Chapter 14
Chloe bit her lip as she looked over her outfit one more time. After some planning starting the moment Chloe had finished her therapy, she and Rachel were preparing to head out on a date. She wanted to look good, for this to go well.
'I just hope Rachel likes this, I mean...' She began to think but shook her head. 'Urgh, calm down Chloe, of course she will, she said it herself, anything works...'
Shrugging she casually observed her outfit again. She was wearing her black Firewalk T-shirt and usual trashed jeans and sneakers, along with her triple bullet necklace and her one concession to make-up, light blue finger-nail polish. Overall her usual self, but it felt like she was missing something.
She took a moment to consider. 'Hmm, I wonder, should I...fuck it, why not?'
With that she grinned and pulled on her navy blue beanie before heading out of her house to her truck, starting it up and driving towards the Amber house to pick Rachel up.
Meanwhile, in her own room, Rachel finished getting dressed, smiling lightly as she considered herself in the mirror.
'Hmm, okay, looks good.' She thought at last. 'I better hurry, I don't wanna keep Chloe waiting.'
Her smile widened a little at that, she was honestly glad she and Chloe were getting to have this moment. After all the hectic stuff that had been happening, followed by Chloe's diagnosis, it was a relief to just do something normal for once. She grinned, considering her outfit once more. She was wearing a black T-shirt with a red plaid unbuttoned shirt over it, black distressed jeans and sneakers, along with a black choker necklace and her usual bracelet.
She nodded, satisfied. 'Alright, that takes care of that, let's get going, can't wait to see Chloe and get this date started.'
So, with that enthusiasm guiding her, Rachel left her room and headed out of the house to meet Chloe and begin their date.
It was a remarkable bit of timing on her part, Rachel felt, as she stepped out of the house just as Chloe pulled up. She grinned and hurried up to the truck, climbing in, they both took not of each other's outfits.
"Wow, you...you look amazing." Chloe gasped.
Rachel grinned. "Thanks, you look great too, so, shall we?"
Putting the truck in gear they drove off, both grinning widely.
"I can hardly wait." She said softly. "I'm looking forward to this."
Rachel grinned. "Me too, Chloe, me too."
With that they drove on, looking forward to the night ahead.
Later, as they sat, enjoying their dinner in the restaurant; Rachel pondered for a moment.
"You know, I was just wondering..." She said. "Chloe, what, do you think is gonna happen now, now that you've, you know..."
She nodded, thinking to herself. "To be honest, I don't know, but...I'm sure I'll think of something. Maybe you could help me."
Sipping her drink Rachel smiled. "That, would be great."
She nodded, it was a sign of hope, Chloe was just hoping that she'd find less destructive ways to cope with things and hopefully overcome the worst of her BPD. She just hoped Rachel could indeed help her and that they'd tackle it together. They continued to enjoy the rest of the meal, casually chatting, Chloe was happy beyond belief; things had certainly changed ever since Rachel came into her life. Yet none more so than the past several weeks, she was sure.
'I wonder, what else could life throw at me...well, whatever it is, it's time I started facing it, instead of running.' Chloe thought to herself.
She pushed the thought aside for now however, she wouldn't let it spoil her night. This would be a happy night, she was determined to see that.
Arriving back at the Amber house after the dinner, Chloe was smiling brighter than ever before.
'Wow, this has been the most amazing night so far.' She thought in amazement. 'It was a typical date but, it just felt more...free somehow. We should really do this again sometime.'
For now however, that could wait. Stepping out of the truck they made their way to the Amber's front door.
"Well I had a lovely time." She said. "I...I hope we can do this again sometime."
Rachel nodded. "I agree, I had a wonderful time too, I'll come around and see you tomorrow, okay."
"I'll be waiting."
They kissed; enjoying the rush of emotions it brought, as if it was their first time again, before finally parting, Rachel heading inside and Chloe returning to her truck to drive home; both of them happier than they had been ever before in their lives.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
