In the struggle of emotions

PROLOUGE PART 1: Bittersweet Memories

(Song by Bullet for my Valentine)

2008

Max eyes were red and puffy from crying. This is the worst day in my life she thought. Max looked out of the car, just to get more and more anxious, the nearer they got to their destination. Today is the day she fears since she knows it will happen. Today she will leave Arcadia Bay and her best friend Chloe.

Max's Dad got a Job offer in Seattle, so they have to life there. When they arrived at the Price's house, Max nearly started to Hyperventilate. She was always so shy, but today will let a hole in her Heart. "Come on sweetie." Max heard her father say as he opens her the car door. Slowly climbing out of the car, Max couldn't bring it over her to walk to the door. Weeks bevor she told Chloe that she will leave. But now the situation changed.

Just a week ago, Chloe's father died in a horrible car accident. And in that week, Max never left Chloe's side. But now she leaves her behind. Max feels the knot in her chest getting bigger and heavier. As they reached the Door, Max breathing gets heavier. As Chloe's mother Joyce opened the Door, Max tears break out again. Her tears roll down her eyes and she wanted to scream in pain. Hugging Joyce a last time, Max runs the stairs up, to reach Chloe's room. As she knocked, no response came from the room.

"Chloe? You in there?" Max said with a broken voice, but still nothing happened. "Chloe, please! Talk to me! I can't stand this, if you don't talk to me!" Max said with a way louder, but still shaking voice.

"She won't open door Honey. She hasn't leaved her room since yesterday." Joyce said from downstairs. That was too much for her. She felt on her knees and screamed all her Pain out. With her Tears rolling down her cheeks, and the screams, Max wanted to die immediately. What sense does all this have, when my best friend doesn't talk to me she thought.

After a time that feels like Hours to her, she found the strength to stand up. She touched he best friend's door a last time and started to leave the door behind her. As she reached the stairs, Max heard the door open. With Chloe standing in the Doorway with eyes also puffy and bloodshot from crying, as Max turned to look, she ran right into her arms and hugged her with all she had.

With Chloe hugging her back, they entered Chloe's room. As Max closed the door behind them, Chloe walked to her bed and laid on her back, tapping on the place next to her. Max walked to her and sat on the edge of the bed. What should I say? I don't know how I could make that any easier for both of us she thought.

"Chloe why don't you let me in?" Max asked.

"What difference would it make. You will leave me anyway. It's not like you would stay just because I want you to" Chloe said with a broken voice.

"I don't leave you because I want to Che. I need to go with my parents. When I could I would stay, believe me. I-I would do anything to stay with you." Max said heartbroken.

"Then why don't you have talked to our Parents? I'm sure Mom would let you life with us." Chloe cried out. As they heard Max's Parents calling for her, both girls started to cry. They walked down to their parents, hand in hand.

As Max Parents took her hand to lead her out, Max fought against it. Getting loose of her Father's grip, she hugged Chloe a last time.

"Please don't leave me alone Max. I need you!" Chloe said in a shaking voice. With a sad look, Ryan Caulfield reached the Girls.

"Come on sweetie. We need to go." he said in a calm voice.

"NO! I want to stay with her! Please leave me here!" Max screamed to her father.

"You know that this is not possible. Now come please. You only make it harder for you two." Max's father said. She knows he was right. When he took her by her shoulder, Max pulled away from Chloe and followed her Dad.

With a broken Heart, Max took a seat in the car. As she looked out of the window, she saw Chloe's broken expression. As her father drove off, Max started to cry again. Why?! Why me? I hate my life. Hate this Day. She cried until she fell asleep. In her dream, she had seen the hole day, over and over again.

She woke up, only half an hour away from Seattle. Her Cloth soaked from cold sweat, Max felt disgusting. She doesn't say anything 'til they arrived at their new apartment. Tired of everything, Max climbed up the steps of the Apartment building. The first thing she has done was going to the Bathroom. Locking the Door behind her, Max started to cry again.

The day was taking its tribute to her. No more tears left, she stripped off her clothes and climbed into the shower. As the warm water hit her cold skin, a refreshing sensation crawled up Max's skin.

Fuck this day. And fuck this town. It ripped me from my everything. Max thought to herself. In deep pain, Max left the shower. After she rubbed herself dry, she got to her room.

"Max Please talk to us. We know this is hard for you, but you will find friends here too." Max's mother Vanessa said.

"You know nothing! Even if I find some so called Friends, no one will ever be a Chloe! I loved her and you ripped her away from me! Just leave me alone!" Max screamed at her Mother.

With that she entered her room and slammed the door. Just lying in her bed, Max just thought about Chloe. I haven't even told her how I feel about her. Good move Max she thought. She thought about them playing Pirates in their Tree House.

With that picture in her head, Max fell in a restless sleep.
