Hiding From the Unknown

The man would wait patiently for an answer. The one he received would hurt but not as much as her running away had, as he'd expected this answer. It was all he needed as proof that she hated him...hell her running away had made him suspect that very thing.

He wanted nothing more than for her to be happy even if that meant he had to be miserable. Even if he had nothing to do with that happiness, it was all he wanted for her. He would not move or make a sound for a while after she had answered. He was two busy chastising himself for ever even considering a possibility of her even remotely liking him.

Finally the man would growl at himself "Your an idiot Max!" his voice would be so soft it had almost been a whisper and then with no anger his voice would raise loud enough for her to hear "I never would have told you if I had known it would make you hate me. Hell, I wasnt expecting you to accept it but...."

Maximous would sigh then, realizing that he was just waisting his breath again. She wanted him to go away but still he hoped she would come out and tell him he was wrong. Based on his previous hopes he figured it would't happen. After a frew minutes he would stand and move towards the entrance. After a few seconds he oppened his mouth to say something but then closed it again deciding she probably didnt care and then would turn around to walk away.

Though he wouldnt make it far before collapsing on the ground only to cover his face with both paws.
