Rachel: Hey Max, this is Rachel Amber
8:20 PM
Max: Oh, hi. Did Chloe give you my number?
Rachel: Yeah. I wanted to tell you thanks, for helping to convince Chloe to tell me the truth
Max: Oh, yeah, well, I didn't really convince her, I just talked her through it, and told her what I would do
Rachel: You're just being modest, thank you nonetheless.
Oh and thanks for getting your parents to take me and Chloe in for a week
Though I don't think we'll be able to take the offer now
Max: Haha yeah, I get that. It's no problem. You guys had a messed up weekend, that's for sure.
8:21 PM
Rachel: lol Yeah, you could say that again. But it wasn't all bad
Max: So I've been told :P
Rachel: Have you now?
I heard you also pushed Chloe to tell me how she feels about me, that day at the junkyard
Max: I might've given her a push, but she would've told you either way
Rachel: Oh quit being so modest, you were totally being her wingman.
Is there any dirty little secrets you can tell me about Chloe?
8:22 PM
Max: She absolutely hates being sent faces through text
Rachel: LOL. Like :) :P and shit?
Max: Yeah, drives her crazy
Rachel: Oooooh, thanks. I'm hella going to remember that
Max: She says she hates "sappy shit" but I think she actually likes it
Rachel: Oh, were you guys a thing before?
Max: Oh no no, we've just been friends. I just did something I had to apologize for and my apologizes can get a little "sappy" and she always says she hates sappy shit but feels better when I do it.
Rachel: Oh, what'd you have to apologize for?
If you're okay telling me
8:23 PM
Max: It's fine.
After her dad's crash my family had to move to Seattle, and I promised I'd keep in touch with her. But when I moved I didn't really keep the promise, and was pretty distant for 4 months.
She told me plenty of times that she forgives me but I still feel bad
8:24 PM
Rachel: Oh, well, when she told me about you she never mentioned that
So I think she really does forgive you
Max: That's reassuring to hear, thanks
8:25 PM
Rachel: Hey, I'm going to get some rest, still recovering from sunday, we'll text soon?
Max: Definitely, hope you recover quickly
Rachel: Thanks :) and thanks for the texting faces tip, I'll definitely use it
Max: Hahaha, oh she's going to kill me, and you're welcome.

Rachel: Hey Max, forgot to let you know, yesterday Chloe and I agreed that it's probably best we finish high school before we run away and kidnap you, for career reasons.
8:23 AM
Max: That's awfully responsible for something Chloe would agree to
Rachel: LOL
Chloe: I'll have you know, it was my idea in the first place Max, so suck it
8:24 AM
Rachel: That'll give us a year before you graduate for us to save up for a big move for the 3 of us, if you want to join us Max
Max: Definitely, where though?
Rachel: Well Chloe doesn't care where we go, and I wanted to go to LA for modeling, but it's still early, we could go anywhere
8:25 AM
Max: True, there's probably some good photography schools I could go to in Cali
Chloe: Right, and like Rachel said, I don't care where we go, just as long as it's with you two
Max: Look at Chloe getting all sappy in the morning
Rachel: You did say Chloe secretly love sappy shit
Chloe: Oh fuck off, the both of you
Max: Hahahaha
Rachel: LOL
8:26 AM
Max: But what do you actually want to do Chloe? After high school I mean
Chloe: I don't know, I'm pretty good at the sciences, and I did fix that truck up like a boss, so maybe I have some options, but a sleeve would probably limit my sciency options
Max: You're going to get a sleeve?
Chloe: Thinking about it
Max: Really going for that punk look uh Chloe
8:27 AM
Chloe: I think it suits me
Rachel: I think it's pretty hot
Chloe: Aww thanks babe
Max: Yuck
Chloe: LOL, aww does some PDA make little Maxine uncomfortable
Max: You're the worst
Chloe: That's right, I hate faces sent through text, Max hates being called Maxine (and PDA?) now we gotta figure out what ticks Rachel off
Rachel: Good luck finding out Chloe and Maxine ;)
Chloe: Groan
Max: Boo
4:45 PM
Max: I had an idea at school today, maybe my senior year I could try and get into Blackwell
Chloe: Oh my gosh, that's a great idea
Why only senior year though?
Max: I looked it up, their website, it said minors can live in the dorms only if their parents are in the Oregon for emergency purposes or something
Chloe: Damn, that's shitty
Wouldn't you still be a minor your senior year though?
Max: Yeah but only for like half a month, I think they would give me some leeway or something
Chloe: Hopefully
4:46 PM
Rachel: That sucks
Chloe: I remember a teacher mentioning that the school's putting more money into the arts, maybe they'll make a photography class, there are some camera nerds that come here
Max: That'll probably help convince my parents
Chloe: Speaking of, when do you think is the next time you can visit Max?
With the truck fixed you won't have to feel bad about getting Joyce to come get you. We can have a girls day at Oregon or whatever
4:47 PM
Max: That sounds great, uh idk, maybe when school ends so I could be there for more than a weekend
Rachel: Sounds hella great, can't wait to finally meet you Max
Max: Me neither, it'll be great
Chloe: I don't know how I feel about sharing
Rachel: Ooooh, is Chloe the jealous type?
Chloe: No
Max: Yes
Chloe: Hey! Screw you I am not
Rachel: Hahahaha
Max: You totally are
Chloe: I was starting to think that Max would be a third wheel the whole time, but the way you two team up on me maybe I'm the third wheel
Max: Oh shut up, you're being a baby
Rachel: Hahaha, omg. You're ridiculous
Chloe: See! Just like that
Rachel: LOL, I mean you guys are ridiculous
Plus if anyone is going to be a third wheel, it'll be me. Max has a few year head start on me with Chloe, and you guys have those amazing bracelets, I can't wait to see Max's
4:48 PM
Max: Oh please, Chloe doesn't have the patience for a long distant relationship
Rachel: That's probably true
Chloe: Refer to previous statements
Max: Hahahaha
Rachel: LOL

Chloe: Welp hell just froze over, the end is near
Rachel: ?
Max: Uh oh, what happened?
Chloe: David just purposed so to my mom (in the kitchen, oh how romantic) and she said yes. Then they both came over to me and hugged me, I need to shower the half David touched
Max: She said yes after what he made you do a few days ago?
Rachel: What did he make her do?
Chloe: Oh, I never updated you, we're on slightly better terms since he made me empty my pockets when I got suspended
Rachel: Oh my gosh he did that? What an asshole
Max: I know right, I can't believe that
Chloe: Yeah, well when I came home the day after that he tried to be nice to me and he apologized to me. (probably forced by my mom) After that he tried to connect with me about his dead friend, which, fine, A for effort, I guess
Max: Wow
Chloe: Yeah, he'll go back to being his asshole self when I don't salute him the next time I see him, fucker is still jobless too. Don't even know how he afforded the ring
Rachel: LOL Damn
Max: Ouch, that's pretty mean
Chloe: Yeah… it makes me feel better though

2:39 PM
Rachel: Hey, you wanna hang out at the lighthouse or something?
Chloe: Oooooh, like a date?
Rachel: lol. Well yeah… I just got home, but honestly I'd rather be anywhere else but here. And with you officially getting a step dad I thought you'd like to leave the house too
Chloe: Definitely, omw
Rachel: Thanks :)
Putting a black blazer over her shirt Chloe puts out her joint then walks over to her door to put on her boots to leave for Rachel's house. When she arrives at the Amber's house Rachel is already standing outside. "We both went with black uh?" Chloe says jokingly as Rachel enters the truck noticing Rachel's black jacket with the union jack on it over a black shirt.
"Oh my gosh turn back right now, we can't be seen wearing the same outfit" Rachel says mimicking a valley girl
"You're looking good" Chloe says after they both share a laugh "How's your arm?"
"Doctor said it'll heal perfectly fine, I'm only feeling a dull pain now really, I've got pain killers if it gets worse"
"Good to hear" Chloe says with a smile. "So why the lighthouse? The junkyard not romantic enough for you?"
"It's a nice day out, plus I wanna see the sunset over the water"
"Daaaaw what a perfect first date spot" Chloe says imitating baby speak
"Gosh you're hella dorky" Rachel says as they both laugh
"Speaking of… what do you think of Max? So far I mean, I know it's only been a few days and it's only been through text"
"I like her, she's pretty funny and seems genuinely sweet. I can see how she can be best friends with Chloe Price, and be worth keeping in touch with.
"Yeah, she… really helped me when my dad died. I can't wait for you two to meet for real though the three of us getting into trouble…"
"Yeah me neither"
"Well, the two of us getting into trouble and Max trying to babysit and clean up after us"
"Yeah, I get the vibe that she worries about you a lot, don't worry we'll convert her soon enough" Rachel says as they both laugh
Once they both reach the lighthouse they walk toward a bench overlooking the water and facing the sunset
"Thanks for taking me here, the sun set really is nice here" Rachel says as she takes a seat on the bench
"No problem, it really is pretty" Chloe says taking a seat next to Rachel with one leg off the bench and the other bent so she can wrap her hand around her knee as she is facing Rachel. "The sunset too" Chloe says with a grin
"Oh my gosh, I thought you hated sappy shit" Rachel says shoving Chloe a little as they both laugh.
"Rachel, turn around" Chloe says when she looks over Rachel's shoulder to see someone in a white dress approach with a flower. Holy shit it's Sera, she actually came to see Rachel
"Uh?" Rachel says as she turns around to see what Chloe just saw
Getting up from the bench and facing Sera and taking a quick look at Chloe she quickly walked over to Sera hugging her tightly with her face buried in her her shoulder.
"You came" Rachel said still hugging Sera
"It was Chloe… she convinced me" Sera said lifting her head up to smile at Chloe, still hugging Rachel tightly.

Rachel: omg Max, the greatest thing happened today
Max: Hmm?
Rachel: Sera, came and saw me
Max: Oh my gosh, really? That's amazing, what changed her mind? When Chloe told me what happened it sounded like she was forcing herself not to see you
Rachel: Yeah me too. Sera said Chloe changed her mind and decided to see me, even if it was only for this one time.
10:05 PM
Max: Oh, so she won't be visiting you or anything in the future?
Rachel: Yeah… I still don't really see why she can't be a part of my life, but I'm just happy I was able to meet her
Max: Yeah, so how'd it go? How'd she track you down?
Rachel: It went great, we mostly talked about me and what happened while I was growing up, what I wanted to do in the future. She didn't really want to talk about what she was doing, which is understandable. She did tell me about her tattoos, it amazes me what amazing stories and meanings can go behind them. I'm with Chloe, I think I want a tattoo now too. And she was able to track me down through Frank, I need to thank him one day he saved me and Chloe's asses a few times now.
10:06 PM
Max: Yeah I've been told, I hope when you guys "kidnap" me we won't get in as much trouble as you guys did
Rachel: Hahaha, trouble seems to find its way to us, sorry to break it to you, should've known what you were signing yourself up for
Max: I did with Chloe, but I was just expecting someone to help me babysit her, maybe tone her down a bit
10:07 PM
Chloe: Oh shut up, you love me how I am
Max: LOL, you got me there. I'm just a worrier
Chloe: You got that right, maybe with Rachel's help we can change that, get less Mama Max and more Mad Max

9:33 AM Group SMS
Max: Train just arrived, I'll be out in a few minutes
Chloe: Finally, we're out in the parking lot waiting for you, you remember what the truck looks like right?
Max: Of course I do
Leaving the train station and entering the parking lot, Max excitedly scans the parking lot looking for a old tan pickup truck, but her thoughts are interrupted by something jumping on her back and squeezing her
"It's Max fucking Caulfield" Chloe says filled with excitement as Max tries to keep her balance with Chloe on her back
"Yep, and it's you with the hug attacks, always trying to kill me" Max lets out as she lets Chloe down to face her and tries to bear hug her back "I've missed you" Max adds once she catches some air
"Missed you too" Chloe lets out as she is being bear hugged
"Where's Rachel?" Max ask as she releases Chloe
"Nearby, hopefully with the assault recorded"
"Got it all on camera" Rachel says happily as she approaches Max from behind with her phone in hand. Putting her phone in her pocket she spreads her arms open anticipating a hug from Max, which Max obliges when she turns around and sees Rachel right behind her.
"It's so nice to finally see you in person, you're somehow prettier in person" Max says hugging Rachel
"Aww, thanks, the same to you too" Rachel says as they both stop hugging
"Yeah, yeah, we can have a make out sesh' later. What do you have planned for our girls day in Portland Rach'?" Chloe asks still filled with excitement.
"Well, first I'm treating you girls to the Oaks Amusement Park" Rachel begins as they all start walking towards Chloe's truck. "A whopping half a dozen or so rides, overpriced carnival food and gimmicks, and, a roller rink"
"Oh woooow" Chloe says sarcastically as Max laughs
"Then we're gonna walk around some parks, which Max can photograph, then we're going to have a photoshoot"
"A photoshoot?" Max asks
"Yeah, you wanna be a photographer, I wanna be a model, maybe we can get eachother famous" Rachel replies
"Theeeeeeen, we're going to the mall to get Max something else other than blue jeans and short sleeve t-shirts" Chloe says mockingly
"Yeah, then we can do that" Rachel says with a laugh
"I like my blue jeans and t-shirt though" Max says beginning to pout
"Oh no, you aren't getting out of this, even I have a new style since you last saw me" Chloe says as she opens the driver side door and steps inside. "You two fight over who gets to sit in the middle, it doesn't have a seat belt there so I assume it's too scary for Max"
"You're the worst" Max says as she lets Rachel in first indicating that she won't be sitting in the middle
"Yeah but I'm right" Chloe replies teasingly "And we can't be doing anything sketchy, I don't have my licenses to if we get pulled over or anything we're going to be in hella trouble" Chloe adds once they're all in the truck
"Oh gosh, you're saying that now too?" Max asks mockingly
"Yep, only a matter of time before it spreads to you too Max" Rachel replies, laughing a little
Deciding to try and do everything they can they spend quite some time at the amusement park, ending their time there with a few laps at the roller rink, participating in the games that the park was hosting. After leaving the amusement park they decide a nearby flower garden will be a good place for Rachel's photo shoot as well as a nice place for Max to take some pictures of the scenery. Finding a patch of empty park ground Rachel names it the runway for the day. Rachel walked the "runway" imitating what she sees in movies as best she can with Max trying her best to take pictures as Rachel strikes poses. Even Chloe takes a few rounds on the "runway" only flipping off the camera most of the time. Happy with the photographs they took they head back to Chloe's truck to head to the mall. With Rachel's advice Max decided to buy a red flannel shirt with black skinny jeans. Thinking it was time she fully dye her hair while Max was here since she probably wasn't going to be able to visit for awhile, Chloe went to a hair salon to buy blue hair dye while Max and Rachel were buying clothes. Happy with their time spent in Portland the girls decide to head back to Arcadia.
"THAT'S your house? Damn, it's really nice" Max says as Chloe stops the truck outside a fancy looking house.
"Yeah… thanks, though recently it hasn't been so nice to be in"
"Oh right, sorry" Max says a little sad for bringing the subject up.
"Oh don't worry about it" Rachel says maintaining her happiness "Having you two makes being there much more bearable"
"Glad to hear it" Max says with happiness returning as she gets out of the truck to let Rachel out. "See you tomorrow when we dye Chloe's hair?"
"Definitely, then we can go to the junkyard and chill or whatever. Bye babe." Rachel says as she kisses Chloe before getting out of the truck "Bye Max, it was great getting to see you finally" Rachel says as she hugs Max who returns the hug.
"Bye Rachel, same to you" Max says releasing Rachel from the hug and getting back into the truck with Chloe.
"That was cute" Max says sheepishly after Chloe has been driving for a few moments
"What was? Oh, the kiss? Shut up" Chloe says blushing a little as she shoves Max's shoulder
"You guys are so cute together, I'm not cockblocking you or anything am I? I didn't see as much PDA as I expected"
"Oh I'd tell you if you were, but no, we're not really a PDA couple"
"Good, maybe it won't be so obvious that I'm third wheeling" Max says jokingly
"I know your not serious but I hope you don't feel that way, we're all besties and all that. How are you doing on changing that though? Any lucky boys back in Seattle? Or ladies" Chloe says with a smile raising her eyebrows up and down
"You're such a dork" Max says lightly slapping Chloe's shoulder. "No, there are no lucky boys or ladies in Seattle" Max replies with a smile and a blush
"There's a nerdy guy that goes to Blackwell, maybe I could hook you two up, or maybe Rachel knows some people too" Chloe suggests nonchalantly as she drives
"Eh… I'd only do a long distance relationship for the right person, plus I'm only here for a week. Gotta spend it with my besties" Max says happily
"Suit yourself" Chloe says as she shrugs "So, what's the plan tomorrow? We'll pick up Rachel and come back to my house to dye my hair, then head to the hideout after?"
"Sounds like it, we'll see if anything comes up, maybe Rachel will have a plan, but I'm fine with a day long lounging sesh' or whatever. I brought my table top set"
"Oh that's right, we can turn Rachel into a ultra nerd and make her play D&D with us tomorrow" Chloe says with a smile
"Sounds good to me" Max says also with a smile.
"Middle seat isn't scary anymore Max?" Rachel says with a grin as she enters the passenger side of the truck while Chloe laughs.
"You guys are the worst. No it's not scary anymore Rachel" Max replies playfully upset.
"Right, Chloe, I remembered to remind you that we need darts for the dart board at the shack" Rachel says after Chloe started driving.
"I bet Chloe already has a print out of David's face on it" Max states after laughing.
"I had the idea, but didn't want to waste the paper or ink printing out that asshole" Chloe says before they all begin to laugh. "Right so, darts and food, anything else for our girls day, any suggestions on the food?"
"Pizza?" Max suggest
"Pizza" Chloe and Rachel say in unison as a reply.
With their darts, pizza, and a liter bottle soda in hand the girls head to Chloe's house to start their day. Chloe has Rachel apply the dye to her hair as Max explains the basics of the tabletop game, setting a timer for when Chloe can wash her hair they begin playing and stop when it's time for Chloe to wash out her hair.
"So, we'll head out to the junkyard when we finish this thing?" Rachel says motioning at the tabletop game.
"Uh… you want to go to the junkyard some time tomorrow?" Max asks after a laugh
"No way, these things can last that long?" Rachel asks with surprise
"Yeah, they can last like, multiple days. Don't worry though, I have a stopping set up pretty soon"
"Damn, okay. Not gonna lie, this is probably the nerdiest thing I've ever done"
"Yeah, it's pretty up there on the nerd list"
"I'm having fun though, I'm loving the voices your giving the characters, they're really funny"
"Thanks, I think Chloe does them better, but she probably just doesn't want to embarrass herself"
"You know… Chloe always said you were shy, but you don't seem that shy"
"Yeah I'm less shy when I'm with friends" Max says with a smile
"I'm honored" Rachel replies with a smile
"Hey, you guys done making out? Can I come in" Chloe says from behind the door to her room.
"Yes, you can come in" Max says rolling her eyes
Chloe comes in with her green towel wrapped around her head covering her hair
"So, are you going to take it off?" Rachel asks happily as she gets up from the bed as Max does the same
"Chill girl, I'm trying to make it a reveal" Chloe replies as she bows to take the towel off her head. "Voilà"
"Wow, it's beautiful" Max says in awe as Chloe does a spin to show off all of her hair
"Yeah, what Max said, blue hella suits you, it came out amazingly"
"Aww, thanks guys, I really like it too" Chloe says before taking a few steps forward to receive a hug from both Rachel and Max. "So, finish up the game or head to the junkyard now?" Chloe ask after the hug ends
"Let's play until a stopping point" Rachel suggest
"Oh, having a good time pretending to be a wizard Rachel? We'll make a nerd out of you yet" Chloe replies with surprise
"Only if we can make Max a thrasher, I already got her the clothes" Rachel says with a smile
"Ready for the mosh pit, shaka brah" Max tries to say confidently.
"That's a long ways away" Chloe says as she and Rachel both laugh.
"Yikes" Rachel adds still laughing.
"You guys are jerks" Max says beginning to laugh as well.
Reaching Max's stopping point the girls grab what's left of their pizza and soda and head out to the junkyard
"Wow, I thought you would have forced Rachel to sign her name in here by now" Max says as she enters the shack, looking where she and Chloe signed the wall.
"Oh right, it never occurred to me. Here babe, you were here too" Chloe says handing Rachel a marker.
"I don't wanna encroach or anything, this is your guys hideout"
"Don't be silly Rachel, it's yours too" Max states happily
"Yeah, it's ours, come on don't be a baby" Chloe says teasingly
"I'm not being a baby"
"Then here…" Chloe grabs Rachel by the hand and pulls her to the wall, placing the marker in her hand. "Sign the wall" Chloe says as she pats Rachel on the back "Come on, you can do it"
"I will, shesh. Demanding this one" Rachel says to Max who laughs as she signs "Rachel was here" right under Max's name.
"There, now we're officially a trio" Max says with a smile.
"I'm afraid not for long" Chloe says after a pause. "Who gets the last slice of pizza?" Chloe says with the pizza box in hand with only one slice left.
"Our first obstacle as a trio, and a difficult one as well. Max states sarcastically
"Well, we did buy a new set of darts…"
"Great idea Rachel! We'll compete for the prize. First place gets the pizza and second place gets the last of the soda" Chloe says excitedly
"Agreed" Rachel says happily.
"Oh man, I don't think I've ever even thrown a dart" Max says
"Yeah, but who has? No one plays darts this is my first time" Chloe says as she writes "Chloe Max Rachel" in a column to make a scoreboard under the dart board.
"Same" Rachel adds
"Yeah, but I'll still end up getting last somehow"
"Only time will tell, we'll go in this order" Chloe says point to the scoreboard as she grabs the darts and begins her round.
"God damn, you're on fire Rachel" Chloe says with a hint of frustration as Rachel wins another game of darts.
"Yeah, give us a chance, I'm not even on the scoreboard!" Max says motioning at the makeshift scoreboard. Rachel has 3 tallies, Chloe has 1, and Max doesn't have any.
"Well we're playing for the last slice of pizza, I wasn't just gonna give that up" Rachel says in defence.
"Well I'd say you've earned it" Chloe says playfully, handing Rachel the last slice before taking a small bite out of it and mischievously smiling at Rachel.
"Now you just made it better" Rachel says returning the mischievous smile as she grabs the pizza and takes a bite out of it.
"You two are so cute" Max states as she takes a seat against one of the walls of the shack.
"We try to be" Chloe states happily
"Hey, did you ever tell Max we can get her in touch with some nerdy boys at Blackwell" Rachel asks
"I did, she said no. If she's going to do a long distance relationship it's gotta be mister right" Chloe says teasingly "Or miss right, she wasn't really decisive" Chloe adds teasingly with a mischievous grin.
"Oooooh" Rachel says excitedly putting her slice of pizza back in the box and sitting down next to Max "Are we curious Max?" Rachel asks happily.
"Yeah, is there any Seattle girls that have you questioning yourself?" Chloe asks still teasingly now with excitement as she also sits next to Max"
"I hate you guys" Max says smiling and beginning to blush "No, there aren't any girls like that, I never had a boyfriend or anything, I didn't even have my first kiss" Max says sheepishly as she can feel herself blush more.
"Oh no, we're going to have to change that today" Rachel says after a gasp
"Today?" Max asks still blushing
"Yes today, turn around and kiss Chloe" Rachel says excitedly
"What?" Max asks blushing even more
"Yeah, I dare you to kiss me Max" Chloe says smiling
"I... no, I'm not kissing you"
"Ouch" Chloe says sarcastically
"No! I don't mean it like that. I meant… you're… ugh, you guys are the worst" Max says as she covers her face out of embarrassment.
"Aww, it's okay Max" Chloe says wrapping her arms around Max to hug her. "It's okay you don't want to kiss me"
"I really do hate you" Max says laughing, still covering her face, and Chloe only hugs her tighter.
"We're only teasing you Max, we're sorry" Rachel says also hugging Max "Well I am at least" Rachel adds after she looked up at Chloe who seemed to be enjoying herself.
"You are so adorable when you get flustered" Chloe says when Max finally uncovers her face
"You really are the worst, you know" Max says trying to hide her smile, Chloe just smiles back in reply.
"One on one for the last of the soda?" Chloe asks happily
"You're on" Max replies her blush finally going away.
A/N: Sorry for the longer wait on this, I fell out of my routine for a bit and got stuck in a few places. Also Hawaii (where I live) had a false missile warning so that had me worried for a bit. Anyway, hopefully the longer chapter makes up for the wait. But as always thanks for reading and any sort of comments/reviews are appreciated and won't go unnoticed by me. I wanted to know how you guys found this story, almost all the fanfiction I read is suggested by Reddit/Discord post, but I'm just curious how other people find stories.
