Three

The first face Chloe seen was Tyler's, he was sitting on the bed beside her staring intently at the TV in the corner of the room. The room Chloe remembered well, it was hers, a huge sledge bed dominated the middle of it. The walls were still the same, one wall dark red while the others cream. She sat up slowly, trying to focus her eyes.

"Hey! Your awake" smiled Tyler thankfully. Chloe smiled back as she rubbed her sleepy eyes. What had happened? Her smile faded as she remembered her previous conversation in the kitchen with Caleb. Tyler smiled half heartedly as he realised what she must be thinking about.

"You fainted" muttered a voice from the other side of the room. There, sat on the wide ledge at the window was Reid. He stared at the raindrops that hit the window while Chloe spoke

"Yea I know. It happens sometimes" she muttered. Reid shot her a glance.

"You've fainted before?" he asked anxiously. Chloe nodded

"Its only happened a couple of times though…where's Caleb?" she asked.

"hmm…he's staying with Sarah" replied Reid without taking his eyes off the window.

"Sarah?" Chloe questioned puzzled. Tyler grinned with excitement

"Sarah's his girlfriend" Chloe laughed in surprise.

"He actually managed to get himself one, I am impressed"

As she spoke, Tyler had whipped out his phone to text Caleb. He'd been asked to text him when Chloe finally woke up.

"So" started Chloe stuck on what to say next.

"I still can't believe your here" Tyler sighed contently. Chloe nodded in agreement as she stared around the room of her thirteen year old self.

"Neither can I"

Reid stared out the window, most of the time, trying to avoid Chloe's gaze. It had hurt him to watch her sleep the past few hours, the change in her made him realise just how much he'd missed her and how much he'd missed out on. It was during those early hours of the morning that Reid made a promise to himself - he'd never let Chloe be taken from them like that again.

As Tyler watched TV, Chloe's mind was elsewhere. Lost in her own little world, she was oblivious to what was happening around her, including Tyler trying to get Reid's attention.

It was the quick, sharp movement of a scrunched up piece of paper that brought Chloe back to reality.

"Tyler, WHAT IS IT?" snapped Reid. Tyler sheepishly raised an eyebrow at him.

"are you going to ask her or shall I?" asking Tyler mockingly.

"ask me what?" asked Chloe, worried all of a sudden. Reid's face was unreadable as he dismissed Tyler's question.

Unknown to Chloe, Reid wasn't being rude to Tyler, he just didn't want to hear the answer to the question Tyler was dying to ask her. He returned his stare to the window, trying to concentrate on the sound of the rain rather then hearing the sound of Chloe's coming answer.

"ask me what?" asked Chloe anxiously, worried by the stern look on Reid's face. Tyler smiled clearly enjoying the whole thing.

"who's Adrian?" he asked smiling widely. Chloe's smile disappeared.

"How do you know about him?" demanded Chloe angrily, clearly upset.

"He keeps phoning, you've got like twenty missed calls from him" Tyler quickly defended confused by her reaction.

"Sorry…I didn't mean any harm by it, sorry, I shouldn't have looked."

Chloe smiled weakly.

"Nah…its ok Tyler, don't worry about it" she encouraged, trying to lightened her tone. It wasn't his fault. She knew she'd have to tell them now, although the whole plane trip home she had been hoping to avoid the whole situation. Chloe reluctantly reached for her small cell phone that Tyler had grabbed from the nearby bedside table.

Tyler was right, she had missed calls all right and they were all from him. Anger flashed across her face as she read the text he'd sent her earlier

Please answer.

Let me explain. Im sorry.

I love you.

She'd deal with him later. Right now, Tyler was patiently waiting for his answer despite Chloe's angry outburst. She heavily sighed.

"What I tell you Tyler, Reid" she stated glancing at them both "You have to promise me it goes no further than this room. I don't want Caleb to know. Its hurts enough without him knowing too and besides he'll only get angry." Chloe stared at her lap trying to muster the strength to tell them. It was the extra pressure on the bed that made her look up.

"I promise" Reid whispered as he sat in front of Chloe. She smiled weakly and looked at Tyler

"Same" he nodded agreeing with Reid. Chloe took a deep breath, there was no going back now.
