"Come on, Brent! Just give up! You know you can't kill me! You know you want to keep me in your life, you know you want to look after me like I was the daughter you'd never get the chance to have, and you want to protect me with every chance you get. You want to be my friend, you don't want to kill me!" Chloe begged. She knew that talk was what got her in this mess in the first place, but it was the only thing she could think of to stop Brent from shoving the knife into her chest.
Brent froze in that position. His mind was a hurricane of thoughts. Soon enough, Chloe didn't have to put any pressure on the knife to hold it back from killing her and it fell to the ground. Brent got up and just…left.
Chloe knew then and there she'd never hear from him again. He didn't want to see her and she didn't really desire seeing him either.
"Chloe, are you okay?" Tony asked. Chloe swallowed a big pocket of air.
"Yeah, I'm fine…" Chloe responded, staring at where Brent had been standing a few minutes ago.
"What's up with him?" Rhodey asked.
"He's not going to bother us ever again, don't worry guys."
~…~
The next day, Rhodey was sitting in his apartment living room when he heard a knock on his door. Curiously, he answered to Chloe.
"Oh, hey Chloe, what's up?"
"I…I just wanted to thank you for caring for me so much like you did last night. No one's ever taken such an interest in me before."
"I could never let you get hurt. You're way too important to me." Rhodey smiled. Chloe hugged him once more.
"I was kinda hoping we could try being more than friends…" Chloe said nervously. Rhodey smiled wider.
"I'd love to." He held out his arm, and Chloe wrapped hers around it. Expecting to be taken on a date, she was surprised when Rhodey whisked her around and kissed her.
Chloe couldn't have asked for anything better than what she had then.
I may add more in the future, but for now I really should get going. Review! Hope you liked this ending better XD
