It had been a while since Max had seen his new family members, and the last time they met, he hadn't exactly walked away with a good impression of any of them. But the one who stood out the most, without a doubt, was Chad Stern. And that was before Max knew Chad had been the one to sic the entire school on him.
Now, they were going to meet again, at an event hosted by the family of his ex-fiancée. Last time, Max had barely managed to keep it together. And now that he knew the truth… he worried it might end in a complete massacre.
At that moment, Max's hand hovered over the only suit hanging in his closet. He paused, staring at it in silence.
I don't really want to wear this, Max thought. The last time I wore this was at his funeral… and it's all I have left to remind me. It'd just tarnish the memory.
