Chapter 13
Chloe wasn't sure what made her do it, but she felt it had to be done. That was why, when she came back from the therapist's office and found her mother, Rachel and David all waiting for her, she told them the whole story, everything the therapist said.
"That's...that's it really, that's everything." She finished at last as she told them about his diagnosis.
She could see they were in shock and she couldn't blame them. For it to be revealed, so suddenly, that she had Borderline Personality Disorder certainly had to have hit hard.
"Chloe, that's..." Rachel began, uncertainly.
Chloe just shook her head. "I know, I don't even know where to start, it's just so...confusing and, and..."
David however spoke up at that moment. "Chloe, that's all true but, you know you have this now and you've accepted that you do. You want to do something about it. That takes real courage, to admit something like that...I'm proud of you for that."
To say Chloe was speechless was an understatement, she never imagined David saying anything like that.
"Well, like the therapist said." She remarked, trying to cover her shock. "Halfway to dealing with it is realizing you have it...Guess I need to, start seeing a specialist now, or something."
Joyce nodded. "We'll figure it out Chloe, don't worry."
Rachel nodded too. "Yeah, we can tackle this together, right."
Chloe smiled at that and nodded, glad to have Rachel so sure, glad that Rachel was by her side. Although she still harboured some doubts inside, personal ones that she kept to herself.
Later that night however, upstairs in her room, she soon found out she hadn't hid her feelings as well as she thought. She had just finished getting ready for bed when there was a knock at the door.
"Chloe, can I come in?"
"Mom?" Chloe gasped, startled. "Uh, sure."
The door opened and Joyce entered, smiling softly.
"Chloe, you don't have to hide things you know." She said. "We've all been through too much for that."
Chloe realized her mother must have seen through her, seen her doubts. Sitting down on her bed, sighing, she thought for a moment and then replied.
"It's not that I don't want to tell anyone. I just, don't know how to put these feelings and worries I have into words." She said.
Sitting next to her Joyce smiled. "I think I know what's bothering you and I want to tell you something."
"What?"
Joyce's smile grew wider as she then embraced Chloe tightly and spoke.
"Don't let this diagnosis make you feel as if you're somehow less of a person. No matter what, you are still my daughter, and I love you."
Chloe couldn't help herself, she returned the embrace and smiled too. "Mom...I love you too, thank you."
It still amazed Chloe how easily her mother was able to read her emotions and always knew just how to help her, especially at her weakest moments.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
