Camp Half Blood II

Max listened to Arthur's story silently and then watched him walk away. She turned and walked in the opposite direction, wandering aimlessly.

Adam sees her mouth the words, and stands back up immediately. "No. Devon, you stay. I'll get the ice cream," he says, laying a hand on Artimes' shoulder. "I'll be right back," he reassures her before hurrying out of the room.

"Yeah? Well you didn't tell me, so fuck off. You know, I actually thought I had a friend, but I should have suspected otherwise. Hell, I should have remembered otherwise, but you fucked with my memories and put yourself where you didn't belong," she says, jabbing a finger into his chest with each of the last three words.

Adam stills. "Oh, dioses. When?" he asks, looking shattered. When Artimes rouses, he startles. He shushes her while she explains. "Cariña, you have nothing to apologize for. I should have been here for you, and I wasn't. I'm so sorry. I had a huge exam scheduled, so I left, but I should have kept in contact with you. I'm so, so sorry," he says, taking her hand and kissing it gently. He looks at Devon gratefully. "Thank you so much for being here for her," he says sincerely.

Max spins and punches him square in the jaw with the other fist. "Fuck you," she spits, wrenching her arm out of his grasp.

Max hears Arthur approach and walks more quickly, teeth grinding and hands clenched.
~~~
A tearing sound interrupts the silence of the room where Devon sits with Artimes. Adam steps through a portal of swirling sand, and immediately notices Artimes' state. He rushes over quietly and bends to hover over her. "What- What happened?" he asks Devon, looking distraught. "Why was she crying?"

Camp Half Blood II

Max stares at Arthur for several seconds, then turns and storms away, pushing past Artimes and Devon. The front door slams behind her as she leaves, frame shuddering from the force. Each step she takes down the sidewalk boils the cement, leaving slight indents where she walks.

Max, who has been asleep the entire time, finally rouses from where she had collapsed on the armchair. She hears Devon and Winter murmuring and follows the sound. When she turns the corner, she catches a glimpse of Arthur and stops dead in her tracks.
