Stranger: Sorry don't know her
You walk over to the bar
Max: Hey Sam you seen Chloe
Sam: What
Max: Chloe the blue haired pirate
Sam: Sorry dude didn't see a blue haired pirate...
Max: You know her she designed that fly... er
Y/N: Wait that isn't
You look at where Max is looking but the flyer Chloe made isn't the same its not the one Chloe made
Max: CHLOE!
Y/N: Shit no please no.. PRICE!
Lady: Hey are you both okay
Max: Chloe Chloe!
Lady: Is Chloe your friend
Y/N: CHLOE!
Tammi: Hold it folks, make room down there
Dwight: Max, Y/N are you okay
Dex: Shit are they alright
Max: Tammi we lost Chloe, she was here and-
Tammi: Chloe, Chloe Price your guys friend from Arcadia Bay
Max: YES!
Y/N: Yeah her Tammi
Pixie: Max, Y/N... you know that Chloe is dead right
Your body falls limp as you look up to the ceiling
Chloe: MAX, Y/N! You two okay you both collapsed
Y/N: Price... is that you
Chloe: Who else would it be
Max: Chloe, oh god Chloe you're here
Chloe: Of course I'm here guys were all here... okay now its my turn to make a decision, I don't what's going on with you Max and now Y/N but... we're going back to Arcadia Bay!
One Day Later
You: (It's weird I know we've been living in Seattle at Max's parents house for almost a year after that tornado hit the Bay, we found friends in The High Seas crew but we're still so far apart from each other at the same time, then we get those damn invitations to that Prescott ceremony in the Bay but none of us really want to go back there after what happened especially Max I think she still blames herself for what happened... and don't even get me started on that weird stuff that happens one second Chloe's says something but another second things change or just Max changes I don't understand this at all time is fucking confusing my head, did I lose my powers... no because I saw what Max saw too unless I'm in the process of losing them, God I don't know what to believe anymore or what to think for that matter now)
You look over to Max whos fidgeting with Chloe's bobblehead
Y/N: I'm surprised this old rust bucket still works Price
Chloe: I know it's a miracle... Max stop bullying the bobblehead, if your hands need to be doing something so badly take up smoking or something
Y/N: Chloe that is the literally the worst advice you could give a person
Max: Yeah no way for me, experience has told me that smoking is definitely bad for health and sanity... and it's gross, sometimes I do think taking photos was as much about having something to do with my hands as it was anything else, though
Chloe: So take a picture you seemed to be managing with Tammi and the crew
Max: You know I can't, Pixie, Dex and the others they were removed from everything else that happened it felt easier, me holding a camera up to life now, it's like... I don't have the right
Chloe: Gotta decide if that camera of yours is gonna be a shield or a sword
Y/N: Woah that was real poetic there Price, Tammi would love that
Chloe: When we see her again maybe I will
Max: Why is that so hard to imagine right now
Chloe: Going back to Seattle you mean
Max: We're not even at Arcadia Bay yet... and I feel like we won't ever leave it again
Y/N: Yeah I know the feeling Max
Chloe: It's just the weight of everything, this is gonna hurt but were all in it together
Y/N: Yeah together forever even fate can't hold us back
Chloe: Yep before we know it we'll be right back in denial fucking city and with our old friends well the ones left
Max: Please Chloe don't even
Chloe: Oh shit fuck!
Y/N: Calm yourself, now what is it Price
Chloe: Car trouble
Y/N: But its a truck
Chloe: Dude shut up
Y/N: Okay fine dude chill
You all get out as Chloe looks at the truck
Y/N: Guess I spoke to soon about that rust bucket, it survived a tornado but a little road trip is too much
Chloe: Fucking shit fuck!
Y/N: You know I just say oh dammit but not Price here
Max: So is it okay
Chloe: why sure Max trucks are meant to have smoke pouring out of its engine
Max: Geez I was just asking
Y/N: I think that's the problem
Max: Can we uh do anything to help
Chloe: Wind back time and tell me to fill up the oil... that was clearly a joke, and if you do I'll kick your ass
Max: Like I'd even, its like we said, life is what it is and we'll take it as it comes
Chloe: Right and yesterday was...
Max: A blip I don't know I've been fine since
Y/N: As have I but its just so confusing
Max: You know Chloe I think your right about all the stress of it all, seeing the news the invites, this trip the closure I think it'll help it'll hurt but it'll help, I promise we didn't jump
Chloe: I believe you... you're not nearly brave enough to like to me again nerd... I'm pretty sure I have a spare oil can in here somewhere I'll need to let the engine cool for a bit though
Y/N: Yeah your right we need to let the car cool down so you can put the blinker fuel in
Chloe: What
Y/N: I don't know James always talked about blinker fuel I don't know what it is and when I asked a mechanic he just laughed at me
Chloe: You're so stupid, I can't believe you own a car
Y/N: Well unlike you my car was destroyed in a storm Price, I loved that thing... now all I have is a piece of junk I bought for twelve hundred dollars
Chloe: Man you know nothing about cars... Okay you stupid beastie metal piece of junk we've done the whole my truck is a metaphor for my life thing routine before... its getting so old
After some time you all get back on the road
Max: Chloe I was thinking about closure for you over your mother, I know there's so much to face when we get back there, but i think we should prioritize-
Chloe: No... she's gone just like dad is gone, its like you said they're all gone now right, we're coming back to get you better, that's it
Y/N: Come on Price we all need closure
Chloe: What about you and the Ambers then, I know what they did was messed up but they raised you
Y/N: I'll get closure when the time comes
Chloe: Then quit trying to psychoanalyze me, if you're not even ready to get closure yourself... Fuck the subtlety of it all!
Y/N: Arcadia Bay one year on, restoration funded by the Nathan Prescott foundation
You all get out to see construction workers everywhere in the middle of reconstructing homes and other buildings you all continue walking through the town
Y/N: Hey its dear, isn't that your spirit animal you said Max
Max: I uh... you all see that
Y/N: Yeah the dear
Max: I thought only I could
Y/N: What do you mean Maximus
Max: Nothing
Chloe: Ugh new residents already, shoo Bambi, of course I see it Max, it a fricking dear they're kind big
Y/N: Price they're dear chill
Chloe: Look even though they're cute their predators are less so... where dear roam, bears roam... shit I think Step douche told me that
Y/N: You're still calling him step douche Price
Max: Y/N, Chloe I don't know what I'm feeling I can't I can't take this in
Max falls to her knees
Y/N: Max come on its going to be okay just get up... Max
Chloe: Max look I'm going repeat something to you what you said to me so many times when we first left, we don't know, we can't possibly know for sure we caused this storm, we know some crazy shit happened, we know you won't let that crazy shit happen again, we know that I am here, we know that there was a storm that's it, you can't shoulder it all I can't, we can't, to believe that our shitty personal lives can cause destruction on this level is narcissism, drop the thought know
Max: I know...
Y/N: Woah Chloe I guess she really needs her bestie not me...
She gets up and starts walking towards the dinner
Chloe: Max...
Y/N: Maximus hold up
Chloe: Max!
She walks into the broken down diner
Y/N: Max stop that doesn't look sturdy!
Chloe: Max! Get out of there it might not be safe!
You both run in the diner after her
Y/N: MAX!
Chloe: Max I know I'm usually the rebel, but I don't think we should be in here!
You both grab Max
Y/N: Holy hell!
Chloe: What the actual
Max: Y/N, Chloe
You look in front of you seeing a completely restored Two Whales Diner and Dana with a baby
Dana: How's Rachel doing Y/N is she lighting up Broadway like she always said
Y/N: Rachel she's... she
Chloe: Rachel...
Dana: Oh yah Chloe, your mom just popped to the back to get some more eggs, but she'll be happy to see your back
Chloe: My Joyce... mom
Dana: You do only have the one mom, I assume I'm guessing that's why you're here, not to see me, still I'm glad I bumped into you Max... call me Max
Joyce: Chloe, Chloe you're home... young lady, get over here and give me a damned hug
Chloe: Mom!
Then the hallucination all disappears and the diner is trashed again
Chloe: MOM, MOM!
Y/N: Price are you
Max: Chloe...
Chloe: You might both think I'm going insane but... I think my mom was here
Max: Chloe you saw the diner, you both saw Dana
Chloe: Dana Ward yeah I remember her, I never remember her having a kid though, wait was that all real
Max: Do you understand what happened
Y/N: Max your nose its bleeding again
Chloe: Max are you positive you're are not jumping
Max: But what you just saw that's been happening a lot, Y/N's seen it
Y/N: Yeah I've seen some of these things but not all of them
Construction Worker: HEY YOU THREE GET OUT OF THERE!
Y/N: Damn we got so busted
You all step out
Construction Worker: Most of the structures are off limits, its not safe
Chloe: Whatever!
Y/N: Its okay we understand
Max: Yeah we're sorry ma'am we just wanted to see it
You and Chloe walk away as they talk to Max
Y/N: Price are you good, I'm so out of it now... I don't understand any of this
Chloe: Just give me a moment
Max: Look I'm sorry I didn't tell you about the visions
Chloe: Guys I...
Max: Talk to us Chloe please are you pissed at me
Chloe: IT NOT ALWAYS ABOUT YOU!
Max: I...
Chloe: I mean... fuck, sorry
Y/N: Look its been hella crazy were all worked up right now its okay Chloe
Chloe: Its just that was my mom in there guys, I heard her voice I nearly saw her... but she wasn't real, was she because she's... just like Dana, just like everyone else
Max: I don't know it's real when I see them
Y/N: But isn't real its fake and we have to accept that
Chloe: Look guys I don't have a fucking clue what's going on, but I think I need to go home
Max: To Seattle
Chloe: No
You all walk to Chloe's house then enter its remains
Y/N: Price you sure you want to be here
Chloe: Yeah I'm sure, just tell me if, like my hair turns an unfashionable color
Y/N: I mean I wouldn't say green is a fashionable color... I'm just kidding Price
Chloe: So what if something in you is like giving me a chance to say goodbye to mom, just like you helped me with Rachel maybe, I dunno it sounds stupid to say it out loud, I mean when we saw those posters on the way here change... what did that have to do with mom, or any of us, can poster have ghosts
Y/N: Well apparently now they can have ghost... man what I'd do to have a normal life with a functioning family
Chloe: You and me both
You look over to see Max grabbing her head
Y/N: Max shit it happening again I think
Max: I don't think so you both look the same
Y/N: Wait we change when you have these flashes
Max: Yeah like different clothes or whatever... wait guys its happening
Chloe: Huh wait... give me your hand Max maybe it's hands grab her hand Y/N
Y/N: Wow romantic
Chloe: Just do it
Your eyes widened as you see Joyce and the normal not destroyed Price house
Max: Joyce
Y/N: Mrs. Madsen
Chloe: Where is she I can't see her!
Joyce: Maxine, Y/N oh sorry I didn't hear you both come in, you want a drink or something
You see a Newspaper clipping that say "Nathan Prescott arrested for the murder of Chloe Price"
Y/N: Oh no
Max: No!
Chloe: What's happening I can't see anything!
Joyce: No, I don't blame you, I can't stomach a thing either it doesn't feel like a year
Max: Joyce do you see Chloe
Joyce: I see her everywhere Max, everyday
Y/N: Oh no Max
Chloe: Who are you talking to Max is it her, why can't I hear her
Max: But you don't see her now right now
Y/N: Max stop she can't
Joyce: Now Max enough Max, I don't believe in ghosts, but if she were one this would be the last place she'd be hanging out, I think
Chloe: I don't see her! I don't see her at all! godammit why can't I see her!
Max: Joyce
Max grabs her head in pain and Chloe crawls in ball crying
Joyce: Max are you okay
Y/N: Max!
Chloe: Why can't I see her, why can't I hear her! FUCK!
Max: Wait... this might sound crazy but has there been a storm, this past year, a big storm birds on the ground whales on the beach
Joyce: Max, I... what on Earth are you talking about
Y/N: A storm she means like after Chloe passed away
Chloe: After I...
Joyce: Look I love you like a daughter Max, you were a good friends to Chloe at different times, but I can't deal with right now, of course there's not been a storm, you've only have to look outside of the windows, come on now David should be here any minute with the car, Chloe would disown me if I was late to her anniversary
Chloe: Max, Y/N... tell her I'm sorry tell her... I love her
Y/N: Joyce I just want you to know Chloe helped me out of a very dark part of my life when I felt like the entire world was out to get me and it'd never get better but she was there for me when no else was she was my best friend
Joyce: She was a very good but just didn't show it
Make grabs Joyce hugging her
Max: Chloe loved you so much, she always wanted for you to be happy
Joyce: I love her too, I'll always love her, whether I can see her or not
Then the vision disappear
Max: She's... she's gone
Chloe: I... thank you, thank you both...
Max: Hey Chloe I... I don't think that was... the fix
Y/N: MAX!
You grab Max as she falls in your hands
Y/N: Shit she passed out... Chloe can you
You look at her and see her broken
Y/N: Damn
You pick up Max by her shoulder and slowly but steadily bring her to Chloe's room and set her down on the bed then walk downstairs to see Chloe
Y/N: Chloe are you okay... I brought Max up to your room, funny enough your beds still intacted and in decent shape...
You walk away from her and put your head against the wall completely frustrated
Y/N: What am I supposed to do Chloe's a mess right now and Max is completely out... do I check on Max or stay down here dammit Chloe helped me with my problems when I had them but why don't I know who to help her... (Sighs) Maybe I should just give her some space for now
You walk upstairs to Chloe's room and sit on the bed with Max
Y/N: I don't know why I could of just had a normal life, everything is so messed up now
You sit there for a while until Chloe finally comes up
Y/N: Hi
Chloe: Yeah
Y/N: Look I'm going to go look around a bit call me if Max wakes up or anything happens Price
Chloe: Okay...
You walk downstairs and out of the house looking at all the old neighborhood that once was you keep walking until your feet stop and you see a sign at a torn up house
Y/N: The Ambers... the last thing I said to James was I am Rachel's brother I care for her and it was something he should of done more... besides that weird alternate timeline bullshit of course
You step inside the house
Y/N: Last time I was here was that timeline crap... but before that it was sophomore year Eliot broke into my house and attacked me I left the Bay shortly after that
You enter James office and look through all the stuff that's mostly detroyed and you see it a bottle of Sherry in his desk completely fine just dusted over
Y/N: Heh... that's ironic
You start dying of laughter you fall on the ground
Y/N: That's great it really us...
You grab the bottle and twist the cap off
Y/N: To Rose and James not best parent's but not the worst either
You take a sip of it
Y/N: Not bad James... not bad dad, not bad... I loved you and you fucking lied to me why, why dad why dammit fucking why... this damn house meant nothing for me being in a rich family I was always so sad nobody wanted to be the rich kids friend they thought I was piece of shit like dad huh, I got great grades, didn't get in any fights, never messed around in school, but I had a partying problem okay I smoked pot all the time and drank at parties because my life was... it was depressing then you'd always compare me to Rachel how she was Mrs. Perfect and I was your failure but I wanted your approval I wanted
