Authors note: Ok, a long time ago before I watched days, my friend Ginger wanted to change her username on FF.net, but she didn't know how so she asked me if she could use my E-mail, BoogerDDog@cs.com make a new one. Of course, I didn't have any problem with this because I didn't watch days back then, and I didn't know about fanfiction. Fastforward to like a couple months ago when I was like "hmm I want to go to ff.net" but I soon realized that since Ginger was signed up here I couldn't. So I signed up on my other friend's (Taylor) E-mail address. To make a long story short, if you feel like E-mailing me for any particular reason about this fanfiction or others, E-mail BoogerDDog@cs.com, unless you want Taylor to cuss you out. Enough said
Peace :-)

Chloe happily bounded out of her house and into Brady's car carrying her party clothes. "Well, actually Craig said he wouldn't mind if I went with you to the party, as long as I stick with you. I dunno why though, he must trust you for some reason. It's strange because he never trusted Philip at all. He always told me to..." Chloe looked over at Brady as she was babbling who had his head rested on his steering wheel and realized that
he hadn't heard a word she said.
"Brady, what's wrong? What happened? Tell me," Chloe asked gently as she touched his
arm.
Brady lifted his head and quickly rubbed his eyes, though nothing had come out of
them, it was mainly the threat that scared him. But Chloe caught it.
"Oh my God Brady," she quietly exclaimed as she moved closer to him. "You're cry-"
"I'm not crying Chloe," he said faintly smiling at her. "Look, there's a couple
things I umm...haven't told you about the party tonight.
Chloe looked at him skeptically, "What?"
"It's not just some party in town I heard about like I kinda let you believe...well,
ok, actually it is in town but it's a little bit..." Brady searched for words to the
situation justice. "It's a little different"
"Yeah? How so?"
"Well, actually some friends of mine from college are in town," Brady ran his hand
though his head, the words just weren't coming. "About all of them actually...are in town
...in Salem...for New Year's"
"So...you'll forgive me if I can't seem to isolate the problem, right?" Chloe asked,
confused.
"Chloe, I dropped out of college, remember? There were some definite reasons why
too, I've just never told anyone what they were"
"Right, sorry...so are you going to tell me?" She paused; she didn't want to sound
pushy. She knew what it was like to have someone badgering you to tell them something, when
it was the last thing you wanted to do. "You don't have to," she added quickly.
Brady started his car. "So we have about 7 hours before party time, what do you want
to do? Basketball? Dotcom?"
"Dotcom I guess, it's too cold for basketball" So apparently that was a 'No, Chloe,
I'm not going to tell you' in disguise.
"Well, pick out something to listen too," Brady said tossing Chloe his CD
collection like he had done so many times before.
"Bought anything new lately?"
"CDs right? Uh yeah, I just got Lifehouse...The Calling... and something else.
As Chloe flipped absentmindedly though the CDs, Brady's ears caught something hers
didn't. Thinking about it, he didn't want her to hear it, because then he would have to
explain, and that would take far to long.
Brady coughed loudly to cover the second ring of his phone-his phone that would
undoubtedly have Lindsay on the other end if he picked up. He coughed again.
Chloe looked up, "Brady are you ok?"
"Oh yeah, I'm fine, just have a bit of a cold I gue-*COUGH*"
"No, wait a minute, I think I hear something...that's your phone, isn't it?"
"Are you sure you're hearing something? Maybe it's just your ima-*COUGH*"
Chloe looked at him. What was he trying to cover up? "No...that's your phone, I'm
positive...I'll get it for you," she said with a dive behind her seat to retrieve the
ringing phone.
"Chloe, NO, Don't answer that," he demanded looking at her from the road, and
slowing down his car.
"But it could be important," Chloe said raising her eyebrow, and clicking the send
button.
"It's not, trust me," He said even though he had heard her answer the phone, and
he knew it was too late.
"Hello...I'm Chloe...No, I'm just his friend..." Chloe looked up at Brady, without
a clue in hell who she was talking to, and why she was being so demanding. "Lindsay?...no,
he never told me about you..."
With that, Brady laid on his breaks and glanced quickly at Chloe. He made up his
mind, he was going to tell her everything, and he sure as hell didn't want her to hear it
from that witch on the other end of the phone line. "Chloe hang up NOW," he demanded.
Chloe was so confused. Brady had never been so demanding before, it had to be
important. She was torn too though. She was torn between listening to Brady and listening
to what Lindsay was going to tell her, so she just looked at Brady and held the phone kind
of halfway away from her ear.
"Chloe, I'm not joking, just give me the phone," He said bringing his jeep to a
complete stand still in the middle of the road.
"Here," She finally consented handing him the phone, which he hung it up immediately.
He sighed in relief, and, as if he was the only person in the car, said to his phone "And
the power goes off"
"Brady, who exactly was that," Chloe said with the same look she had on when she
answered the phone.
Brady started his car again and as the radio started playing said, "I need to
find somewhere to pull off, I need to tell you everything that happened, and you
sure as hell deserve as explanation as to why you had to talk to that bitch for a full
3 minutes" He reached over for her wrist and checked her pulse "Well, you're a strong person
Chloe, you managed to stay alive."
Peace :-)
