The Guilt

Chapter 1

Chloe's POV

When the tornado clears up and the skies are blue again we are sitting on the wet grass hugging our knees. I get up and look at Max "hey Max.. come on.." she doesn't respond and just looks down, I eventually bend down and pick her of the ground. She stumbles into me so I sigh and pick her up 'her legs are probably numb from not moving for about and hour and a half' I think to myself, "Max can you please say something?" I begin walking slowly down the hill as she still doesn't say anything.

When we get to my truck which survived somehow with only a few scratches and dents I open the passenger side and put Max in then close the door and walk to the drivers seat and get in. I start to drive out and when we get to a road I see all the damage the tornado caused, I look over at Max who is looking out the window and I can see tears streaming down her face.

"Maxie.." she looks at me and she sobs. I drive a bit more until we get to a forest area with no buildings around and I park, "Max come here.." I unbuckle my seat belt and turn to her when she scoots closer and hugs me tightly. "sh sh sh... it's okay" I pull her close to me and wipe her tears, "C-Chloe" Max's voice is like a whisper but it's raspy from her not talking in like 4 hours, "I'm right her Max.. don't worry" she lies her head on my shoulder as she falls asleep.

Max's POV

I fight of the urge to sleep because I know what's going to happen but it's to power full so it takes over and I fall asleep on Chloe's shoulder. When I 'wake' up I'm in Blackwell and everybody is surrounding me saying stuff like "how could you let us die" "you are so selfish Max" I try to back up but there is a wall which is stopping me and they are all getting closer "you sacrificed a whole town for one girl" "Chloe isn't worth it" I cry and scream "Leave me alone! Chloe is worth it" I pull my knees to my chest and sob when I hear a familiar voice.

"Max!" "Max please wake up please! I notice it's Chloe and I try to get up or do anything but it's useless but when I feel a pinch on my arm I jolt up. I see Chloe looking at me with concerned and scared eyes, I wipe my forehead which is drenched in sweat and my eyes sting from the tears. "C-Chlo-" before I can finish I get into a coughing fit, "hey hey calm down you okay.. I'm here now"

I sync my breathing up with Chloe's and try to stop crying but it's not working "did you have a nightmare?" Chloe says and pulls me close, I nod and I hold onto her soaked shirt. "Wanna talk abo-" before she finishes I let out a scared whine and shake my head rapidly, "okay okay just calm down okay?" I nod slightly and lean into her "I'm not leaving you Max you're safe"
