Hey Everyone! I'm back and decided to do one more life is strange story. This story will be pure PriceField this time. Sorry Ember you had your fame but now it's time for one of my favorite game pairings ever. This story will be kind of different but thats what i love to do. Mix things up a bit and keep it unique. Anyway hope you enjoy :)
Max's Pov- Life was going great. I was able to save Chloe and Arcadia. When i went back in the past for the final time i shouted at Nathan before he could kill Chloe. He turned around startled and shot me instead. Luckily it just grazed my arm and Chloe immediately helped me. After that Nathan ratted at out Jefferson and gave the story about Rachel. Chloe was so devastated but i was there for her. I even told her everything that her...other self and I have done and after showing her i had time powers she believed me and that brought us closer than ever. It was now mid December and Chloe and I just got together a week ago. I was so fucking happy. Until today..
I woke up this morning and immediately dashed out of my room and into the girls room almost knocking Taylor over and got to a toilet throwing my guts out. "Damn it just what i wanted before break."
"You ok Max?" Taylor asked concerned.
I liked Taylor when she wasn't around Victoria. "Yeah..just..a bug I think."
"Alright i'll leave you alone then hope you get better."
"Thanks. humff." Not a good way to start the weekend."
After emptying my stomach i slowly went back to my room and lied down on the bed groaning. "This sucks." I mumbled. Then i felt my phone vibrate and saw it was a message from Chloe which made me smile.
Chloe- Hey babe want to get breakfast?"
Max- I'd love to Che but i woke up with a bit of stomach flu :(
Chloe-Is Max in need of some Chloe lovin? It's the best medicine there is. AND NO EMOJI!
I smiled and chuckled. "She is such a dork. But she's my dork."
Max- I would really like that but i don't want to get you sick as well.
Chloe- To late i'm already on my way i'll pickup some soup for ya see you in a bit love ya.
Dog i love this girl so much. Always going out of her way for me. Although she is a bit more mushy and affectionate then the Chloe i spent that week with. But i suppose seeing me get shot and hearing everything i told her must have changed her in some way. But i don't mind one bit i kind of like this Chloe.
Max- Your the best Che i'll see you in a bit. I love you too
I closed my eyes and sighed contently trying to get some rest before Chloe gets here.
After what felt like a few minutes someone knocked on my door. "It's open." I said tiredly
The door open and the first thing i saw was a beanie and blue hair. "Hey there Maximus. How are you feeling?"
"Like my stomach just did a back flip and broke its back." I replied
She came over and kissed my forehead and handed me a styrofoam cup and spoon. "Here babe eat this. Its chicken noodle your favorite."
I sat up a bit and smiled. "Your the best Chloe."
She sat down next to me and put her arm around my shoulders. "You deserve the best and i'm hella glad i fit into that category."
"Alwyas." I opened up the cup and took a whiff.....
"Something wrong?"
I shook my head. N..no i'm fine..besides the stomach." I love this soup but for some reason it just...doesn't smell right to me. Whatever it's probably just part of the flu."
I started taking sips and it wasn't just the smell it didn't taste right to me either although there was nothing wrong with it. Weird
After i was done Chloe took the cup and spoon and threw them away for me. Chloe then went to my laptop and brought it over and laid it on her lap. "Since your not doing well how about we just chillax and watch some movies?"
I smiled and snuggled into her side. "That sounds pretty good right now. How about Blade Runner?"
She smiled and started up the laptop. "Blade Runner it is. And because your sick you might fall asleep before me this time."
I chuckled. "I doubt that Che."
She found the movie online and hit play. And Chloe was actually right for once i did fall asleep.
At around mid afternoon i felt totally fine. It must of been a quick bug. So me and Chloe decided to go to the Two Whales for dinner. "You sure your ok to be cruising around town?" Chloe asked as she drove us to the diner.
I nodded. "I'm fine Chloe honest."
"Alright a long as your sure Mad Max."
I leaned over in the seat and kissed her cheek. "Your so cute when your worried." I teased.
"Only when i'm worried about you babe." She teased back.
We finally made it to the diner and walked in and sat down at our usual booth. We saw Joyce come over. "Well hello you two. How are my two favorite girls doing?"
"I'm good. Had a bit of a bug this morning but i'm fine now and starving."
"Yeah Max hasn't had anything all day besides soup."
Joyce grimaced. "Sorry to hear that darlin. But glad your feeling better. Usual for you two?"
Chloe nodded. "Yup!"
"Actually Joyce with the waffle's can you bring some ketchup and some apples to?" I asked.
They both gave me a weird look and Joyce shrugged. "Alright but it better not be used for another food fight. The diner can't handle another one." She left to fill the order and Chloe still looked at me like i grew another head.
"What?"
She shook her head. "Nothing just...are you really going to eat those together?'
I will admit i was shocked myself when i ordered those extra condiments with my usual meal but for some bizarre reason i just had a craving for it. "I guess i'm just hardcore today."
Chloe laughed. "Hella hardcore."
A few minutes later Joyce brought us our meal. "Alright you two enjoy and it's on the house today."
"Thanks mom!" Chloe dug in.
But then stopped as she watched me cut up the apple into slice and put it onto the waffle and rolled it up like a hot dog and put ketchup on it and took a bite out of it. "This is better than i thought it would be."
After a few more bites i saw Chloe was still staring at me. I swallowed the last bite and asked. "What?'
She blinked a few times and said. "Sorry babe but...that just looks hella gross."
I glared at her. "Well no one asked you for your damn opinion!" Whoa Max where did that come from?"
She glared back. "What the fuck? I didn't mean it in a bad way. You don't have to yell at me."
I sighed trying to get calm. "I'm sorry Che i didn't mean to snap at you."
Her face soften and she grabbed my hand. "Apology accepted. Now lets finish dinner yeah?"
I smiled and nodded. "Yeah...I love you Chloe."
"Love you to Super Max.'
The rest of dinner went smoothly.
It's been a week and i'm still not better. Every morning i wake up sick. Then i feel fine through out the day. I eat strange food combo's and I've been snappy lately.
I decided to talk to Kate about this. I love Chloe but she's been worried about me this whole week i felt bad for that and didn't want to get her any more worried. I was in Kate's room having tea. "So you wanted to talk to me Max?"
I couldn't believe i couldn't drink Kate's wonderful tea. Again it just didn't...sit well with me. "Yeah I wanted your insight on something."
"Is there something wrong between you and Chloe?" She asked worryingly.
I smiled and shook my head. "No everything is awesome between me and Chloe."
She smiled. "Well that's good to hear."
Kate was the first to know of our relationship and she accepted it like it wasn't a big deal. Just what you would expect from the most kind hearted person in town. "Yeah but it's not us. It's me. I've been really sick these past few day's."
She nodded. "I know. You have the flu?"
"I...I don't think so. It's weird but as soon as morning passes i'm completely fine."
Kate took a sip before continuing. "Anything else weird lately?"
"Yeah. I've been eating some strange things lately mostly ketchup and apples I have no idea why."
Kate was silent for a moment and took another sip. "Max?...Have you been...well..Out of character as well?"
I nodded. "Once in a while i get snappy especially at Chloe for..being Chloe but I always apologize."
There was a dead silence. My eye's went wide as saucers. After saying all these problems out loud i think i realized what was wrong. How in the fuck could I have not read this situation!?
Kate scooted over next to me and put a hand on my shoulder. 'Max have you been."
I shook my head. "NO! God no! I'm still a..virgin. I swear and there is no way in hell i'd ever do that to Chloe. Ever!"
I started to hyperventilate. This wasn't real this just had to be a coincidence.
Kate rubbed my back. "Max calm down. Deep breath. In. And out."
After a few deep breaths i was able to speak again. "Kate..it's a mistake there's no way i can be..."
Kate hugged me. "It's alright. Your probably right but. How about we make sure just in case ok?'
"You mean...like a test?"
She nodded. "It's the only way to know."
I sighed and nodded. "Alright..will you come with me?"
She smiled. "Of course I will."
"Thanks Kate...your a great friend."
After going to the super market and picking up a few tests we found a gas station bathroom that i could use. I didn't want anyone from the dorm seeing me with these stupid things. Especially Victoria.
Kate stood outside the stall. "You ok Max?"
"I will be when i see the minus blue sign on these..how much longer?'
"ummmm...another two minutes."
I groaned. I just wanted this to be over with. I don't even know why i'm even here doing this. There is no possible way i could be.
"Ok Max they should be done."
I picked up the five strips i got and my heart completely sank. "So what do they say Max?"
...
"Max?...you Ok?"
...Kate."
"Oh my lord Max are you?"
I dropped all the strips that had a pink plus sign on them and i opened the stall door and fell onto Kate crying my eyes out. "Kate...how did this happen? I..oh god..Chloe..Chloe i'm so sorry."
Kate held me in her arms as i cried. "It's aright Max. We'll figure something out. Your not alone in this i promise."
I didn't respond to her words. I just kept crying. "How the fuck did this happen!? What am I going to do? My parents will kill me. And Chloe...Chloe will hate me..What do I do!? What did i do to deserve this?"
Iv'e been threatened with a knife, Shot, drugged, kidnapped. But i have never been more scared than i am right now.
