Summary
You can bury the past, but nothing stays buried forever.
Max Caulfield learns that the hard way when she witnesses a shooting at her school and recognizes the victim as her former best friend, Chloe Price.
Before that moment, Max was just an ordinary student, dealing with ordinary things. Afterward the whole world has been upended as she struggles with a trauma as destructive as any storm, a former friend in mortal peril, and her life falling apart as she tries in vain to deal with the ordinary when nothing is ordinary any longer.
In this world there are no magical solutions—the only way through is through. Nevertheless, that might contain its own sort of mercy.

Summary
She couldn’t even say it had been impossible, she knew she could’ve done it — she could’ve saved them all. But she picked Chloe. And as horrible, as tragic, as devastating as the choice had been, Max knew it was the only option she would ever choose. Even if she woke up tomorrow and found the date on the calendar was October 7th, she would make the same choice. A thousand times. An infinite amount of times.
To her, to Max, it would always be Chloe. Nothing in the fucking world would ever change that.
Max made it out alive with Chloe at her side, swearing to never use her powers again. But leaving the past behind isn’t as easy as she thought it’d be, especially with the weight of grief and guilt hanging over her shoulders. Luckily, they’re in it together — and nothing will ever tear them apart...Right?
Or, the ups and downs of what happened between 2013 - 2024 as told from Max's perspective.

Summary
“She's Max’s high school sweetheart, that’s all I know,” Safi said, crossing her arms with a smirk.
I managed a dry laugh. High school sweetheart. There were more accurate words for what Chloe and I had been—something more like destiny, a piece of my soul, and every mistake I’d ever made, all wrapped up in a beautiful disaster. But for the sake of our sanity, I let her keep it simple.
