Chapter 1: Wishes
Notes: This story starts off as all the other teens are heading back with their designated parties to head back to Salem. Chloe as every knows is going with the school since she is trying to avoid Philip and Brady. If this is or gets confusing, or you just have questions ask. I am just making this up as I go along. Enjoy!
***Yeah, um I don't own them and even in my head I don't. So yeah I hope that clarification enough.
****************************
"Final call for flight 108 to Salem, Illinois boarding on the West end of the airport" said the attendance working taking up the tickets.
"huh" mumbled a very deep in thought Chloe. She had been to wrapped up in thought, to realize where she had been. Silently thinking all that had happened in the last 2 weeks, the last 2 days, or the last 24 hours. Very mind boggling for a teenage girl who had still been getting adjusted to the life she was living.
If her mind wasn't on the home front problems it laid elsewhere. School wasn't in session yet, but it was coming soon. But that wasn't the reason for her numbing thoughts. No it heavily laid on the men in her life.
The one who she loved and still loved. The one who made such promising words to her had eventually did the unthinkable one day. 'It's not the time for this Chloe, not now. You just need to get to Salem first' she quietly thought. 'But you almost lost him, what if you had? What would you had done then? He never knew you loved him, you never said it aloud and yet he sticks to you like white on rice. Why? Do I deserve his love...does he deserve mine?' Chloe kept thinking as a million questions entered her mind just from that one moment of confusion. But then it silently wandered to another area of interest...
"Brady" Chloe said aloud not even realizing how loud she had been.
"Senorita, I believe your plan is boarding." said the little old lady sitting next to Chloe.
"Oh yeah, I forgot"
"You best hurry, I believe they said it was boarding over there"
"Thank you...Miss..." Chloe had been trying to hint carefully.
"Oh you ask of my name Laura Juanitez" said the elderly lady.
"Well, thank you Ms. Juanitez and have a nice day" said Chloe as she stood up to gather her carry one luggage.
"You too senorita. I hope what troubles you, you soon find the answer" said the kind woman.
Chloe turned and took in the woman once more. Noting she knew nothing of this woman but yet she had picked up on her. Maybe she had just been that obvious or just maybe someone was watching out for her, for once in her life. Maybe.
Yet something about the woman occupied Chloe mind. Not no longer on her men situation. But the woman looked very familiar in a way in which she couldn't describe. But she just shrugged it off and wandered mindlessly to the gates to the plane she was supposed to be boarding. Or so she thought.
As Chloe stepped up to the gate. She read in her head 'Flight 908', well Salem here I come. Home to Nancy, Craig, Sugar, Belle, Shawn, and.... Philip and.....Brady.
'If I could have one wish. Time, just time. I want true love. I don't want to hurt. And yet that all comes in the package' Chloe thought as she quickly handed her ticket to the attendance accepting them.
Never once did Chloe think about checking to make sure she was on the right flight or the right plane. Nor had the attendance who had been to deeply involved in conversation with another co-worker to realize the mistake unfolding in front of her eyes.
And as Chloe took a seat on an airplane that was very much loaded she realized her seat had been occupied by another soul but the one besides the person had been left empty.
'Maybe I got the seats mixed up' as Chloe took the seat besides the young fellow. He looked up and watched Chloe with curious eyes as she fidgeted around in her seat seeking comfort for the long trip ahead.
'All in due time' he thought to himself as an ear to ear devilish grin burned his face. And thoughts of 'fun' seeped into his head.
As Chloe sat in her seat she found herself unable to face reality so decided that the best way to end her mind from constant worry of what would happen next once landed in Salem she decided to just sleep off the worry. Maybe all of her problems wouldn't be fixed or known at all but it was better than causing herself to get worked up and wasn't even called for...yet.
'No worries Chloe Lane' she thought....
But would everything be alright?.........
************
In Salem
'Why didn't she ride back with us' he thought. Philip. He knew the answer already but something told him something about not knowing where Chloe was for sure was not lifting his spirits any. Something felt wrong about this whole thing. Something wasn't right about the situation. Just a feeling in his body, but what was it. What was Brady trying to tell himself he should have already known. Was it that...
"Son" John said to his eldest son (interrupting his previous thoughts) who had been so into himself he hadn't even realized everyone else had began to file out of the jet. "is something bothering you, because you haven't even acknowledged the fact that it is just now me and you aboard this jet?.." as John questioned further "you've been acting pretty occupied and have had the same look in your eyes throughout this whole trip, is there something you want to let me in on?" John said as he had some idea as to why his son had been so quiet. Only one person had recently and probably always effected Brady this way. In a word Chloe. 'and thats a fact' John silently thought. As amusing as this was. For his son to be falling for someone and deny it so much, this wasn't the time to confront him on it he realized. Not when there was a celebration about to happen. "You know what Brady, just come to me when you feel up to it, okay? Now lets get this show on the run. Because there is still a lot being planned and we need to stall for awhile." John said as he noted that he had his sons attention but something was still missing.
"Yeah, okay Dad be right there" said Brady as he stood to stretch his cramped arm, wrist and hand. Since he had laid his head there continuously throughout the trip as he thought to himself.
Brady began to follow his father as something heavy hit him hard. "Chloe" he said aloud not realizing he wasn't alone. "something's wrong" he continued.
As a frantic twinkle entered his eyes.
"What, what's wrong with Chloe?" John asked in a hushed but worried tone. He didn't want to upset his Izzy B after all that had happened.
Brady realizing what he had just said and it too, quickly changed his tune. "Nothing Dad, I'm just a little jumpy, that's all" or was that all he thought.
Seconds later Brady found himself walking. Not knowing the force that helped carry him to the expecting limo but he had made it there and sat next to his father. As he went back to his gaze he had been having on his way over.
'Why can't I get this feeling out of me?' Brady questioned as the limo began. And so would the stalling....
*************
"I miss her so much, Mom" Philip told his mother as they were approaching Salem quicker than they realized aboard the Titan jet. Less than 20 minutes to be back and he still hadn't come with a way to approach the girl that kept him alive all that time on the island. The one who saved him from a possible death. The one he loved so very much and may not be able to hold again if he didn't get his act straight. "I just wish I knew if she was alright. But then again Brady probably is making sure of that. If that is who she's with since that is the only other possibility" said Philip through a non jealous but sarcastic tone of voice.
"Philip, Chloe is a big girl. She doesn't need you to be her protector 24/7. After all you just got released try to remain calm for me. And patient, all in time will your wishes be answered. Please keep a healthy path and wait...don't rush her, okay?" Kate asked in her concerned mothers voice.
"Yes Mom, of course whatever Chloe needs. I just don't know what she wants but I do know one thing. I know she cares for me. She proved that and I knew what I knew back then. And I also know something else.." said Philip as he drifted off to happy times with Chloe.
"And whats that" Kate inquired.
"I won't give her up without a fight" Philip said quietly as he too made a silent confession. 'I loved her too much and made the relationship too intense before but never again. This time it will be slower' he thought as he said aloud "I just wish... I wish I could get that second chance to love. To love Chloe the way she knew before all the jealousy and my huge ego." 'I just wish. Just wish. Wish.' Philip thought as a tear trickled down his left cheek. And he didn't even swat it away.
As Philip looked out the windows of the sky. The big blue sky, he thought of some big blue eyes...
*********
As Brady stared out the limo to the wondrous big blue sky and dazed into it. He remembered the soul of a beautiful raven haired beauty with bluest eyes that sometimes even the sky or sea failed in comparison. This was one of those times.
*********
"I love you Chloe Lane" Philip said aloud to the sky.
*********
"I.." Brady had started but was interrupted once again by his father as the stalling routine had finally been through and they had been pulling into the Brady Pub, were expecting parents were waiting to hold there kids in there arms once more.
"Lets get this show on the road" said a very loud John as Belle, Shawn, and Mimi were wondering why they had been stopping at the pub.
********************
20 Minutes earlier
"Mr. Woods have you seen Chloe Lane" said Mrs. Martinez.
"No, I thought she was over there sitting not too long ago?" said a very dejected Mr. Woods. Not again was all he could think.
"I saw her speaking with Jan. Well not as much speaking as what I am hearing from others maybe I should go ask Jan" and with that Mrs. Martinez walked off.
---
"Jan have you seen Chloe" said Mrs. Martinez.
"Umm, yeah..I think...I mean I saw her...She got her things and walked off to the gate already..." said Jan forcing herself not to breakdown and keep a straight face throughout all her pain. Talking or stuttering out what she could.
"Okay, are you sure? I'm sorry for all the questioning but I have to make sure?" said Mrs. Martinez once again.
"Uh yeah" said Jan as everyone was already standing in line to board the plane. She quickly gathered her things and as she was walking to the line she bumped into a little old lady. "oh sorry" Jan said as she looked into the face of the woman she hit. "Hey I know you" said Jan as it was becoming apparent this wasn't just any old lady....
