Chloe bolted downstairs, grabbed her coat, and started walking… she didn't know where she was headed, but there was one thing she was sure of, she couldn't be around either of them right now. 'Philip had hurt her once again but it was Brady that she was angry with. Why couldn't he have let things be? Why couldn't he just realize that she was happy and have stayed out of THEIR argument?' She stopped and looked up realizing she couldn't walk any further, she had walked the whole 5 miles to the water. With that she sat down and cried, she cried harder than she had in a long time.
Meanwhile, back at Chloe's room, Philip had realized that Chloe had disappeared and ran after her. He jumped into his Porsche and drove around town. 'Where can she be? I love her so much … perhaps she is at our spot, yes that's it, OUR spot…'
Brady was in shock. He wasn't sure what happened just now, nor was he sure if he wanted to know. He fell back on her bed and sighed. He could smell her perfume lightly sprayed across her bed. It was torture. He had to know what she had meant when she ran out. It was one of two things: either she was mad at Philip or, or she was mad at him, the latter was one he didn't want to think about.
Philip: I thought I would find you here (he said quietly as he came upon Chloe who was leaning against their tree) Look, I'm sorry. I was way out of line over there; I just love you so much (he said as he sat next to Chloe and offered her his arm)
Chloe took that opening and buried her head into Philips chest.
Chloe: Oh Philip, I'm know you are. This feels so good, us together, at OUR place.
Philip: (cautiously took Chloe's head and tilted her chin so that she was looking at him) Does this mean what I think it means…?
Chloe: (small smile) Yes Philip I think it does (and she gave him a small kiss on the lips and then leaned back into him again)
Philip: Look Chloe, I'm sorry but I have to drive you home now. The doctor says I need some rest and this thing with Brady earlier wore me out. Do you mind if I take you home now? (He says as standing up and reaching out for Chloe's hand)
Chloe: (sighing) No, of course not. I'm beat too. (And with that they left, back to his Porsche)
Chloe: Goodnight Philip (small kiss on the lips) I'll call you tomorrow (she said as she reached for the door)
Philip: Bye Chloe. I love you (looking deeply into her eyes)
Chloe: (suddenly uncomfortable) I know you do…. bye! (She went inside the door, closed it and fell back onto it…'this is the right decision' she thought and headed up to her room)
Chloe: Brady!! What are you STILL doing in my room?? (Chloe said shaking him awake)
Brady: I…uhh…I must have fallen asleep. Are you ok…? (Looking quizzically into her eyes and walking toward her)
Chloe: (Interrupting) No! I'm NOT ok…how could you? Why can't you leave what's between Philip and I alone?
Brady: (Looking hurt said softly) Chloe I was only trying to…
Chloe: To what? To help? Well you didn't help…I can handle things on my own and I don't need you be my protector. I am not as fragile as people think…
Brady: I don't think that Chloe, I know you aren't but Philip was way out of line…
Chloe: That is beside the point, I didn't ask for your help so stay out of it and stay out of my life!
Brady: (quietly with an almost tearful face) Fine, if that is what you want, I will just leave.
Chloe: Good!
Brady: (Goes to leave but as he reaches the door he stops and with his back to hers) Chloe did our summer mean nothing to you…. (He waited for an answer but when too much silence had passed he left)
Chloe just stood there, unable to answer for fear her unshed tears would pour out. After he left she went and curled herself on her bed and cried. Why did she blow up at Brady? He hadn't done anything that horrible. She had blown it out of proportion but it was what she had to do. She couldn't let him see that she was really grateful that someone was willing to stick up for her; that she meant that much to someone. 'This is the way it has to be' she thought as she fell asleep breathing in the smell of his sweet cologne.
