Episode 15

House party

Chloe growled at herself, "This is so frustrating, She's thirty feet from me, maybe...NO she would just rewind it anyways" She was trying to occupy herself with a doodle but the thought kept popping in her head. "Once this crap is over Caulfield, Watch out," A grin crossing her face.

"That was heaven," Came Max's voice, Chloe glanced up at her monitor seeing Max's reflection as she entered the room wearing a towel, Her wet hair framed her face as drops of water ran from her hair down her neck to her shoulders, She could also make out a few water trails glistening in the sunlight on her pale legs. Chloe sat there for a moment eye's wide until she noticed she was staring, "nothing like a full belly and a hot shower to start the day huh?" She said quickly turning back to her doodle. "I was er thinking of what the simple show might be," She replied as she turned on her chair putting her feet on her desk watching Max looking through her wardrobe for some cloth's as she stopped on a red checkered shirt and jeans. "I reckon you could rock that," she said as she lurched herself up and energetically bounced across the room.

Max rolled her eyes with her back to her, "I know I would, already worn it, Buuut It worked last time" She thought to herself, "Well I guess I can see if it fits I suppose," She replied to Chloe as she went to grab the hanger out of the wardrobe. "You can afford to take a chance sometimes, Ya know, try different things liiike," Max raised her hand cutting her off, "Don't even say it Chloe Elizabeth Price," She said holding her hand up to Chloe. Chloe stopped a little confused. "What," "You Mrs. Price were about to dare me to kiss you," Max shot back accusingly trying to hide a smile. Chloe's mouth fell open, "but I...Hay no rewind," she blurted feeling cheated. Max laughed, "I don't need to rewind," She said feeling somewhat amused at Chloe's current dilemma. Chloe felt confused, "how did she.." The penny suddenly dropped "That is so not fair" She replied weakly, collapsing on the bed and pouting her bottom lip. Max looked at her for moment, "she doesn't know how cute she looks doing that," she thought to herself as another thought popped into her head, "Crap what if that was it, No it wouldn't be that easy surely," Pretending to eye up the clothes Max thought hard, "I guess I might as well, What do I have to lose..accept," she let out a sigh as she walked over to the dresser grabbing a few tissues and returning to the spot in front of the wardrobe holding her hand out to Chloe.

Chloe's eyes were fixed to the floor as she noticed Max's legs walking across the room, absentmindedly she let her gaze follow the legs walk back and fourth and only after they stopped did she look up seeing Max's outstretched hand. "Good and the bad remember," Max said smiling as she felt a nervous knot in the pit of her stomach. Chloe looked at her momentarily confused before she registered what she saying. "Oh right," she got up and hopped over to where Max was standing taking her hand in her own, "Another trip into the crazy world of Max," She said jokingly. Max just grinned, "hmm," Max thought, "More like an episode of call my bluff," she could feel her grin getting bigger. "Pha," Chloe sneered, "I don't bluff Maxine Caulfield," "Well let's see shall we, I warn you now, though," Max thought for a moment and raised her eyebrow slightly."Your reaction was Priceless," She finished as she squeezed Chloe's hand gently. Chloe groaned at the pun as the room changed slightly.

As the scene played out Chloe's mouth fell open as the similarity of the conversation unfolded before them, "I was thinking that," she whispered to Max who just gave a little giggle in reply. "I dare you to kiss me," Other Chloe's voice came, Max felt her heart skip a beat as she absentmindedly squeezed Chloe's hand a little tighter. They watched as Other Max went into Kiss Other Chloe and Other Chloe pulled away a little surprised at Max's boldness and the scene faded.

Chloe gave a small laugh, "You totally called me out there," she said trying her best to hide the heat in her cheeks, "Dammit I dared her and then I bailed, what the actual fuck" She thought giving herself an internal slap on the forehead. Max cleaned up her nosebleed looking at her friend trying to figure out her reaction, "Would she want to dare me again, If I use my rewind would she remember, huh that thought never crossed my mind before in any of our other shadow walks," She thought to herself deciding to finally give a name to this unique little quirk they shared. "Hey don't even think about rewinding, "Chloe shot over her shoulder as she went to her desk.

"Thaught didn't even cross my mind," Max replied defensively trying to hide a guilty undertone, as she slipped on the clothes from the wardrobe. "you're a terrible liar, Mrs. Caulfield, I've always been able to see right through you," Pausing for a moment Chloe turned around to see Max buttoning up her shirt, "You do wear that well," She thought to herself, "Hey can you promise me something," Chloe asked in a serious tone," Max left the last few buttons undone and looked at her blue haired friend, She could see her brain working overtime as she was trying to process something. "No matter what happens, Don't rewind on me...Well unless ya know," Chloe continued she wore a serious expression but gave a little shrug as she said the last part. Max didn't need to hear the last part, her brain already filling in the blank, "I haven't since," She paused a moment before continuing, "This time around, and I won't not unless I have no other choice," Finishing her oath with a smile. Nodding Chloe turned back to her desk and her doodle, "Thanks, Max...Look I totally get it if there are some things you don't want to tell or show me, Some things might be better left...untold," She muttered the last word bearly audible.

Max felt a stab of guilt as she heard Chloe's words and let out a sigh, "Chloe, It's not that I don't want to share..I just don't want to drop everything on you at once, To be honest, you seem to be processing everything better than I thought you would all things considered," Chloe let out a chuckle, "Well if I'm honest I haven't really been using my head for a few year's, So your kinda giving it a work out," Max sat on the edge of the bed and lay down with her hand behind her head bringing on foot up to the edge of the bed, "Chloe, There is something else but...I don't know if I should tell you, be.." The arrival of a car pulling up outside beeping its horn interrupted her. Getting off the bed she went to the window and they both peered outside.

Parked In front of the house was a beaten retro blue car and Warren could be seen lugging his laptop out of the car as Kate was getting out of the passenger side her arm still in a sling. "Looks like it time for the house party," Chloe said in a cheery voice as Max darted across the bedroom and shot downstairs. "Tell me what Max, Because you think I can't handle it," Chloe shook her head as she pondered what Max had said and sighed, "Yes mom I hear you...Give her time," She said to herself rolling her eyes and heading downstairs.

"Kate" Max shouted as she bowled out the front door and down the path flinging her arms around the short blond squeezing her a little too tight, "Ow, shit Max," Kate groaned as she pulled away placing her hand on her shoulder wincing. "Ooops sorry," Max replied feeling a little sheepish, "It's ok Max, I'm happy to see you too," Kate laughed back. "There she is," Came Chloe's voice as she greeted Kate with a hug making sure to avoid her shoulder. "Hey Warren," Chloe nodded as Warren started walking up the path laptop in one hand and a bag in the other as Max grabbed him in a hug, "Hi Warren it's good to see you," Max said releasing him from the hug and grabbing the bag out of his hands as they all walked inside.

After twenty minutes of general banter about school, And everyone had a coffee accept Kate who had tea, Chloe spoke while perching on the back of the sofa, "So Max how we gonna do this," Everyone looked at Max who was leaning against the kitchen counter with her coffee in hand. Giving a nod she spoke, "Ok you two, You ready for something that's borderline crazy," she said feeling a little nervous as she nodded at both of them. Warren spoke first, "I've already told you, Max, you have my undivided attention." "And I've told you two I don't care how you did it, And that I would believe whatever you told me," Kate replied in turn while pulling at the strands of her sling.

"Ok then," Max said feeling a smile work its way onto her lips as she glanced at Chloe who wore the stupidest grin as she walking to over to the table. Max grabbed a pen and two sheets of plain paper off the counter and walked over to join them placing a piece in front of both Warren and Kate. "Ok Warren your the science nerd," Max said in a jokey voice, "Do whatever tests you want, You can even change the paper for something you brought with you, when you're happy with the conditions let me know," Max looked at Chloe who's grin threatened to cut her face in half. Warren looked at her a bit confused as he flipped the sheet of paper over in his hands, shrugging he leaned into his bag and pulled out a fresh pad removing one of the sheets pushing the original paper to the middle and placing his own in front of him. "Ok hit me," he said looking at the girls as they now both had large grins.

Giving Chloe a little nod Max took her hand in her own and turned to Warren and Kate as she ground things to a halt. Max reached over to Warrens sheet and scribbled a simple "Hugz" on it and handed the pen to Chloe who had grabbed Kates sheet and wrote "We love you Kate" Placing them back and giving each other a little nod as Max let time resume.

Warren was still looking at the girls with an I'm ready, expression, But Kate had already noticed the writing on her paper a mixed look of shock and confusion as her mouth opened and closed as she began tapping the table with her good hand to get Warrens attention pointing to his sheet of paper. Warren looked down to his paper is eyes bulged as he shot a look at Kate's paper, then his own and back to the girls holding up his hands. "Ok how the.." he said stopping himself short noticing Max had blood coming out of her nose as Chloe was handing her a tissue.

"Ok," Max said as she blotted the last of the blood of her lip looking at Warren and Kate both looking confused as ever, "Think about what's happened so far," She looked at Warren, "I told you there would be an eclipse, Then there was one the next day, Chloe told you to look for whales, And then Whales ended up on the beach," Taking a breath she turned to Kate, "Yesterday you for all intense and purposes saw me and Chloe teleport from the grounds to the roof," They both nodded slowly. Max gave a little shrug, "I can r," "Max can rewind time" Chloe burst out before she could finish, looking at her giving a little shrug with her sorry look.

A few hours later and a shorthand crash course in recent and future events Kate and Warren were still sat at the dining table listening intently while Chloe kept them supplied with tea and coffee, Max could see Warrens brain working overtime and bursting with questions, Kate just sat there deep in thought. "And that's everything, barring a few minor details," Max said as she slumped in her chair. "Heavy," Warren muttered deep in thought. "No kidding, Two days and it's fucking party time," Chloe cheerily proclaimed from her perched position on the back of the sofa before glancing at Kate ,"Sorry," she muttered. Kate slowly shook her head, "It's ok, I'm not a complete," She blushed slightly, "fucking prood," She finished. Max and Chloe looked at each other with their mouths open slightly as Chloe walked over to Kate and placed a hand on her shoulder, "Good girl," She said grinning at Max, Max just shook her head and rolled her eyes, "you're such a bad influence," she shot back with a sigh, Chloe just nodded with a grin.

Max sat there looking over at Warren as he processed everything she just dropped in his lap, For the first time since she had met him, He actually looked lost for words, And Kate was just staring into space absentmindedly tracing her finger around the edge of her cup. "This is the point where you tell me I've lost it and need help," Max told Warren looking at him giving her eyes a half roll as she slouched in her chair slightly. Warren looked at her and let out a hmph, "you thought that it was because of your...ability," He said searching for the right word before he continued, "So you went back and just didn't use it, But it ended up snowing anyway's, just a week later than now" He glanced at Chloe and then back to Max, "So you came back, and we have two days to somehow, Get as many as we can away from the coast," He let out a drawn out sigh. "Pretty much it," Chloe shot who was now in the kitchen with her head in the fridge rummaging for something to eat. He leaned across the table slightly, looking at Max with a serious expression, "Max you didn't cause this, I'll admit it's weird that you using your ability seems to move the storm forwards, But I don't think your destroying time," He leaned back and let out another sigh, "I mean think about it, From the point you got up to now you've made consciously or subconsciously a few hundred decisions, From what time you got up, your first words to what you ate and when you ate it, If alternate realities exist then there must be an unthinkable number of them," he finished raising his hands in exasperation.

Max thought for a moment as something popped into her head and she grinned turning to Chloe, "Maybe there's a reality where you have green hair," "That's not even funny," she shot back with a look, "Or no hair at all," Kate's voice came from the other side of the table as they all looked at her and started laughing, "Kate your evil," Chloe managed to get out between laughs. "But I think you're right when you say pausing time is less damaging than rewinds, It makes perfect sense," Warren spoke as he recovered from laughing. Max looked at him tilting her head slightly before muttering, "Oh," "Well think about it, Going back and changing things meant you went on what did you call it autopilot?" He paused for a second as Max nodded and opened her mouth to say something but Warren held up his hand, "Lemme finish, You went on autopilot because your brain couldn't process everything, Hence the head ache's, Stopping time, on the other hand, gives you," he took a breath, "Ironically more time to process everything. I'm no expert, But I think the reason you didn't autopilot this time was purely down to your own will Max," He looked at her with an impressed expression, "Your sheer determination to do everything right, You basically forced your brain to process everything and as a result," "As a result she crashed for over sixteen hours," Chloe butted in with a mouthful of a pancake she had retrieved from the fridge as she walked over giving Max a smile.

"As to why you can do it, No idea, a trigger maybe like what happened in the bathroom, maybe the storm is connected to it, Or maybe it's just divine intervention," Warren finished glancing over at Kate giving her a small nod. "But the bigger question is what to do about this storm, No amount of time travel is going to stop it, And if we tried telling officials...Well, you've seen the movies," He finished shrugging as he retrieved his laptop from his carry bag. Max thought for a moment before speaking, "Ya know, In the other timeline slash reality I actually wished," She breathed in as she could feel a tear threatening to form, "I actually wished I didn't have this power, I actually wished that I never experience any of it and just went along blissfully unaware," She felt a lump in her throat and forced it back down as she felt Chloe's hand come to rest on her shoulder. "Max," Kate who had bearly said a word all afternoon spoke up, Max looked at Kate with a solemn expression, "Max, I think you were MEANT to get this gift, You were meant to save Chloe," Nodding at Chloe quickly, "And in turn it meant you could both save me, I don't care who what or how, You two were meant to be there, And I couldn't think of a better person to receive something like this," Kate finished as she reached her hand across the table, Max taking the cue reached out her own hand taking the small blond's fingers and gently squeezing them and smiling, "Makes sense, time before I didn't have Chloe with me and..." She trailed, Chloe gave her shoulder a gentle squeeze, "Hey it's all good now, As Kate said maybe it was all meant to happen," Max smiled at Chloe.

"Now then," Chloe said as she moved to the empty chair turning it round and planted herself down facing the table, "How we gonna get the word out, without getting ourselves thrown into some government lab for lobotomies," Max let out a half chuckle, Warren was head in his computer not paying attention and Kate grimaced at the thought before speaking, "Well we could just put posters up," As she started sketching something on the back of her piece of paper which she had been using as a tea coaster and now had a tea ring on it. "Saying what, armageddon is coming to the bay on Friday run for it, People might get confused with the party that's tonight," Chloe chimed in trying not to sound patronizing and hoping it didn't come across as such, Kate let out a small chuckle, "That was cancelled seeing as the main organizer was arrested, Besides I was thinking something like this," She held up the piece of paper to show the two girls. On it was five little boxes in a storyboard fashion, Each one showing, in turn, the events that had happened and was going to happen, Snow, Eclipse, Whales, Moons, Storm. "We simply print out a bunch and stick em at the busiest places before the two moons tomorrow tonight," She finished looking a little unsure of herself.

Chloe slapped her forehead a little too hard, "Ow," she said rubbing it, "Why didn't I think of that, It's so simple, Kate that's genius," Warren shot his head up and gave a quick look at Kate's drawing before snatching it out of her hand looking it over, placing next to him and going back to his laptop without saying a word. The three girls looked at each other and shrugged as they got up and stood behind Warren looking over his shoulder. Warren already had a poster up on his screen and was removing stuff from it and googling images to drop in their perspective places. "Warren," Max asked slowly, "I was already thinking of a leaflet, I was going to...But Kates idea is actually much better and gets the point across faster, Chloe, do you have a printer," He spoke without taking his eyes off the screen constantly grabbing images resizing them and changing color filters for impact.

"Er yeah, It's upstairs," Chloe replied a little surprised at first but quickly shot upstairs. Just then Kate's phone went off signaling a message, Max looked at Kate as she had a slightly confused expression on her face as she walked around the table to get her phone it went off again and again in a series of beeps and vibrations as it registered a bunch of received messages. Max raised her brow, "Someones popular," she joked. "Not usually this.." Kate's voice faded as she picked up the phone and scrolled through it, her jaw hung open in disbelief. "Kate what's wrong," Max said as she walked over to Kates side. Kate shook her head as she scanned the contents of the messages, "It's from Victoria, and Taylor and, Juliet n Dana, Courtney even Zachery, How he get my number," Kate mumbled as she read through the messages. "What do they want, Guilt finally caught up with them," Max sneered as she felt a rush of anger at the names Kate listed. Kate looked at Max and shook her head, "No Max, There apologizing, Nathan confessed to...everything, It's all over the news, The Video has been removed and seized as evidence." Max could see Kate's blue eyes began watering as she spoke along with a genuine smile forming on her lips, "Oh Kate," She said wrapping her arms around the short smiling blonde, "See I told you everything would be alright,".

"Ok, here it is," Came Chloe's voice she entered the dining room placing her printer on the table and looking at the two girls still hugging, "What I miss," She said looking at the two a little unsure of what to make of it. "Nathan's admitted everything, And the police released a statement, and Kate just got bombarded with texts from pretty much the whole school apologizing," Max replied looking over to her with a smile. Chloe snorted, "every one of those fuckers should be on their knees, They've know Kate for how long, Not difficult to see something was wrong, Even I knew that and I only seen ya a few times before I got expelled," Her voice came across heated but Max could see her eyes portrayed a caring side to her blue-haired friend, One she had witnessed first hand.

Chloe went about plugging in the extension lead for the printer while Warren finished up the poster and hooked his laptop up to the printer. Kate had resided herself to sitting in the corner of the sofa busily replying to all the messages, Even though Chloe had tried talking her out of replying to all of them after the way she was treated. But Kate simply replied that it wasn't in her nature to hold a grudge and that she could at least just let them know she was ok if nothing else. This did not go down well with Chloe.

"I still don't get it, Kate, they treated you like some slut, Even though you were clearly out of it..," Chloe stopped mid-rant as Kate shot a look at her when she said the last part. "You watched it," as her face fell slightly, "shit," Chloe muttered to herself glancing guiltily at Max and then back to Kate, "Yeah...But only to see if I could see anything funny going on, Not funny as in funny but ya know what I mean, But seriously, Kate, you were completely passed it, How could anyone not see there was something very wrong," Chloe looked at Kate with her guilty puppy dog eyes but Kate just looked back down at her phone, "I never saw it," she mumbled. "Dunno whether to call that a good or bad thing if I'm honest," Chloe said as she disappeared into the kitchen returning momentarily later with another cup of tea, "On one hand, a few months from now this will be a distant memory, And on the other watching it you would see that it's not that bad, I know you believe in abstinence, And no one is going to take that...No one HAS taken that away from you, But I'm pretty sure there's nothing in the book against kissing a couple of guys," Chloe said handing Kate the cup of tea and smiling.

Kate put her phone down and took the cup of tea off Chloe thinking, "Besides," Chloe said as she vaulted herself over the back of the sofa into the opposite corner from Kate, "I prefer to look at it more as guidelines on how to be a better person, Ya know treat others how you want to be treated and all that," Kate looked up at Chloe and tilted her head a little and chuckled, "Whats so funny," Chloe looked at her with a raised eyebrow, Kate shook her head slightly, "Nothing, I'm just trying to imagine you reading the bible," Max let out a laugh as Chloe shot her a glance, But she didn't care the image was already there. Chloe let out a chuckle, "Nah I never read it, I've read quotes and heard bits of it, And I'm by no means a role model either, My last few years I think I probably did the exact opposite of everything, it happens when you're bored, Now if you're kept busy with work then you don't really think about that stuff..That is if the work is interesting," She finished looking at Kate with a smile.

"So work is a plot to keep us all occupied, It's a damn conspiracy," Max rolled her eyes as she said it. They all chuckled at this, "Nah, just a side effect, But honestly, though, While Kate here doesn't act on it, I bet there's been more than one occasion where she's at least thought about it," "CHLOE," Max practically yelled at her before looking at Kate with an "oh" expression. Chloe looked at Kate, then at Max and then back to Kate before noticing it, Kate's cheeks had turned a deep scarlet red as she stared at her cup. "er Kate, sorry that was probably a little out of line, But I wouldn't worry, It makes us human, Just go with what feels right, Use your own Judgement...If there is an afterlife of any kind I like to think were judged for how we treat each other not what we get up to in our private lives, That's all," Chloe stopped as something dawned on her, "Huh guess I got some making up to do then" She finished with a somewhat half huff half laugh.

Kate let out giggle spilling her tea a little on her jeans but not really reacting to it. "I never really thought about it like that, And to answer your question, No I haven't acted on it, "Kate's cheeks went even more crimson as took a shaky breath, "and yes I have thought about it...I guess I just get this image of being dragged to hell everytime the thought goes through my mind," Chloe scoffed, "Girl if that's what hell is like sign me up," She glanced over at Max and her face went solemn as she turned back to Kate, "I don't mean to sound like a bitch Kate, But I reckon there's only one person here that knows what hell is and she's standing over there," Chloe nodded in Max's direction. "While we told you all the important parts there's a few.." "Chloe," Max let out a small whimper, "Max she should know, They both should, It might give them a better perspective," Chloe replied in a firm but gentle voice as she got off the sofa and stepped over it walking up behind Max enveloping her in a hug.

"Know what," Kate asked a hint of fear carried her voice. Chloe turned her head to face her with a pained expression but kept hold of Max and let out a sigh, "Kate, How many times do you think Max has seen you fall off that roof," Chloe asked the blonde trying to sound as comforting as possible. Warren stopped clicking when he heard the question, Chloe felt a shudder run through Max and Kate's face went as white as a ghost in shock. "Even if it was only once, I bet Max has played it over in her head 100 times," she continued as she felt a sob come from Max's chest. "Chloe please," Max pleaded again trying to keep back her tears, "Remember you said Max was meant to save me, and that both of us were meant to save you, Last time around I wasn't there with Max due to my own stupid self-pity," "Max I," Kate started but Chloe interrupted her, "I'm sorry though Kate you don't get to feel queen of guilt train here, That honour is mine and mine alone," "Chloe, please," Max turned herself around to face Chloe and buried her face into Chloe's chest twisting her fingers into the punks tanktop. Chloe took a staggered breath as she felt the guilt rush through her and spill over, "You see, Not only was I selfish and stupid enough to force Max to undo me getting killed god knows how many times, we thought that because of Max saving me with her time travel, That that's what caused the storm, So I told my best friend since childhood to go back and...watch me die 10 feet away from her, And the worst part wasn't that I wouldn't remember any of it, No, Fate deemed it better that no one would, except Max," Feeling herself shaking a little Chloe took a second to regain her composure, "And like she did with you, Kate, I know that she's replayed that moment in her head a thousand times, and blamed herself, Hell if I know her she's probably imagined herself pulling the trigger herself," She looked down to Max who's tear's had now soaked through her top, As she cried harder not realizing how close to home she had hit, "So you tell me Kate how your version of hell stacks up, Because I know mine doesn't even come close and I've been through 5 years of it," Chloe breathed out the last part her voice shaking as she could feel a tear forming on her eyelid, With Max gently sobbing into her chest all she could do to comfort her was tighten her grip.

Kate's face had gone blotchy and red as tear trails lined her cheeks, "Why didn't you say something earlier," she sniffed, Chloe let out a sigh, "In all fairness it wasn't my intention to guilt you, It just somin I've been bottling up since she told me everything, Sorry it wasn't aimed at you, More of a self-chastising I suppose," "Chloe," Max's voice came softly as she peered up from the punks shirt with teary eyes. Chloe looked down at her "Max you need to stop beating yourself up about it, were all here now, me, Kate and everyone, even those assholes that don't deserve it, And I know you've saved my sorry ass at least half a dozen times, Sure you stumbled occasionally, But you just kept going back till you figured it out, Like with the train, give that responsibility to anyone else and they would have had the same challenges, You a fucking hero Max," Chloe smiled resting her head on Max's head. "How many," Warren finally spoke up in a flat tone after waiting for Chloe to finish. "huh," Chloe mumbled not moving from her position.

"How many times have you rewound Max" Warren turned to face the two girls that were still in their embrace. Max turned her head to face Warren still reluctant to let go of her Chloe. Chloe looked down at Max, "Too many," ,"119 times, 168 If you count photo jumps, not counting the time stops," Max interjected flatly. Chloe's mouth fell open as she looked down at Max, "Had she really been keeping count, Had I fucked up that many times," Chloe thought to herself. "168 versions," Warren mumbled and looked at Max his eye's bulging. "Max, there are people out there that take some very strong stuff to forget just ONE reality because they can't cope, And you have god knows how many running around in your head, If they CT'ed your brain right now, You'd probably break the machine," He finished exasperated. Max let out a teary chuckle at the thought of it.

Max felt a swell in her chest on hearing this, as well as her head feeling like it grew three sizes ,"Super processor Max," she mumbled with a smile, Max suddenly became aware of an extra arm around her just above her waist and a head resting on her shoulder, Turning her head she saw it was Kate looking up at her, "She's right you know, And whatever happens, who ever.."she took a quick gulp of air, "Whoever doesn't make it, You can't...Your NOT responsible for Max, Even if it was my," "Kate," Chloe tried to interject, But Kate held her hand up to silence her, "Even if it was my family, Or even..Me, I wouldn't blame you, Because I know if you could you would, But I wouldn't want you too at the risk to yourself, You are a hero Max, But not even made up hero's can save everyone. I mean fuck," she thought for a moment and giggled a little, "I'm actually starting to like that word, even God himself can't save everyone and you're more like a..," She thought searching for the right word, "a Demi-god anyways,". Kate finished with a beaming smile. Max gave a little nod understanding what she trying to get across and then looked at Chloe giving her a 'your in trouble' look. "I did nothing Chloe said defensively. Max chuckled and shook her head resting it in Chloe's chest again, "Your such a bad influence on her,"

And that's number 15...Wowzers that was a long one, two days to go, And I promise before the storm is over these two will get their acts together :P, Just didn't realize how long it would take but oh well, It's fun to write. I think I got the balance of humer and red eyes about right lol.

As usual comments and critique are welcome

Hope you enjoy it
