Max's POV
It was the end of Max's school year. She had just finished 1st grade. She had learned so much at the end of her 6th year of life and start of 7th. She had , done really well learning spelling words and also starting to read more books. She was if you would like to call it . The top of the class. All the girls envied her because she got the highest scores. Although max wanted to scream at them, Henry stoped her. SO many times throughout the end of kindergarten and the first grade year , she had done so well on tests or just responding to the teacher. The other girls , always teased her. But with the help of Henry and her mom, she didn't fight back. She just nodded and walked away. Henry defended her and told the girls not to mess with max.
This was during the time that her mom and dad's relationship was starting to slowly fall apart. Max noticed that the three of them rarely wanted to go out together,. It was always just with her mom or just with her dad. Back at the end of kindergarten , max's mom had fallen pregnant with their second child. Max was so excited to become a big sister. She wanted a little brother , but didn't hate the thought of a little sister. Her father also was excited. He couldn't believe he would finally have another daughter like max or a son.

Her mom and dad suddenly having HUGE mood swings. Sometimes super overjoyed to hug her and kiss her cheek. Other days ,getting frustrated at max for the littlest things. Max still was positive though, She knew whatever her parents were going through that they needed space. Over time they had to become the happy family they were before right?.Sometimes max told Henry that school or his house were better then being home. Being with Henry and his parents gave max happiness. They had loved max from the first time they met her. They were so happy that their son Henry had a loyal , funny and beautiful girl to call his best friend. Max's mom even sometimes dropped max off at henrys without telling her, and they would spend the day and evening together. Max and Henry would be up sometimes till 11pm which was late for both of them. Talking and laughing. Sometimes max even going into detail about how her parents seamed distant. Not much though. She always shrugged it off and moved onto another topic. Max felt a feeling, it was unknown. It wasn't quite sad but it felt like it in a way but not all. She was confused with this feeling. But whenever she felt like this she just thought about how Henry and her mom promised it would get better. It had to..
