Is This My Price ?

Moonlight

( WARNING: this is life is strange, which of course means cursing involved! Mainly  Chloe 😒 ) 

It was a humid summer night in Arcadia bay, the moon was full and shinning , A gentle breeze could be felt . Max couldn't sleep due to it and neither could Chloe... So they decided to make the best of it and take a little stroll out in the towns backwoods. Hoping it would tire themselves out. Chloe walked a few feet ahead of max, her hands were shoved in her pockets and her shoulders were slumped back,indicating she was feeling pretty calm and lazy. 

Max was two feet behind her, walking with her arms gently swinging at her sides,her eyes were mostly on the ground occasionally they'd drifted to the blue haired beauty . The brunette couldn't help but to smile, Chloe was always so....cool. The entire indie look completed her personality, which made her all the more admiring ! Sometimes she wondered how she and Chloe even became friends in the first place.....but ultimately she was glad they did. 

Max didn't realize how long she was starring,but it soon turned into a trance... Currently she was admiring her friends hair and tattoos when the punk decided to speak up. Much to maxs's embarrassment . " hey hippie! You good back there?....you're awful quiet..." Her voice was raised a bit ' probably because she thought I was behind or something...' Blushing a tad bit, max cleared her throat and straightened her posture " im good,just enjoying the Quiet atmosphere...." she said with a nod. ' im definitely enjoying more than just the atmosphere....god max your so gay! ....' She felt like face palming right then and there. 

She didn't know if her friend caught on, but she saw Chloe smirk , it was faint ,she only saw the corner of it. But she swore Chloe new what she actually meant, which.....was going to get on her conscious the whole next day.  ' great going max....could've just said ' I'm good ' but no! Did you forget who chloe is?! ERGH! ' Max glared at the ground at that thought .

Speeding up, Max was now beside the punk who just gave her a soft smile, the ones that always tended to send butterflies fluttering around in her stomach. It made her remember that one timeline, the one where she kissed Chloe as a goodbye.... It still didn't fix things. She missed Chloe so much after that...she couldn't bare it. So ...she went back into a photo she took of Chloe while she was dancing on her bed. That fifth week in a row....she dealt with sacrificing Acadia bay. She just couldn't live without her! Besides,its been a month after that and the town nearly looked as if nothing ever happened! And...now she was in a trance again. Oh great.

This time Chloe really noticed because her face turned soft, blue eyes seeming to admire max back,only for her to smirk afterwards and give a gentle huff . " you're starring again max " this was in a teasing tone of course, but it still managed to fluster the photographer. This caused her to turn beat red only to snap out of her entranced state with a jump " oh shit!! Shitshitshit! Imsosorry! " the brunette covered her face once she stopped walking. 

Her vision was blocked but her ears weren't, chloe was laughing at her. But it wasn't the bully type of laugh it was more of a understanding one. It still made her feel like absolute garbage. Max didn't dare remove her hands, she was too afraid and embarassed to look at Chloe, but her troubles were eased once felt her hands on her shoulders. Both thumbs caressing either side in an attempt to get her to calm down. " hey.... You don't need to apologize, just messing with ya. " with that Chloe grabbed the photographers wrists and gently drug her hands down. 

That's when the two locked eyes, blue starred into blue. It felt like an eternity, A peaceful and blissful eternity . The butterflies in max's stomach soon grew into a fire...warm and fast spreading. It spread to her chest, throat and finally face, Chloe on the other hand had a similar affect. Her heart was pumping fast and her thoughts were being clouded by only max herself. Both of them were on fire, not even the nights breeze could make a difference .It was numb against their skin. ' fuck it....no turning back now...' Chloe thought with a mental smile.
