a pause in time

afterwards

it's been a week since Arcadia Bay was ruined, everyone and everything was gone. Except for Chloe and Max and their love.
Chloe and Max had left their place and moved to Ale's Bay. Max has been feeling awful though, not for her selfish desire of keeping Chloe but for everything she caused made her existence seem almost worthless. She was laying in bed, and Chloe approached her and laid next to her, then she got close so she could hug Max, and be in her arm and put her legs wrapped around Max's. Chloe was thinking hard on what to say then she said this
"Hey...Max look I know you feel miserable after everything that has happened... I mean." Chloe was struggling with what to say,
Max turned her body the other way so she didn't have to look Chloe and she curled her body into a ball.
Chloe started her statement again, "I get it Max at this point your like hella super sad, but please don't let that stop us from having fun... it's been a week since we've gotten a fresh new start let explore this place and have some fun like we use to!"
Max got up and out of her ball shape form and sat down instead, she didn't reply at first and she seemed so sad as if she was about to cry, Chloe just then hugged her gently and allowed Max to bury her head onto Chloe's chest while hugging Max gently pinned Chloe back on the bed and while laying on top of Chloe. Chloe was stroking Max hair, and slowly Max got her words out,
"Your right, let's do something fun before feel even more shitter"
Max gave a quick peck on Chloe's cheek.
The two finally stood up and Chloe looked at Max, she smiled
then she pressed Max cheek together by squishing them.
"StOP-uH!!"  Max said.
Chloe replied "okay but I'm hella excited for what I have plan lets go!"
"Yeah, and hey I didn't say you had to stop with kissing me." Said Max
The love birds looked into each other eyes and smiled and had another long passionate kiss. And was off in Chloe's truck for another some what of an adventure.
