Chloe's POV

I'll fucking kill Warren next time I see him. Why the hell did he kiss my girlfriend? He knew we are dating and he knew Max didn't like him the way he liked her! I'm so fucking pissed at him. He better hope he doesn't bump into me soon or else he'll regret it. Whatever.

Max and I sat on the couch and put in a movie. I look at Max as she blankly looks at the screen, down at her camera, then back at the screen again."You okay?"

Max is broken from thought, "Uh yeah yeah. I'm fine." She flashed a smile and turned back towards the tv.

I grab her shoulders and kissed her passionately. Max's face turns bright red and she finally smiles. I took her camera, held it up, and snapped a photo of Max smiling at me. Max giggled and snatched the photo from me. She looked down at it, smiling. She stared at it longer until the smile slowly wiped from her face. She was blankly looking at the picture. She put it in her bag and leaned on my chest, continuing the blankly stare at the screen now.

She's out of it. "Okay babe, you need to get out of here. Come on. I know a spot."

"Chloe it's totally cool if we just stay---"

"No. You need to get your mind off of things so we're gonna go somewhere and have a little fun." I turn off the tv, grab her hand, my car keys, and head out the door to my truck. As we're driving, Max blankly looks at the road, not saying a word. "Yo Max. What's going on?"

Max finally spoke after a while. "It's just Warren. Why would.... How.... I didn't---"

"Max. It happened. Just forget about it... I mean unless you liked it and wanna dump me for him then I could drop your ass off to Blackwell so you can suck---"

"CHLOE NO! I love you Chloe and you only. I'm just still in shock that he would pull such a dick move. I'm sorry Chlo."

"It wasn't your fault Max. You didn't see it coming... unless you did and you turned back time to let him kiss you because the first time you did see it coming and you dodged it and you wanted... fuck this power thing is hella confusing."

"Trust me Chlo. I didn't use my powers at all."

We pull up to the junkyard and get out of the car. I start to walk towards the back by the train tracks. Max followed me as she stared at the ground the whole time. We approach a little shack where I would hang out if step-prick was being an ass. Max takes a seat on a chair while I grab a couple of bottles. "Alright enough of this mopey crap, it's time to have fun." I hand her a bottle and she looks at it.

"Chloe I don't think this is a good idea."

"Max. You need this. I need this. WE BOTH HELLA NEED THIS."

Max takes the bottle and stares at it for a while. "Fuck it. Bottoms up." I was surprised at how fast Max chugged the bottle. I quickly drank mine trying to catch up. Max threw her bottle on the ground and looked at me like she wanted another one. I walk over to the box where I kept them and handed her another one. Max took the bottle, opened it and walked to the box. She chugged the second bottle and grabbed another one.

I quickly ran to her side and put my hand on the bottle and looked into her blue eyes. "Woah Max slow down. Okay maybe I planned for us to get a little buzzed, but not hella shitfaced."

Max smiled and held my hand, leaning closer to me to the point where our foreheads were touching each other. "You're driving." As much as I'm concerned for Max, she needs this so I just let it happen. 

I don't even remember how much Max drank but she drank enough her little body can handle I can tell. Max looked at me, and put her hands on my face. "Are you okay Mad Max?"

"I feel heavy. But happy. I feel like stage diving!" Max stumbled on her feet and put on some music on the stereo. Max hops up on a chair, almost falling off, and starts dancing. "Can't dance punk? Come on! I know you can shake that bony white ass of yours!"

I start dancing next to Max. Max hopped down from the chair and threw her arms around me. We started to slow dance around the little shack. Even though Max was fucked up and I was the only one that knew what was going on, I enjoyed the moment. Max eventually made it to the floor somehow and asked if we could go back to my place. I picked her up and cradled her in my arms like a child. I carried her all the way to my truck and placed her in, until we heard a noise. A car pulled up behind my truck. Who the fuck would be here right now? I turn to Max and she had the same worried look on her face. I told her to stay in the car because she was way to out of it to even walk. Max tried to stop me, but I told her that everything is going to be just fine and to have her power ready. I kissed Max and walked away from truck. I closed the door and turn towards the car behind us. 

The last thing I remember was a loud noise and Max's muffled screaming.
