PROLOUGE PART 2: World so cold

(Song by Three Days Grace)

2012

Wowser. It's four Years now. Hell of a time Max thought. Through that time, Max changed a lot. She let her Hair grow longer and dyed it in a dark purple tone. Mom totally freaked when she saw it first. She almost grounded me. Worth it though. Let her talk.

Max also changed her clothing style and her taste in music. Now listening to Rock and Metal, she adjusted her Wardrobe in that way. Now way more Black in her closet, she still has her old stuff in it though. I just don't want to get rid of it. It reminds me of Chloe. Oh Chloe. I miss you so much. As Chloe comes in her mind, Max choke some tears back.

It's like that the most time she thinks about Chloe. Sometimes she can hold her tears back, but most of the times, she can't. It breaks her Heart that she didn't get any reply from her. Why do you never answer my letters? Do you hate me? Have you moved on? Or even replaced me? Max's head was running in circles. The thought of Chloe with someone else on her side, heavies her Heart. Max made some friends too, but no one could ever replace Chloe. Not in the way she feels for her though.

I wonder if she thinks about me some times Max thought. On her way Home from getting a Lip-Ring Piercing, Max plugged her headphones in her MP3 player and listened to some Music. It always calms her down.

Since she discovered the power behind some Songs, she made Playlists for every kind of emotional breakout. As she entered her Chloe playlist which was filled with more or less sad songs, she felt the urgent need to cut herself again. Also when she stopped it a few months ago though, she wants to do it sometimes when her sadness takes overhand. Fuck this shit. I don't need to do this. I have the music now.

As Three Days Grace's World So Cold comes out her Headphones, she started to hum with the lyrics. Always aware of the looks she gets when she is doing so. It's kind of funny how some people can't stand someone humming with a Rock song. Also, why do look so at me? Never seen a Girl in Cargo Pants? she thought as someone stared her down. Waving him off, Max just continued her way home.

As she reached the Apartment building, she regretted it. The thought of her Mom being home, made her sick. I bet she will flip off me again. Climbing up the stairs, she already feels some anger build up in her chest. Keep calm Max. Nothing happened now. Entering her Apartment, she felt the anger go away with the lack of her mother showing up. Thank God she isn't home.

Since the moved to Seattle, Max father is mostly at work. That makes her mother the only one at home most of the time. When her Father has seen her the first time with the newly dyed hair, he said that he likes it and that it fits her pretty well. Mom looked at him with a glace of hate in that moment. I love you, dad. You are the only one who accepts my new me. Now that she goes through puberty too, he's the only one who let her be.

Lying in her Bed, Max heard the Apartment door open. Entrance: The drama Max thought with discomfort.

"Max, you home?" Vanessa Caulfield shouted out.
"Yes I am. Where else should I be?" Max answered.
As her mother entered her room, she almost dropped her bag.
"Max! What is this? A Piercing? Are you insane? Why would you do something like that?"
"Because I like it mom. It's no Tattoo at least. Isn't that your greatest fear? Your little girl getting a tattoo? I changed, accept it!"
"No Max! My greatest fear is that you would run away again! Why are you always like that?" her mother asked.
"Because you started it. You always do." Max answered.
"I don't start anything Max. Since you started to change, you are always pushing me."
"Well, maybe you are just overreacting like you always do?"
"You are 16 Goddammit! You shouldn't be getting piercings in that age!" her mother blurted out.
"Fuck off mom! You don't understand me! No one does. Not you, not my classmates, no one!" Max screamed at her mother.
"Then maybe you should stop complaining and starting growing up. I'm at least giving my best to get lost of your letters." Her mother said and regretted it the moment she said it

"What? Are you throwing away my letters to Chloe?! How could you! You know how I feel about her!" Max screamed. At the moment her mother mentioned it, Max is feeling her Rage building up again. As she stands up from her bed to get lost of her mother, she her Mother closed the door and locked them both in Max's room.

"Get out of my way!" Max screamed at her mother.
"No I will not. You need to understand that I only did that with my best intention. I thought that when you think she don't answer you, you may be move on and forget her." She said with a calm voice
"How dare you! You think it's good for me to feel abandoned? That it's good for me to feel all alone? To think the love of my life hates me? What is wrong with you?!" With that, Max shove her mother away and stormed out of the door. With tears in her eyes, Max leaved her mother behind in her room and leaves the Apartment.

I just can't believe he has done something like that. I hate her Max thought as she runs down the street. She just wanted to leave everything behind. Mostly her mother. As she reached a park, Max took a seat on a bench and broke out in tears. How could the world be so cruel to her? She just wanted to be happy. At least a little happiness would have done it. But all she got was Heartache and tears. As she sat in the Park and cried, she thought about someone to talk to. She then decided, that she will go to her father and talk with him about it. He at least understands my feelings. With that she started off to her father's Workplace.

As she reached the Hospital her father works ad, she got a bit nervous. Will he even have time for me? she asked herself. As she entered the foyer, she walked to the information counter. "Excuse me? Where is Doctor Caulfield at the moment?" Max asked the nurse at the counter. When she said her that he just got to his lunch break and that he will be in the cafeteria, Max thanked her and headed there.

As she entered the cafeteria, her father just has taken his place at a table. She walked to him and took a seat in front of him.

"Max! What a surprise to see you here! You look terrible! What happened?" Ryan Caulfield said to her
"Hey Dad. Yeah Mom and I just got at each other. I just don't know how I should go on with her." Max answered her father.
"Oh my little Maxi. What happened? You can talk to me you know that."
"Yeah I know that. That's why I'm here. Say have you known about my Letters for Chloe?" Max asked her father.
"Yeah I know you wrote some to her. Your mother wanted to enter the at the Post office." He answered.
"Yeah she actually never did. She just held them back" Max said as tears build up in her eyes again.
"Oh sweetie that's horrible! I will talk to her. I just can't believe she will do something like that. Has she told you why she has done that?"
"She thought it was for my best. Can you believe that? With best intention she said. I-I just d-don't know what to do. I already intended to run away." Max confessed to her father. She felt terrible as she looked at his face. He looked almost as broken as herself.

"I will talk to her Max, but please don't run away again. It would kill me to know what could happen to you." Her father said with a Heartbroken tone.
"I promise I won't Dad. For you." Max said to him.
"Thank you Max. I love you kiddo"
"Love you too dad. Thanks for talking with me. I will head home now. See you Later?"
"See you later Maxi. Just stay safe on your way home."
"I will." Max said. Giving her Dad a kiss on the cheek and a hug, Max leaved the Hospital

I will stay for you Dad. With that thought, Max headed home. Aware of what could await her at home, Max doesn't care about it. She will just get done with her Mother and anything else. She will just stay calm. As she came home, she wondered that her mother wasn't there. Well, it's a problem less to care about. She just headed to her bedroom, to take some work with her latest photos and her website. As she opened her Mail, she was surprised as she sees the new Mail she got.

It says it was from Blackwell-Academy.
