Chapter Text
Chloe Gripped the steering wheel. She doesn't know what to say. Max saved her fucking life over everyone else's.She didn't know whether to be pissed off or grateful. Chloe glances over to her staring out of the window in the direction of the lighthouse they were just at standing at watching the tornado tear through the town.
What is she thinking about? She is probably regretting saving me. Fuck! But why did she save me and sacrifice everyone else over me?
“Why did you save me?” Chloe blurted out into the silence the car had absorbed.
“I don't know maybe because I care about you! Does that ring a bell?”
“Damn MadMax! No need to go down on me I was just asking.”
“Sorry…….Sorry I'm just overwhelmed You know?”
“No I completely understand and really if you want to go back and check for survivors I would be fine with…”
“No!....I'm mean no really I don't want to because I will get my hopes up for something impossible……….Its all my fault!! All my fucking fault that everyone is dead!
Max started to cry but before she could let out anymore sobs Chloe stopped driving and hugged Max tightly causing Max to sorta jump.
“None of this is just your fault! You never asked for this.You never asked for the power. It's my fault I made you care about me and I put you under a...I don't know CHLOE SPELL or some shit like that and now you think I mean something when I don't! I'm trash compared to everyone else but only you saw the light in me for some reason!” She had gradually started raising her voice till she was practically screaming at Max. Then she realized what she was doing and almost immediately brought her yell down to the calmest voice she could manage.
"I just need to know Max because No matter how selfless I try to pretend to be, I want to know why someone cares this much about me."
Chloe started to tear up but when she said the Last few words Max Hugged her even more tightly.
“Chloe you are the most important thing to me right now and when we were figuring out Arcadia bay’s secrets! I have always cared about you as well! Ever since we became friends back before all this when we were like baby 9 and 10 year olds I've cared. Me moving was horrible for me and I hope you know that. But I bet you didn't and that's why you were so pissed at me back in your room about it and I completely understand. I wanted to text you but I thought you were off doing better things with your life then me.But at least you had Rachel and at least she gets justice right?!”
Chloe grimaced at hearing her name but Shook it off because this was about Max not Rachel.
“Yeah…….I guess I just don't really understand you Maxi.Your so quiet all the time it's hard to figure you out.” Chloe was trying to help Max but she kept bringing the worlds problems onto her shoulders and that really pissed Chloe off because Max didn't deserve that, which is what made her so pissed off
They then just sat there hugging in silence for what seemed like only minutes when it was almost a half hour spent.Chloe finally let go of Max and sat back up in her seat and sighed.
“Max just tell me one thing.”
“Shoot”
“Where the hell are we going”
Then they both looked at the “Leaving Arcadia bay”
“I have no clue”
Chloe then put her hands on the wheel and and started off beyond Arcadia.
