Phillip approached the bed, he got the feeling that Chloe wanted to say
something, and he wouldn't like it. "Hey Chloe," he began slowly "are you
okay?" Chloe shook her head "Do I look okay Phillip?" she asked nodding
toward her broken arm. "look at my face and my arm." Phillip swallowed hard
"Look, I am sorry, I didnt try to hurt you" he said "but you pulled away
from me."
Chloe rolled her eyes and sighed angrily "dont pin this on me Phillip. I told you to let go of me and you refused." Phillip dropped his eyes "I didnt mean to hurt you." Chloe didnt say anything, she just shook her head. She was starting to see what Brady saw when he saw Phillip.
"Phillip," she began "the reason I agreed to let you come in is because I have to tell you something." Her tone told Phillip he definitely wasnt going to like this. "Look Chloe I can explain" he began, but Chloe cut him off "Phillip, you have explanations and excuses for everything. I get tired o of listening to them and I really get tired of having to deal with them."
"Wait a minute," Phillip stopped her angrily "did Brady put you up to this? he's after you ya know?" Chloe shook her head "No, Phillip, Brady didnt put me up to this. We talked about it, him and I, but what he does is what I wish everyone else would do."
"And what is that?" Phillip asked "tell you what to think and who to see."
"No actually, that is you" she looked at him pointedly "Brady is just the opposite, he talks with me about things and lets me make my own decisions. He trusts me. which is more than I can say for you." Phillip put his hand on his hips, "So, you're breaking up with me.?" he clarified. Chloe took a deep breath, she didnt realize it, but yes that was what she was doing "Yes, I guess I am Phillip" she agreed "I dont want to be your prisoner anymore."
"So, what you're going to be Brady's girl now, just like that?" Chloe shrugged "When and if Brady and I get together it really wont be any business of yours Phillip," she told him "but I'd rather be with Brady, rather than you because I can at least be me with him."
Phillip didnt say anything, he just stalked to the door and walked out "I hope you're happy" he murmured angrily to Brady, who ran to the door as soon as it opened. Brady grinned "have a nice life phillip" he whispered softly. Brady looked longingly at the door to Chloe's room, "go ahead" Nancy sighed "but you'd better be good." Brady rolled his eyes "yes mother" he chuckled.
"Brady watched Chloe from the door "are you okay?" he asked. Chloe looked up, her eyes red and swollen"yeah" she spoke unconvincingly "i'll be fine." Brady walked over to the bed and sat down on it holding her close. "I'm sorry" she apologized "I know you dont want to deal with this" Brady chuckled, his laughter rumbling in her ear "I take it he didnt take the news too well?"
"Ya think?" she half-chuckled, "I didnt mean to hurt him Brady." she rested her head on his shouder. "he'll survive" Brady spoke softly playing with her hair. "hey you know what?" he asked trying to lighten the mood "we still need to wash your hair" he spoke softly, pullling her hair out of her face.
"Yes, we do" she agreed, "Will you help me?" Brady jumped off the side of the bed "at your service ma'am" he extended his hand to her. Chloe smiled "thanks Brady" she took his hand in hers. "For what?" he asked. "For being with me and listening to me whine about Phillip and all that." Brady smiled gently "always Chloe, always and forever" he whispered helping her off the bed "now let's gt that hair of yours washed.
