Max was thinking the choices over in his head. A good portion of his life he had not given up, even if he hated people who used him as a toy. He never hated his father though, but everyone else who he fell coy to.. Maybe he should keep going and see the outcome? If anything else happened that wasn't on good measure, he would surely choose to have a cold heart by then. It would be a matter of time and waiting it out though. He decided he would go with what Jacob said and see about getting closer to Elise. He continued to run and catch up to Jacob. "Hey.. I thought it over.. I think I want to get to know Elise better.. If you think that it'll help me..." he told him. Little did he know that this was probably the worst decision he could ever make in his life. But he didn't know that at all, it was a surprise waiting in the shadows. Those surprises, that probably would rip him apart for sure. "So.. How do I better understand Elise?" he asked Jacob, running along side him.
