Chapter 3
Chloe stifled a yawn as she made her way through the corridors of Blackwell; true to his word, Rachel's father James had managed to get her back into the school.
'My opinion of this place hasn't really changed...I just have a different purpose now.' She reflected. 'I want to get through this, to graduate, so at least Rachel can be proud to date me, rather than having to date the high school drop-out.'
As it was, whenever Chloe struggled, never with her classes, usually more with the people and various 'factions' around the school, she reminded herself of why she was doing this. It always worked to calm her down and enabled her to keep going. It was currently lunch time and after texting Rachel to find out where she was, Chloe was on her way there now. She had to admit, while not unheard of, it was unusual for Rachel to be in the library at lunch time, at least so early.
Still she shrugged. 'Well, whatever, I'd better get over there.'
So, making her way through the crowds, Chloe headed for the library, it had taken some time but to her relief she no longer needed the extra classes, having caught up on everything she had missed. As such she was finally free to do things like enjoy her lunch break, hanging out with her girlfriend.
Entering the library Chloe looked around for Rachel and soon spotted her on one of the school computers. Smirking she approached quietly and wrapped her arms around Rachel from behind.
"Hey there." She said quietly.
Her smirk widened when Rachel jumped, but then Rachel laughed.
"Hey yourself."
Chloe then asked. "So, what are you up to?"
That was when she noticed something strange.
Rachel suddenly seemed to go quiet. "Oh, I just...nothing big, it's..."
She was moving to try and turn the computer screen off. But her behaviour had caught Chloe's attention and Chloe immediately caught her hand.
"Rachel..."
Rachel groaned but said nothing more, merely bowing her head as Chloe got a good look at the computer screen.
She raised an eyebrow. "Researching...nightmares, Rachel?"
She looked down at Rachel who was biting her lip, blushing. "I just..."
"That's...kinda sweet." Chloe replied with a soft smile. "But really, there's no need, I'm fine...touched that you care so much you're wanting to slog through all that just for me. But I'm okay, don't worry about me."
Rachel laughed softly. "Hey it's for my peace of mind too, you know. I'm mean, don't you think it's kinda insulting to me that my girl has a nightmare the morning after we've made love for the first time?"
Chloe snickered at that, seeing clearly that Rachel was simply joking around when she said that. Nodding Rachel stood up, as Chloe stepped back. Shutting the computer off, Rachel turned to Chloe.
"Well, anyway, let's go, get something to eat, huh?"
Chloe nodded. "Couldn't agree more, let's go."
With that they linked hands and left the library.
As they walked however, Rachel was deep in thought.
'You keep saying you're fine Chloe, but I know that's a lie...I'll be watching to make sure and if things are as bad as a I fear.' She reflected. 'I'll have no choice.'
She hated the thought of doing this, but she knew that, if Chloe truly was struggling due to her nightmares, it would be up to her to take some sort of action, to ensure that Chloe got the help she needed, before it was too late.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
