Hello this is my 2nd Life is strange story and hope it does better than the last one always looking to improve. Will try to update daily enjoy.

Max's Pov- I sighed for what felt like the millionth time today. Has it really been a month already since that insane week of October? I guess time flies when your just sulking and depressed all the time. The new teacher that replaced that... Creep Jefferson was giving out a lecture, on what? I have no idea the room is always tuned out probably why my grades have been going down the shitter quick. But I cant help it what's the point? That crazy week after everything that happened all the things I did all the suffering and nightmares I had to go through and for what? My best friend my first crush my amazing punk captain Chloe Price was dead. That night at the light house I was very tempted to shred that damn photo and let Chloe live but then what? Everyone else would be dead. Warren ,Joyce, David, Kate, Victoria, Brooke, Dana. I couldn't live with that and Chloe knew that, in a way she was trying to save me so after one last kiss and love confession...i killed her. I know i didn't pull the trigger but letting it happen when you knew you could do something about it was worst in my opinion. Ever since I just gave up on life I basically become a super depressed robot I just go to classes do my work and head straight to my dorm and lock myself in for the rest of the day. In the beginning my other friends tried to cheer me up but after a while I was getting sick of it and kind of blew up on them they haven't tried again since and its worst that Kate moved out of town because of the whole video bullshit I really wish she was here she was the only one besides Chloe I could really talk to. Now here I am not paying attention in class and just looking at the Photo of me ad Chloe back in happier times...Back when she was alive.

I watched as a few of my tears land on the photo. "Chloe...why did it have to be you? It should have been me."

Then out of nowhere the teacher snatched my photo right from under me he now had my full attention.

"Max can you please tell me what we were just discussing?" He asked as he held my most precious photo.

I didn't care what we were talking about I didn't care about this damn school I didn't care about my stupid Photography future I just want Chloe back.

"Please give it back please!" God I sound pathetic begging and I haven't spoken a word for so long my voice is a little raspy but I was desperate it was one of the only things I have left of Chloe.

He shook his head and sighed. "Max I know you've been going through a hard time"

"He doesn't know shit!"

"But your grades are becoming very poor, I've been generous so far but trust me this is for your own good." He walked back to his desk and in my disbelief he put the photo in a drawer and locked it. That's when I lost it.

"What the fuck!? Give it Back!" I couldn't believe I said that out loud and to a teacher no less but I'm finally hitting my limit.

He narrowed his eyes and yelled back. "To the Principle's office Max now!"

I cried angry tears and flipped him off as I walked out. "Fuck you!" I slammed the door so hard the school echoed with it.

Max was so angry she didn't see the shocked faces of the other students or one students look of worry.

I was now on my bed sobbing and holding my teddy bear like a child I'm so pathetic. My phone buzzed and I immediately knew it was either mom or dad probably asking why I cussed a teacher out. "Who care's what they say this there fault to, if we haven't moved to Seattle this would never of happened!"

Was it fare blaming my Parents? Probably not but I'm just so done with it all I wanted this to end.

A knock at the door interrupted my thoughts and I groaned. " Warren please I'm not in the mood go make out with Brooke or something" "Go away!" I yelled but the knocking continued. I growled stood up and marched to the door.

"I said go aw" I stop mid sentenced because the person who's there surprised me. I cant remember her name but she just recently moved here and is now occupying Kate's old dorm room. She was tall about as tall as Chloe was. She had on a black sleeveless shirt, Black skinny jeans and red tennis shoes. Her eyes were a shocking red color, her right eyebrow was pierced, her hair was as short like Victoria's but the left side of her bangs almost covered her left eye and it was dyed red with orange highlights. She also looked like she goes tanning with how tanned she is and her breasts look like a c cup if I had to take a wild guess.

She smiled sheepishly at me and scratched her head in nervousness while her other hand was behind her back. "Sorry to bother you Max, I just uhh wanted to give you this" She said as she showed me what she was hiding.

I gasped I couldn't believe it, it was the Photo Mr. asshole took from me. I immediately snatched the photo and sighed thanking god that I had it back. "How did you get this?!"

She just smirked and pretended to clean her nails. "Oh lets just say I have a talent of breaking into things and stealing shit"

I surprised her by giving her a very tight hug. "Thank you so much! You have no idea how much this means to me!"

Her face was starting to turn as red as her eyes. "Max please cant breath."

I immediately let her and blushed a bit. "s..sorry"

She just smiled and waved her hand. "No problemo I saw how important that photo was to you and well...just seemed right."

For the first time since Chloe's death I gave a small smile. "Thanks"

We stood there a little awkwardly for a minute not knowing what else to say but thank god she broke that spell.

She looked over my shoulder and beamed. "sweet guitar, you play?"

I just shrugged. "I used to". I haven't played since Chloe died there's a lot of things I haven't done since her death.

"Mind if I give it a whorl? I haven't played in ages" She asked

I was really conflicted I wanted to be alone and I barely knew her...But she did go through all the trouble and risked getting caught to get my photo back and she seems nice. " Sure knock yourself out"

Her smile grew and walked past me as I closed the door behind her. "Awesome! Thanks Max."

She gently picked it up and sat on the sofa as I sat on my bed across from her. She strummed it a few times and fiddle with it to her liking. "Any requests?"

I just shrugged. "Surprise me"

She closed her eyes and her smile softened. "You may not of heard this one because its originally Japanese but I think you'll like it" The she started playing and singing.

"Do you feel alone?
Can you hear me now?
Your mind is so far away still on earth
Many times you are hurting yourself
You can't be just a life on the shelf
It's only you that can fly this new unicorn
Into the sky."

My Jaw literally dropped. Her voice was...so beautiful her tone was soft with a hint of sadness. And she's right I've never heard of these lyrics before but..It was beautiful and in a way I can relate.

"And it's every time, you hurt yourself with knives
And I'm calling, calling out your name again
If you're holding, holding onto fear I knew
The blind can open, let light shine through"

At this point tears we're falling down my cheeks. I just couldn't believe how much this song along with her voice is just getting me.

"And I say
Why we can't stop all this sacrifice?
I know that all the lies became the stone in your heart
I wonder how long you gonna survive
We didn't see all it's meaning"

Now I was completely bawling I finally let it all out a month worth of pain is coming out all at once. I didn't even notice the the singing stop and that she sat down next to me and held me. At this point I didn't care I buried my face into her shirt and just cried my eyes out.

She gently rubbed my back. "shhh that's it let it all out, just let it all go"

After what felt like hours I finally calmed down. "Thanks" I mumbled.

She just gave m a small smile. "No thanks needed I could tell you needed that, and by the way the Name's Ember"

I smiled a little. "Im Max"

She giggled. "I know the teacher screamed your name as you flipped him off which was awesome by the way"

For the first time in a long time I laughed.

There it was the first chapter hope it was alright and the song used was Into the sky by sawano hiroyuki. It was the opening theme to an anime Gundam Unicorn and thought it was beautiful. anyway thanks for reading.
