A/N: Sorry it's taking me so long to update guys, I've had a lot going on at the moment, but I will do my best to continue to update as often as possible! This chapter isn't a long as some of the previous ones but here you go!
10th March 2014It was 11pm. Max had finally received her letters and forms from Seattle U a few days previously and her filled them all in and sent them back. She had chosen her meal plan and had also been granted the permission to have a dorm room just to herself, which was a relief. Yes she wanted to come out of her shell a little more in university and meet new friends, but she wasn't ready to share a room with someone that wasn't Chloe.
Max was currently in Chloe's bedroom, reclining on the blue haired teen's brand new and very comfortable bed. She had her left leg sitting on top of her right leg, slightly crossed and her hands clasped on her stomach. Her head was nuzzled against one of the duck feather pillows at the head of the bed. She was wearing her pjs with the three little chicks on the t-shirt but she hadn't taken her necklace off just yet. She lifted her hand and started to fiddle around with the single dog tag on her necklace. The small brunette let her lips curl into a smile as she remembered the look on Chloe's face when she gave her the other dog tag that matched hers.
Max closed her eyes as she relaxed against the bed. Chloe was currently in the shower. She had left Max to get comfortable while she went to get herself clean. She had been helping David work on his car in the garage earlier that evening, which felt odd to the older teen. She and David had actually managed to get along for the day and not once did they say a hostile thing to each other.
Chloe finally stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around her body. She left the bathroom still wrapped in the towel and puttered down the hallway to her bedroom. Joyce came out of her bedroom just before Chloe reached her bedroom door. "Chloe, what have I told you about walking around in just a towel when you know David could be wandering around?" Joyce warned her daughter. Chloe stopped dead in her tracks and spun around to face her mother.
"Mom…It's not like he's going to see anything, fuck sake…" Chloe retaliated, but muttered the 'fuck sake' at the end of her sentence. Joyce folded her arms over her chest and sighed at her daughter's reply. "Just get into your room before he comes upstairs!" Joyce spoke, her southern accent seeming to make her tone of voice sound just a little more stern. Chloe sighed and rolled her eyes as she turned on her heels and opened her bedroom door.
It was only then that Joyce actually realized that her daughter would be dropping that towel in front of Max but before she got the chance to say anything Chloe had closed her bedroom door. Joyce closed her mouth and sighed, pushing out the thoughts of her daughter Max doing anything inappropriate in her household. Chloe looked over towards the bed where Max was lying almost half asleep.
"Tired Super Max?" Chloe asked as she walked over to her mirror and grabbed her hair brush, dragging the bristles through her very faded blue hair. Max heard Chloe's question and reluctantly lifted herself up into a sitting position. "A little…but I'm determined to stay awake" Max admitted as she lifted her hands and rubbed her eyes before she stretched her arms out and allowed herself to yawn. Chloe looked over towards her sleepy girlfriend and smiled. "Why are you determined to stay awake?" Chloe asked as she let her towel drop. She walked over to her drawers and grabbed a pair of boy pants and a t-shirt putting them both on.
Max raised her eyebrow at Chloe's question looking at her as if to say 'Are you cereal?'. Max sat silent for a few seconds before actually just voiced her thoughts. "Are you cereal? Did you really just ask that?" Max asked with a surprised tone of voice. Chloe raised her eyebrows and let out a slightly laugh at the look on her girlfriend's face. "I want to be the first to wish you a Happy Birthday and give you a specially birthday kiss…" Max said with a cute pout on her face.
Chloe listened to her girlfriend's explanation before smiling widely at the cute pout on Max's face. "I know, I just wanted to see that cute pout again!" Chloe admitted, this was the third time that Chloe had asked Max why she had wanted to stay away until after midnight so she knew what the answer was. Max smiled and yawned, lying down again to get herself comfortable.
Chloe smiled as she watched Max getting herself comfortable again. Fuck, she is hella adorable. What did I do to deserve her in my life? Chloe thought to herself. She eventually made herself drag her gaze away from her resting girlfriend and made her way back over towards the mirror. She lifted her hairdryer and began to quickly blow dry her hair. It didn't take long for her hair dry off, seeing as it was still pretty short. She put the hairdryer down and quickly brushed her hair so that it was sitting right before she spun around on her heels to face the bed.
She couldn't stop the smirk that formed on her face when she spotted that Max had dozed off to sleep. She let out a slight chuckle as she strutted her way over to the bed and flopped herself down on her side. Max jumped awake and let out a surprised gasp when she felt the bed being jostled. "I'm awake!" Max explained, looking around herself before she let her eyes fall upon Chloe beside her.
Chloe smirked towards her sleep dazed girlfriend and let out a laugh. "Of course you are, nerd" Chloe started, the smirk staying fixed on her features. "Babe, you're tired, go to sleep, you can wish me Happy Birthday in the morning and give me that special birthday kiss then too" Chloe explained in a soft tone, shuffling over a little closer to Max. Max shook her head and sat herself up slightly. "No, I'm okay, I want to stay awake" The small tired brunette mumbled through a fought back yawn.
Chloe sighed but nodded her head and grabbed hold of her TV remote. She was tired but she wasn't one for giving into sleep so easily. She turned on her TV and leaned back against the headboard of the bed, flicking through the various TV channels. Max wriggled herself closer to Chloe and nuzzled her head against her love's chest. She then draped her arm over Chloe's lower torso.
Chloe smiled and welcomed the nuzzling teen into her arms, wrapping her left arm around Max's body, holding her close to her. She finally settled on watching an old episode of Celebrity Deathmatch that was currently on. She placed the TV remote down onto the bedside table and lifted the opened bottle of water sitting on it. She took a huge gulp of the water before placing it back down again.
She took a quick glance at the alarm clock sitting on the bedside table and noticed it was now 11:45pm. In another fifteen minutes she would be 20 years old. "It sucks thinking that I'm not going to be a teenager anymore in the next fifteen minutes…" Chloe spoke in a soft tone so she didn't startle Max. Max lifted her head and looked up at her blue haired love and smiled. "I'll still love you...even if you are getting old" Max joked with a cheeky grin on her face.
Chloe laughed, it was a mix between a genuine laugh and a sarcastic one. "Very funny hippie…" Chloe started before she smiled and placed a gentle kiss onto the top of Max's head. "and I love you too…" Chloe then added with a loving smile on her face. She let out a soft sigh and leaned her head back against the headboard. "Plus don't think about the fact that you are getting old, think about the fact that I am taking you out to spoil you and treat you like a queen for the day" Max then spoke up.
Max had planned a huge day trip for them both to go for breakfast, lunch and dinner and also go shopping and do little fun activities in between, all for Chloe's birthday. She planned all this mainly because she had missed the last five of Chloe's birthdays and she wanted to make up for that. "You don't have to take me out to spoil me…" Chloe started as she let a mischievous smirk appear on her face. "Just give me multiple orgasms throughout the day and I'll be happy" Chloe finished, the smirk still on her face before she let out an amused laugh when she saw the shocked look on Max's face.
"Chloe Elizabeth Price!" Max started with a shocked tone. "What makes you think I won't be giving you multiple orgasms as well as a day out?" Max then unexpectedly answered which made Chloe raise her eyebrows, taken back a little by Max's unexpected answer. Max laughed at the look on Chloe's face but smirked cheekily as she nuzzled her head back against Chloe's chest.
"Cat got your tongue now?" Max asked with grin on her face. She never lifted her head but she knew Chloe still had the shocked look on her face. "Wait...are you suggesting public sex, Caulfield?" Chloe then asked, her tone of voice sounding shocked and a little confused. Max then laughed and lifted her head, shaking it slightly. "No you Doofus! that's one sure way to get us arrested!" Max exclaimed before she let her features change into a mischievous look. "Although with rewind powers we could...and avoid getting caught…" Max then added, keeping the mischievous look on her face.
Chloe allowed a smirk to curl onto her lips at what Max was saying. "I'm definitely a good bad influence on you Max…" Chloe spoke with a cheeky grin on her face. Chloe then turned her head to look at the alarm clock again; it was now 11:59pm. She only had one minute left of her teenage years. She sighed and looked back towards Max, pouting her bottom lip out slightly.
Max laughed and leaned up placing a gentle kiss onto the blue haired teens lips. She then looked towards the clock and grinned when she spotted that it had now struck midnight. "Happy Birthday, Baby!" Max exclaimed with a huge grin on her face before she leaned herself up and pressed her lips to Chloe's once again, but this time she actually started to kiss Chloe properly.
She shifted slightly so that she could be comfortable while kissing Chloe. Both girls kissed for what felt to them like a couple of seconds but was actually over a minute before Max pulled back and looked towards the now flustered teen beside her. Chloe grinned once their lips had parted. "Now I could get used to that on my birthday…" Chloe admitted, the grin staying on her face. Max laughed and placed another small kiss onto Chloe's lips before cuddling into her girlfriend.
"Now! Sleep time we have a long day ahead of us once we wake up!" Max exclaimed as she snuggled up closer to Chloe who held her close and got herself comfortable enough so she too could go to sleep. Chloe placed a gentle kiss onto the top of Max's head once they were both comfortable before closing her eyes. She was leaving the TV on so that there was a little background noise for her to fall asleep to.
"Goodnight, Super Max" Chloe mumbled sleepily, keeping Max close to her.
"Goodnight, Birthday Girl" Max muttered out through a yawn before finally letting herself doze off to sleep.
1:30pm 11th March 2014
"Told you I sucked at Mini Golf!" Chloe exclaimed as she and Max handed back the putters to the girl behind the desk at the entrance of the mini golf course. Max laughed as she finished tallying up their scores. "I'm not any better! Max concluded once she had their final scores. Chloe took a quick look at the score card and let out a chuckle. "Well at least we both suck!" She then added.
Both girls laughed as they made their way to the mall and straight to the nearest fast food place inside talking about their childhood and also about things they are going to get up to over the next few years. They both stopped at the back of the queue of the fast food place they had come to and began looking at the menu. "Uhm…I think I'll just get a cheese burger…" Chloe concluded as she looked towards Max. Max nodded her head as if agreeing. "I think I'll do the same! It means we can eat quickly and then go shopping before we head home to get changed for dinner!" Max explained as she took out her little wallet for money. They reached the counter and Max quickly ordered their food, handing over enough cash to cover it.
Chloe took hold of the tray of food once it was ready and made her way over to an empty table, sitting the tray on top of the table before sitting herself down on one of the hard wooden seats. "Where do you want to go shopping?" Max asked as she sat down in the seat opposite Chloe, lifting her food off the tray and beginning to eat. Chloe had already un-wrapped her cheese burger and had taken a huge bite out of it as Max asked her the question. She swallowed the mouthful of food before even considering answering.
"Well…I saw a few nice things in Urban Outfitters…but you are not spending hundreds on me!" Chloe admitted as she took another bite of her burger once she finished talking. Max laughed and covered her mouth as she chewed, shaking her head a little. "I'll spend as much as I want on you" She then added once she had swallowed her food. "It's your birthday and I have missed 5 birthdays of yours that I need to make up for!" Max exclaimed as she looked over towards her girlfriend.
Chloe laughed and nodded her head in agreement even though she still didn't want Max to spend too much on her. She wasn't used to being spoiled by anyone. Both girls finished their food as quickly as they could, Max taking a little longer to finish than Chloe. They both cleared their table before heading down to the lower level of the mall to head towards Urban Outfitters.
Both girls stepped into the shop and made their way over towards the women's clothing. Max browsed through the t-shirts. Chloe was looking through the skinny jeans when she heard a familiar voice coming from behind her. "Back again I see?" Chloe heard as she spun on her heels and looked towards the person the voice came from. It was the hipster girl that served her the last time she was there just before Christmas. Chloe raised her eyebrows before smirking slightly.
"I am yeah…I'm out birthday shopping" Chloe admitted as she lifted a pair of skinny jeans and held onto them. Chloe took a quick glance over towards Max who was still browsing through the T-Shirts. "You're birthday shopping on your own?" The girl asked, Chloe finally took a look at her name badge and spotted that the girl's name was 'Jennifer'. "I'm not on my own actually…my girlfriend is over there" Chloe answered with the smirk on her face as she pointed over towards the small brunette browsing through one of the racks.
Jennifer turned her gaze to look at who Chloe was pointing to before she raised one eyebrow and looked back towards Chloe as if to say 'THAT'S your girlfriend?'. "Oh…" She then muttered. Chloe could tell what Jennifer was thinking when she saw the look on her face and just seeing that look on the hipsters face made Chloe want to punch her, there was nothing wrong with her Max. In fact to her Max was beautiful, cute and downright adorable.
"Yeah, if I need anything I'll call on you…which I doubt will happen…" Chloe then muttered sarcastically as she kept a hold of the skinny jeans and made her way past Jennifer and over towards her girlfriend. She leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss on Max's cheek, making sure that Jennifer could see her. "Hey, you see anything you like?" Max asked with a smile, loving the kiss Chloe gave her on the cheek. "Just these jeans so far…" Chloe answered, grinning towards her love.
Max looked towards Chloe and raised her eyebrow when she noticed that Chloe seemed a little distracted. "Everything okay?" She then asked to which Chloe nodded and grinned. "Everything is Hella okay!" Chloe replied, keeping the grin on her face. Max paused for a second before nodding her head and grabbing hold of a pink t-shirt she had her eye on since they arrived in the shop. "Let's go pay for these then!" Max then spoke as she made a start towards the cashier's desk.
Chloe followed behind her girlfriend, letting her eyes trail towards Jennifer who was now walking over to go behind the counter. Chloe let out a sigh and rolled her eyes. The attention at first was great but now that the girl just wouldn't take the hint, especially while she was with Max, it was just starting to piss her off. Max stopped in front of the counter and placed everything she had down. "Hi there, is that all for you today?" Jennifer asked in an over exaggerated happy tone.
Max raised her eyebrow at the hipster girl behind the counter, looking towards Chloe who had allowed her resting bitch face to form on her features. Chloe placed the jeans down onto the counter as well. "Now it is…" Max then answered, looking back towards Jennifer. Jennifer flicked her long blonde ponytail off of her shoulder so that it felt down her back. She then scanned the items of clothing into the register, looking between Max and Chloe now and again.
Jennifer let a smirk cross her lips as she subtly winked towards Chloe who had glanced towards her. Jennifer thought her wink was subtle but Max had actually caught her doing it which made her narrow her eyes into a glare towards the blonde hipster girl. Max thought about rewinding to avoid being served by this girl but she shrugged it off and smirked herself before wrapping her arm around Chloe's waist, moving closer to her.
Chloe smiled as she draped her arm around Max's shoulders, who leant up and pressed a kiss onto Chloe's cheek. "Having a nice birthday so far?" Max asked, knowing exactly what she was doing and she hoped Chloe would go along with it. Chloe looked down at her brunette love and flashed a huge smile towards her, nodding her head. "All thanks to you, baby" Chloe replied, adding in the pet name for a better effect. Jennifer's smirk disappeared from her face when the couple in front of her did this. She placed the items of clothing they were buying into a carrier bag. "That'll be $79 please?" She then snapped towards the couple which almost made Chloe burst out laughing at her dry her tone of voice was, but she composed herself.
Max smirked and handed over the cash in her hand taking hold of the bag and handed it to Chloe with a huge grin. She took the change from Jennifer and flashed a huge but sarcastic grin towards her. "Thanks, enjoy the rest of your day" Max then spoke in a subtly sarcastic tone of voice, taking hold of Chloe's hand. Once they fingers were interlocked both girls made their way out of the store, grinning widely.
"The look on her face! You really are my favourite person Max!" Chloe admitted as she let out a laugh as they walked away from Urban Outfitters.
Over an hour later
Both girls had continued shopping, Max spoiling Chloe to a new pair of boots, a couple of bracelets and also a new leather jacket. They had also gotten a cute photo taken of them both in one of those photo booths. Chloe put one of the photos into her wallet while Max put the other into one of the bags. They had made their way back to the parking lot and were now sitting in Chloe's truck. Max had the bags of things at her feet while Chloe started up the truck. "So, go to mine drop my new stuff off, grab clothes for tonight, go to yours, let you look out clothes for tonight" Chloe started as she pulled out of the parking space she was in. "Have hot wild sex while your parents are at work, go for a shower, have some more sex in the shower, get ready for dinner and then go for dinner!" Chloe then continued with a mischievous smirk on her face.
Max had been nodding along to Chloe's plan to begin with before letting her eyebrows shoot up when she heard what Chloe continued her plan with. Max let out a laugh, but felt her cheeks flush with a blush so she lowered her gaze to her lap. Chloe quickly glanced towards her love and noticed the blush forming on Max's face. She let out a laugh not paying much attention to the road as she drove.
Max let out another laugh just as she lifted her head to look out of the windscreen. It was then that everything seemed to happen so quickly. A car from one of the side streets they were passing showed no signs of slowly down or giving way. Max's heart began to race at what was unfolding in front of her eyes. "CHLOE LOOK OUT!" Max called out her tone of voice showing her fear.
Just as Chloe allowed all of her attention to fall onto the road, he slammed her foot down onto the brake but it was too late. The red sports car slammed straight into the passenger's side of the truck, making the truck instantly flip onto its side. The red sports car had come to a complete stop, the front of it completely wrecked, but it wasn't in as bad of a mess as Chloe's truck.
All the windows of the truck had smashed; the passenger's side door was completely caved in and was currently crushing against Max's arm and leg. The driver's side of the truck had completely lost its door with the way it fell onto it and skidded along the ground and the roof was bent slightly. Both Max and Chloe had been knocked out from the crash but after about 10 minutes Chloe began to stir, groaning in pain, the sound of sirens filling her ears. She let her eyes open as the reality of what had just happened sunk in. She turned her head, hissing slightly at the muscle pain that shot through her neck. She let her gaze fall upon Max who was covered in bruises, scratches and blood but had also slipped down the bed of the truck on top of her.
"Max…?" Chloe whimpered out, trying to move her arm that was crushed between herself and Max's bodies. "Max…please be alive…please?" Chloe whimpered out again before she used her free arm to unbuckle her seat belt so she could try and climb her way out through the smashed windscreen. She didn't feel like anything on her body was broken but she did have bruises and cuts and a very sore body. Also with the fact that so much adrenaline was running through her body, she could have broken something and just not felt it.
"HELP?!" Chloe called out from the wreck of her truck. Max still completely out cold beside her. Chloe managed to get her legs free from under the steering wheel so she gently moved so that she didn't cause Max to fall from her position. "Don't move alright, I'm a fireman, my name is Jacob. We're going to cut the roof off to get you out of there" Jacob the fireman spoke from outside the truck, Chloe caught a glimpse of his feet through the broken windscreen. "Two of you in there, am I right?" He then asked, as if trying to keep Chloe talking so that he could tell if she was okay or not.
"Y…yeah…Max is…isn't awake, I can't tell if sh…she's okay! Please help?!" Chloe desperately whined out, tears streaming down her face from fear and also pain. She really hoped Max was only unconscious, but she couldn't tell, mainly because she couldn't move any further. "Just stay calm, we'll get you and your friend out as quick as we can okay?" Jacob spoke in a reassuring tone of voice.
It took the firemen over half an hour to cut the roof off of the truck and instantly the allowed the paramedics into the scene. Max still hadn't stirred in all of the time it took the fireman to get them out and that was worrying Chloe even more. Two paramedics lifted Max out of the wrecked truck and placed her onto a stretcher, whizzing her off to the nearest ambulance.
"Max?! Where are they taking her?" Chloe asked in a panicked tone of voice as another two paramedic's helped her out of the wreck. Chloe's legs weren't broken just bruised so they allowed her to stand, both of the keeping a hold of her to help her to walk. "They are just talking her into the ambulance to look her over and make sure she is okay, just stay calm okay?" The female paramedic helping Chloe spoke softly. Chloe kept her eyes on the ambulance that Max was now in the back of, her heart racing and tears still streaming down her face. The paramedics usher Chloe towards the other ambulance and tried to help her into the back of it.
"No, I want to be with Max. I need to be with her!" Chloe protested, shaking her head as she kept to a halt at the doors of the ambulance. The paramedics both looked at one another and sighed. "We can't work on your both in the same ambulance, we just want to check you over and then we will take you to her, okay?" The male paramedic spoke, his tone of voice firm but reassuring and gentle. Chloe hesitated and glanced towards Max's ambulance once more before nodding her head. "Fine…" She muttered as she made her way into the back of the ambulance to be checked over.
To Be Continued…
