Chloe was in her room laying on her bed staring up at the ceiling with a cigarette in her mouth. Her eyes red and puffy from constant crying. It's been 4 days since Max's death. Nathan was arrested for 2 counts of murder. Yes 2.

Once David and the police started questioning him he broke down. He confessed that he was responsible for Rachel's disappearance she's been dead this whole time because of him and Mark Jefferson. Who mysteriously disappeared. Sick bastard was drugging female students to take photo's of them. Now that's 3 important people in her life dead who was next her mom?

Fuck Max why did you save me. me!? I'm just a dropout pot smoking miserable punk. You had a whole future ahead of you. Chloe couldn't cry anymore even if she wanted to. She heard a knock on the door.

Chloe honey its me. Chloe sighed and put her cigarette in the ashtray on her bed stand. What mom? Chloe asked in a dead tired voice.

Joyce opened the door and tentatively walked over and sat down next to her daughter. You should come down and get something to eat you haven't left your room in days.

I'm fine mom. I replied coldly. I dont need a damn babysitter. Joyce looked at her sadly. Ok honey, but at least get out of your room for a while it'll do you some good, i gotta get back to work will you be ok by yourself? Chloe didn't even look at her.

Yeah i'll be fine. Joyce just leaned over and gave her a kiss on the cheek. We'll get through this i promise your not alone. With that Joyce left for her late night shift. Chloe lit another cigarette.

I'm always alone, Dad died, Max moving away, mom working all the time, step douche hating my guts, Rachel's death then Max's...i got no one anymore. Chloe screamed in frustration as she grabbed her alarm clock and threw it at the wall in anger and grief.

Fuck! why! Max! your gone for all these years and you've been avoiding me for months after returning home then all of a sudden you sacrifice yourself for me! It should have been me instead!

She then grabbed her lamp and threw that next. It shattered all over the floor. Chloe took a few deep breaths to calm herself down the whispered. I just want to see you again Max...


Chloe was at the beach the sun was setting and she stood there watching the waves hit the sand, feeling the cool ocean breeze hitting her. She had a smoke in her mouth and a gun in her hand. I always remember coming here with Max when we were little.


-flashback- Chloe hurry up! Chloe ran after Max as they approached the beach. Slow down Maxaroni the beach isn't going anywhere! Max laughed which caused me to laugh. Finally we made it to the beach. We stood there looking at the beautiful ocean and i held her hand.

Its beautiful. Max said in awe. I coughed. Ahem. Max turned to me and chuckled. But no where near your beauty Chloe. I smirked. Got that right.

We sat down and enjoyed the comfortable silence. Till Max spoke. Hey Chloe. I looked over to her. Yes Mad Max? She had that mischievous smile on her face. I bet i can swim faster than you.

I smiled at her. Oh can you now? Are you challenging your captain? Max stood up and saluted her. Yes captain price. I laughed. Well then let's see what you got 1st mate.


- end of flashback- I dropped the cigarette in the sand and sighed. I'll see you again soon Max. Chloe slowly raised the gun to her head and pressed it to the side. She was about to pull the trigger when something caught her eye.

She looked up at the cliff where the lighthouse was and saw a figure standing at the very edge. Wait is that? Fuck she's going to jump! Chloe tucked the gun away and sprinted as fast as she could. Please dont jump please dont please dont jump!

It was a long jog and she was panting a sweating heavily by the time she reached the top. The figure was still standing there. Good just in time. Hey! I yelled. The person turned around startled. Who are...wait Chloe?

Chloe sighed. Your Kate Marsh right? I barely knew Kate we were in some classes together before i dropped out, she came from a very religious family not my cup of tea but she was one of the nicest people on the planet. Kate just ...

Chloe tentatively stepped forward. What the hella are you doing up here? Kate looked ashamed. I was..i was..i mean. I finished for her. You were going to jump weren't you? She just nodded sadly. Why? i asked.

Kate replied. Because my life is in ruins, i'm sure you saw that video me, ever since then i've been constantly bullied and my mom thinks i'm some kind of whore who disgraced our family..Max was my only friend even before the video, now she's..She started sobbing.

I frowned. I knew what video she was talking about, There was a party and Kate was very drunk and she started kissing almost everyone at the party while someone recorded the whole thing then posted it on the internet.

You knew Max? i asked. Kate nodded. She was very nice and supportive the only person i could rely on and talk to..now she's gone and im left all alone. I Spoke up. So you want to end it all by jumping? Kate looked up. Yes, i mean whats left for me? I literally have no one. Neither do i.

I knew Max to, she was my best friend for years..she died in my arms i couldn't save her i'm sorry. Kate wiped her eyes. A least she didnt die alone. I nodded sadly. I'm alone now to, just like you and. I pulled the gun out from the waist of my jeans. I was going to blow my brains out on the beach. She then threw it over the cliff. But i now know this isn't what Max would have wanted, she gave her life to save mine and i got to make her sacrifice mean something.

Chloe took a few more slow steps towards Kate and held out her hand. I know we dont know each other that well but you dont deserve this, i promise you if you take my hand and step away from the ledge i'll be there for you, you wont be alone anymore.

Kate gasped and looked like she was going to break down. Why?..why do you want to help me? Chloe replied. Because too many people in my life died already and i dont want to see you on that list.

Kate stood there for a few moments before she slowly reached out her hand and grabbed Chloe's Chloe gently pulled Kate to her and held her close as she cried. Im sorry im so sorry! I just held her. Its alright, just let it out. I couldn't help dad, Rachel or Max i won't let it happen again if Kate was important to Max then i'll be there for her. Now im not alone.
