A/N

Hello everyone, I'm so sorry for not updating this story for a while. I started writing this story because I was stressed out; I didn't know people would actually like it. Anyways, between finals and my personal life, I haven't found the time to write. This chapter is absolute CRAP and short so I apologize for that, but I'll try to do better. I can't promise you updates often, and again I apologize. I am a full time student so it is difficult for me. Thanks for your reviews and support.

Breaking news. There are major traffic delays on I-5 due to a fatal accident caused by a wrong way driver. Officials responded to the scene at around 7:00 am today. A semi-truck driver was driving southbound in the northbound lanes and collided heads on with a Jeep. The driver and passenger in the Jeep, Vanessa and Ryan Caulfield, died on impact. The semi-truck driver was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

When she finally processed what she had just heard on the television, Chloe looked up just in time to see Max run out of the diner. Without giving a second thought, Chloe ran out of the diner after Max, only to find that she was long gone. I have to find her; this can't be happening. Not to Max. Rachel ran out of the diner after Chloe. "Hey what's up. What's wrong?" Rachel asked with concern. "Just get in the car. I have to find Max." Chloe responded. Though, Rachel was hesitant, she obliged. She couldn't figure out why that girl running out of the diner upset Chloe so much. Did Chloe know her or something?

Speeding down the streets of Arcadia Bay, Chloe was keeping an eye out for the brunette that just so happened to appear back in her life again. Where could she have gone off to so fast? Just then, a lightbulb went off in Chloe's head. She remembered that Max used to go to the lighthouse whenever she was feeling any type of negative emotion. Whether it was stress, anxiety, sadness, anger, etc., Max would most likely be found at the lighthouse. Rachel just sat in the passenger seat with a worried look on her face, trying not to blurt out something that would worry Chloe even more. Since Chloe ran out after the brunette, she assumed that she should also keep an eye out for her as well.

Chloe was thankful that Rachel wasn't trying to get any information out of her. All she was focused on was finding her Max. She finally pulled up to the trail of the lighthouse, got out of her truck, and started walking. Rachel followed suit. Come on Max. Please be here. God, or whoever was listening must've heard her plea because when she reached the bench, she found her unconscious. Shit. "MAX!" Chloe yelled, shaking the brunette to try to get her to wake. Please be okay, please. I can't lose you. Rachel ran by Chloe's side and watched at how Chloe broke down at the sight in front of her. Tears streamed down Chloe's face as she tried to wake the brunette. A few panic attacks and ignored pleas to call for help from Rachel, Max finally started to stir awake. Once Max caught a glimpse of the blue-haired girl, she jolted from the ground. Of course, she's not going to recognize you, dumbass.

"Calm down, Max. It's me, Chloe."

"Chloe?!" Max asked surprised. Chloe watched as Max surveyed her surroundings and focused on Rachel. "You live across the hall from me. Why are you both here? What happened?" Max questioned skeptically. Chloe looked at Rachel and then back at Max. She had no idea what to do. She was horrible with anything that had to do with showing emotions.

Rachel started, "Well, we saw you at the diner and then your friends came in and you just bolted out of there." Chloe could see that Rachel was trying to be mindful of Max's feelings by not telling the reason why she ran out of the diner.

Sudden realization washed over Max and she fell to her knees. She was trying so hard to not show her emotions. She looks so broken. Chloe immediately fell to Max's side and pulled her close. Why am I so worried about someone who left me for five years? Fuck it, I can deal with that bullshit later. She hella needs me right now. Max struggled against Chloe's grip until she finally broke down and cried. Chloe's heart broke to see her old friend like this. You need to put aside all of your baggage and just comfort Max. You know how it feels, she can't be alone right now. "I'm so sorry Max, I'm so sorry." Chloe whispered in Max's ear. Chloe looked up at Rachel with sad eyes and Rachel went over to comfort the brunette as well. This is not how I imagined our reunion to go.
