I think I might have hurt his feelings.
But I didn't mean to, really. It's just... Max and I are best friends, but I still know nothing about him before he came onto the Animarium. He knows about Kendall and my sisters and my fear of heights, but I don't know anything about him. It doesn't seem fair, that I can come to him with my problems but he can't seem to go to anyone about his.
Which was why I could have kissed that old trophy of his. I finally had physical proof that he'd had a life before the battle with the Orgs. And while he may had not been a superstar (at least by most people's standards); I thought that getting first place in the amateur division was very exciting.
But Max had just given me a pained look, mumbled something about how it was nothing, and then disappeared.
I didn't mean to hurt him... but I can't help it, I'm still happy. About finding the trophy, at least. Finding out any part of Max's past is reason enough for celebration... and it also means I might find out more.
I won't push it. It's bad enough knowing that I may have hurt him on accident, I refuse to do it on purpose. But I'm going to keep my eyes and ears open.
After all, the past has a way of coming back when you least expect it.
