Involving myself with him was the worst one I could have ever made. It ended with me almost dead in a fucking ditch" Rachael said sitting on the edge of Chloe's bed, she took a drag from her cigarette. Max seated cross-legged on the floor, she nodded along with what Rachel was telling /"He made me feel like I was special and that I was the only one who had a place in his heart without saying a word to me. He was wrong and like a moth I was drawn to the flame. The night that all of this went down I was at a party Chlo didn't feel up to coming so I promised I would see her after, I was hanging out with Nathan, the past weeks he had been progressively more threatening and just being a dick overall, he always had gritted teeth around me like there was always something left unsaid but it was just him. He'd come up to me earlier that night apologizing and telling me about some of the things he was going through. One minute I'm with Nathan the next thing I knew i'm in that stupid bright room with cameras going off all around me. I knew it was him because the next time I came too there was yelling and a hole being dug." After a moment of silence, she continued br /"and then I was on the side of the road a note in my hand along with enough cash to get me by till I could get a job, all the note said was 'run' So I did" Rachel sighed br /"Wow," Max said sitting there br /"I learned from that, you never get involved with people when it just feels… wrong… So why the interest Max?" br /Max nodded softly agreeing with Rachel, she then opened her mouth to speak, but Chloe moved from her spot on the wall and sat next to Rachel. With anger in her voice, she asked: "Why was he so close to you tonight Max?" br /"I'd just thrown up on Warrens doorstep and he's my teacher, of course, he's going to try and help… Well, at least that's what I thought" Max had to make it sound ominous. br /"Enough talk of this" Rachel said clearly feeling uncomfortable. "let's celebrate you graduating! Wanna drink Max?" Rachel asked smiling br /"Um I really shouldn't, I have to drive back to black well later tonight I have my last set of rehearsals tomorrow and the showcase is next weekend" br /"Your lose," Rachel said opening a beer. Chloe turns on her music so it was loud enough to jam to but not so loud to disturb her mother they laughed and sung being stupid. As Rachel stood to join the dancing Chloe her drink tipped right onto Max's front, spilling all down her light orange PJ shirt. "Oh so sorry Max" br /"Hey, Chlo can I borrow a shirt?" Max asked br /"Yeah you know where to go just get changed here, don't wanna wake the parentals," Chloe said to Max who got up. She grabbed a simple band tee she took off her PJ top she had been wearing "Wow look at you skinny girl finally got a tummy! You've been eating too many pancakes" Chloe joked Max turned and looked at her stomach in the mirror, she looked really bloated maybe she was finally going to get her period stupid thing was always late 'I should really keep better track of that'. She put the top on and walked back to the spot on the floor./p

She unlocked her door and entered the tiny room that she called home. She finally looked at her phone that had been in her bag. 15 calls and over 20 Texts most of the calls mark. Most of the text Warren trying to say sorry. Some were her parent apologizing again for not being able to make the graduation due to mix-ups with her dad work sending him out of the country. Max groaned and flopped on her bed she read through the texts Warrens first 'Max what I did was so uncool' the next one continued 'Im so sorry please forgive me. I'll take you to any movie you want!' THen he went on 'Actually nevermind you wouldn't want that after tonight I'll leave you be' Was the basic gist of what Max read with a lot of emoji texts in between Mark had sent. 'Maxine I'm so sorry for you to having found out about this mess this way. I don't kill people, I know it sounds bad but I tried to save Rachel, she was an interesting human to me. She seemed like all the other girls that wanted to get somewhere but somehow different and I don't know what it was. Please call me I want to talk about this properly and dispel what you think happened.' this one was sent right after she left then a little later br /'This is my last message I promise I'm sorry that this has happened when your ready talk to me please I love you" Max's heart stopped, that was the first time he had said that to her. She felt so conflicted. Then she felt something else, she doubled over it was terrible stomach pains as if someone was hitting her insides. 'Okay, I need to see a doctor or… doctor google I'll go if looks too bad' She pulled out her computer and punched in what she'd been feeling 'Ugh why am I even doing this' She clicked on go and it clicked 'Oh no' panic set in and she felt sick again 'No I'm just sick'. Max quickly got up and grabbed a jacket and run out the door to her car. She made her way to the gas station close to the school that would be closing in 20 minutes, once she was there she rushed inside. She grabbed some snacks and tea and the one thing she actually needed. After paying, she headed back to the dorms she could stop shaking the whole drive back her nerves were on their ends. Once back she heads to her room then right to the bathroom. She shook as she opened the small box reading ever instruction so quickly./p
