Okay guys, it took me awhile to get this one out. But at least I don't take
as long to update as SOME people. (Cough, cough, Savannah, cough, cough!)
Well, read and review, pleease guys!!
Chloe sighed as she looked out at the window at the passing landscape. She and the other nurses were on a train on the way to a dance club to meet the soldiers. She looked around at the other girls and thought, 'I can't believe they accepted all my stories about Shane, and my bruises.'
"Chlo'?"
Chloe was snapped quickly out of her thoughts as Betty called her name. "Yeah?" she asked.
"Are you feelin' ok? You look a little pale," Betty told her, looking a little worried.
"Oh, I feel fine. Don't worry about me," Chloe replied, "I'm just a little tired."
"Are you sure? Okay," Betty said as Chloe nodded at her and smiled.
Chloe took a deep breath as Barbara begged Evelyn to tell her story of her and Rafe had met at medical exams.
"It's such a long story," Evelyn told them.
"We've got time," said the heavy-set nurse sitting across from Chloe.
"I was there," bragged Barbara.
Chloe groaned as Evelyn started. "Hey guys, I'm gonna go to the bathroom, ok?"
"You ok, Chloe?" Sandra (a pretty nurse with short dark hair) asked her.
"Oh yeah, I've just heard this story before," she told her.
Chloe brushed a strand of dark blond hair off her forehead, and made her way towards the bathroom. She walked over to the mirror, and leaned on the sink. She shook her head and turned some cold water on. As she splashed some water on her face, she examined herself. She wasn't anything special, a nice figure with dark blond hair and unusual violet eyes framed by dark lashes that she had inherited from her mother's side of the family. Chloe grabbed a paper towel and pressed it against her face.
'I wonder what's gonna happen tonight,' she thought to herself, and threw the paper towel away. 'I really hope Danny comes. Now that Shane and I aren't together, Danny and I can be close without worrying about Shane.'
Chloe walked slowly back to her seat, and smiled when she realized that Evelyn was done with her story.
"Chloe, you never told us that you and Danny had something goin' on," Betty said, accusingly.
"Well, we're just friends," Chloe said nervously looking at them all with wide eyes.
"You guys write some pretty long letters for just being 'friends'" Evelyn said teasingly.
"Oh, look guys, we're here," Chloe said, realizing that the train was slowing down.
"Oh, Chloe, you're not getting out of it that easily," Betty told her.
"Okay," Chloe said, surrendering, "I think I like Danny. But I don't think he feels the same way. And I REALLY don't think I'm ready for another relationship so fast."
"Oh hon," Evelyn said, her eyes scrunched up, "you don't think Danny likes you? Rafe said he's like, obsessed with you."
"Yeah right," Chloe said laughingly. "Hey, we really ARE here now. The train stopped."
The girls got up and gathered their things. Chloe took a deep breath, and mentally prepared herself for seeing Danny again.
