[Chloe stops moving for a while and stands still as she feels Max's arms tighten around her. She doesn't return the hug, but she doesn't pull away either. She's been left so many times, hurt so many times, that she just doesn't want to deal with any of it anymore.
Maybe that's why she didn't answer Max's call during the event. Chloe just couldn't bear being on the other side of that phone, all alone and away from the one person that mattered to her.
And now that person's in front of her, hugging her like there's no tomorrow. Tomorrow... What if Max leaves again tomorrow? Can Chloe still handle the pain? How many times does she have to be left alone before the world finally stops bullying her?
She's over the edge now. A bit more and it'll push her right out the door. But Chloe loves Max. To the moon and back. And right now, that's the only thing rooting her to this spot.
She takes a hold of Max's arms and pulls away gently so she can look at her face.]
Tell me why I should believe you. Give me one good reason why I should believe that you wouldn't choose to leave me again.
