MAX'S POV
"Thanks for agreeing to talk with me Victoria. I know we've never been the best of friends but I'm worried about Kate. Ever since she got back from the hospital she has been a little different. She has stopped hanging out with anyone but me. I mean I do love her, as a friend, and all. But this is a bit much. I want her to be happy." I lay a lot on Victoria all at once. We are in her room, little do we know Kate is eavesdropping from the other room. I really am concerned for Kate, Victoria hopefully will know what to do. She has proven herself as truly remorseful for what she did. Victoria has redeemed herself in my mind at least.
"Max I think you're right, I have noticed that Kate hasn't been her usual self lately. It concerns me as well. Perhaps I could talk to her. If she has one on one time with someone other than you it might help her to adjust." Victoria offers a reassuring smile to the obviously worried Max. Max hugs Victoria, "Thanks Vic, this means a lot to me. I care about Kate so much." Victoria blushes and looks away. "Will you stop calling me that ridiculous Nickname?" Victoria stampers out, Max just smirks. "That's fine with me, Tori." Victoria tosses a pillow at Max. "You smart-ass. Anyway I'll see you later after I talk to her, you can hang out in my room if you want. Also Max can I ask you something?" Max perks up and looks straight at Victoria she tilts her head slightly to the side. She nods and waits for Victoria to pose the question. "Would you like to go put tomorrow? There's a new horror movie coming out, I'd like to do something with you. Like as a date."
KATE'S POV
Kill, kill, kill, kill. I'll kill her, Kate sits in her bed, she heard their entire conversation. She is seething with anger. How dare Victoria be so bold? Does she really think that she will let her steal Max away like that? What an idiot, this won't happen. Victoria Chase dies tonight.
Kate sits in her bed a while silently spewing curses on Victoria when the very person comes knocking on her door. "Kate are you in there I'd like to talk and maybe take a walk." Kate takes a few seconds to respond in a somewhat calm manner. She needs to take Victoria far away from here, she needs her to be trusting. "Yeah I'm up, I'd enjoy a walk. Just give me a moment to get ready." Kate's weapon of choice is a knife,it can be used to slit Victoria's throat before she makes a peep. Kate stows away her weapon and steps outside, a meek smile on her face. "Hey Victoria, I'm ready now so what did you want to talk about?" The two walk and talk, Victoria expresses concern Kate's wellbeing. She explains that Max is also worried. "We are your friends we care about you. You have other friends as well like Alyssa. I know Max must be special to you. She really is something isn't she? You are lucky to be so close to her. Anyway even Maxine the kind needs some personal space." At this point they are in a path in the woods, they walked quite a few miles away from town. The sun is setting at this point. "Shut up Victoria, you don't know anything about me or Max. I live her, and I need her. Max is my everything! How dare you try to take her away from me?" Victoria is really thrown for a loop. She didn't expect this kind of responce from her trying to be nice. She is really concerned at this point. Since when did they get this far out? She had sort of just followed Kate where she was going. Now they are in the middle of nowhere with thick foliage and trees surrounding them.
"Kate please calm down, I don't understand if you love Max why didn't you say anything. Now I feel bad for asking her out. Listen-"
"No you listen! You went to far. You bullied me the the brink of death, you almost killed me. Now you do this, well Victoria you should have finished the job because I sure will."
That night Kate returned alone, Max waited for Victoria to return for hours before falling asleep in her own bed. She left a dozen texts. It felt so odd, had something gone wrong between them? Only time would tell.
