It was too late. Max was gone by the time we reached the place she was supposed to stand. So close, yet so far away. I was punching the tree when I realised how I failed her.

"Dammit." Stefan cursed once all the fire was out. "Hey, Derek, it's gonna be okay." Stiles says and I let out a deep breathe.

"We have to find her." I say and everyone nods. "She's not dead." Bonnie says and I frown. "What?" I ask and sigh. "Klaus may be a hybrid now, but she's not dead yet." I say and frown.

. . .

"How is she doing?" I hear Damon ask Stefan. I wasn't eavesdropping... just curious. "She lost the parent she had, her aunt got sacrificed and her sister is missing, presumably dead. She's in shock." He says and I frown.

There was a loud banging before a door opened and someone came in. I look up and see a very dirty Max. "Max!" Stiles is the first one to basically run towards her and presents her from falling.

She had cried, she was dirty, she was tired and in shock. "Stiles." She says and breaks out sobbing. Everyone gathers around her and I see everyone in relief.

I know she likes Stiles, maybe the only person she really likes besides me. I think he knew how it felt about Heather, and that they could find comfort in it. Besides, who doesn't like Stiles?

"I'm not dead." She says and let's out a sob. Me, Stiles, Scott and Allison were here, Allison more for her skills. Stiles let's go and Elena and Jeremy hug her and she let's out more sobs.

"Hey, ssh, you're okay, you're okay." She whispers and Max nods. "I know." She replies and takes a deep breathe. "But
Jenna... how am I still alive?" She asks and frowns.

"John he uh... he traded his life for yours and Elenas. Because you were twins it happened to be both your lives." She looks at Elena and gasps. "You're not..?" She asks and Elena shakes her head.

Finally she notices me and basically storms at me. She hugs me tightly and newfound tears fall on my shoulder. "I'm sorry." I whisper, rubbing her back.

"I love you." She says and I close my eyes. I know she didnt say it back then, but she didn't need to say it for me to know. "I love you." I say and she untangles from us.

"There's a funeral already?" She asks and he nods. "You can go like this, it doesn't matter." Elena says and Max shakes her head. "I'm going, I'll be down in 5." She says and runs upstairs. Elena and Jeremy follow her and I let out a sigh.

"Are we going?" Scott asks me quietly and I nod. Once Max comes down again she looks at me and nods. "Are you coming back?" I ask her quietly and she nods. "I need time." She says and I let out a nod.

"I will wait for you," she says and I nod. "I need time." She says again and turns away from me. I nod and let out a sigh. We got outside quietly, wishing everyone our condolences.

I love her, but some part of me knows she's not coming back. She needs her family right now, and they're here.

I don't blame her though, when I lost Paige I completely shut down for what... 10 years?

. . .

Scott

Derek left with his sister and Max. Honestly, no one knows if he's coming back. A part of wants him to return, but another part of me hopes that he'll be okay.

Me and my dads relationship is still the same, only Rafe tries to be a dad. Just because he stays in the house doesn't mean he's welcome.

Stiles and I both feel it every day, just like Deaton said we would. And it makes me think about that quote Jennifer used to start the first English class.

Because when they feel it, its like they're looking into 'the heart of an immense darkness.'

"What do you do then?" Deaton asks once I finish talking. "I look for my friends." I say, a memory of me and Stiles flash through my head. "What about Ms. Blake?" Deaton asks and I frown. "I don't know, when we went back inside the distillery her body was gone." I say and Deaton nods.

"What about Max?" He shrugs and looks down.

"Now that she isn't needed for a sacrifice she said she needed some time off. She went with Derek and Cora, but, Derek said they don't know when or if she'll come back, to her family or to us at all." I say and sigh.

Stiles hated that she left but she was so broken and Derek is now trying to help her recollect herself, piece by piece if he needs to.

They are good for each other, because they bring out the best in each other.
