Chloe's P.O.V

   I was standing by the school doors, typing a text two Max. 'There finished.' I thought, sending the text. It was only a few seconds before I got a reply. 'No, I just want to say something. I wanted to say, goodbye, and... and thank you for all the good times and even the bad times. Thank you so much. And... I love you Chloe. Don't forget me, and... forgive me.'

  I stared at the text shocked. 'Holy shit, Max!' I thought calling her. She didn't pick up. "Shit, shit, shit!" I yelled running toward her dorm. I was almost there when I heard a gunshot. 'No...' I thought running inside. "Max!" I yelled as I busted into her room. 'Oh... oh god no.. please.'

   She was laying there, on her bed, gun in her hand, blood pooling around her. "Chloe..." she sputter blood coming up as she talked. "Max, why would you do this?!" I yelled as I rushed over to her. She tried to get up but I pushed her back down. "Stay still."

  I scanned over her looking for the bullet wound. 'Fuck... where the hell is it... there it is.' I put pressure on it. She looked ready to scream, but it was obvious that she couldn't. With my other hand I dialed nine-one-one. "Hello, this is nine-one-one, what is you emergency?"

   "My friend has shot herself. We are at Blackwell Academy, the girl dorm." I stated, my voice wavering. "Alright miss, medics will arrive in about ten minutes." She mutter typing something. 'Ten minutes is too long.' I thought. "Can they get here any faster?" I asked.

   She sighed and whispered "No, they can't. I'm sorry. Please stay on the line miss." She sounded apologetic in a way. "Fuck this shit." I muttered and ended the call. The medics will be here too late. I need to call someone closer. Someone who could deal with this. I looked at Max, she was beginning to pale. I looked at my phone. A sudden idea came to mind. David.

   I stated to dial his number. Gritting my teeth I hit call. I may not like this idea, but its all I got at this point. He didn't answer. 'When I need you most...' I thought looking back at Max. "Chloe. I'm sorry. Forgive me."

  "Max why would you do this? Why?" I asked tears coming to my eyes. She looked at me, her face kind of slacking. "I... can't do this anymore Chloe, I can't see you die over and over again. I'm sorry." More blood came out of her mouth. I took her hand. "Don't leave me Max. Please. You're my sunshine. My ray in the dark. Please. Oh god Max please... I..." I couldn't finish my sentence. She frowned and looked my in the eye.

   "Chloe, if I could go back I would, but I... I'm to weak now. I'm sorry. Even if I tried... I wouldn't get back far enough, and I would still be the same as I am now. I can't fix this." She took small labored breaths.

   I tightened my grip on her hand, crying harder. "Max, please hold on." She smiled and put the gun down. "I- I don't think I can anymore, but Chloe. I want to do one more thing, before I go." She said. I nodded. "Anything." Her smile dropped from her face.

   "Chloe, I want to kiss you. One more time. Please?" I looked at her shocked. "O-o-of course." I smiled. She tried to  get up, but only got about half way. I met her there. The kiss felt urgent, but I couldn't help but notice the softness of her lips.

   Suddenly Max fell back, gasping for breath, smiling. "Thanks Chloe. I needed that. I love you... so... much." I smiled weakly. "Ditto." Suddenly I felt her grip loosen. Her smile faded, and the life slipped from her eyes. "Max... Max please..."

   I felt tears come to my eyes. She was gone. I closed her eyes, and cried. "I love you Max. I love you, and I always will." Suddenly David and paramedics came in. David pulled me away from her. "No! I have to stay with her! Let me go! Let me go!" I screamed.

   David pulled me farther back. "Chloe, calm down. They are going to save her. You have to let them save her." He said his voice calm and cool. "I tried to push him away. I screamed and kicked until finally I gave up and began sobbing on the floor. Finally my tears overwhelmed me. I blacked out.
