Disclaimer: I have decided I love Whitney Cummings… I don't watch her other show… so I don't care. I love this one. I don't own it, but I am totally running on a thought I had after watching the last episode.

A/N: Okay… I should be doing other things but you know how it is… plot bunnies come and you can't do anything about it until you write them down. New fandom for me, first 2 broke girls fic… I hope the show lasts a looooong time.

And the little person

Sad

Max woke up that morning with a heavy yolk of depression pressing down on her chest. Why? She had been so happy the past few months. Since Caroline had been in her life, their friendship had given her a hope for her future. Maybe she could get out of this dump.

She stood from her bed and headed for her dresser. She saw the date of her Calendar and she began to sob. "I don't deserve to live better." She murmured to herself. She wanted to crawl back in bed. For get baking, forget the diner, forget Peaches; she just wanted to lay in bed all day. But she couldn't. she had to keep going. No time to feel sorry for herself.

She wiped her face with her sleeve and tried to erase her state of mind. She didn't need Caroline to question her. So she showered dressed and headed to the kitchen to bake.

Caroline was such a heavy sleeper. She didn't even hear the mixer. Max looked at the mixer and sighed. "If you were a man I'd marry you… I love this mixer."

"I told you you'd like that one better." Caroline said through a yawn. Max smiled a fake smile. It did not reach her eyes. It hid nothing. Caroline already knew something was up. "Oh, by the way, a card came for you yesterday from a guy named David."

"David?" Max's head shot up from what she was doing. Caroline held out the card and Max yanked it out of her hand. "Give me that."

"You're welcome!" Caroline said as Max disappeared into her room.

In her room, Max opened the card and looked at the invitation to come and Join David Bill and Skyler at their home for a birthday celebration. In the front of it there was a picture of the three of them Two handsome dudes looking adoringly at a little girl with dark brown hair and big green eyes and no front teeth.

Skyler is turning 6. Six years ago Max was still in high school. "Max?" Caroline said coming into the room. Max quickly hid the card in her drawer and blinked away stray tears.

"What?" She snapped at her friend.

"You want to hang out tonight after work?"

"I'm not going in today." Max said sharply "I have something I need to do."

"Max," Caroline said, "What's wrong? She came closer to her friend and tried to touch her shoulder.

Max recoiled from her touch. "Stop… I need a drink."

"It's 10 AM!"

"It's noon somewhere." Max said the moment she went out to the corner store. Caroline followed her and watched in awe as she used their hard earned money to buy a forty-dollar bottle of vodka. She was disgusted and glad at the same time. Disgusted because it was a cheap bottle, and glad because it was cheap. She could have gone for cheaper, but Max had standards, she could respect that. "CAROLINE! Please leave me alone." Max grumbled and walked back to the apartment.

"What's today?" Caroline asked. "Did we hit some sort of landmine day?"

"Yes Caroline, " she said going back inside the building. "Stay away from the landmine."

"Tell me what happened." Caroline said as they ascended the stairs towards their apartment again. "Maybe I can help. You helped me on a landmine day."

Max glared at her. "Leave me alone Caroline, I'd do the same thing for you."

"You are always helping me through mine. "

"Like when?" Max asked as they entered the apartment.

"Valentines day, Christmas, my birthday…"

"Those don't count. Those are everyone's landmine days." She reached for a shot glass in the cupboards, and opened the Vodka. She poured a shot and slammed it.

"Okay how about the day that my father got sentenced and I found myself alone lost in a strange neighborhood completely broke and homeless."

Max stayed quiet. She handed Caroline a shot glass full of vodka. She poured herself another and slammed it. "I just can't talk about it okay?"

"You can't, or you won't?"

"Won't."

Caroline sighed and took the shot then left to get ready for work without another word. When she came out of the shower, Max lay across the bed crying half the bottle gone. She came to her and just wrapped her arms around her held her while she cried. She began to rub circles on her back. It seemed to calm Max down a little. Max turned her head and nuzzled Caroline's Neck. Caroline had to admit to herself. That the reason she insisted on helping Max so much was not only because she was there when she needed someone the most. It was also that Max had a raw animal magnetism that even she couldn't resist. She hated to see her hurting and she couldn't let her deal with it alone.

Max breath on her neck eventually slowed. Caroline wondered if she had fallen asleep. She turned her head to look, but Max's hooded green eyes stared back at her. She didn't know why, but this made Caroline's insides churn. Max's full lips just inches from her own, made her nipples stand erect and tingle. Without thinking, Caroline claimed the other woman's lips.

Max stiffened for a moment her eyes wide but then Caroline Relaxed into her and her tongue asked for entrance, and she relaxed allowing her friend to completely melt into her. Then it dawned on her That Caroline was still naked. Just wrapped in a towel. And she began to freak out a little. She didn't know where to put her hands, she wanted to stop but she didn't want to stop. She put her right hand on Caroline's shoulder. But her other arm was trapped in between them.

Caroline broke the kiss and began to trail kisses along Max's Jaw line. Max moaned, then whined because she really liked that. She didn't want to feel good really, but she didn't want to stop. Maxed attempted to liberate her hand from between them and when she did, the towel fell off of her friend's body.

Maybe if she touched her, Caroline would back off. After all she had once told her that she was so straight, that kissing a girl hadn't turned her on in the least bit. So Max moved the hand on Caroline's shoulder and slid it slowly down her back. She brought her left leg up between Caroline's legs and her newly liberated hand went straight for her ass.

Caroline moaned then looked down at her friend. She saw the panic in Max's eyes and then she realized she was nude. "Oh my god… Max I'm sorry." Max let go of Caroline.

"Don't sweat it. It 's the most action I've had since Johnny." She reached down for the Vodka bottle on the floor. She unscrewed the top and took a swig. "Killed my buzz though."

Max walked out of her room, out of her apartment. Vodka in hand and she walked aimlessly in the neighborhood streets. She was in a Haze of sadness and unease that she had never felt before. The next thing she knew, She was in front of Johnny's building. She stared at it for a long time. She didn't register the people coming in and out of the building until she heard her name be called. "Max?"

She turned her head and saw Johnny standing there a huge smile on his face as if he were really glad to see her. She doesn't know why, but in that instant she forgot why she wasn't with him. She launched herself at him. And he, being the weak man that he was did not say no.

They kissed as they made their way up to his apartment. They undressed as they made their way to his bed. They didn't think of his girlfriend, or the fact that Max was clearly inebriated. He had wanted her for a long time, and his girlfriend was gone for the weekend. Once they were done the second time around he looked at a very sleepy Max. "Stay the weekend with me," he whispered.

"mmm?" she cuddled into him. "What time is it?"

"Almost five." He murmured. She sat up fast, and her head immediately protested. She slid out of bed. "Where are you going?"

"I have to go." Max said and walked out of the room picking up garments and putting them on as she went. "This was a huge drunken mistake. It should never have happened and it will never happen again."

Max left Johnny's apartment. No looking back but instead of heading home she headed to the subway. She had somewhere to be.
