Chapter Text
“You own this school, you could blow it up if you wanted to...” A young man was stood in the center of the bathroom
Prescott
The door to the bathroom opened again and a blue haired girl, “did you check the perimeter?”
Chloe... No... Max was hidden in her corner behind the stalls, slumped against the wall of the toilet stall hugging her knees
“You got hella cash” Max peeked around the edge of the stalls she was hidden behind and saw her blue-haired ex-best friend getting up in Nathan's face
Chloe, leave, please! Max found herself silently begging Chloe
“Don't tell me what to do!! I am fed up of people telling me what to do!!” Nathan was was up in Chloe's face, a gun in her gut
“What the hell are you doing?! Get that gun away from me, psycho!!” Chloe was no longer the badass punk, she was just a scared young woman being threatened by a madman with a gun. Please, don't let me die here, I don't wanna die in a bathroom!!
To Max, everything seemed to slow down. Even though she didn't make the conscious choice, she found herself on her feet and yelling to get Nathan's attention. “Nathan!! Nathan, stop!!” Max screamed.
Nathan spun around in shock and his finger squeezed the trigger in surprise.
BANG!!
“What the fuck?!” Upon hearing a shout and seeing a flurry of movement out of the corner of her eye, Chloe spun around and saw a brunette girl fall gracefully with a small red stain spreading rapidly from the left side of her chest. “Holy shit!!” Chloe exclaimed, she ran at Nathan and punched him as hard as she could to knock him out. Nathan groaned and immediately dropped down out cold. “Holy shit!” Chloe yelled again, moving to the downed brunette
Between the pained breathing and groans of pain, Chloe just about managed to catch a single hissed word amidst her pained hissing. “Chloe” Max spluttered the single word out, blood bubbling in the corner of her mouth
“What?!” Chloe moved the girl's arm since it had landed across her face and as a result was concealing it. Chloe froze in fear, immediately recognizing the girl’s face and beautiful blue eyes even though she hadn't seen her for five years. “Max!!” Chloe immediately teared up and pressed her hand on Max's bloodied shirt, trying to stop her losing any more blood. No! No! No!
The door slammed open and Chloe jumped into the air, spinning around half expecting Nathan to jump her again. “Chloe?!” David Madsen stood in the doorway, a look of shock on his pale face
“Step-shit!!” Chloe exclaimed, “He... He shot her...” Chloe was rambling, tears running down her face. “He... He shot M...Max” Chloe's hand was still pressed firmly on Max's chest in an effort to stop the bleeding.
“Nathan shot Max? Maxine Caulfield?” David moved closer to the worryingly still body. He placed his finger on her neck and moments later he shook her head. “I'm sorry, Chloe” David sighed, his head bowed
“Sorry?”
“She’s...”
“No, no she can't be dead!!” Chloe shouted, enraged
“I'm sorry, Chloe” David sighed. Even though Chloe had been attempting to stop Max's bleeding, she hadn't been able to stop the internal bleeding and most of Max's blood was sloshing around in her chest from a tear in her artery.
“No, Max!! Max!! Max!!!” Chloe screamed her agony
