The next night....
Max
Mrs Mayfield - "Max, take out the trash."
Max - (Sigh) "On it."
Arcee - "Hey kid."
Max - (Scream)
Mrs Mayfield - "Max, are you okay?"
Max - "Yeah, mom. I'm okay. I just saw a huge bug. (Whispering) What the fuck are you doing here?"
Arcee - "Can we talk?"
Max - "Fine. What are you doing here and what do you want?"
Arcee - "Listen, I know this is all too much for you and I bet you're still trying manage it."
Max - "Hell yeah I am."
Arcee - "Listen, like Lucas said, he didn't want to tell you about me and my friends because he didn't want to put you in danger. He's really sorry. If anything happened to him, I wouldn't forgive myself. ....He told me your step brother, Billy died. I'm really sorry."
Max - "Thank you."
Arcee - "You're welcome. Lucas wants to be a good friend to you. Let him. Don't hold back."
Max - "....Okay."
Arcee - "Good."
Mrs Mayfield - "Max?"
Arcee - "Looks like I better go before I get you in trouble."
Max - "Okay."
Arcee - "Goodnight, Max."
Max - "Goodnight, Arcee."
