Once David finished prepping, he thought it was a good idea to make the entire camp go. Great.
"Why, of all days, did we have to take a HIKE during HEAT WAVE, on the HOTTEST DAY OF SUMMER!" Neil complained, with Max's snarky reply of, "At least you're not wearing a fucking hoodie and pants." Nikki was running ahead of the group and whooping. As they continued the hike, it seemed like the day kept getting hotter and hotter.
Max was sweating balls by now and everyone else was just kind of tired.
That's when black spots started appearing in Max's vision.
He kept continuing, but after a while, the nausea was too much and he passed out.
David needed to take off the hoodie, but he knew what was under it. He told Gwen to keep continuing the trail and to make sure that none of the campers looked at Max while David removed his hoodie, revealing all of the scars and burns Max had gotten while living with his old parents, and David started running back to the cabin with Max in his arms.
Once the rest of the campers returned from the hike, Max had woken up. He looked at his dad, although he didn't like referring to David as that. It had never been a... positive term for him. While he was recovering from the heatstroke, some people came in to visit him, so he had to cover his arms.
He was fully recovered by dinner, and there was now a few days until camp was over.
