A/N: Well, here goes. Contains heart hurting moments!
Mark Jefferson was stood in front of what Max thought was the only exit of the room and had also locked the door behind himself but there was in fact an emergency exit at the other end of the long room. He was dressed in a ridiculous voodoo master costume, but had taken off the skull mask and was now holding it in his hand; Max noticed this because she scanned his hands to see if she could see any weapons. When she had only spotted the mask she relaxed only a little, knowing that he could have been hiding anything on his body.
Max backed up against the table, hissing a little when her tailbone hit against the corner of the wooden table. She looked back quickly before snapping her head straight back towards the psychotic man in front of her. Jefferson stood with a sinister grin on his face. He knew he wasn't going to have much time before someone came snooping.
"Hello Max…I hope you enjoyed the work of art that I created using your punk slut friend…or should I say girlfriend…" Jefferson spoke in a rather evil sounding tone of voice before his tone changed into a more poison laced tone when he said the word 'girlfriend'. "Just a pity that she is that much of a slut that she couldn't stop herself grinding all over guys out there…" Jefferson then hissed as he took a step closer to Max.
"Take another step and I'll scream…" Max threatened as she spotted the taller bearded man moving closer to her. Jefferson smirked at Max's threat, shaking his head a little as he laughed out a chuckle that said 'Wow, I'm so scared'. Max looked around herself quickly trying to find anything that would help her get away from this crazed lunatic.
"Oh max…I'm not here to hurt you…do you really think that I would be stupid enough to do something like that with such a large crowd of people in the room next to me…" Jefferson chuckled out, seeming to be quite amused with himself. He folded his arms across his chest and kept his gaze on Max.
"I'm here…as a warning…" Jefferson started, gesturing with his hand as he spoke, which made Max feel even more uneasy in case he pulled any weapons out. "My warning being…that you don't have much longer left to live…because I have to exact my revenge for you ruining my most prized photo shoot…" Jefferson hissed as his face turned into an evil glare towards the smaller brunette.
"Like I told you before…Eat shit and Die." Max barked out, knowing that she shouldn't antagonise the taller and rather frightening man in front of her, but she just couldn't stand back and act like a wimp when he had caused so much distress and hurt in her life already, even if she had only known him for a few weeks of her life.
Jefferson's glare on his face seemed to get even worse as she swooped forward quickly and grabbed Max by the neck, squeezing his large hand around her neck slightly. Max gasped and whimpered out as she felt the taller man's strong grip on her small slender neck. She could feel the tears beginning to well up in her eyes already.
"I'd be careful what you say or I'll just kill you now…I'm trying to be nice by giving you a warning before your death…also including a warning that no one will be able to stop me…" Jefferson spoke, his grip still tight around Max's neck but not tight enough to be properly strangling her. Max felt a few tears running down her face, the eyeliner that she had put on to finish off her costume running instantly as well.
"Now…" Jefferson started before heard a knock on the room door. Chloe had realized that her girlfriend had disappeared from the party, even if she had been dancing with other people, slightly tipsy from drinking, she eventually came out of her party crazed state and went looking for Max. She had grabbed a hold of Kristen and asked if she had seen where Max had gone, Kristen just pointing her towards the last place she had seen Max which was over by the entrance to the conference room.
Chloe was knocking on the door and trying to push down the handle now, calling Max's name over the loud music on her side of the door. Max heard her girlfriend's voice but couldn't call out to her due to Jefferson's hand on her neck. "Well as usual cut short…I'll be seeing you Max…" Jefferson hissed lowly out at Max before he dropped her from his grip and ran towards the fire exit at the other end of the room, shoving it open before running out of the building, the exit swinging closed again all while setting off an alarm in the building.
Chloe frowned and looked around the hall when she heard the alarm; the music going dead as every started to make their way to the nearest exit of the hall. Max regained her posture, rubbing her hand against her now quickly bruising neck. She frowned as she unlocked the door, bumping into Chloe as she went to walk out of the room.
Chloe felt the small brunette teen slam into her before noticing the look on Max's face and also noticing the fact that Max was rubbing at her neck. "What's wrong? What's happened?" Chloe asked concern laced through her tone of voice, the alcohol clearly not having much of an effect on her anymore.
Max glared at the tall blue haired teen, really pissed off at her right at this moment and time. "Like you care…why don't you just go grind against a couple of guys you have never meant before and get out of my way…" Max spat out at Chloe who was instantly taken aback at Max's words and also at the fact that Max stormed away from her in tears, holding onto her own neck.
"Max?!" Chloe called after Max as she took off into a slight jog after Max, following her out of the main entrance of the building to where everyone else was now gathering around to wait for the all clear to go back in to continue the party. Chloe kept following after Max through the crowd before she finally managed to get a grasp of Max's arm. She gently held onto the girl's arm and pulled her back to stop her moving forward any more.
"Max what the hell?!" Chloe exclaimed as Max turned to face her, tears streaming down her face. Chloe was slightly pissed at the way Max had spoken to her but still couldn't get rid of the slight concerned tone to her voice. Chloe glared down at the small brunette waiting on an answer from her.
"I saw you grinding all over those guys…like I didn't even exist!" Max shouted, which caused a few folk to turn their heads to see what all the commotion was all about. Chloe frowned before shaking her head at Max and letting out a slight laugh of disbelief. "You're kidding me…? You're pissed at me for dancing with some guys, but you abandon me for 5 years and expect me not to be pissed?!" Chloe retorted back, which caused Max's features to change from anger to guilt.
"I'm not familiar with this whole having a girlfriend thing! It's new to me…I'm used to getting attention from guys and girls at parties…" Chloe then continued her argument, seeming like she didn't care about how nasty she was sounding. "Now grow up! I'm allowed to dance and have fun at a party!" Chloe hissed towards Max before her eyes fell upon the smaller brunette's neck, since she had lowered her hand it revealed the quick forming bruise shaped like someone's fingers. Chloe's features changed from pure anger to concern and now guilt.
"Max what happened to your neck…?" Chloe then asked as she went to reach forward to put her hand onto Max's neck. Max pulled herself away from Chloe and shook her head. She pulled her cell phone out of her pocket and dialled her dad's cell number putting the phone to her ear. Chloe frowned, wondering what Max was doing. Max was still crying as she listened to her dad answer the phone.
"Can you come and get me please? I just want to come home…" Max cried down the phone, Chloe couldn't hear what Max's dad was saying on the other end of the phone. "I don't care she can do what she wants…" Max hissed down the phone, obviously talking about Chloe to her dad. Chloe frowned and sighed, knowing for a fact that she had fucked up but being her usual stubborn self and not admitting it.
"Fine, I'll tell her…see you soon dad…" Max sniffed out as she hung up the phone and slipped it back into her pocket. "If I'm going home, you've to go home too." Max said bluntly towards Chloe before she turned on her heels and headed over towards the side of the road to wait on her dad. She took her bandana off her head and gently tied it around her neck to hide the bruise shaped like Jefferson's fingers.
Chloe huffed and followed Max over to the side of the road, staying at least 10 steps away from Max as she folded her arms and leaned against the light post that was right beside her. Max rolled her eyes at how childish Chloe was being, while Chloe done the same, thinking that Max was the one being childish. But all Chloe could also think about was the bruise on Max's neck and wondering how she managed to get it.
The girls both stood in silence while they waited on Max's dad to pick them up; Max was still trying to fight back tears. This was their first argument since they became girlfriends and it was horrible. They had argued before as kids but those only lasted a few seconds before they hugged it out before going back to playing Pirate Adventures. Max spotted her dad's car pulling up before she stepped forward and pulled the passenger's side door open and slipped herself into the front seat beside her dad.
Chloe glared slightly before huffing and getting into the back seat of the car. She leaned her elbow against the door, resting her head in her hand. Ryan looked at his daughter and then looked into the back seat towards the blue haired teen sitting there, his eyebrow rose, wondering what had happened between them, but they were both young adults, he wasn't going to get involved in their affairs, unless he found it completely necessary. He never even thought twice about Max wearing her bandana on her neck, thinking that she tied it there because it was annoying her on her head or something.
Max sighed, staying completely silent the whole journey home. Chloe had sat flicking through her phone the rest of the journey, both girls being as stubborn as the other and neither of them wanting to sort this whole silly argument out. Well to Max she didn't find it silly since she had almost been strangled by a crazed psycho thanks to her girlfriend being too busy grinding on guys she barely knew, in Max's opinion anyway.
Max unclipped her seatbelt when the car came to a halt in the driveway of their home before getting out of the car and heading into the house. Vanessa had just walked into the hallway when she stepped through the door. "Why are you home so early, sweetheart?" Vanessa spoke, to which Max shrugged her shoulders and headed straight up the stairs.
Chloe followed Ryan into the house, staying completely silent as she closed the door behind them both and let her eyes follow Max as she headed up the stairs. She rolled her eyes and headed straight for the kitchen, kicking her boots off by the door beforehand. Vanessa frowned noticing the change in behaviour between the two girls and looked towards her husband who just shrugged and shook his head.
"Lovers tiff by the looks of it...leave them to it, they'll sort it…" Ryan spoke in a soft tone before he headed straight into the lounge to join David and Joyce who were sat watching TV. Joyce looked towards Ryan and raised her eyebrows slightly. "The girls okay? Why did they come home early?" She asked, sitting forward on the chair and looking towards the taller man.
"Looks like our little love birds have had a little argument…" Ryan said softly, looking at Joyce as he spoke, Joyce frowned at this statement before sighing and stand up off the chair she was sat in. "Where did Chloe go?" Joyce asked to which Ryan pointed towards the kitchen. Joyce nodded her head and went to go towards the kitchen. "I told Vanessa to leave them too it, but go right ahead, she is your daughter after all" Ryan spoke, to which Joyce nodded her head in agreement with him. "Do you want me to come along?" David asked to which Joyce shook her head. "That'll probably just make it worse…" Joyce admitted. David shrugged his shoulders and leaned back against his seat.
Joyce slowly made her way into the kitchen, spotting her daughter with her head in the fridge obviously looking for something to eat. Joyce cleared her throat to get Chloe's attention. The blue haired teen turned her head towards her mother before rolling her eyes and turning back towards the fridge.
"Yes, mother?" Chloe spat out in a sarcastic tone, lifting a small bowl of chocolate pudding out of the fridge, she kicked the fridge closed and took a spoon out of the cutlery drawer before leaning against the counter, looking towards her mother as she lifted a spoonful of the pudding to her mouth, her eyebrows raised as if to say 'What do you want?'.
"What's happened?" Joyce then said in a soft tone, really hoping that her daughter would actually speak to her for a change about her problems. Chloe sighed after swallowing a mouthful of pudding, putting the spoon into the bowl and almost tossing the bowl onto the counter. She raised her gaze to her mom and sighed loudly.
"Not really any of your business…" Chloe spat towards her mother, her eyes narrowing slightly as she looked towards the older blonde woman in front of her. Joyce shook her head and sighed, knowing that Chloe was just going to be as stubborn as ever. "Look, Chloe. I'm only trying to help...but if I find out you have hurt that girl's feelings, there will be hell to pay. Now if you have? Fix it...don't mess up something that was going good for you!" Joyce warned her daughter and that seemed to hit Chloe hard, her features changed to that of a guilty look.
Chloe frowned and lowered her gaze to the floor, trying to see things from Max's point of view. She remembered dancing with some dark haired jock type guy at the party while Max was talking to her friend Fernando, well that's who she thought it was since she hadn't actually met him. She had no intention of kissing or fucking the guy, she wouldn't do that to Max. She just wanted to have fun, but she then thought about it and realize what it must have looked like to Max.
She sighed and looked up at her mom, who was still standing in front of the kitchen door looking at her. "She may have seen me dancing with some dude at the party and took it that I was flirting with him…" Chloe admitted before groaning and pushing her bandana off her head, her blue hair falling down by her cheeks again. She now knew that she had fucked up and had no idea how to fix it.
"Christ Chloe…" Joyce spoke in a low disappointed voice before shaking her head and sighing. Chloe frowned and looked up at her mom, about to say something sarcastic before she caught herself and groaned again. "What do I do to fix it?" Chloe then asked, kind of surprised at herself for asking her mom for relationship advice which was something she had never ever done before. She just wanted to make things right with Max because after all she did love her.
Joyce took a breath and looked at her daughter with a surprised look on her face, just as surprised as Chloe at her asking for advice, maybe even a little more surprised. "Well have you tried apologizing? That usually helps…" Joyce spoke, sounding a little more sarcastic that she actually meant to which made Chloe shoot an ice cold glare in her direction. "I don't need sarcasm, mom...I get it, I've fucked up!" Chloe exclaimed going to storm past her mom but Joyce held her hand out and stopped Chloe from going any further.
"Sorry, darlin'...I didn't mean that to come out the way it did, but maybe if you apologize, Max might forgive you…" Joyce then spoke in a softer tone, to which Chloe sighed out in surrender. She nodded her head and looked towards her mom, looking like she was going to say something but instead she wrapped her arms around her mom, who stood in slight shock for a second before wrapping her own arms around her daughter, both of them hugging for at least a couple of seconds.
"Uhm...thanks mom…" Chloe then mumbled as she broke away from her and awkwardly shuffled out of the kitchen and headed towards the stairs. Joyce watched her daughter heading towards the stairs and smiled, loving the fact that her daughter finally gave her a hug after all the years of being rebellious towards her. Max definitely was a good change for Chloe and Joyce was glad for it.
Chloe made her way up the stairs, her nerves beginning to get the better of her as she came to a halt outside of Max's room door. She lifted her hand and moved it towards the handle of the door before dropping it again and turning away from the door, almost chickening out before she growled lowly in her throat at herself. Fuck, man the fuck up Chloe and go make things right with your girlfriend!
Chloe was mentally beating herself up before she took a huge breath and gently opened the door of Max's room, only ever so slightly so she could poke her head around to see exactly what Max was doing before she would even consider entering the room. When she could get a decent view of the room, she spotted Max curled up on the bed wearing a pair of PJ shorts and one of her shirts, which was a little too big for the smaller teen. She also had her earphones in obviously listening to music on her phone, so she hadn't heard her door opening.
Max had gotten herself changed the second she got into her room, putting on one of Chloe's shirts as comfort even though both of them had argued. She had been crying since she lay down on the bed too, listening to Lee DeWyze's "Live it up" album on Spotify. The song that was currently playing through Max's earphones was "Brooklyn Bridge", which was just reminding her even more of Chloe, mainly because it was love song. Max sighed, not noticing her room door opening.
Chloe gently closed the door behind herself so that she wouldn't startle Max before she tiptoed over to the side of the bed that Max's back was facing. She stood for a second, trying to figure out what the best way of doing this was before she gently made her way onto the bed and curled her body against Max from behind, wrapping her arms gently around her small frame. Max reached her hand up and took out the earphone that wasn't against the bed at this point.
"I'm sorry…" Chloe spoke softly, nuzzling her head against the back of Max's gently. Max sniffed slightly as she rubbed the back of her hand against her eyes to wipe away the tears that had freshly fallen. She turned her head slightly, not moving too much because Chloe's arms around her were actually a welcomed comfort.
"It's okay…I was being a child…I'm sorry…" Max spoke quietly, her voice just confirming that she had been crying for so long. Chloe reached her hand up and wiped away another fresh tear that had escaped Max's eye. Max closed her eyes at the feeling of Chloe's touch on her face, letting out a soft relieved sigh.
Chloe moved herself slightly and kept her left arm around Max as she leaned in and pressed her lips gently against Max's, giving her girlfriend a soft loving kiss which Max reciprocated instantly. "Don't be silly…I was a dick…" Chloe spoke when she pulled her lips away from Max's. Max smiled a little and sniffed again; glad she had stopped crying because her eyes were getting a little sore from rubbing them.
"Let's not make a habit of fighting please…?" Max asked with a rather cute pout appearing on her face as she asked. Chloe looked at her girlfriend's face and couldn't stop the small smile that appeared on her own face. God, why is my girlfriend so cute? Chloe thought to herself before she nodded her head and kissed Max again.
"That kiss is my promise…" Chloe then said as she grinned at her girlfriend. Max smiled before curling up again, pressing her body back against Chloe's as if to say; 'Spoon me please?' Chloe spooned the smaller teen instantly as if reading her girlfriend's mind. She kept her arms around her and lay behind her girlfriend, nuzzling her head against Max's neck.
When Max winced at her nuzzling her head against her neck, Chloe frowned a little remembering the bruise on her love's neck. She lifted herself a little and moved Max's hair away, getting a proper look at the now prominent hand shaped bruise. She glared at it, which made Max's eyes begin to fill up with tears again.
"Please tell me what happened?" Chloe then spoke as she gently ran her fingertips against the bruise. Max sat herself up and looked towards Chloe before looking down at her lap. "Jefferson was there tonight…" Max admitted, keeping her gaze down at her lap. Chloe instantly sat up and lifted Max's head so that she would look at her.
"He did this to you?!" Chloe hissed out, the anger prominent on her face, but it wasn't anger aimed at Max, it was aimed at that asshole Mark Jefferson. Chloe stood up from the bed and began to pace up and down beside the bed. Max watched her girlfriend as she paced, noticing the anger building in Chloe's body.
"There is nothing we can do now…" Max stated, which was true, they had no idea where he was, so there was nothing they could do to get revenge, for both of their sakes. Chloe growled slightly, stopping and looking down at the cast on her left hand. She then turned her attention back towards Max and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"He might get away with doing this and those to me…" She spoke, gesturing to her hand and her back. "But I'm not letting him get away with hurting you…he's gonna pay…fucking prick!" Chloe hissed out, looking away from Max as she cursed. She then reached over and took a hold of Max's hand, giving it a gentle squeeze.
"We'll need to tell our parents, they'll see that anyway and ask…" Chloe stated, to which Max nodded her head in understanding, even though she really didn't want to tell her parents anything else bad, especially after telling them that their daughter is basically a time traveller. She sighed and lifted herself off the bed, not even bothering about the fact that she was only wearing pj shorts and one of Chloe's shirts as she made her way over to the bedroom door, gesturing for Chloe to come with her.
Chloe got up and followed her girlfriend out of the room and down the stairs towards the lounge. Max cleared her throat from where she stood in the doorway of the lounge which made all the adults turn their heads towards her, spotting her with Chloe stood behind her. Instantly Ryan spotted the bruise on his daughter's neck due to the bandana not being there now and stood up, instantly thinking that it was Chloe that had done it to his daughter, thinking the worst. Joyce and David frowned as they looked towards the girl's also noticing the bruise on Max's neck.
"You better not have given her that!" Ryan started his voice resembling growl as he pointed at Chloe who backed up with her hands up defensively. Vanessa frowned at her husband, Joyce and David instantly springing up to their daughter and step-daughter's defence. David grabbed onto Ryan and pushed him back, glaring at him. "Chloe might be rebellious but she is not abusive! She wouldn't hurt Max!" David shouted angrily at Ryan. Joyce glared at him angrily as she moved to stand beside her daughter.
"DAD! It wasn't Chloe, fuck!" Max shouted, actually cursing in front of her parents, which took them both by surprise slightly. Ryan looked towards his daughter and frowned a little, his rage disappearing slightly. He moved over to Max to get a better look at her neck, noticing the size of it was too big to be made from Chloe's smaller hands.
"Apologize to her now!" Max hissed at her dad, glaring at him. Ryan looked towards the slightly scared looking blue haired teen that was stood with her arms folded over her chest. "I'm…I'm sorry Chloe…with you both arguing I assumed the worst…I'm sorry…" Ryan spoke with an apologetic tone.
"Damn right…don't come at me again dude, learn the facts first before accusing!" Chloe bitterly snapped towards Max's dad, glaring at him now even though she was still slightly scared. Joyce and David never bothered pulling her up for her attitude because they were slightly pissed off at Ryan as well. Vanessa had already stood during all the commotion.
"Let's just all of us calm down…" Vanessa spoke up, standing in between everyone. Max held her hand out to Chloe for her to move over to her. Chloe hesitated for a second, looking at Ryan before she reached over and took a hold of Max's hand and moved beside her, wrapping her arms around Max from behind to comfort her, even though she was still slightly afraid of Ryan's temper, even if he had apologized.
Max leaned back against Chloe, accepting the comfort as she looked towards all of the adults who seemed to be glaring silently at one another. Joyce looked to David before looking back towards Vanessa and Ryan. "I think we may have over stayed our welcome…" Joyce spoke as she looked towards Chloe for a second who frowned at her mother's words.
"No Joyce, Ryan was just being protective over Max…He didn't mean to scare Chloe…" Vanessa spoke, moving a little closer to Joyce and David. "No, it's fine…We'll go and chase up the housing department tomorrow, they said they had a few places nearby lined up for us to view anyway…We'll be gone soon, Chloe too…"
"WHAT?! Hell no! I'm not leaving Max…" Chloe snapped towards the adults. "Not when Jefferson is out there with his horrid strangling hands…" Chloe continued, the adults all turning towards Chloe and Max when they heard this. Max had lowered her head, realizing that Chloe wouldn't be staying with her forever, well not yet anyway.
"He did that…?" Ryan spoke, as he turned his attention to the girls his rage building again but this time aimed at the psycho that was out there wanting to hurt his daughter.
"That it, I've had enough; I'm going to the police…" Vanessa spoke up, going to move over towards the phone.
"Mom no…" Max spoke but her mom ignored her and dialled 911, before asking the operator for the police. Chloe held onto Max to stop her from moving, finally giving in to Jefferson's threat, knowing that there was nothing else they could do to stop him. Chloe hugged into the back of Max, her knees bent slightly so she could rest her head on Max's shoulder.
"Baby…let them call them…we'll be safe if we stick together, okay?" Chloe whispered into Max's ear, placing a gentle kiss onto her girlfriend's cheek, Joyce noticed this comforting move from her daughter and smiled, knowing just how much Chloe loved and cared for the smaller girl and it made Joyce glad that Chloe had been reunited with Max when she had been.
Max nodded her head and leaned into Chloe's touch, closing her eyes for a second as she heard her mother talking on the phone, asking for a couple of officers to come out to their house after explaining the main points of what was going on. Vanessa eventually hung up the phone and turned to everyone else, who stood in silence waiting for her to finish on the phone.
"They will be here soon…" Vanessa spoke, moving over to stand beside Ryan, who looked towards Joyce and David and flashed them an apologetic look. "You are all welcome here for as long as you need, I apologize for the way I just behaved, I would never hurt Chloe" Ryan explained, looking towards the other couple. Joyce and David both looking at each other before looking back towards Ryan and Vanessa.
"We'll stay until we are given a permanent place within the next month and then we'll be out of your hair, but we'll obviously stay in touch, I'm sure you'll hardly be rid of Chloe…as we will see Max all the time too…" Joyce spoke, changing the subject from the fact that the police were on their way to the house. Chloe's face changed to a sad look as she lowered her gaze, thinking that she probably wouldn't be getting to sleep in the same bed as Max every night soon until she heard her mother saying that the Caulfields would probably never be rid of Chloe, as well as the Price/Madsen family not being rid of Max either, which reassured Chloe that she could still spend every single night with Max no matter who's house they were in, which caused the blue haired teen to grin and place another kiss on Max's cheek, which made the smaller teen smile and look back at her girlfriend.
About an hour later
The police had arrived about ten minutes after Vanessa had gotten off the phone to them. They had written down every single detail of the whole Jefferson story from Max and Chloe who were interviewed in separate rooms, including some stuff about what he had done in Arcadia Bay, which obviously caused him to come after them in Seattle after surviving the storm.
The officers guided both Max and Chloe back into the lounge with all the adults after questioning both girls on their stories, also getting descriptions of Jefferson from both girls. They both stood in the hallway and conferred with one another about each story they got from each individual girl they had questioned before they walked into the lounge and stood in front of the girls who had now sat themselves down on the couch.
"So let me get this straight, he was drugging and photographing young girls in Arcadia Bay eventually got caught and arrested when you both tipped off Mr Madsen here…" The officer said, pointing towards Max and then David. "Then the tornado hit Arcadia Bay and he managed escape after surviving and followed you both to Seattle where he attacked you…" He said pointing to Chloe. "You're medical records should provide a full report of the injuries and then he confronted you at a Halloween party tonight and held you by the neck which caused the now obvious bruise on your neck…" The officer finished, speaking to both Chloe and Max.
Both girls nodded when appropriate before looking at one another and sighing slightly. They were both exhausted and had gone over the story several times, none of the story changing in the slightest every time they told it, but it was obvious the police just wanted to make sure they had every detail. The officers placed their hats back onto their head, happy with the fact that both girl's stories matched up, including their timelines of the stories as well.
"Okay Miss Caulfield, Miss Price…we'll have 24 hours surveillance on this house and also have police cars patrolling the area at all times, we'll also do a complete city wide search for Mark Jefferson, he won't be able to hide forever…" The other officer spoke as they both headed towards the door of the lounge. Max and Chloe nodded, watching Vanessa showing the officers out.
Max and Chloe both sighed and leaned back against the couch, both yawning to show that they were exhausted. Ryan, David, Joyce and Vanessa all looked at the girls with sympathetic looks on their faces. "Away to bed girls, get some rest, I'll even make you both Belgium waffles tomorrow for breakfast…" Joyce spoke in a soft tone towards the girls who both grinned and stood from the couch. Max gripped onto Chloe's hand and guided her to the stairs.
"Goodnight!" Both girls called out as they headed up the stairs and into Max's bedroom. Max was already ready for bed so she instantly got into the bed and got herself comfortable. Chloe stripped off her leather pants and t-shirt, dumping them on the floor by the bed before she pulled on a thinner pj t-shirt, wearing only that and her underwear she slipped herself under the covers with Max and cuddled up with her.
"Goodnight, baby" Max spoke in a sleepy tone of voice, yawning slightly as she spoke. Chloe reached up and pressed a gentle kiss onto Max's lips before resting her head down onto Max's chest again, yawning.
"Goodnight, SuperMax" Chloe yawned out as she began to doze off to sleep, Max falling asleep alongside her.
A/N: Well thank god for that! :D Hope you enjoyed guys! :D
