Authors note:So this my first ever fanfic/story I have written so I am excited and nervous and please forgive any errors that acre. So I have been wanting to do this story for a long time but I couldn't get the courage to write until now. The farewell episode gave me the extra motivation do so since my only problem was the very end of it is and it starts off right after farewell so I hope you enjoy.

Max stared out of the back of the car until the cemetery was out of sight. She fell back into her seat not and curled up into a ball not wanting to look at her parents who ripped her away from Chloe on the day of her fathers funeral. She wanted to scream beg them to let her stay with Chloe, but she knew it was pointless her parents didn't listen or care the day William died why would they care now after his funeral. Max's mom Vanessa reached from the passenger seat of the car, and started rubbing her daughters knee. Max looked up at her mother eyes puffy and red from crying but it didn't hide the anger she was feeling to her parents.

"Max sweetie I'm sorry we have to leave the way we did, but the movers already got are thing t the house and both me and you father have to get your schedule from your school tomorrow, Your father and I got work the next day." Max moved her knee away from her moms hand and looked out the back of the car watching the building pass by. She didn't want hear what her mom had to say to her there no excuse to leave her best friend right after her dads funeral. Max's dad Ryan looked at her using the review mirror.

"Kiddo I know your upset at us but you can't just keep giving us the cold shoulder you need to talk to us." Ryan waited to see if his daughter would respond but when she didn't he took a deep breath. "Ok fine Max, but I am sorry it worked out this way." Ryan continued on driving for a few more minutes until he looked down at the dash bored and realized they are low on gas. Pulling over the nearest gas station he pulled next to the pump, shut the car off. "This will be the only stop until we get to Seattle Max so if you need to get food or use the restroom do it now." Ryan said with a bitter tone. Ryan and Vanessa exit the car and entered the gas station. When knew she was alone she leafed her head and looked around, she realized she was at the gas station that was across the street from The Two Wales Dinner and she instantly thought about all the times her and Chloe ate breakfast or played pirates behind the dinner.

The more she thought about Chloe the more guilty she felt about leaving and the best good bye she could do that stupid recording. "No I'm not going to leave Chloe like this." Max said out loud to her self. Quickly Max came up with a plan. She grabbed her backpack witch still had clothes from her last sleep over at Chloe's the day before Williams funeral the last one Max thought she'd ever have with Chloe. She then grab her pillow and blanket made it look like she was laying down sleeping. She quickly grab her mom note book that she kept in the car and wrote a quick note.Don't need anything, just want to be left alone. Max quickly got of the car with her back pack and darted for two wales to hide behind the building. As Max waited for her parents to leave she thought to her self. I'm sorry Mom and Dad but I have to be here for Chloe she's all that matters to me. Even if you can't see it that way. She stay hidden until she saw her parents enter the car after it was filled up with gas and proceed on to leave Arcadia Bay.

Max didn't know if the note would work she is normally silent without Chloe around her but recent events could have made her her parents suspicious of her behavior, luckily it didn't. It was after Max's parents left she saw something odd it was a wolf but seamed bigger than an average wolf and looked to be see threw. It seamed to be stairing right at her. Ok Max stop staring at the damn wolf you need to get to Chloe. Max thought to her self. With mind back to task on hand she made way to the Price house which was only a half mile walk from the dinner. Once the house came into view she could see Chloe and Joyce weren't home yet. Which was no problem knew where they kept a spare house key. Max dug up the that was to berried in the ground to the right of her. Once she was inside she closed the door behind her and locked back and went straight to Chloe's room to deal with the tape she made for her. Once she had the tape secured Max didn't know what she should do with it if it is even worth giving to Chloe, to her Chloe deserves more than just a single message. Max heard a car pull and car doors open and close. Max began to panic for she didn't know how Chloe would react and she dint want Joyce to know she was here yet because she would call her parents once she did. Max knew she needed to keep Joyce from knowing she was here or she would ruin the whole thing.

Once Max heard the house door open and then close her heart rate picked to the point she felt like here heart was going to burst. Max never heard a sound until the nob to Chloe bedroom started to turn. In came a very distressed Chloe looking at the floor with her eyes still streaming tears down her cheek. Once Chloe was fully in the room the door closed be hind her she felt some rap her arms around her. She soon realized it was Max hugging, Chloe quickly returned the hug squeezing Max like she would disrepair if she let her go.

Chloe broke the hug put her hands on Max's shoulders Chloe's voice still scratched tone from all the cryings she did but is didn't hide the joy from seeing her best friend. "What are you doing here Max I thought you were on on your way to Seattle."

Max looked up at Chloe as Max's eyes started to tear up again "Seattle can go fuck it self, because Chloe I'm not giving up on us Chloe and you need someone here with you and...and"

Chloe pulled Max in for another hug to let Max cry into her shirt and rub the back of head. "Shh shh Max it ok I should have known sorry I asked it was stupid of me to ask." Max continued to sob onto Chloe shirt "But do you want to know something Max Caulfield." Chloe said smile while looking down at at Max.

With a small sniffle coming from Max nose she looked up at Chloe and returned the smile "What Chloe Price."

Chloe patting Max head "You really are the best you know that."

Max let out a quiet laugh "of course I do Chloe it why I'm here."

"Good, now let hear about how you escaped your parents."

After Max got done telling Chloe about how she got here and what happened in the car after the funeral Chloe leaned back on her bed looked to the ceiling "So you don't want your parents to know your gone yet and you don't want my mom to know your here since she will call them immediately right?" Max shook her head ye Chloe shoot up "Ok then well I've got a plan to help with that just wait here." Chloe quickly left the room and returned a couple of minutes latter with some soda and a couple bags of chips. "Ok I brought drinks and food so if you get hungry or thirty you don't need to risk going to the kitchen and I disconnected are phone so your parents can't call." Max didn't think her deciding to stay with Chloe would make this happy she wasn't 100% but Max knowing she already made a difference gave her self of pride for sticking by her best friend side.

When night came along Max and Chloe changed into there sleep clothes and clime in Chloe's bed but things went a bit different Max felt Chloe arm wrap around her. Max started to blushing "Um… Chloe"

"Just making sure nothing going to happen to you Max" Max didn't know what it was but she felt safe with Chloe s arm Wrapped. Max just smiled and brought her hand up to Chloe's and held her hand not wanting to let go of her.

It was early in the morning when both Max and Chloe both woke up to the sound of someone bagging on the front on the Price house. "Uggg who bangs on someones door at this hour." Chloe complained right in Max's ear.

With a big yaw escaping Max's mouth "I don't know Chloe maybe they will go away." Wasn't to long Max and Chloe heard Joyce head down stairs and open the front door.

"Officer Berry what you doing here is everything ok." This caused Max and Chloe to shoot with both of there hearts started racing.

"Shit, shit." Chloe muttered under her breath. Chloe turned to Max "We need to go Max."

Chloe got up and with almost lighting speed put on jeans that she grabbed from her dresser. Max looked at her shocked to see Chloe panicking "Chloe we need to stay calm or they will get suspicious then we will get busted."

Then Chloe rushed over to Max grabbing Max's arms. "Max think if they come up here and see you they will send you back to your parents before we are ready with solid reason to keep you here." Max took a few seconds to think it over and came to the conclusion that Chloe was right and got quickly got dressed and threw stuff in her backpack. "Ok you ready Max?" Max gave Chloe a nod and floowed her to her bedroom window.

Chloe turned to Max "look in order to get out here without them seeing us we have to go out my window ok. Are sure you are ready?"

Max knew she had no choice it was climbing out the window or risk going back to Seattle and face the wraith of her parents. "Ok I'm ready Chloe."

Both girls climbed out of Chloe's window and made there way onto the front a voice from the cop car that was parked on the street called to them. "Hey you stay there." Then both girls panicked and ran with Chloe shouting to Max "We have to get to the bust stop Max."

Max and Chloe ran all the way to the bus stop that was by the dinner they saved some time cutting threw peoples yards but by the time they got there the cop that at the Price house garbed them and escorted them to the cop car. Once Max and Chloe in the back seat of the cop car the officer put his hand on top of the car and looked at Max and Chloe. The cop regretting what he just did "I'm sorry I had to grab you two like that are you ok your not injured are you." Max and Chloe decided to stay silent they were to upset to speak. The cop shut the door and made his way to the drivers seat.

Max began to sob into her hand "It ok Max it ok we still have a chance to stay here we just need to make them regret they tried to separate us."

Max faced Chloe and looked straight into Chloe's eyes "But what if they don't listen Chloe, what if they force us now to drop contact with each other now."

Chloe's garbed Max's chin "Well then." and in her best pirate voice "Then they will feel the wraith of Capitation Blue Beard for no one takes her first mate from her."

Max couldn't help but laugh at Chloe response for it brought a bit of joy to her. In Max's best pirate voice "The furry of Long Max Silver arr." Both girls let out a laugh .

"There you go Caulfield." Chloe said while lightly punching Max's shoulder.

With Max thanks returning the gesture ." Thanks and we are damn fine pirates aren't we"

Chloe wrapped her arm around Max "We sure are and together we can handle anything."

When Max and Chloe arrived back at the Price house they were escorted into the house but when the when they saw the cite of Joyce was not what they were expecting. She was seating on the couch face in her hand sobbing into them heavily. Chloe slowly walked up to her mom. "Mo...mom you ok?" Chloe asked with extreme concern for her mother .

Joyce looked up at her daughter and then turned to Max and got rushed over to and hugged her so tight max almost couldn't breath. "Ow thank geodes your alright Max and I'm so sorry sweetie."

Max didn't know what it was but something clicked in the back of her head. "Joyce what … please tell me your not saying…." Then Joyce broke the hug looked at Max face to face. All Max had to do was see it in her eyes to know the truth. Max fells to her knees with tears streaming down her face and voice already starting crack. "No..no...NO! It can't i..it can-" The pain full scream that came from Max was one that Chloe thought Max wasn't even capable of performing.

Chloe was quick to figure out what happened she rushed over to Max wrapping her arms around her and rubbing her back to calm her down. "I'm so sorry Max, I'm so sorry." Max continued to sob into Chloe's shoulders. "I'm here Max your not alone in this."When Chloe said this she knew it took on a double meaning but she would be damned if she let max deal with this alone.

When Max had come down enough she leafed her head off of Chloe's shoulders "Ho.. How did it happen?"

Officer Berry looked to Joyce how shook her head yes. "When they got to Seattle and realized you were gone, they tried to contact you but couldn't reach you so they called us to see if we can find you and were coming back down to come and get you but this morning at the bottom of a mountain they found the wreckage of there car. They were confirmed dead on the spot."

Max brook down once again plunging her face into Chloe, Chloe holding her so tight she felt like Chloe could keep the rest of the world from getting in.

It was only a few days after Max's parents death and Williams funeral. Joyce looked over to the young girls next to her she never thought she would have to see such broken faces on them such a short time span. Luckily for there sake Joyce was Max's legal guardian so she able to stay with her and Chloe. If there one thing Joyce is sure of is forcing to separate them now would have destroyed them both.

Max and Chloe were silent during the whole funeral nether knowing what to stay and the events that went this week made it even harder. Back in the car on there way back home Chloe whisper to Max "Max do yo remember what I said to you a few days ago."

sniffle coming from Max. "Ya I do you said (Your not alone in this) and same goes for you Chloe."

Chloe couldn't help but show a slight smile as tear ran down her face. Seeing that Max is still willing to stick by her when she is likely the reason her parents died. Took the pressure from the past events a bit easier to handle she could tell by Max slight smile to she was thinking of the same thing.

Authors Note: So ya I couldn't raciest on ending on a sad/depressing place the truth is I've planed it like this most of the idea I have for in this story I got in my head it just trying to write it down. But I will confirm two things that will happen later on in the story Pricefield of course, maybe something more and before the storm with a different Chloe and Max both being involved with Rachel and it will line up with before the storm date.

Depending how I fell about this will depend if I go ahead with the other story's I have planed.

for now the wait for the next chapter and I promise it will be more up lifting then is chapter
