So this whole 'Vampire thing' has really changed Max, like, she's the same but she's different.
She has mood swings often, she's become extremely predatory, I've even found dead animals in her room..
Come on Max.. You're better than that..
Chloe walked towards Max's dorm when she was approached by Kate.
"Chloe..? How's Max? She's not been coming to class and I'm really worried for her.."
Chloe sighed. "Yeah.. There's some... Crazy shit going on with her, I've been doing my best to take care of her."
Chloe could see Kate's face losing color slowly. Chloe gulped and placed a hand on Kate's shoulder.
"Hey, listen.. Uh.. Don't worry, I'm handling things, I promise."
Kate looked up at Chloe hopefully and smiled.
Oooh fuckk... What the hell, she's so cute, and well.. She obviously really cares about Max... I'd better do my absolute best..
"Thank you Chloe.." Kate uttered.
"Y-Yeah no problem!" Chloe stammered on pulling away from Kate.
"Hey Chloe?"
"Y-Yeah..?"
"What's wrong with Max..?"
Chloe's heart skipped a beat.
Should I tell her? ... What the fuck am I thinking? 'Oh yeah, your friend got turned into a blood thirsty vampire, Kate might think that Max is some sort of devil. Ugh..
Chloe placed a hand on her neck and averted her eyes.
"Don't worry Kate, everything will be okay. But I gotta go now, uh.. Bye!"
Chloe rushed towards Max's door and quickly entered.
Max immediately lunged towards Chloe pressing her against the door.
The brunette brought her face close to Chloe's neck and took a whiff.
Max let go of Chloe. "Chloe!" She said joyfully.
"Was that really really necessary Max..?" Chloe brushed herself off, her face flushed.
"My vision isn't as good in the daytime Chloe.. I needed to make sure it was you.."
"You couldn't have just asked?"
Max just snickered.
"So you haven't been going to class? Kate is really worried about you Max.."
"So let's go see her!"
Chloe choked on her words. "G-Go see her? Max, I mean.. You're kind of forgetting the fact of.. Oh I dunno, You're a god damn vampire?"
"Oh come on Chlooeee... Don't be like thaatt... I wanna see my friennndd..."
Chloe sighed. "..Alright fine, let's go see Kate, but control yourself Max.. You can be scary sometimes.."
"Shhh... I'm fine" Max grinned heading towards the door.
Chloe opened the door and led Max towards Kate's door.
The Bluenette knocked on the door.
Kate opened the door a peered out cautiously.
"Chloe?" She asked
"Hey.. Someone's here to see you.."
Max slid out from behind Chloe and waved to Kate, a big grin on her face.
"Max? .. Max?" Kate responded. "Max it's really you!" Kate ran towards Max hugging her tightly.
Max's body stiffened and Chloe pried Kate off of her. "Alright alright, that's enough of that.."
"Chloe Elizabeth Price, are you jealous? How scandalous." Max said and busted out into laughter.
"Shut the fuck up Caulfield, I will END you."
Kate just smiled looking rather uncomfortable.
"Max where have you been? Everyone has been so worried.."
"I've been uh.. Sick."
"You look fine now..? Are you going to be in class today?"
"Uh.. No, Kate, I'm not.."
"Why?" Kate looked at Max concerned.
"Listen Kate, Max has some uh.. New-found 'allergies' to sunlight, if she leaves the dorms in the daytime she could have an uh.. "Allergic reaction and potentially die." Chloe uttered.
"Oh no.. That's awful.. Should I get you notes and books from the classes? And.. Tell the teachers..? "
"Yeah Kate, yeah that'd be awesome, thank you." Max responded.
"Okay." Kate replied with a smile. "Talk to you later then? Oh and feel better."
"Thanks Kate." Max smiled and hugged Kate again before she returned to her room.
Chloe and Max walked back into Max's dorm.
"Hey Chloe?"
Chloe gulped looking at Max. "Yeah Max?"
"I want to try and go outside."
"G-Go outside?! Like now?! Max you'll be burned alive!"
"I just.. I want to get out, I'm cooped up in a room all day, and the only interactions I've had with anyone has been you and Kate, I miss being outside in the daytime, besides, I'll just put on a bunch of clothes to protect my skin, and we can take an umbrella, sound good?"
I really don't know about this, as much as I'd love for Max to be outside, and happy I just don't want her to get hurt..
"Alright, but we are going to be EXTREMELY careful, no careless acts and no surprises, you need to realize that any small thing could get you killed Max."
"Okay okay I understand." Max said with a pout.
Chloe tugged at her clothes and placed a hand on the back of her neck. "I just... I care about you okay Max, is that what you want to hear? That I care about you?"
Max smiled and said "I know Chloe, I know."
Max walked over to Chloe and leaned up to kiss Chloe on the cheek.
Oh my god oh my god.. Max.. I..
Chloe blushed and looked away placing a hand on her cheek.
Max threw on a hoodie, pulling the hood over her head and grabbed a parasol handing it to Chloe.
"You want me to hold it?" Chloe inquired.
"Pretty please?" Max pleaded.
"Ugh, seriously fuck you and your irresistible eyes."
"Only if you ask nicely.." Max muttered under her breath with a smirk.
"What was that?" Chloe questioned Max.
"Nothing! Let's go!" Max responded pulling Chloe out the door.
When Max and Chloe stepped outside, Chloe opened the parasol and shaded Max.
"How ya feeling Max?"
Max grunted pushing her hands into the hoodie's pocket. "Warm, but okay."
"Well that's a given."
Max and Chloe walked out onto the campus and noticed Victoria and Nathan sitting on a bench chatting. Chloe didn't know much about Victoria or Nathan, they supposedly "Ran the school" but anytime Max spoke about them she spoke sweetly towards their existence, so they couldn't be all bad.
Max glanced over at Victoria, which caught her attention.
Victoria and Nathan got up and walked over to the pair.
"Maxine? Where have you been? You've missed class for almost a week. Everyone has been asking about you, Rachel included."
"Tori, come on, Max, not Maxine, please." Max hissed.
"Sorry Max, but seriously, where have you been?"
"Around."
"Not around enough, I haven't seen you, no one has, Warren has been driving up walls trying to figure out if you're okay. And what's with the get up and the escort?" Victoria pointed to Chloe.
Chloe rolled her eyes. "Just helping out a friend."
"Come on Max, let me see your pretty face." Victoria pleading and reaching for Max's hood.
Chloe instinctively grabbed Victoria by the wrist.
"HEY!" Nathan exclaimed.
Chloe almost instantly let go of Victoria's wrist. The Bluenette grunted and muttered. "I'm sorry just.. Don't do that."
"Alright jeez Punk ass, can you call off your dog Max?"
Chloe glared at Victoria.
"Come on Tori, you're better than that, Chloe just cares a lot, and she's protecting me, please lay off?" Max chuckled. "You better call yours off too." Max directed attention to Nathan.
Victoria immediately looked at Nathan and placed a hand on his shoulder. "I'm okay, it's okay Nathan."
"He cares, right?" Max said.
".. Yeah.." Victoria smiled.
"Where we headed Max?" Chloe inquired.
"Hm.. I haven't seen Joyce in a while.. Two Whales?"
Chloe smirked, "Sounds good, lets go."
Max grasped Chloe's hand and led her towards the parking lot when they were stopped by Warren.
"Max! There you are! I've been worried sick.. Where you been?"
"Er.. Sick Warren."
"You don't look so good.. Everything alright?"
"Yeah Warren, I'm great, just a bit sick still.."
"If you're sick you should be in bed, come on let's go back to your dorm.."
"Warren stop!" Max exclaimed pushing him to the ground.
Max stared at her hands. "Oh.. Warren, I'm so sorry."
"Ow.. Killer strength Max, didn't know you had it in you." Chloe was holding back laughter.
Max punched her in the side to get her to stop.
"FUCK." Chloe exclaimed before tumbling over. "What the FUCK Max, Ow god.."
"... Maybe... I should stop touching people.." Max said quietly.
Max pulled her hood to shadow her face more and picked up the fallen parasol. She walked over to Chloe who was still crumpled in pain, Max leaned down and picked Chloe up.
"Euh.. Warren, we gotta go.."
"Alright I guess.. See ya around" Warren responded.
"Are you okay to drive Chloe..?" Max asked with concern.
"Oh I don't know, ask the bruise on my side."
"Don't be like that Chloe.. I'm really sorry..."
"Good thing I'm tough." Chloe chuckled placing a hand over her bruised side.
"That's my Chloe." Max said with a smile.
"You owe me one for preventing you from getting killed multiple times today Caulfield."
"Alright.. What do I owe you then Price?"
Chloe thought for a moment. Hm.. I mean I could..
Chloe looked up at Max, cupped her face and then pressed their lips together.
They shared a passionate kiss before Chloe pulled away, a dorky smile drawn across her face.
"C-Chloe..?!" Is all Max managed to utter, her face completely red.
"Yess..?" Chloe responded with a chuckle.
Max looked away from her friend, "I hate you." She uttered.
Chloe slightly smiled. "You don't."
Max smiled and responded.
"I don't."
