The world seemed to sting as blood began to drip from her nose as the sun was setting "The date" Max shouted as she picked up her phone the date read March 27 as she jumped with glee quickly entering Chloe's number. She sat for a full five minutes before the other end picked up "Chloe, listen to me" she shouted before the other party could say a word "You have to convince Amber not to go with Nathan" she pleaded as Chloe shouted to finally get a word in.

"Okay, first off Max is that you" Chloe asked as she looked at her phone "How do you know Amber" she scoffed placing the phone back to her ear.

"Okay, about to sound hella stupid, but I came from the future, she disappears tomorrow you can't let that happen" she shouted as the sun finished its descent with the moon shining at her back "Promise me" she shouted at her phone.

"Alright, I promise" Chloe responded as she looked over at the blonde hair woman beside her before the phone beeped. "Hey, you think we could chill here tomorrow" She asked as she sat her phone down on the table

"Uh why" Amber asked as rotated herself in her chair to face the blue haired woman "you thinking of Monopolizing me" she responded giving a playful look as Chloe began to blush her cheeks now a light red. "Oh, alright we can chill" she asked as she through her beer out of the small shack.

"Thanks" Chloe whispered as she picked up her phone the moon shined though the small windows. "I want too" she spoke up again drawing Amber's attention.

"What now" she asked as she sat the cigarette in the tray.

"I want to . . ." she stopped as she grabbed a beer from the table quickly chugging it before she shouted "I want to monopolize you" she shouted as she rubbed her face the twitchy feeling growing in her spine.

"Alright, but don't go trying to pin me in" Amber answered as she began to puff on her cigarette again.

The room was quiet as she felt herself settle back to into the world as she quickly jumped looking at the pictures that mow littered the wall "Did she do it" Max asked as she looked at the wall the photos seemed to change as her eyes found it a picture with Amber, Chloe and Herself all posed in the same photo, with a strange laugh she plopped down on her bed the slight crunch sent her jumping quickly looking around the bed as her eyes caught a slightly crumpled Polaroid the picture showed Kate and herself at the Hospital. "So even after I tried so hard it still happened, great" she whispered as her phone rang "Kate" she asked looking puzzled as she held the phone up too her ear "what's up" she asked as she looked out at the dark sky.

"Can you come to my room" she asked as she curled up under her cover the room was dark with the window covered the usual campus lanterns couldn't penetrate the thick curtain.

"Sure give me a minute" Max answered as she the phone beeped. "Okay, well guess I should go" she mentioned as she walked out of her room turning to lock the door behind her smiling as she set off down the hall. The white bored outside her room was blank taking the opportunity to right a verse she heard when she was a kid before she knocked

"Come in" the voice tried to shout as the door was opened "Hey Max' she greeted as max walked over to the bed. "I need your help Max" she whispered as her eyes loomed to the floor "I can't change this, I can't even hide it" she continued as Max just looked on "I fell in love, but I want to ask you, since you've been a good friend" Kate sniffled as she rubbed her nose. The bed groaned as she shifted over to allow Max to move next to her the two sat in silence until Max's phone rang the caller Id was unknown.

"Who can this be" she whispered as she looked at Kate who looked back at her giving her a nod to take the call.

"So you did follow my instructions" the voice commented as Max stood from the bed.

"The letter" Max shouted quickly stepping farther from her friend.

"Yes that was me, don't worry I'm not chastising you" he confirmed as he leaned against the dorm plaque "now, I know your next thought is going to lead you off to save miss Marsh" he chided as he crossed his arms.

"Of course, she's my friend" Max whispered as she looked back at Kate.

"Max, I warn you about skipping around making time your jungle gym" he spoke up "The Tornado can still happen" he warned as he knelt down to pick up the small bottle "every time you rewind time you cause another universe to lapse into this one, there can't be two of the same universe" he joked.

"So I save Rachel, but Kate has to get hurt" she asked her anger rising inch by inch.

"Unfortunately, look at it like this you stop to help everyone the Universe will hurt more" the figure waved his hand back and forth "Nathan and Jefferson will be arrested tomorrow, curtsy of David Madson, and some awkward trail of evidence" the campus was dark with nothing but the chirping of crickets "Alright, and take the day tomorrow your friend is going to need you, Speaking of turn your phone off after this" he finished as he ended the call.

"Jerk" she sighed as a text popped up the sender was the same person "Learn from the past, live in the present and look to the future miss Maxine Marsh, love Nyx" she read as she saved the number to her phone book "Sorry Kate" she grimaced.

"That your boyfriend" Kate asked looking down her knees.

"No way" Max giggled as she looked at her phone before turning it off "So who did you fall for" she chided as she walked back to the bed before the message ran through her mind again "Maxine Marsh" She whispered as she looked over at Kate who seemed to notice.

"I Knew you'd figure it out Max" she smiled.

"Well not without some help" she whispered as her mind treaded through the thoughts of Kate and what she had gone through to save her "you know what" she shouted looking over into Kate's eyes "why not" Max shouted once again before she cusped Kate's face her palms cradling Kate's chin before she leaned closer stopping inches from meeting Kate's lips the feeling grew in her chest as he palms grew warmer as she began running through different thoughts before her phone vibrated her eyes darted to the top where the message from Nyx read out "Just do it" the strange message seemed to give her enough strength as she pressed forward their lips now smashed together with Kate seemingly calm and Max embarrassed the kiss seemed to continue on for a minute before Kate pulled back "sorry" she quipped as she raised her phone.

"We will meet again soon" the next message read.

"How did you know I was going to kiss her" she typed back the room was quiet as Kate sat waiting for Max to finish.

"Tell you what, you tell me how you can reverse time and I'll tell you" the message finished as the irritation grew in Max before she threw her phone into the corner.

"Is everything ok, Max" Kate asked as she stood up straight "Is it Warren" she asked as the Max began to stare back at here the bed began to creak as Max raised up on her knees.

"We deserve a break" she shouted jumping off the bed grasping the cover.

"I guess" Kate whispered back before Max jumped back onto the bed.

-
As the sun shined through the blackened windows the two laid fast asleep, with Kate resting her head on Max's chest the room was cold and dead silent until the bell from the school rang echoing across the campus. Slowly the hall grew louder as it filled with students jarring Max from her sleep "I can't believe it" the voice drew her attention enough to draw her from the bed "Nyx" was the last thing she heard before she opened the door "so that's where you been" Victoria asked slowly making her way over "Did you have something to do with it" she accused raising a finger to Max's face.

"No, what happened" Max asked as the other girls began to gather around.

"Mr. Jefferson was arrested, so was Nathan" She responded angrily.

"I've been here with Kate, what was that about Nyx" Max asked slowly leaning on the door.

"An hour after they where carted away he was introduced to the class he asked us to call him Nyx kind of creepy" Brooke shouted as Max looked over at her phone.

"It is creepy" Max agreed as the other thinned out going back to their own rooms.
