Newberg
Chloe funeral just ended. Everyone whom attended the funeral is leaving little by little. Max is the last one there, so is Warren since he is the one driving Max back to Blackwell Academy.
Max and Warren do leave. While on their way back, Max is thinking about a lot of things.
I cannot believe Chloe… my best friend Chloe is gone. For the rest of them it has been a few days, for me it's happened just hours ago. The worst part is that I am responsible for it. I made a choice to let Chloe die to save everyone else in Arcadia Bay… Kate, Victoria, Joyce, and most of all… Warren. He has done a lot for me and he has been sweet and been there for me for long as I can remember… it would be wrong to repay him for everything he has done for me by killing him. Now I wonder if I chose to sacrifice Chloe not for Arcadia Bay, but to save Warren and a few other people. Speaking of which…"
"Warren… are we still going ape this weekend?" asked Max.
"I have no idea what exactly happened between from Chloe being shot and now. I wonder if one of them is going on an trip to Newberg with Warren for the weekend?"
"Well I did ask you, but we agreed that I'd let you give you time to answer and you don't have to answer me back at all and we don't have to go if you want to. I still go tickets just in case," answers Warren. "Do you still want to go?" asks Warren.
"Yes, we should go. I am also wondering if we should stay at a hotel for the night," suggests Max.
Warren is a bit surprised by Max's suggestion as he let in a big gulp. "You and me staying there overnight?" asked Warren, as he isn't sure what to think of this.
"We could if you want to. I could pay for the room and since my dad travels for work a lot, he could get us a discount for the room if I ask him," said Max.
Warren thinks he misheard Max of her saying "room" as in one singular room instead of plural. "As in room, do you mean getting one room?" asked Warren.
"Yes, you and I stay in one room if that is ok with you," says Max.
"Sure… we go to Newberg in the morning, check in at the hotel before the event, have some dinner, and then go to the movie," Warren suggests.
"Then it is settled," said Max.
Max and Warren made it to Blackwell Academy and start planning for the trip. Max is texting to her father about getting a discounted room.
Max and Max's father text
Max – "Dad, my friend and I are getting away to Newberg for the weekend. Could you get us a discount for us?"
Max's father – "Sure… just let make the reservations for you there and I will get back to you as soon as I am done…"
(20 minutes later)
Max's father – "Just got you a two double bed room at the Best Western hotel in Newberg. Just be sure you use the reservation under my name when you get there."
Max – "Thanks dad…"
Max's Father – "I'm sorry that we couldn't make it to Chloe's funeral. We would have gone if it weren't for my job. Your mom is not happy with me for it. :(
Max's Father - … we will come down next weekend to pay our respects."
"I wouldn't tell my dad that I am going on this trip with a boy or he would never have helped me the way he did."
"Well my dad just got us a double bed room at the Best Western hotel," Max informed Warren.
"It will be a ninety minute drive there… maybe we should leave around noon tomorrow? The showing doesn't start until eight," said Warren.
"Deal… see you tomorrow then," replied Max. Max then gives Warren a peck in the cheek before leaving for her dorm room. Warren still cannot believe she just suggested they share a hotel room together.
When Max got back to the girl's hallway… she ran into Kate in the hallway and she told her about her going on a trip with Warren tomorrow.
"I am truly sorry for what happen to Chloe. However, I am glad that you are moving on with your life. I think Chloe would want that for you," said Kate.
"Yeah… I think it does," Max responded.
Kate then tells her good luck with Warren and showing her support for her and Warren.
The next day Max packs up her bags for her trip with Warren. While she is heading towards the parking lot to meet with Warren, she runs into Brooke who doesn't look happy to see her.
"Brooke looks like she is ready to kill me. I know you like Warren, but I also like Warren too and he is the kind of guy for me."
Max meets up with Warren so now they can take off to Newberg. While on their way to Newberg, Max has a lot on her mind.
"I do wonder am I doing the right thing going on this trip. I feel guilty leaving Joyce on her own after her only daughter just died; I do feel I should be with her. However, I need this trip for myself too. I could help Joyce when I get back… it just for one day."
Then she loses her guilt thoughts when she stares at Warren's face.
"Such as pretty face." Without even thinking, Max then puts her left hand on to Warren's right leg.
Warren is taken aback at this, but quickly he calms down. After a pit stop to have some lunch and get some gas, they made to the hotel around two o'clock in the afternoon. They checked in to the hotel and using Ryan Caulfield's discount. Just after the got to the room, room 209 on the second floor they decide to rest up for a bit since they still have several hours to kill before the movie starts.
They have already taken their shoes and socks off and they sit on their separate beds watching TV. It wasn't too long for Max to move to sit next to Warren in his bed. Warren at the same time feels both uncomfortable and excited that she is sitting next to him when she could have chosen to still sit and rest at her bed.
Max grabs Warren shoulders and has it wrapped around her as she snuggles close to him much as she can. Max touches and gently rubs with her bare feet on to Warren's bare feet.
"You have really nice and smooth feet," Max commented.
"Uh… well… thanks… you have nice feet too," Warren responded, blushing and feeling very warm as if someone cranked the heater up to eleven. Warren is now wondering if they are actually developing a romantic relationship from Max commenting on and rubbing his bare feet with her bare feet, getting a date with her, kissed him in the cheek, Max sitting next to him in bed, putting her hand on his leg, and her suggesting getting a hotel room together. He even pinches himself to make sure this is not a dream. He couldn't believe this is all happening. Is this Chloe's doing Warren asks himself.
Twenty minutes later Warren has fallen asleep and taking a nap. Max couldn't help but be amused and giggle seeing Warren asleep.
"He looks so cute and handsome when he sleeps."
Then her eyes wonder towards between Warren's legs. Max then realizes what she is doing and questions herself.
"Did I just stared at his… 'third leg'," Max calls Warren's genital, not wanting even to say or think the actual word. "What is wrong with you Maxine Caulfield? Am I attracted to Warren that much? I know I am starting to like him, but…"
A few hours later before they go to the drive-in, they go to downtown Newberg to do some shopping, have dinner at an Italian restaurant there, and then they go to the drive in… they wonder what could happen?
