Alone (camp camp) *~DISCONTINUED~*

Part 35

Nikki's POV
I was lying in my bed, just starring at the ceiling, thinking.
Thinking about max.
No, this has gone too far.
We need to step in.
I need to step in.
Maybe, talk to his foster parents?
Tell them what's going on?
Maybe they could help.
But neither the less, This has gone way too far.
We gave max his space, and from the looks of it, he has only gotten worse.
This can't go in for any longer.
I take out my phone and face time max.
He picked up after a couple seconds.
Except, the camera wasn't facing him, it was facing his ceiling.
"Max?"
"Uh, hi Nikki!"
Something wasn't right.
"Max why isn't the cam facing you?"
I heard a sigh in the distance.
"Nik, I'm sorry but I'm kinda busy."
I was skeptical.
"Oh really? And busy with with what exactly?
Though I couldn't see him, I knew he was frowning.
When was he not really.
"Busy with... with homework."
I still had my doubts.
But figured I would talk to him at school.
Hell, maybe he was actually busy with homework.
"Okay..."
I frowned.
"Talk to you later."
"Bye."
He was the first to hang up.
Wait.
If he could have hanged up then he could have least tilted the screen to let me see him!
I was kinda mad to say the least.

Max's POV
After I was done with what I was doing I wrapped my wounds with toilet paper.
I took a sigh.
I didn't want to be alone with my thoughts anymore.
I need to take my mind off of things.
I look over to my backpack.
I open it and pull out my laptop.
I somehow managed to convince my parents that I needed it for school work.
I almost forgot about it.
I walked over to the desk, set down the laptop and sat down in the chair.
I open the laptop and entered the password.
I made sure that the password was memorable.
I type it in.
'BitchesAtTheCrustyCrab' 
It opens and I was met with a familiar scene.
A stupid dog meme as the background  and a bunch of editing apps.

I click on YouTube.
I'm met with dozens of notifications.
Some spam, some meaningful.
And by meaningful I mean notifications from my channel.
Wait, my channel?
God, it's been so long I forgot it even existed.
(Pay attention kiddos this is gonna be important to da plot)
I click once more to my old channel.
I'm met face-to-face with three old videos.
"Oh my god."
Even though I had only posted three videos, they somehow... got popular?
Holy shit.
Literally all I've ever posted in this channel were really awful songs.
I remember the three I uploaded.

-Devil town
-meteor shower
-were alive

Looking back I realize how cringy those name titles were.
But can't help but smile looking back on those times.
I clicked on the first video I ever upload.
And gave it a listen.
(EEEEEEE I'm so exited for this part cuz I finally get to bring the music out!)

Why did I forget about this part of my life?
Upon listening to it, I would change some things about it, but besides that, it was one of the things I was proud of.
And I'm not proud of a lot of the things I do.
I then recall how I made it.
All of the instruments I used were either programmed through a music app, or I was practicing them at the time.
If I wasn't studying my parents would try to find any way to get me to now bother them.
Then I'm greeted by the second song.

Then I listened to this one.
How could I forget how much I loved to sing?
This brought a smile onto my face.
And then the third.

I kept on smiling as I listen to all of them.
All in all each of them had about 30,000 views.
Holy fuck.
Still smiling, I read all of the wonderful comments.

A/n
Okay so I lied and ended up posting a chapter today anyway cuz I finished it earlier then expected so here ya go.
Also if u read the description they ARE eventually gonna start a band so, this just leads to that.
Umm, you don't need to listen to the songs if you don't wanna, but I tried to pick songs with lyrics that kind of described Max's situation as a kid.
Hope you guys liked the cringy chapter stay safe eat cake 🍰 uwu.
