When they get home, Chloe instantly throws her backpack into the corner then drops on her bed. Max stands in the door hesitantly.

'Don't worry' says Chloe 'Nobody's home. Would you come here?' she sits up, reaching for Max with her right hand.

The brunette walks to the punk slowly. Chloe takes her hand, looking into the hazel pair of eyes. Something is not right.

'What's wrong, Max?' she asks worried.

'Nothing.' She smiles 'I just can't believe this is happening.'

'You're a better photographer than a liar. You're even a better savior than a liar, Max! What's wrong, Max?'

'I'm fine, Chlo' she sits down next to the bluenette 'I guess the adrenaline from getting my nipple pierced just disappeared'

'Is it way too late to rewind?' asks Chloe with a rather unsettled expression.

'What are you talking about? The piercing or the kiss?'

'Both. Did you regret it?'

'No, Chloe, of course I didn't' she smiles, cupping the punk's face 'I'm absolutely happy now.'

'You're hella strange, Caulfield' she reacts then hesitantly kisses Max 'What's wrong actually?' she asks softly as she drops her left arm around the brunette and kisses her forehead.

'You wanna spoil this, Chloe?'

Chloe breaks the embrace, looking at Max. The photographer bites her bottom lip, raising her hand, but Chloe is faster this time too.

'Not tonight, Caulfield! You promised me!' she yells as her eyes are getting misty 'Tell me what's going on! What's on your mind? Now!'

'I don't want to ruin this, Chloe…'

'So? You're leaving me again? Is that it?' she's suddenly standing on her feet, raging, looking for some cigarettes.

'No, Chloe, I'm not leaving you! What the heck?'

'What is it then?'

'Two things, actually' the brunette gives up 'I really am selfish, Chloe… I'm so selfish…' teardrops starts streaming from her eyes.

'Just tell me what's going on, Max' Chloe sits back, grabbing Max's hand. She's softened by the look of Max, but she's also worried.

'I… changed history, Chloe… but I was way too selfish and changed it back. I'm a terrible person…'

'What do you mean, Max?'

'Remember when you found out about Rachel and Frank? You were raging and… I thought that all you need is your father and I… I accidently made an alternative timeline.'

'Max?'

'I saved William… I did save William, but everything was so fucked up, Chloe. I instantly rushed to your house to check on you and I… I saw you like that and I couldn't… I…'

'You saved my father?' with this sentence Chloe also starts crying 'Why did you take that back then?'

'You never told me what happened, but… you ended up in a wheelchair, you could not move at all, nor breathe alone. It broke my heart, because you actually seemed to be happy. But I couldn't… I just couldn't…' the bluenette hugs Max tight.

'It's… fine, Max.'

'I'm a terrible person' she sobs 'Can you forgive me?'

'Of course I can, Max' she kisses her forehead. 'You did well. It's fine. I'll be fine. Just promise me you're not leaving me. Never. And I hope you mean it.'

'I'm not leaving you! I never leave you, Chlo!'

'Well, that was intense…' she sighs 'What about the other thing?'

'That… I guess I always had a crush on you. I wanted to tell you that night when we saved the town.'

'Why didn't you then?' she asks surprised.

'Because you were disappointed. We saved Arcadia Bay but never found Rachel. Did you…'

'Max, is this the reason you didn't tell me until tonight that you had a crush on me?'

'Chloe, did you…'

'Yes, Max, we were a couple. Why do you think I freaked out when I found out that she was banging Frank? But… I wanted a proper breakup, you know? Because I also had a crush on you. I wanted to tell you, but we were really into saving this shithole after all. You'd better not rewind this, because I don't think I'd be able to confess this again, Max!'

'So are we… fine?'

'Yes, Max. We are fine' she smiles softly and kisses the brunette's forehead 'I'm hella tired. Could we just sleep before I get to work?'

'A regular sleepover? How boring!' she laughs.

'Duh, what do you think about me? Banging on the very first day of getting together? Max, I want every single seconds of this relationship to be special'

'Didn't know you have a romantic side' their foreheads meet, Max closes her eyes.

'I still have surprises for you, Max' she tenderly kisses the brunette.

'So, is it official?'

'That we're a couple?'

'Should we call it?'

'Yes, Max. We are a couple. I love you.'

'I love you too, Chlo'

They go to bed. Chloe sleeps on her back, hugging Max really tight all night long. She's happier than ever.
