Chapter Seven

Max woke in his bed, in his house, in his room. Is it morning? Did he sleep the whole night through? Oh, gosh…did he miss his new…his new…whatever they were, are they friends? Or is he in dream land? He was so confused, wearing a frown he swung his legs around and climbed out of bed. He slid his superhero slippers on and headed downstairs, holding to the banister. This was so confusing and he wasn’t sure if it was the insecurity or he was in dream land but he felt a little bit light-headed and felt like he needed to hold on for a bit of extra support. He stopped on the bottom step and listened intently to see if he could hear any voices, maybe his mum talking to his dad or maybe Regan telling James that she was having the last blueberry muffin his mum baked yesterday, but he heard nothing; maybe he did sleep the whole night after all. This made him feel a little disappointed because he wanted to get training under way, maybe then he will feel better in dreamland, maybe then he will have some answers to his endless list of questions.

For what felt like an eternity, no one spoke. Max just looked down at the table, trying to think of what to say. Then Christina broke the silence and said, “Are you OK, sweetie?” she asked in her sweet American accent. He looked up to her and she smiled at him and revealed some very small cracks at the corners of her eyes, they were wrinkles, were they wrinkles last night? Max wondered to himself, he would have never said that out loud.

Max cleared his throat and declared, “I’m fine, thank you.” And looked back down at the table with his hands folded neatly together in his lap. He felt severely uncomfortable. No one said anything in the few seconds following, so Max added, “I just have so many questions to ask.”

Charles was the one that spoke this time. “Dear, boy, all of your questions will be answered in due course. We all still have questions and there will
