Chapter Text


Willow loves Max so much, they weren't so close before, but after the both of them were victims of Henry, they have been talking about their experiences together, because no one else can really relate like each other, they're truly bestfriends now. However, due to she getting bombarded with commisions she hasn't gotten a lot of time to hang out with friends, so now that's she's wrapped up the most important commisions, she finally arranged a hang out with Max. 

They spent all the day shopping, eating out, having so much fun. Willow really missed her these past few weeks. 

 

"So..." Max starts.

 

Will already knows what's she's going to ask, he sighs. She knows her so well.

 

"How has things been going on with Carla?"

 

You see, Willow has been dating Carla for two months, she's moved to Willow's appartment and now they live together, they go out in dates every now and then, and brings her bouquets. He likes Carla. Except, she's been acting suspicious lately, coming late from work or from hanging out with friends, sometimes she can even smell a different perfume from what usually Carlta wears... she doesn't really want to think about it too much. It doesn't matter, whatever's Carla's doing, she's publicly out, likes her and makes her happy, she can be happy with that.

 

"Well, nothing's changed from last time, she's still coming in late.." Willow sighs, they've been walking back to her apartment, just a few more steps and they'll be there.

 

"Willow, i swear, if she's really cheating on you, i will beat her up." Max promises.  

 

"Max, don't worry about it, okay? i can take care of it." Willow tries to convince her, she pushes the door of the building's entrance, and they both enter.

 

"So, how has things been for you and Lucy?" Willow changes the subject, from what Max told her since they last seen each other, she's been acting weird too.

 

Both she and Willow enter the elevator and she presses the button to her floor. "Yeah, i've got no idea. I haven't been able to read her very well lately." Max sighs, but doesn't look too bothered.

Floor one, floor two, the door opens, and they both step out.

 

"Maybe she's planning a surprise?" Willow tries.

"Whatever." Max rolls her eyes.

 

They're both at her apartment's door, she takes out his keys from her pockets and opens the door. They take off their jackets and leave them on the hangers. They only take a few steps and enter the living room, when they found Lucy and Carla heavily making out on the couch. Carla was on top of her, grabbing her biceps and Lucy squeezing her ass.

"Carla?!"


"Lucy?!" 

Carla and Lucy pushed each other off, and looked to the side to see their girlfriends, Willow had told Carla that she was probably gonna come home late, so this was shocking to her.

 

"Willow! W-What are you doing here?!" Carla stuttered.

"Max! baby, i can explain.." Lucy said, trying to calm Max down.

 

"What am i doing here? Carla this is our apartment, or rather, mine, since you and i are no longer together, i want you out of my home!" 

"Fuck that! I just caught you with another girl! I don't want any explaination!" Max shouted at Lucy.

 

"F-fuck, no wait, Willow, listen to me!"

 

"You can't demand anything from me anymore, Carla! I don't wanna hear anything you have to say!" Willow crossed her arms and glared at her ex-girlfriend. Max put an arm around her shoulder's trying to console her friend in this ridiculous situation they found themselves in. 

 

"Fine! that's how you wan't to be, huh!? Then, admit it, you were cheating on me too!" Carla yelled.

 

"What?!" Willow was shocked at the accusation, and then she heard it, someone was knocking at her door, shit.

 

"Oh, great! Is there someone else in this too, Lucy?!" Max angrily asked, she didn't wait for an answer, she furiously walked to open the door to reveal-

 

"Michelle?!" 

Willow ran her hands through her face, she's definitely getting a headache if everyone keeps yelling.

 

"Uh, hey. Is Willow here? " Michelle shoved Max to enter the apartment, she looked around and walked to the living room to see everyone there.

"Bitch, don't shove me. You didn't even let me answer." Max closed the door and followed her behind.

 

Michelle rolled her eyes at her, she looked at Willow and asked her. "What's going on?" She was confused on why she was excluded on the hang out everyone was having at Willow's apartment. "You!" Carla pointed at Michelle. "Admit it, you and Willow were messing around behind my back, weren't you?!" she accused.

 

Michelle's eyebrows rose at the accusation, she looked at Willow. Willow pointed at Carla and Lucy, and then herself and Michelle. Michelle understood the situation now. She smirked and put her arm around Willow's waist. "It's true, me and Willow have fucking behind your back." Michelle turned her head slightly and gave Willow a forehead kiss. Willow slightly blushed and said. "Michelle! Not here.." she hid her face behind her hands.

 

"WOW! you two are so shameless! perfect for each other!" While all of this happened, Max was on her phone, seemingly texting someone. She locked the phone and put her phone back on her jean's pockets. 

 

"You two can't fucking talk either!" Max counteracted, another knock was heard at the apartment's door and Michelle asked Willow, confused. "Baby, were you expecting someone else?" Willow turned to look at her and shaked her head, she was confused too.

 

The sound of the door opening itself made everyone tense, expect Max. Was robber forcefully entering the apartment, perhaps? the sound of steps came closer and there she was. Jane Ives Hopper, alive.

 

Willow gasped, she was shocked at seeing his dead sister alive! She threw her arms around Jane's neck and hugged her tight. "Jane! i can't believe you're here!" she let go of her and looked at her before asking. "Why are you here? Why now?" She was relieved her sister was alive, of course but the timing seemed a bit suspicious.

Jane hold Willow's hand and smiled at her sister, "I missed you too, Willow." She looked behind her and made eye contact with Max, she let of Willow's hands to walk towards a very calm Max. "The truth is, that i've been secretly living with Max this whole time." Jane confessed.

"What?!" Lucy shockedly yelled.

Max put her arms around Jane's waist and profundly expressed "Actually, me and Jane love each other!" Lucy was stunned, she couldn't believe that her girl friend was hiding another girl in their house this whole time and she didn't even know it!
