Hey guys sorry for the wait this chapter is really long! It didn't have that alcohol mention but I put the warning there anyway just in case, but this is DEFINITELY nsfw. I'm not sure how my smut writing is so let me know if you liked it. There is a blood mention and self harm/scars mention just for those people that get uncomfortable with that kinda stuff. Let me know how you enjoyed this chapter for more :)

I woke up with a bright ray of sunshine cast over my eyes. I had fallen asleep watching the beginning of some horror movie Chloe put on after Blade Runner. Not like I was fond of those types of movies anyway, I saved myself a few nightmares. I rubbed my eyes a bit trying to get the tired out of them. I moved my head and realized I had something a bit hard beneath my neck. I pivoted my head to my left and was greeted with Chloe's sleeping face. She had one arm under my neck and her legs were tangled loosely with mine. I smiled and turned my whole body, our faces close to each other. I cupped Chloe's face gently and rubbed her soft face with my thumbs. It was so much easier to confront her while she was asleep. Not in any bad way, but showing her affection was so hard to do when she was awake, and alert, and well… Chloe.

Content with my mild affection, I carefully pulled away and checked my phone.

7:45 AM.

I had a few minutes to get up, get dressed, and catch the bus back to my dorm to print out my essay. With that in mind, I stretched, picked up my clothes, and headed to the bathroom to freshen up.

I tidied my bedhead and brushed my teeth with the plethora of new tooth brushes Joyce kept around out of habit since we were little. I'd always forget mine. I washed my face, got dressed, and made my way back to Chloe's room. Chloe was still fast asleep, sprawled out starfish-style now that I wasn't there to hog up half the bed. I folded Chloe's borrowed clothes neatly and put them on her chair. An aching feeling in my chest was grounding me not to leave, I really didn't want to be apart from Chloe, but it was only going to be one day right? How bad could it be, I'd just have to focus on my school work and see when we can hang out again later. Without thinking, I quietly ran up near the side of Chloe's bed and leaned down slowly. Putting a piece of Chloe's ocean hair behind her ear, I kissed her cheek as a parting gift. I made sure I had everything that belonged to me and made my way downstairs and out the door, on my way to the bus stop.

. . . . .

It was now 8pm. I had spent all day printing out, and working on another assignment due before the Everyday Heroes Contest, Mr. Jefferson really knew how to drag a person down. I found it hard to concentrate, I hadn't heard from Chloe all day. I thought she might be mad that I left without waking her up, but that wouldn't be a very Chloe thing to be mad about. I texted her again just in case.

Sent: Max

Hey are you alive? I called you like twice, I'm a bit worried. Text back when you can.

Sent at: 8:34 PM

I hit the send button and grumbled to myself. It wasn't like Chloe to not answer her phone, well especially not for me. My anxiety was making my head pound. Did she get caught up with Frank today? Did she get in an accident? Did she choke or fall down the stairs? All of the most illogical scenarios were piling up in my brain, anxiety is great.

I slouched into my chair and decided worrying wouldn't make her reply any faster. I grabbed my laptop and got comfy on my tiny bed. I popped in some earbuds and decided to watch some anime, like the loser I was.

4 episodes into my show, I thought I heard a feint knock. I took one earbud out and checked my phone out of habit, still no reply. Leaving it to my imagination I started to put my earbud in my ear before I heard a loud banging at my door that scared me shitless. Who was here this late? Victoria didn't have any beef with me lately so I highly doubted it was her. I sat there and listened again before it got louder and I heard a familiar voice.

"Max! I uh, you need to let me in."

Chloe was at my door. How did she even get into my dorm this late? Without thinking about it too much I opened the door.

"Shh, Chloe you can't be loud you'll wake everyone up." I opened the door as quietly as I could.

Chloe scratched the back of her head with bloodied knuckles. I accidentally let out a small gasp at the sight of fresh blood contrasting her white skin.

"Holy shit what happened? Come in but you have to be a bit quiet." I pulled Chloe into my dorm with a tug and she sat down at my desk chair. Chloe discarded her jacket and waited for me to sit somewhere, so I sat down on the bed. Chloe broke the silence first.

"Step-douche tested my patience today, so I took my anger out on anything I could down at the junkyard." Chloe looked down at her bloody hand and grasped it in pain. The sight of blood made me slightly uneasy, which wasn't a regular thing, but seeing someone you love bleed isn't a great feeling.

"Jesus Chloe, I thought you died. I'm glad you're here though…Did you want me to get something to wrap your hands up with?" I made my way off the bed and closer to Chloe, who stayed seated.

"Nah it's okay, It's not as bad as it looks, I just need a bit of water and something to wipe them down with." Chloe showed me her hand and I took a better look at the damage, she was right, it was just scraped with a few small cuts at most.

Chloe noticed I had taken her hand and very gently tugged me towards her body. She hugged my waist, her head at perfect boob-height. She nuzzled into my shirt and inhaled.

"Sorry I didn't message sooner. I know you were worried I just… Snapped. I wasn't really thinking today." She looked up at me with puppy eyes. I ruffled her hair, took a step back and cupped her cheeks gently. She pouted when we broke contact.

"It's okay, I'm glad you're safe. My anxiety skyrocketed. You've never not texted me back since I we started talking again, I was just scared." I let out a relieved sigh. Chloe pouted then frowned.

"It won't happen again. I just wanted to blow some steam. Uh, do you mind getting water or something for the blood? I feel like I'm going to dirty everything I touch." Chloe shook her hand and questioned me with her eyes.

I snapped out of my worried daze and nodded.

"Yeah wait here, I'll get something from the girl's bathroom. Give me two minutes." I quickly turned around and made my way to the girl's dorm bathroom. Down the hall, I got looks from groggy, woken up students at Chloe's loud knock from earlier. I apologetically waved as I passed by.

In the bathroom I grabbed some toilet paper and wet it slightly in the sink. I jogged back to my dorm room and leaned against the door until I heard it click shut. Chloe looked up at me with exhaustion in her eyes.

"Here." I walked up to Chloe and took her hands again. I lightly patted her knuckles with the damp toilet paper and watched the blood slowly wash away. Once it was all cleaned, only slight redness was left and a few small cuts. Chloe touched her knuckles and smiled.

"Thanks Maximus." Chloe smiled at me and I felt a blush rise to my cheeks.

Silence hung between us for a moment until I decided I wanted to know some details.

"So uh, did you want to talk about David or.. Is that a hella bad topic right now?" I looked worriedly at Chloe, who only smiled in return.

"Hella? You're sounding more and more like me. I think I'm becoming a good-bad influence on you." Chloe avoided the question, but it made me smile nonetheless.

"I've been using it lately, but I think it suits you better." I played with my hair and it dawned on me that we finally had some time completely alone. We were only ever fully alone in the car. Between Chloe's house and school, there wasn't really much full privacy except her room (sometimes) and my dorm. Chloe bit her lip and smiled.

"I swear it's Copyrighted to my soul." Chloe pointed at herself with her thumb, but continued on a more serious note.

"About Dav-.. Step-dildo… He gets up my ass about every little thing I do. I'm just so fucking frustrated all the time; I'm an angry person Max. My whole world turned around when my Dad died… I was so confused, and scared, and I'm still so fucked up." Chloe held her hands together and scrunched her face in frustration, her voice started to waver.

"I don't want you to hate me I…Fuck this is so mushy." Chloe sniffled and let out an exasperated laugh. I patted the spot beside me and Chloe got up from her chair to join me. She plopped down onto the bed beside me with a heavy force.

"Chloe, I could never hate you. I'm here with whatever you need I promise." I tried to sound sincere.

Chloe wiped a few tears welling up in her eyes and smiled, but it turned into a frown.

"I'm... really messed up, Max. I don't want to scare you." Chloe held my hand and locked eyes with me.

"There's nothing about you that could make me like you less, or scare me. Chloe you're not scary to me, you never were and never will be. "I squeezed Chloe's hand in return.

We looked at each other for a serious moment before Chloe pulled away and brought a pre-rolled joint up to her face between us.

"Do you like me enough to let me spark up in here? I...haven't had the time today, or the right atmosphere." Chloe's face developed into one of her shit-eating grins. Remnants of tears were still evident in her eyes.

I pushed Chloe off the bed playfully.

"You're such a shit, don't get mushy on me and just snap back to regular Chloe in a second. We have things to discuss." I folded my arms tightly. Chloe opened the window near my desk and leaned next to it against my drawer.

"There's a time and place for everything Caulfield. Besides, I didn't come here to vent, it just happened by accident…" Chloe put the joint between her lips and took out a lighter from her back pocket and mumbled.

"…I can only really talk to you about this kind of stuff." Chloe looked away for a moment and sparked her lighter, the joint caught fire after a few seconds and Chloe inhaled.

"I never said yes." I smirked and saw Chloe's jaw drop and her shoulders slouch, taking the joint out of her mouth. I laughed and admired Chloe's hurt expression, it's what she got for worrying me today.

"I'm just kidding, blow out the window." I leaned against my wall of photographs and waited for Chloe to finish. Her tall stature was mesmerizing. She was only a few inches taller than me, but sometimes it felt as if she towered over me. I checked my phone while I waited and remembered Chloe came here for something apparently.

"What did you come here for then? If it wasn't to vent.. Or scare me with your bloody knuckles." I leaned over and made Chloe more visible in my sight. Chloe exhaled her last puff and threw a tiny filter out the window.

"To see you, of course." Chloe turned around and crawled onto the bed, propping herself up with her arms, inches from my face. Startled, I put my head back and hit it against my photo wall, not hard enough for it to hurt though. Her body heat transferred to mine, my cheeks lit up and butterflies surged through my stomach at lightning speed.

"You're the only reason I'd steal Step-Pricks security key to get in here past locking curfew." Chloe reached into her front jean pocket and dangled a single key in front of my face before putting it back. I smiled and laughed.

"I was wondering how you got in here. So romantic." I looked at Chloe's rosy cheeks. She was always knew how to impress me, even if those ways were illegal or morally wrong. Chloe leaned into me, looking down at my lips and back up to my eyes.

"Only for you, hippie." Chloe smiled at me. The heat on my cheeks was unbearable, and the butterflies in my stomach evolved to a pressure that started to travel lower down my body.

I didn't want to initiate because I was too shy, so I waited for Chloe to do what she did best. I closed my eyes in anticipation and heard Chloe laugh a bit before her soft lips press against mine. I melted into her touch and kissed her back, my hands instinctively found their way up to her hair. Our lips collided over and over again, our breathing became frantic and I had to pause to catch my breath again.

"Is this all you came here for? Just to get in my pants?" I had my arms wrapped around Chloe's neck and she smiled, her cheeks were red and her breathing was heavy.

"What, I can't just visit my girlfriend and have things naturally escalate?" Chloe smirked and kissed me again. She kneeled down on the bed and picked me up. I was straddling her body, embarrassed, I broke away for a moment.

"'Naturally?' You came knocking on my door, pissed with blood on your hands, how is this in any way a natural escalation of events?" I sighed, but Chloe kept working her magic with her hands, they ran up and down my sides, causing me to shiver.

"Take this as me destressing from my situation then." Chloe licked my neck, which sent waved of electricity down my spine. My fingers scratched down Chloe's back, trying to grasp at anything they could with all the new sensations tingling in my body. Before Chloe moved down to my collar bone, she stopped for a moment.

"Is this going to be okay with you? You're not uncomfortable are you?" Chloe tangled her fingers through my hair and kissed me on my cheek.

My blush deepened and I realized this was it. We were going to have sex and there was nothing stopping us except me being scared. I realized I was shaking, and Chloe probably realized too, with how suddenly she stopped.

"I-I'm fine. I'm just scared. Laugh all you want at my lameness." I looked away from Chloe, embarrassed with my stupid virgin fright.

"I'm not going to laugh Max. Let me know what's comfortable for you okay? You don't need to be scared. I hella promise you'll be fine." Chloe smiled at me and hugged me closer to her. I hugged Chloe back and nodded into her shoulder. I pulled back and leaned into Chloe's lips again. She smiled under the kiss. Her hands wandered down my body again and inched their way underneath my shirt. Her warm hands held my bare hips. Chloe licked my lips slowly and waited for me to respond. I hesitantly opened my mouth and deepened our kiss. Chloe's tongue softly touched mine, a weird sensation that was actually quite pleasurable. Our deep kiss lasted for a few minutes before my tongue started to get tired and we had to breathe. Chloe parted with me, her eyes were hazy and her cheeks were red. My face probably looked similar. She took the time apart to tug at my shirt.

"Could I"? Chloe lifted my shirt a bit above my belly and waited.

I gave Chloe a nod and she smiled. She leaned into me and kissed my cheek again. My shirt came up and above my arms, and was soon thrown onto the floor. Chloe took a moment to take in me, straddled on top of her lap, in a bra.

"Are you just going to stare?" I put my arms across my chest to shield myself, practically dying of embarrassment. Chloe laughed.

"Yup, I'm burning this into my memory for sure." Chloe took hold of both my arms and put them back to my sides.

Chloe continued her attacks on my neck, the mix of her hot breath and a warm tongue drove me crazy. I held onto Chloe again and wrapped my arms around her neck, her hands wandering up and down my exposed sides, sliding around to my ass and down near my navel.

The burning feeling in my stomach area was getting hotter. I felt light headed and dizzy, but it felt amazing. Chloe reached around my back and undid my bra. I squeaked at the sudden pressure gone from my chest. Chloe smiled into her kisses down my collar bone, slowly sliding my bra straps off of my arms and discarding the bra onto the floor.

She didn't stop, instead she pivoted and threw me towards where my pillow was. My head hit the soft cushion. Chloe crawled up towards me between my legs and continued kissing down my chest. She hesitated for a moment before I felt a warm tongue glaze over my right nipple.

Without realizing it, I let out a heavy breath and a small moan. Embarrassed, I put my hand over my mouth and looked at a very amused Chloe.

"Wowser." Chloe sighed looking up at me. I laughed and pushed her head away from my chest playfully.

"Oh shut up. That's my line." Chloe took the hand I used to push her away and kissed my palm. She crawled back up close to my face and kissed me gently.

"We're even now, then." Chloe winked at me and continued downwards down my body, licking and sucking my breasts. I tangled my fingers in her hair and pulled tightly whenever my sensitivity started to get too intense. My hips started to move on their own against Chloe's stomach, at this point I didn't know if it was the friction causing the heat between my legs or if it was just.. me.

Chloe bit down on one of my nipples and a sharp pain made me sit up slightly. Chloe stopped and switched to her hands instead, making sure I was okay before she continued.

With her mouth free, Chloe descended downwards past my chest and planted kisses on my navel. She stopped and smiled into my tummy.

"You're pretty squishy Caulfield." Chloe kissed my stomach multiple times, leaving a few marks. I laughed and looked down.

"I haven't exercised in like 6 years, cut me some slack." My words came out pretty comprehensible considering my breathing was heavy and my sex drive was through the roof. Chloe gave me one last kiss on my stomach before looking back up.

"I like it, its okay. I like everything about you." Chloe flirtatiously let her words purr off of her tongue, sending more shivers down my body. I squirmed under Chloe's hands as she caressed my thighs, positioning herself between them. Chloe unbuttoned my jean button and unzipped my zipper.

"May I?" Chloe sat up a bit so she could get better grip on my tight jeans.

I thought about it for a moment and decided it wasn't fair that I was the only one undressing.

"Only if you take your shirt and bra off too." I stared at Chloe who momentarily hesitated, before practically ripping her shirt off and throwing it on the floor. Her black bra was completely exposed, and she sat there for a moment before reaching behind her back.

"Wait." I stopped Chloe before she had the chance to do anything. She curiously looked at me.

"Could I.. Do it? Like.. Take it off and stuff." I swallowed hard and saw Chloe's expression go soft. She positioned herself over me between my legs, our faces hovering over each other.

"Go ahead." Chloe leaned down and kissed me.

My arms wrapped around her back and I struggled with her bra strap for a few seconds before I heard it click open. I slowly took it off of her body, and threw it with the rest of the discarded clothing. Her boobs were definitely bigger than mine, wowser. I had never seen someone else's body before, I mean maybe occasional accidental porn ads, but never in real life. Chloe took one of my hands and gently placed it on one of her mounds. I felt a warm soft mass envelop the size of my hand. Chloe kept her hand over mine and smiled.

"We're the same; everything's going to be alright, okay?" Chloe nuzzled into me and I smiled.

Continuing where we left off, the now topless Chloe made her way down to my jeans, and peeled them off of my legs. I could smell my own sexual frustration and it made my head pound with embarrassment. Chloe threw the pants away and positioned herself between my thighs like before; she laid flat on her stomach, leaving ticklish kisses everywhere she could.

Chloe kissed near the edge of my panty line and looked up at me for approval. I nervously nodded as an okay. Chloe took the edges of my underwear and slowly slid them off of my body. She smiled when she saw an extremely embarrassingly long string of fluid cling from my body to my underwear, a giant wet spot eminent.

"Damn, Max. Didn't know you wanted me this bad, I don't think I've ever seen anybody be this oof-" I kicked Chloe in her face lightly shutting her up and closing my legs.

"That kind of talk isn't going to get you closer to what you want, Che." I pouted. Chloe kissed up my shins and laughed.

"You're right, you're right… I love you." Chloe smiled deviously past my shins and down between my legs as her words melted my anger away. I threw my head back as Chloe placed kisses around my core, her teasing made my heart pound, my breathing staying at a ragged pace. I inhaled sharply when I felt her warm tongue slide up my center for the first time; the feeling was indescribable, but really fucking good. Chloe moaned into her kisses, sending added waves of pleasure down my body. Her tongue lazily made patterns up and down my core, sending an electric tinge down into my belly whenever she focused more near the top. I had my hand clasped over my mouth; I couldn't keep myself from breathing heavy and being audible. My voice cracked into broken moans as her tongue focused on a certain area.

Chloe's hands were holding my hips as she worked her magic. Her tongue was focused on a small bundle of nerves, causing me to tremble at everything she did. I started to feel dizzy and light headed. Chloe was being gentle and taking her time, making me feel a strange build up in my lower tummy that had been conjuring slowly ever since she first kissed me.

Chloe stopped for a moment and looked up at me, wetness covering her lips and dripping down her chin. The sight made me body tingle, but she stopped for a reason, so I listened.

"I'm going to use a finger, I'll be as gentle as I can but tell me if anything hurts, got it?" Chloe showed me her middle finger on her right hand and went back to licking me, sending my head back again before I could finish nodding. I tensed up in anticipation, I had no idea if it was going to be painful or not. Usually first times are painful, right? Anxiety shot up into my brain and I started to shake slightly. Chloe used her free hand to interlace her fingers with mine. She kissed my core slowly and gently as her finger teased my entrance, trying to make me as comfortable as possible.

Chloe slowly pushed herself inside of me; a slight pain surged through me. Her finger only made it halfway.

"Ouch." I winced and Chloe frowned.

"I'm sorry." Chloe stopped immediately and kissed my thighs, letting my body get used to the feeling.

"N-no it's fine. You can keep going." I smiled through my discomfort and laid my head back down. Chloe used her other free hand to gently rub my tummy area and continued giving gentle kisses around my nether region.

"Just breathe okay? Take deep breaths and relax your body a little." Chloe started to slowly lick me again and I gasped at the slight pleasure.

She slowly pushed the rest of the way, sending a bit more pain down my body. The feeling of Chloe inside of me felt strange, and very foreign. Chloe took the calmness on my face as a green light and started to lick more eagerly. I moaned and grabbed the sheets.

Her finger moved in and out of me rhythmically as she licked, sending two different types of pleasure through me. Chloe continued, and took her time building me up, although I had been feeling dizzy for a while now.

My moaning was upgraded to yelling Chloe's name when she curled her finger slightly towards herself, the sensation made my legs shake and my hips buck into Chloe's mouth.

"Holy.. Shit Chloe.. That feels amazing." I sighed my pleasure out into the open.

Chloe smiled and rode my pleasure smoothly as she tried to keep a steady pace with my hips moving up and down. Her tongue was in just the right spot and her fingers moved slowly, but arched every few seconds. The buildup was too much and I started to feel really weird. I put my hand on Chloe's head and pushed her slightly, I didn't want to push her away, but this feeling was something my body couldn't comprehend.

"Chloe, I feel… weird. .. I.. Fuck!" I yelled at the immense build up, I felt like I was on Cloud 9.

Chloe moaned into me and stopped momentarily.

"You're getting to an orgasm babe, just keep breathing." Chloe focused on me and moaned alongside her licking, sucking, and kissing. I felt myself tense up, and my legs started to shake.

"Chloe! I-… I'm …" I couldn't finish my sentence, before I knew it, instead of pushing Chloe's head away, I had pulled her hair so she would be closer to me. An overwhelming force pushed through me and I swung my head back. I felt myself pulsate on Chloe's warm tongue, and felt my insides tighten around Chloe's finger. If this is what orgasms feel like, I've been missing out. Chloe slid herself out of me and continued to lightly lick me, it wasn't enough to be over sensitive, but it was warm and felt nice, prolonging my orgasm.

As I started to come back, I felt a warm liquid flow out of me and a feeling of bliss and euphoria surrounded my brain. I laid limp for a few moments before Chloe left my center and crawled back up to my face.

I smiled, still hazy, and pulled Chloe into a kiss. She delightfully kissed back and put her tongue in my mouth, giving me a taste of myself.

"Is that really what I taste like?" I wiped my mouth from the kiss, Chloe's face and chin still wet from her previous task. The taste was a bit salty, and the rest was strangely indescribable.

"Yeah, and you taste hella fucking good." Chloe smirked at me, both of us lying beside each other. I wiped Chloe's mouth with my thumb. She smiled and cuddled into me.

"Was that okay?" Chloe faced me and played with my hair. I laughed and played with her hair back.

"That was more than okay. That felt amazing." I sighed, still getting small aftershocks course through my muscles. Chloe giggled and sat up a bit.

"Yeah you came really hard, that looked intense.. and uhm." Chloe ruffled her own hair and scratched the back of her neck nervously. I caught on and laughed.

"You want me to return the favor, Price?" I sat up as well as I could for still being pretty limp. Chloe's cheeks turned a bright red and she became flustered.

"I mean if you're tired you don't have to I could always just.. Rub one out while you're asleep or whatever." Chloe pouted. I smiled and grabbed one of Chloe's arms towards me. I kissed her gently and she kissed back. We parted for a moment and I stared into her deep blue eyes.

"I don't mind. I'm just.. Not very experienced and I don't know how well I'd be able to.. Satisfy you." I frowned and Chloe smiled.

"Well for starters…" Chloe wrapped her arms around me as well as she could and she flipped our positions, she laid underneath me and I hovered over her. My cheeks instinctively turned red, it felt strange being 'on top' as I've heard it been referred to. I felt the heat between Chloe's legs radiate on my thigh, which was conveniently placed right between hers. Chloe realized I was nervous and rubbed my back.

"Just do what feels natural to you, and if it's too much for you we can stop. As I said, I don't mind finishing myself off later. Not that you wouldn't do a good job! I just- I'm more worried about you seeing my meat wallet and being freaked out and stopping." Chloe stuttered trying not to sound as if I was going to fail.

"Chloe, the only thing that worries me right now is you calling your own genitals a meat wallet." I smiled and Chloe burst out laughing.

"I didn't want to be so direct, I don't know what you prefer.. Meat Wallet, Beef Curtains, Fish Flaps, Cave of Wonderhmphhh!" Chloe smiled as I put my hand over her mouth, silencing the many slang terms for her vagina.

I took my hand off of her mouth and replaced it with my lips. Chloe's smile slowly died down and she embraced me, pulling me down so low that our breasts touched. The sudden contact made my body start to heat up again, I totally forgot I was naked and Chloe was topless. The sensation of skin on skin again sent shivers down my body. Our kiss started to intensify; Chloe tangled her fingers in my hair and pulled me closer. I moved from her lips to her jawline.

Chloe gasped and moaned. Something about me being able to get these types of reactions out of someone like Chloe made my pride rise. I made my way down to her neck and started to suck at one spot, leaving a very clearly visible red hickey. I bit down on the tender spot and Chloe gasped.

"Damn.. Max. Playing rough." Chloe breathed out.

"Sorry.." I stopped and looked down at Chloe who bit her lip.

"No I mean, I like it." Chloe winked at me and smiled.

With relief in my brain, I went back down to her neck and received another light gasp. Chloe let go of my hair and grabbed the sheets by her sides as I slid lower, past her collar bones and down to her chest. I hesitated for a moment before bringing one of her nipples into my mouth, lightly sucking and licking. Chloe arched her back at the pleasure and closed her eyes. I smirked at the positive reaction and continued lightly grazing over her tip with my tongue. I went back and forth, making sure not to neglect either breast.

Content with my work, and by the sound of Chloe's moans, I thought it'd be time to make my way downwards. I kissed my way down past Chloe's ribs, down her tummy, and close to her navel.

Chloe laughed and I looked up in confusion.

"Y-you're tickling me." Chloe's tummy muscles spasmed every time I left a light kiss. I smiled and tickled Chloe's tummy more intensely, giving her a raspberry. Her laughter intensified.

"You're so ticklish it's ridiculous." I stopped and let Chloe breathe.

"I know I can't help it, but I know you love that about me." Chloe sighed. I made my way up to her lips and surprised her with a kiss. I pulled away quickly and positioned myself between her legs once more.

"I do." I smiled up at Chloe, leaving kisses at the hem of her jeans. Chloe looked down between her legs in embarrassment. I unbuttoned her tight skinny jeans and pulled the zipper down slowly. Chloe raised her hips slightly to aid in undressing her lower half. I grabbed her jeans on either side and slid them off, leaving a pair of black undies that matched her discarded bra.

I threw the pants on the floor and laid down on my belly, like Chloe had done previously, and kissed her bare thighs. Chloe inhaled sharply and gasped at the sudden kisses and love bites. I kissed my way up and down her thighs; I felt her tremble and shake. Deciding not to tease too much, I kissed at Chloe's underwear line, propped myself up on my elbows, and slid them off. I was greeted with a similar string of fluids caught to her underwear, attached to the lower part of her core. I slid Chloe's underwear past one leg and decided to discard of them fully later.

I stared at the sight in front of me. I had never been this close to someone else's junk, obviously, so I took the time to examine what I was looking at. Chloe realized and let out a small laugh.

"Like what you see?" Chloe put one hand on my head, pushing my bangs back a bit.

"I'm just, taking this in." I stared at Chloe then back to what was in front of me. There was a trail of clear liquid dripping down underneath to Chloe's butt. I also saw what made me feel so good before, the small bundle of nerves exposed, a bit different from the rest of her pinkness.

Chloe closed her eyes and laid her head back in anticipation, so I decided not to keep her waiting and hoped for the best. I licked upwards and got a gasp from Chloe, followed by a raw throaty moan. I continued licking, the fluid around her core going into my mouth and dripping down my chin. I swallowed and got a taste of Chloe. She was very similar to what I tasted like, wowser. I continued licking and decided to focus on her bundle of nerves. I started to suck and lick more vigorously, but Chloe tensed up and closed her thighs onto my head.

"Ah, a little hard. Clit's sensitive.. Try not to like strain your tongue, kinda use it flat and soft." Chloe ruffled my hair and I nodded.

I let my tongue soften and continued focusing on Chloe's most sensitive spot. She arched back and moaned in pleasure, saying my name over and over again. The sights and sounds of Chloe writhing underneath me sent shocks down my body. I moaned into my attacks, making Chloe's thighs shake in pleasure.

Chloe let go of her grip on the sheets and moved to my hair, pulling me forward every time she felt something she liked. Chloe's breathing was ragged, her head was moving from side to side, and her thighs shook every few seconds. As I continued, Chloe was trying to form sentences.

"Max.. I… I need you…Please." Chloe begged. I nodded and took my right hand from around her thigh and placed it underneath my chin, teasing her entrance. I hadn't stopped licking, so Chloe started to get impatient.

"Max.. I-I'm… I want you." Chloe practically whimpered her desires. My heart sped up at the voice Chloe was using, I had never heard her use this tone of voice, it felt like a privilege. Her raw moans and begging made my heart skip a beat, and I felt a warm liquid flow down my inner thigh. Great Max, you literally just had sex and you want to do it again. Calm yourself. Ignoring my body's reactions, I gently pushed and felt my middle finger get enveloped by a warm wetness.

Chloe moaned loudly, and her grip on my hair tightened. Her breathing was uncontrolled and spontaneous.

I continued licking and slowly and thrusted my finger in a rhythmic pace, Chloe's expressions were a mix of excitement and pure euphoria. I felt Chloe's muscles clench down on my finger more and more, I decided to try what Chloe did to me before and gently arched my finger in a 'come here' motion. Chloe repeated my name over and over again until I felt her thighs shake intensively and her mouth drop open.

"Max.. I'm.. Going to.. Come.. Oh My God.. Max!" Chloe grabbed my hair as hard as she could and pulled me towards her, letting out a long drawn out moan. I felt her whole body shake and convulse, her muscles trapped down on my finger. I continued to lick and Chloe pushed my head away forcefully, I took that as a sign to stop.

"Sorry, sensitive as fuck right now." Chloe's breathing still ragged, she looked down at me and then plopped her head down onto the pillow underneath her.

I kissed her center one more time before slowly sliding my finger out and wiping my mouth. I crawled back up near Chloe and she embraced me in a hug, pulling me down on top of her. We sat for a moment, letting our breathing settle, Chloe played with my hair. I sat up for a moment and pulled the covers over our bodies, Chloe smiled and pulled me back down, embracing me from behind.

"Chloe." I mumbled her name with a very fast approaching sleepiness.

"Yeah?" Chloe kissed the top of my head, her arm underneath my neck, the other draped over my waist.

"I love you too."

. . . . . .

I woke up to a loudly fading alarm ringing in my ear drums. I groggily silenced it and felt cold when my bed sheets folded off of my body. I'm naked. I recalled all of the indecent things me and Chloe had done last night and felt heat rise to my face. I got up and put a shirt on and a pair of shorts, Chloe had slept through the noise like a rock and continued to lightly snore into my pillow. I went to my desk and made sure I had saved all of my documents last night and had all of my printed assignments ready to go.

I picked up a water bottle I had sitting on my desk and used the small last bit to water Lisa before going near the bed again. I started to pick up and fold all of our discarded clothing. As I picked up the last article of clothing, which was Chloe's bra, I realized she had one of her legs exposed, spooning my blanket. I thought it was just my eyesight still adjusting to the morning, but Chloe looked like she had what looked like big white lines near her hips and going down the span of her outer thigh. I threw Chloe's bra on my couch and made my way closer to Chloe's body, examining the white stripes.

Reality hit me like a train.

Scars.

My stomach turned and I backed away, taking in the amount she had up close, some so deep the scar healed in a giant bump. I hadn't noticed them last night with just my lamp on and my dim room light (and getting caught up in the sex.) With the sun coming in, her skin was illuminated, and every single scar was visible on her pale skin. I panicked and sat down on the couch, looking towards Chloe. Her blue hair was ruffled and her expression was calm.

I had always known Chloe had struggled with a mental illness, she told me she had this thing called 'Borderline Personality Disorder', she said she got diagnosed after William died, and that she had been struggling with it ever since. I knew Kate also struggled with depression, it had never dawned on me that.. Self-mutilation was something that actually happened. I've heard about it, seen it in movies and shows, it seemed so unreal. Now it's right in front of me.

My brain was trying to conjure up a million things to say. How do I bring it up? Do I even bring it up? Will she tell me eventually? Did she even think I'd see them when we woke up? My brain was spinning. I had 20 minutes to get to my first class and hand in my assignments over to Mr. Jefferson, and I just found out Chloe Price, the upbeat punk rock chick that smiles at everything had been doing something horrible to herself while I was away.

Five Goddamn years Max, a text could have saved her so much pain, so much damage.

I know.

Not once did you think about her, you're selfish, you only thought about yourself.

I'm horrible.

She's going to have those forever, one of them probably has your name on it.

I can't erase them.

She's just clinging onto you like a lost puppy because you're here now.

No. No Chloe would never do that.

She can't love you Max. 3 weeks and you're 'together'? She just wanted to get in your pants.

She wouldn't use me like that!

I snapped out of my anxious thoughts and tried to catch my breath, an anxiety attack eminent in my heart and lungs. I heaved heavily and tried to calm my breathing down, my hands shaking and my legs not working properly. I grabbed a change of clothes, packed my stuff into my bag, and headed to the girls bathroom.

Chloe loves me. She loves me.

She..
