When Chloe finished her cigarette, she tossed it to the ground and stomped on it with her boot.
After doing this, a familiar silhouette sidled up to her side and grasped her arm.
"You really shouldn't do that you know.. So bad for your lungs." Max said.
"I'm fine." Chloe retorted.
"Yeah tell me that when you're old with lung cancer and I'm visiting you in a hospital.." Max sighed.
"Dark.."
Victoria and Kate walked out of the dorm and approached Max and Chloe.
"Ready to go? Cause we're leaving." Victoria scowled.
Kate patted Victoria's shoulder trying to calm her down.
"Yeah, we're ready." Max responded.
"Alright let's go." Victoria walked off towards the parking lot, Kate on her arm.
Max grasped Chloe's hand and pulled her along following Victoria and Kate close behind.
When the four reached Victoria's car, Victoria hopped in the driver's seat, Kate in the passengers, and Chloe and Max made their way to the back seat.
"No back seat sex you two." Victoria retorted with a smirk.
"Wouldn't dream of it Tori, staining the back seat would cost us a fortune that we don't have.."
"Better believe it."
Victoria started driving the car, and Max cuddled up to Chloe, laying her head on Chloe's shoulder.
She's never been this affectionate.. It's cute.. She's cute.. It kind of makes me forget about this whole vampire thing.. But damn I'm so tired.. Having that nightmare made it feel like I didn't sleep at all..
Chloe yawned.
Don't be a wimp Chloe, come on, it's obvious Max has feelings for you, man up, tell her you love her..
When they arrived at the theater the four jumped out of the car.
Chloe walked over to Max, and placed a hand on her lower back, pulling their bodies closer.
"Max..?" Chloe uttered.
"Hm..?" Max said with a smile.
"I love you."
With that, Chloe pulled Max in for a tender kiss.
Max blushed and smiled like a dork.
Fangs, watch out for the fangs..
"Uhm, Hello? We still have a movie to see. Let's go." Victoria hissed.
"Sorry." Chloe responded, pulling Max towards the theater.
The four ordered their tickets and snacks and headed towards the theaters.
"Theater 7.." Kate uttered. "There!" She pointed.
They made their way to their seats and sat down.
Chloe glanced over at Max and started kissing her neck.
Max gently pushed her away and giggled.
"C-Chloe stop..~ You know I'm sensitive there.."
Chloe ignored her and continued until a man behind them kicked Chloe's chair.
"Get a room you fucking fags."
Chloe scowled and nearly got up from her seat when Max placed a hand on her shoulder and said "Chloe, shh.. It's alright, just let it go.."
By the time the movie finished, Kate was curled up into a ball in her seat, terrified.
"I-Is it over..?" She muttered.
Victoria ran her hand through Kate's hair sweetly. "Yeah.. It's over." She cooed.
Chloe glanced over at Max who was pacing in place.
"Little too much energy?" Chloe asked.
"Yeah. I think so Chlo." Max responded.
"Hey, Victoria? Could you get us home? Max needs some uh.. Medicine."
"Is she okay?" Kate looked towards Chloe with bright eyes.
Chloe gulped. "Y-Yeah! She'll be fine we just.. Need to get back to the dorm soon, cool?"
"Yeah yeah, alright, let's go then." Victoria retorted.
While in the car, Max was extremely jittery and tapping her fingers and feet.
They were passing by the beach when Max looked over at Chloe and uttered "Sorry" under her breath before jumping out of the moving car.
"MAX?!" Chloe immediately jumped out after her.
Victoria and Kate's faces went white, Victoria looked for an appropriate place to turn the car around.
Chloe jumped up after Max and wrapped her arms around her, tumbling to the ground.
"What.. The fuck... Were you thinking..?" Chloe uttered.
"I.. I'm sorry Chloe I just.. I felt my predatory instinct coming on and.. and.."
"And..?"
"I didn't want to hurt you okay?!" Max choked on her words, holding back tears.
Chloe paused for a second before letting go of Max and falling onto her back.
"Chloe..?" Max looked at her concerned.
"You're a handful Caulfield, you really are, but I love you, and I'd do anything to protect you."
Max sat down next to Chloe. "But.. What if I'm the thing that hurts you..?"
"You won't." Chloe uttered.
"You don't know that."
"It won't happen Max.."
"Hey Che..?"
"Hm?"
"I love you too.."
Victoria and Kate came running towards the two soon after.
"Max?! What the hell?!" Victoria shouted. "You could've gotten seriously hurt!"
"You're not hurt.. are you Max..?" Kate asked
Max looked over at Chloe concerned.
"I think you should tell them Max.." Chloe uttered.
Max looked up at Victoria and Kate.
"Tell us what..?" Kate asked.
"..I don't think you'll believe me.." Max said quietly.
"Just.. Just tell us." Victoria said. "We're worried about you, and what you just pulled was so reckless, it's not like you Maxine.."
Max paused.
"Kate.. Remember that night at the Vortex Club Party? You said I wasn't acting like myself and you brought me back to me dorm? ..Well.. That night I think something happened.. And.. I.."
Max choked on her words.
"Well?" Tori inquired.
"I think I got turned into a vampire.."
Victoria chuckled. "A vampire? Don't be ridiculous Maxine, come on, you're delusional let's go back to your dorm, you need rest. " Victoria reached out towards Max.
"No! Don't touch me! I.. Knew you wouldn't believe me, fuck.."
"Hey." Chloe chimed in, lifting her shirt to reveal the large bruise Max left on her side.
"A bruise? So what?" Tori said.
"Max gave me this, and she pushed Waldo on his ass, she has super strength now." Chloe looked over to Max. "Max, lift me up, show them."
Tori chuckled again. "No offense Chloe, but you're kind of large compared to petite Maxi-"
Victoria's sentence was cut off by amazement as Max lifted up Chloe with no struggle.
"P-Pure coincidence!" Tori uttered.
"Do you really want to go back to her dorm and see the dead animal corpses? She's predatory, she uses them to feed."
Kate gagged.
"Sorry Kate.." Max uttered.
"Look at this." Chloe unraveled the bandages that were wrapped around her hand revealing the two punctures. "Looks a lot like fangs huh Miss Doubts-a-lot."
Chloe reached up and opened Max's mouth gingerly. "Look Victoria! This is real! .. Sorry babe.." Chloe said and pulled her hand out of Max's mouth.
"I.. How.. How is this even possible?" Victoria uttered.
"We don't know Tori, that's what we're trying to figure out.." Max said.
Kate stood there in silence, looking as terrified as she was at the movie.
"B-But.. I'm still just Max Caulfield! I.. I haven't changed that much.." Max muttered.
Hey Max.. Mind putting me down?" Chloe said.
"I do mind, it's cute having you this close and vulnerable." Max giggled.
"V-Vulnera-" Chloe scowled and struggled before Max dropped her.
"Asshole." Chloe muttered.
Max looked over at Kate and Victoria.
"Are you guys okay..?"
Victoria rubbed her forehead and Kate remained silent.
Max grabbed her arm and swayed uncomfortably and insecure.
And you call me vulnerable.. Psh.
"I just.. I don't understand Max.. But I'll support you." Kate uttered finally.
Chloe stood up and brushed the sand off of her clothing. "Maybe we should head back to the dorms," Chloe looked at Max "And no jumping out of the fucking car this time okay?"
"Sorry Che, I understand."
"Yeah.. Let's go." Victoria said.
The four arrived back on campus and said their goodbyes.
Victoria quickly pulled Kate away towards the dorms.
Max sighed and looked at the ground.
Chloe placed a hand on her shoulder. "How you doing Mad Max?" She offered an apologetic smile.
"I think I really scared them.. That was bad.." Max muttered sounding upset.
Chloe kissed Max's forehead.
"Not everything will go as planned, but it's okay, you have me, I'll go to any end of the earth with you if we have to."
Max hugged Chloe tight and started to cry. "I'm sorry you have to put up with me.. With this.."
"If I only saw our relationship as 'Me putting up with you' I wouldn't stick around. You're amazing Max.. The most amazing person I know.. We should probably go back to your dorm."
Just then Chloe's phone rang. "Sup?" She answered.
"Chloe? This is your mum, where have you been all this time?"
"Sorry mom, hanging with Max, she's been sick, I'm alright though."
"You're not causing any trouble are you?"
"Why? Did Sergeant Pepper ask?"
"He asked about you, but not if you were making any trouble."
"Well.. I'm fine, no trouble, just with Max, kay?"
"Well alright.. But when will you be home?"
"Dunno. Bye mom!"
Chloe sighed. "Yeah, okay, back to the dorms." She grasped Max's hand and led her back towards the dorms and walked inside.
"Max!" A voice called out.
"Fuck Max, are you friends with everyone?" Chloe muttered.
"Aw.. Che are you a little bit jealous?" Max giggled.
Chloe turned away resiliently. "No.."
"It's just Dana, wait here okay? I'll be right back, or you could go to my dorm and lay down if you want?"
"Yeah fine whatever, go chat it up with Dana." Chloe walked off and entered Max's dorm.
Fuck Chloe, come on, Max is sorta your girlfriend now.. Don't be such an asshole just because she has friends other than you.. Ugh idiot!
Chloe laid down in Max's bed and waited for her to return.
Max returned and was persistent to get Chloe to get up.
"Chloe! Come on! The night is still young! Let's do something!"
Max paused and climbed into her bed next to Chloe and started kissing her neck.
"Watch it Caulfield." Chloe muttered.
"Oh come on, don't you trust me Che?"
Max ran her hand down Chloe's side, causing Chloe to tense up.
Chloe sat up and got on top of Max, pinning her wrists to the bed.
Max looked up at Chloe and blushed, grinning at her determination.
Chloe leaned down and began kissing and biting Max's neck
Max let out a small gasp.
She ran a hand up to Max's breast and gently squeezed it.
Chloe pulled Max's shirt over her head, throwing it to the floor
Chloe began trailing her lips down Max's body, reaching her stomach.
The Bluenette tugged at Max's jeans as she sat on her knees, pulling off her own shirt.
She leaned back down to Max's stomach and began kissing again, while she ran a hand over Max's 'flower'
"Oh Chloe~" Max moaned.
"So, is this the princess' first deflowering?" Chloe asked with a chuckle.
"Oh my god Chloe, just shut up." Max responded with a giggle.
"Aw come on." Chloe sat up. "I'm serious Max, it's been 5 years, and I was just trying to find the easiest way of asking if you're a virgin, so.. Are you?"
"Are you?" Max asked flustered.
"I asked you first." Chloe said.
"S-So?"
"No, I'm not Max."
"Oh.."
Chloe looked away uncomfortably.
"I mean.. Max.. It was 5 years, you were gone and I was.. I was really alone, I tried my hand at a few people, I'm not going to lie, but being back here with you is something I wouldn't trade for the world.. I really love you Max.."
Max was silent.
Chloe made eye contact with Max, looking concerned.
"Are you okay Max?"
Max let out a hardy chuckle. "I just.. I can't imagine someone else.. making love to you.. I-I mean it's not meant to be a bad thing I just.." Max grabbed her arm and looked away. "I feel a little bit.."
"Jealous? Yeah, tell me about it, you got Blackwell bros and hoes all over you, and.." Chloe huffed. "Sometimes I don't feel good enough I guess.."
"Chloe.." Max leaned up and cupped Chloe's face. "Of course you're good enough.. I get it that I'm friends with a lot of people at Blackwell, but I don't love any of them like I love you, I promise.."
Chloe smiled. "Maybe we're not ready for this yet.. Maybe we should wait until we're both just a little bit more comfortable.."
Max ran a hand through Chloe's hair. "I think that's good, why don't we just lay down for a while?"
Chloe curled up beside Max and Max laid down next to her.
Chloe wrapped her arms around Max.
"I'd like that."
Author's note: Aah I'm so sorry for the delay, I've had some stuff going on, and since school is starting up again soon I'm going to have less and less free time so the next chapter might be even more delayed, but at least this one is a lot longer than the previous so hopefully that makes up for it.
Also thanks so much for everyone who has been reading and keeping up with my story, it really means the world to me and it makes me so happy! Thank you all~
