Caroline Channing and Max Black had been friends- and roommates- for a while. Whilst it wasn't a long time, they'd been through a rollercoaster ride together- but they were still learning.
Max, despite everything Caroline said, only got snippets of what it was like being a rich princess (she got a freaking horse for getting her period). And Caroline was too frightened to delve too deep into Max's dark past- she'd heard stories but didn't want to know details (she drank shots as a baby because her mother didn't like to drink alone).
Despite everything between the two girls, they were the most unlikely animal friendships and truly loved each other (although Max wouldn't say it).
But they were still learning. On occasion Max would burst out from her bedroom, thinking that Caroline was doings shots without her, mistaking her sex voice for her tequila voice. And some nights when Caroline would burst in without any warning at all, Max, on instinct, would pull the pillow knife.
But they worked well as a team, and could handle anything that life threw at them (and God knew that life threw them a lot.)
But they both had their secrets.
They just never thought their secrets would come back to get them.
