Max stopped what he was doing when Kieara had taken ahold of his arm. He looked at her for a moment, hearing her talk about how they will take him away if he didn't cooperate. He looked away from her for a moment, not sure what to say or do. But just by looking at her eyes, he knew he had to listen for now, so he gave in to her words. He gently pulled his arm away from her and walked off back upstairs, standing by the bathroom. As much as he hated water, and as much as he hated seeing Kieara sad, those two hates seemed to have collided. He had to side with something, and for now, he chose Kieara.
