The contrast between light and shadow, black and white, was something that Max remembered Mr Jefferson focused on primarily in his classes. He would be apt to point out how powerful an image can be if the balance in monochrome was achieved correctly. It seemed like most of his prized photographs were in black and white, polaroids, printed or digital photos.
The shadows covered half of Mark Jefferon's face as he, already on the taller side, now towered over Max. The gun that was in his grip nearly slipped, almost falling to the ground. Max raised her right hand, her head began turning, as if it were on a swivel and it had been spun around fully about one hundred times. For a single, solitary moment Mr Jefferson showed some… remorse, regret, maybe?
Max couldn't rewind, she could stop Chloe from being shot through the head, not able to warn her best friend. Would she be able to speak to Warren again? Max was actually anticipating their "date" for the drive in movie, and she might not have be able to make it. Kate would still be in the hospital, hopefully her family had been to see her.
All Max could do was well wish. Her thoughts even drifted to Victoria, the prissy bitch with a shitload of talent. Why was she so stuck up and cliché when she could easily be a kind rich girl?
Why did all of this rewinding time shit happen to her? She had prevented William's death, which ended up screwing Chloe over, saved Chloe numerous times beforehand, and now when she had to do it again her powers fucked up. Just like with Kate; Max was just lucky she had saved Kate when she was able to.
Now, the lessons on shadows giving a new meaning plagued Max, filled her head with lectures. The gentle, soft words from her very handsome teacher now seemed like an extremely distant dream, a happier time than that of the devil who towered over her. He held a predatory gaze over her, like she was a bag of meat, or something.
A.N. This was something I felt like I had to write. I don't know why, but I did. Also, I want to do more stories on Life is Strange (there really should be more out there). I DO NOT want people to say to me that I spoiled the ending of episode four, I'll make sure to put that in the summary. If you haven't played it, I suggest you do, I cried at the start of episode four with Chloe in her bed when she asked that favour of Max. And despite everything, I still think Jefferson is a hot teacher, psycho, but still. Could make something cool there. Anyways, don't know if this is a very short one shot, or if I make more (I might leave it until episode five comes out in a couple of months). If I do make something else, keep an eye out.
