"Get that gun away from me, psycho!"
"No!", Max jumps out, as Chloe gets shot.
"Whoa! What the fuck?"
"Don't insult me Max. Go on.", Warren says, talking with Max.
"Tell me what you told them now!", Nathan threatens her.
"Hey Max, it's Nathan. I just want to say that I'm sorry...", Max hears Nathan's message while driving through Arcadia Bay.
"I can't make this choice, Chloe!"
"You are the only one who can. What ever you choose, I know you are making the right choice..."
Chapter 1
Max is tossing and turning nervously on her bed, almost trembling. "No... Not again...", she talks in her sleep. She is having a nightmare, like all these months.
Max is living once again the incident in the bathroom. This scene is present in every nightmare. Even she wanted to move, to go and stop Nathan, she couldn't. She was doomed to just stand there, watching in freak Chloe's murder. When it was all over, only then she was able to move and run to her friend. But, of course she couldn't do anything. Chloe was already dead.
Then everything becomes white. Max sees scenes unfold before her. She was seeing glimpses of the future.
Mysterious, black-suited men talking to students who are Vortex Club members.
Herself and Warren sneaking in a base-looking place and everything around them was frozen.
Max running along Warren and Chloe, being hunted by soldiers. What the heck was going on?
Finally, she was on the ground, crawling away from Nathan, who was aiming at her with a gun.
Everything turned white again. An alarm clock went off, waking her up.
"Whoah!", Max suddenly jumped up, looking around her. She was still in her dorm room. The brunett was still breathing fast, still in shock. "Wowser, that was intense", she mutered, getting up.
Max sat up on the edge of the bed and looked at the alarm clock. 9:30. She was late for lesson.
Max checked her phone. There was a text from Kate.
"Max, where are you? You're late!"
"I'm coming now. Thanks for the warning.", she texted back and got ready quickly.
Max ran in the halls of Blackwell, to get to the art classroom. She standed in front of the door and looked from the small window. Taking a deep breath, the brunett knocked the door and opened it.
The teacher and then the whole classroom looked at her. Mr. Morris, -the new art teacher after the arrest of Mark Jefferson- turned and frowned at Max.
"Ms. Caulfield. You are late. We are already in the middle of the lesson. This time I will allow you to attend the rest of it. Go and sit now.", he said and points at the back of the class.
Max walked there, looking down to the floor, feeling the glance of the others on her. She was feeling so embarrassed.
She put out her book and looked down at it, before turning at Kate. The girl turned at Max and smiled. The brunett smiled gently too and told thanks with her eyes.
The lesson went normally. It was simular to Mr. Jefferson's teaching. Max liked him more, when she didn't know about what he has done to all those poor girls, including Kate.
Some time later the bell rang and the students walked out. Max picked up her things and went to her friend.
"Hey Kate. Thanks.", Max told shyly.
"No problem. What happened?"
"It's nothing. I just.. Overslept. That's all.", she said, but it was obvious that there was something more than that.
"Hey, if you have anything, call me. You need someone to talk, because it seems that you are having difficult times after your friend passed away."
Max sighed. "Yeah. I miss Chloe so much. Nathan passed the border, but I don't think that he did it on purpose. I mean you saw his reaction to the police."
"You might be right, Max. Anyway, if you need help, I'm here for you. Like you were, after all this Vortex Club party fiasco."
"Ok, see you later, Kate.", the brunett said and walked out of the classroom.
