Chapter 10:
The next day Huey, Dewie, and Louie had gone to the park. It was definitely a great way to get their minds off of what was going on at home with their mother. They'd spend the afternoon swinging on the swings, playing pirates, checking out hot girls, and playing pranks on people. Just the kinds of things that they always did together and always had tons of fun doing.
They all had mixed feelings about their mother. Dewie and Louie had taken into account what Huey had told them a few days ago about how he didn't trust her and they shouldn't either.
Louie however, with much thinking, had decided to give Jenny another chance. He loved his mother so much and deep down in his heart he wanted everything to be normal and he wanted their mother in their life again. He was sure that everything would be okay.
Dewey was confused. He wanted to be like Louie and believe that everything would be okay. He desperately wanted to. He loved living with Donald and Daisy, they were wonderful, but just once he wanted to be normal again and have a mom who wasn't a druggie. But at the same time the reality was that Jenny was seriously messed up and he didn't know what happened since the last time he'd seen her and he didn't know what had changed. He didn't know who to believe.
And Huey was set in his belief that their mother could not be trusted. He'd put his trust in her too many times and for what? For her to walk out multiple times and choose her drugged up crack addicted life over them. He barely spoke to her when they were at home. At time he'd see the sadness in her eyes when he refused her kindness and he felt bad but for what? He owed her nothing and he had no reason to feel bad. This wasn't his fault. He was sure that in a few days he'd wake up and she'd be gone and he wasn't going to be disappointed when she left.
All of a sudden an engine roared and a black and red motorcycle drove through the park. The boys looked at it fascinated. When it stopped, Max took off the helmet and waved at them. "Hey guys."
"Whoa! Cool!" They exclaimed running over to him.
"This is so awesome!" Dewie exclaimed.
"Where did you get it?" Huey asked.
"At the shop up the street," Max replied proudly.
"I wish Uncle Donald and Aunt Daisy would let us have one," Louie said touching the shiny exterior.
"Can we go for a ride sometime Max?" Dewie asked.
"Of course you can," Max said.
They jumped up and down excitedly. They'd always admired Max. They'd thought he was so cool ever since they were little. He did lots of cool things, he had a pretty girlfriend, and now he had a motorcycle! He was the kind of guy they wanted to be.
"Hey Max, you won't believe this prank we pulled earlier!" Huey said excited for Max to join in.
"Yeah, come on, we'll show you!" Louie said.
Max got off the bike. "Alright, this better be good."
Dewey and Louie ran off and Max was about to run after them but Dewey stopped him. "Hey Max, can I talk to you?"
"Of course," Max said. They sat down on the bench. "Is this about your mom?"
Dewey nodded. "Yeah. I don't know what to do Max. I don't want to just cut her off. But Huey said we shouldn't bother trying because she'll leave anyway. I don't want to believe that, but I kinda do and I feel bad. I don't know what to think. Huey is right...she abandoned us and I'm still really mad at her but...I don't know."
"I don't blame you Dewey," Max said. "I think you have every right to be mad. I mean, she's your mom, she shouldn't have left you."
"Would you forgive her?"
Max thought for a moment. "Well...if she had gotten help and was really seriously honest and serious about it I would. If not, then no."
"You're really lucky to have Sylvia, Max."
Max thought about that for a moment. He was lucky to have Sylvia. She was the best mother in the whole world and he loved her with all of his heart and soul. And it was wrong for him to be lying to her about the motorcycle. He was suddenly hit with a wave of guilt. She only wanted to protect him and he knew that what he was doing was wrong. He'd never lied to her like this before and he'd done it just because he was mad.
He decided that he'd take the motorcycle back. He wouldn't lie anymore and he wouldn't make his dad lie for him. It was the right thing to do.
Huey, Dewie, Louie, and Max have basically grown up together so it's only understandable that they see him as a role model and big brother. Looks like Max is having second thoughts about the motorcycle. I guess he'll be a good son after all and return it.
