@max-answers || why do have gun
It wasn’t as if there had been anything out of the ordinary with Max lately. He didn’t seem particularly mad or upset as far as David could tell. If that had been the case, maybe he could have anticipated this, at least on some level. Granted, there wasn’t anything in the world that ever could have prepared him for the sight of his beloved son sitting in his room holding a gun. It wasn’t what he’d been expecting to see as he opened the boy’s door with a bowl full of spaghettios for him, to say the least.
If it were anyone else, common sense would have told him to run. He would have dropped the bowl and gotten out of there as fast as he could, hand flying to his phone to call for help, but this was Max. There was no attempt to flee- no attempt to get out of the way. His head tilted to the side, expression taut with concern.
“Max? Why do you have a gun?”
