Chapter 5 - Before Ilos
Hey guys! Here's #5!
I'm uploading the next chapter for every story. I'm going to let some steam out for today. I hope these will satisfy your reading needs!
"God Damn it!" John cursed, full of anger.
He was leaning on the rail outside of Chloe's Office. He didn't want to go in while he was raging, for his sake.
Ambassador Bastard Udina locked down the Normandy. John fallen into their preying hands. Saren was out there, probably on Ilos, looking for the Conduit.
"John!" Came a familiar voice from behind.
He turned to see the woman of his life, Chloe. He prayed to the man above that his anger doesn't go off on her. For he will risk his world shattering, then he will kill himself for severing their love and destroying her heart.
"Hey," John greeted her, trying to stay calm.
They embraced, John has missed the feeling of holding her in his arms. It rested his blazing soul.
"I've missed you," she told him.
"And I've missed you," John replied.
"Is there something wrong?" She asked after they departed, noticing his tone.
"Yes."
"What is it?"
"The Human Ambassador locked down the Normandy. I can't get out!" He said, throwing his arms into the air, turning to the view of passing sky cars, leaning on the rails.
"Why did they do that?" She asked in shock.
"The dumbass council is scared of starting a war in the Terminus systems if they send the fleet there," he explained with angriness.
"You can't give up! What about us? If you don't do something, then we won't have that time to spend together!" She told him, tears sweeping up from the thought.
He looked into her eyes, seeing caring and loyalty, he couldn't give up.
"No, I can't, since I made a promise to Girl that I love, and I plan on keeping that promise," he said to her.
She smiled at him.
He had the thought of not returning, tears came to his eyes from the thinking.
She saw them too, "What's wrong?"
"It's just..." He faltered to say, "The unbearable thought of not coming back...to see that beautiful face of yours, and the smiles."
The tears she had swelling up? Now escaped, "Please, John...don't say that!"
He walked up to her, bringing his hands up to caress her face, "And if...I don't make it back, but I save the Galaxy, just know...I will always love you, forever and after..."
She was sobbing, he wrapped his arms around, and held her tight. Letting her soak his civilian Attire.
"But, Know this, I will fight to the last of my fiber being to make it back to you," he told her.
She nodded in his arms, "I will be here waiting."
John released her from his embrace.
His Omni-Tool beeped, he looked to see a message from Anderson.
"Ok, I've got to meet up with Anderson," He told her.
She nodded, "Go Ahead, you need to hurry."
He began headed towards Flux, before turning upon hearing his name being called.
"I love you," were the three words that left her mouth.
His heart skipped a beat when he heard them, "I love you too, Chloe."
She smiled at his words, it brightened his mood. She has given him a reason to fight, and he was going to fight.
The Normandy was on its way to the Mu Relay.
Anderson has taken the safe course of unlocking the Normandy's systems by going in and punching Udina into unconsciousness and releasing the Normandy from his computer.
John also asked a favor of the Captain,
"What is it?" Anderson asked.
"Here, in the wards, Dr. Chloe Michel? If Saren and The Geth come here, please keep her safe and out of harm's way."
"Oh, Her? You're in love with Dr. Michel?"
John nodded, "Yes, Sir. I am."
Anderson nodded back, understanding, "I'll keep those Geth bastards off of her. You have my word."
"Thank you, Sir. I can't live without her..."
The Commander was in the Captain's Quarters. Nervous as Hell. Chloe was bouncing all in his head. He was sitting at his desk, face-palming his face, trying to get rid of the nervousness. He needed a clear head to focus. He looked at a picture next to him, facing him.
On the face of that picture was Chloe. Looking at her wonderful face filled his mind, clearing the doubts he had at first. He grabbed it to bring in a closer look.
He heard his doors open, he looked to see His Turian friend, Garrus.
"Hey, Commander," he greeted John.
"Hey, Garrus," John replied.
"Nervous?" The Turian asked.
"Hell yes."
Garrus walked up to him, to only see Chloe's picture.
"Look what we have here," Garrus commented, directing at the photo.
"Yeah? So What?" John said.
The Turian chuckled, "I didn't think you had a thing for her."
"Well, I did, I didn't, I?"
"So, She's the reason you kept running away from us," Garrus said, grinning.
John chuckled, "Yep. I love her..."
"You do? Well, add one for the doctors and their damn medicine."
John grinned at him, "You're a bastard, you know that, right?"
The Turian laughed, "I sure am."
John got up, "Alright, I've got to get some shut-eye before we hit Ilos. See you, Garrus."
The Turian nodded, "I'll let you sleep."
John nodded back, "Thanks."
"Anytime, Commander," Garrus said before he exited.
John looked at the Amazing woman in the picture on his desk one more time, his purpose was clear. He went and laid down on his bed.
Before his lights were out, Chloe's face appeared. He slept peacefully after that.
There's #5!
