Summary
What if Ryan Caulfield and Vanessa Caulfield decided to let Max stayed with Chloe and Joyce, while they went to Seattle after William dead? What if Rachel Amber wasn't a toxic person that used her acting skills to get people to do her biddings? What if Rachel Amber were friends with Max and Chloe and show how perfect that they were for each other? What if Max attended Blackwell during Before the Storm? What if Chloe never got suspended and eventually expelled? What if Rachel Amber never went to Frank and Jefferson? What if Rachel Amber never dead from overdosed? I am here to answer all these possibilities with this AU. This idea was thought of due to a photo that I saw someone made for Fanart and then later on saw posted in one of the groups part of on Facebook. While then was expanded to being reality since I am known as someone that hates Rachel, but loves her in stories that change her personality. Like the Officially Licensed Comics series and a few Fanfics on this site. I figured this can be another one of the stories that change Rachel's personality to make her more likable. While giving us our Pricefield that we deserve so badly.

Summary
„So, Max, what are we doing here?” Rachel asked, deciding to break the silence, even though it had been Max who had asked her, and only her, for a meetup at the junkyard.
“We’re friends, aren’t we, Rachel? And friends can be honest with each other, right?”
“It’s a ‘yes’ on both accounts, Max. We are friends. And you can be honest with me”.
Max inhaled deeply and spoke: “Sometimes people start out as friends, but as time goes on, they become something … more. They fall in love”. When Max said the word “love”, she blushed red as a hibiscus flower and broke eye contact with Rachel for a while.
“Max, what are you trying to say?” Rachel asked softly.
Max composed herself and decided to rip off the band-aid. Looking Rachel in the eyes, she continued: “I know I’m prying. But I need to know what’s between you and Chloe. I need to know how you feel about her. Because I’m in love with …" -
