Rachel groaned loudly opening her eyes slowly. The room was spinning, and her head was feeling like it was going to explode. The blond threw herself around as she felt her stomach twist. Gasping for air as she felt her body trembled, trying to throw up the non-existent food in her system. The girl dropped to the floor exhausted closing her eyes. After ten minutes of just lying there, she tried for the second time to stand up. Her legs almost gave up under her losing her balance before catching herself on the wall with the left hand and lifting her right to her forehead. Her head was resting in her hand trying to cope with all that was going on.

"Come on Rach, you can do this. Just focus on what is going on right now. You can do this" Slowly lifting her head trying to look around she realized, she was in the junkyard. When did she get here? She threw a look at the broken mirror in the corner of the room. Her jacket was ripped and dirty and her blond hair was messy. Her green eyes looked tired and the usual fiery eyes were burnt out. The girl was just about to turn around when something caught her eyes. What was that lying in the corner? Rachel slowly walked towards the thing. It was a girl.

Rachel's mouth fell open when it all hit her. Someone tried to kidnap her! This girl saved her! She, she saved her?! Rachel had no idea how to react. This random stranger had somehow saved her from whoever tried to kidnap her and brought her to safety. How did this happen? Not that she wasn't forever grateful, but how? Rachel didn't have any more time to think about this before a low moan filled her ears. The blond slowly backed up looking at the girl in front of her.

"You okay over there?" Rachel slowly asked before offering a hand to the girl on the floor. The other girl looked at her suspiciously before taking the hand. Rachel slowly helped her up to her feet before getting a real good look at her.

"Thank you, Rachel" Rachel got thrown out of her thought when the girl started talking. How did this girl know her name? She had definitely not seen this girl before. Or at least not in real life.

"How do you know my name? Do I know you?" The blond asked slowly. The other girl seems to be a bit shocked by the question before shaking her head no. Rachel had no idea what was going on. She looked at the girl again tilting her head. She did actually look familiar. The girl had short brown hair and two ocean blue eyes that was impossible to miss. She had some small freckles on her nose and some bangs and a side part. She was really cute now that Rachel thought about it.

"Max?" Rachel didn't realize she had said that before it was too late. But it was, this was Max, Chloe's childhood best friend. But she was supposed to be in Seattle right now. How could she be here? Rachel walked fast forward to Max while Max desperately backed away before hitting the wall.

"Oh, my god, it is you!" She paused before continuing.

"You saved my life"

Max and Rachel were slowly walking back to Arcadia bay. While Max hadn't given Rachel any information on how she saved her life she had confirmed that she was the one that stopped it from happening. It was weird. This girl seems to know so much about her, but Rachel knew nothing about Max. After some convincing, the other girl had agreed to come home with her. For some mysterious reason, the school had gotten shut down temperately last week because of a weird crime or something meaning Rachel had no dorm to go to. Max had originally fought her, telling her she couldn't go home with Rachel, but after some serious talking and some Rachel Amber convincing she had agreed. Rachel had always been great at sweet-talking. She had originally planned to call Chloe, but because her phone was gone that was out of the picture.

Rachel could tell that Max was stressed. She didn't blame her. She had saved a girl from getting kidnapped and now this random stranger was dragging her home with her. The blond looked at the girl carefully. Max was walking with her head down and was playing with her hands. She had a gray hoodie on with a pink t-shirt underneath. The hoodie was ripped and dirty and really looked like it had gone through hella lot.

Rachel looked at her house before announcing "Welcome to Casa di Rachel." She ran slowly up the stairs before unlocking the door and opened it with a bow. She knew it was silly, but she wanted the girl to be more comfortable around her. Max smiled shyly before walking into the house. Rachel could tell Max was surprised by the view. Her house was pretty big after all. It wasn't modern, but it was home. With white clean walls and brown logs framing all the walls. Unlike Chloe's home, it was clean and organized. Everything had its place. From the carpet on the floor to the glasses in the cabinet.

Max was just standing in the middle of the hall when Rachel grabbed her arm and dragged her up the stairs. They walked into a new room. It had to be Rachel's bedroom. It was pretty small but cozy. It had a queen-sized bed with a "welcome to Hollywood" poster above it. Like the rest of the house the room it was organized, and it seems like all of Rachel's stuff had a place for everything. From the dreamcatcher hanging in the window. The fairy lights that were hanging from the ceiling. And the posters perfectly lined up. Even the cluttered dresser looked organized. Max's eyes fell on the pictures hanging on the fairy lights. It was Chloe and Rachel. Max remembered seeing the same picture at Chloe's. It was the picture that was used on the "missing" posters. At least she never had to see that poster again. Maybe she had done something right, for once.

"Here." Max's thoughts got interrupted when Rachel handed her a towel with a smile.

"I guess you would like to take a shower. You can use mine. It is just through that door on your right. And don't worry, I can use my parent's bathroom" She said with a wink.

Rachel looked after the other girl as she disappeared into her bathroom. Max was still a mystery to her. How did she get here? Why was she here in the first place? It was so many questions she wanted to ask, but she didn't want to scare her away. The blond let out a sight before walking over to her parent's bathroom grabbing a red towel on the way. She stripped down fast before slipping into the warm shower. Rachel let out a low moan as the water hit her. The girl was just standing there for a couple of minutes before starting to clean herself off. Her long blond hair got a nice clean and she already felt a lot better. Rachel walked out of the shower throwing a glans at herself in the mirror. She still looked tired, but at least she didn't look completely beaten up.

Rachel used her time in the bathroom blow-drying her hair and trying to make herself as presentable as possible. After that, she walked down the hall back to her room. Max wasn't finished yet, so Rachel had time to find some new clothes. She opened her dresser before carefully picking out a red flannel and a white top to go underneath. The girl had just slipped on her black pants and bra when she heard a small ahem.

"Do you have some…, um, clothes, I could borrow maybe?" Max was standing in her towel looking rather awkward. Rachel could not help herself when she caught herself checking the girl out. She was just so cute.

"Yes! Of course," Rachel shacked her head. "Of course, you had to check Max out. Really, Rachel, she is right there!" She opened her dresser again before pulling out a brown t-shirt and some black jeans.

"Seems like we are pretty much the same size." She gave Max the clothes and some a new pair of underwear. Max looked at the underwear carefully before taking them from Rachel carefully. Rachel was just about to put on her top when she heard someone yell

"RACHEL! RACHEL are you here?!" Both girls jumped around as Chloe stormed into the room before gasping loudly.

"Rachel?! MAX!" Chloe screamed before backing out of the room in disbelief.

"Wait for Chloe. It's not like you-" Rachel started reaching out after her fried but got rejected by the girl before she ran away.
