[She repeats that weakly as she stares at Chloe while the girl wipes her tears. Then she pushes forward to give her best friend a hug.
Fan backlash would be appropriate... if she had fans.
Well. She seems to have one.
She shakes her head against Chloe's shoulder while Chloe throws every conceivable compliment her way. It's a long way before Max starts feeling like she deserves it, but at least she doesn't protest.
Her crying calms, and by the end of it she's taking the deep, heavy breaths of someone who can finally breathe normally again - though still interspersed with sniffs.]
[ Chloe keeps a tight hold on her as she cries, closing her own eyes and taking more controlled breaths so she can keep her emotions under control, the way she's always tried to when Max is hurting. Being a rock for her is the only way that she could ever help. ]
It's okay, Max. [ She keeps her voice even and calm, quieter than normal, as she moves her head enough to press a kiss against her temple. ] Everything's gonna be okay.
[That's extremely hard to believe. All the same, she tries to.
The kiss helps. Eventually her sniffs start to fade as well. But she doesn't make a big deal about it - she'd rather stay here hugging her best friend.
She only responds when she's good and ready this time, nodding her head against Chloe's shoulder.]

Okay.
[Only because Chloe says so.
But that's good enough.]
