Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over. "Stay" is a charming word in a friend's vocabulary.

Do you ever find yourself in a situation and wonder, what am I doing here? Lucy was currently in that state of mind. The day had been starting out normal. School had ended and she was making her way home, when a limo pulled up beside her. For a moment, she had kept walking, thinking it was more of a random occurrence but when the window rolled down and her name was shouted out from an oh so familiar voice, Lucy stopped and looked over with a raised eyebrow.

"Can I help you Chloe?" She asked, unsure what the blue eyed girl could want from her.

"You most definitely can! Now, be a dear and get in the limo." Chloe popped open the door and scooted over, waiting for Lucy to get inside. Lucy was hesitant to do so and for a moment just stared at her with uncertainty before getting inside. Chloe clapped her hands with glee and told the driver to head home before making small talk with Lucy. This is what lead her to her current location of Chloe Bourgeois's bed. Silently watching the girl toss around her clothes as she tried to find something to wear. Chloe had not given any explanation to why she had brought Lucy with her and the darker blonde girl was beginning to loose her patience in waiting for one.

"This is rubbish! Ugh, I don't have a thing to wear! This one is way too pink! Those are so last season!" She picks up two pairs of shoes, brown heel ankle boots in her right hands, while holding another pair of red shoes in her left. "Those don't cost nearly as much. And these are never in season! Agh, I hate all of these!" She complains tossing the shoes aside.

"Chloe." Lucy says sternly, making Chloe poke her head out from her closet to look at her.

"What?" She pouts.

"What am I doing here?"

Chloe steps further out of the closet and places her hands on her hips. "Your supposed to help me find an outfit but clearly that isn't going to happen because everything I own is trash!"

"Wha- Chloe." Lucy pinched the bridge of her nose in irritation. "Why have you dragged me here to help you pick out an outfit?"

"I need a second opinion. That's what friends do, they help each other look cute."

"Oh! of course!" Lucy exclaimed crossing her arms and legs. "How could I be so silly, there is just one issue. We are not friends."

Chloe scoffed and waved her hand at Lucy dismissively. "Of course we are Lucy goosey! Remember that time you came over and hung out? We did some homework, talked about your blooming relationship with Chat Noir."

Lucy blinked at her. "When I..? What?" She stood and brought her hands up in a defensive manner. "First of all, never call me that again. Secondly, are you talking about months ago when the Evillustrator was after you? Because we got absolutely no homework done and I most definitely did not discuss any blooming relationship with Chat Noir with you."

"That's because it was still new! I bet you have plenty of details to share now!" Chloe said clasping her hands together and lifting one foot of the floor. Lucy looked at her bewildered and got up from the bed. She marched over to Chloe and placed her hand on her forehead.

"Are you sick? Did you hit your head on something? Or are you seriously this delusional?"

Chloe clasped Lucy's hands in her own and gave a small smile. "Aw, look at you, making sure looking after me. Such a good friend." Lucy ripped her hands away from Chloe.

"Stop it. What is going on? Where is Sabrina? Why are you-"

"Don't speak that name!" Chloe said with a glare as she plopped down on one of her couches and crossed her arms. Lucy sighed and placed her hands on her hips. "Now we are getting somewhere." She took a seat next to Chloe and turned to rest her arm against the back of the couch.

"Did something happen between you and-" Chloe gave her a pointed look. "She who shall not be named?"

Turning away, Chloe huffed. "No." Lucy rolled her eyes and licked her lips. "Then why can her name not be said. And where is she for that matter?" Chloe began bouncing her crossed legs and shrugged her shoulders. Lucy bit the inside of her cheek and nodded, drumming her fingers against the back of the couch.

"Umhm...okay. I"m gonna go." She said standing. Chloe turned back to her and frowned.

"What!? Why!?"

Lucy looked at her in disbelief. "Because I don't know why I am here in the first place Chloe. I don't know what happened between you and Sabr-"

"Don't!"

"Sabrina Sabrina Sabrina!" Lucy shouted in annoyance making Chloe huff. "I don't know what happened between you two, but in case you have not noticed: I'm not Sabrina. And I am not going to dance around you're little attitude. So either say whatever it is you dragged me all the way over here to say, or I'm out." She said thumbing the door. Chloe pouted in her seat, fidgeting under Lucy's gaze. Communication. It's the first thing we really learn in life. Funny thing is, once we get older, learn our words and really start talking the harder it becomes to know what to say. Or how to ask for what we really need.

"Forget it." Chloe finally said after a long pause. "This was a stupid idea, just go."

Sighing, Lucy walked toward the door of Chloe's suit. She paused as she grabbed the door handle before looking back over at Chloe who's eyes remained on the ground as she scowled.

"I did warn you, you know." She said, catching Chloe's attention as her eyes drifted over to Lucy. "Last time I was here, what did we talk about?" Chloe brought her scowling eyes back to the ground and said nothing and Lucy shook her head in defeat, opening the door and walking out.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOooOoOoOoOoOo

"And you just left?" Adrien asked as he sat beside Lucy outside of the school. She had texted Adrien and ask for him to arrive at school a little early so she could speak with him about Chloe. He was supposed to be her friend after all. Lucy nodded.

"I don't know what is going on with her and Sabrina but my guess would be she got mad at Sabrina for something stupid and is now being a bitch about it. Sabrina is probably hiding away and trying to figure out a way to get Chloe to forgive her, even though Chloe is probably the one who should be apologizing in the first place."

Adrien nodded and sighed. "What do you want me to do about it?"

Lucy shrugged. "I don't know. Nothing I guess. I just...you have mentioned Chloe being one of your closest friends. I figured you might want to know."

Running his hand through his hair to the back of his neck, Adrien nodded again. "Yeah, I mean of course. Chloe is...stubborn. Sabrina knows that. It's nothing new. I'm sure whatever they are going through will blow over in no time."

"Yeah, I guess."

"It will." Adrien confirmed, placing a hand on Lucy's shoulder. "You know you are strangely concerned about Chloe for someone who claims to not be friends with her." He said with a small smile.

"And your strangely unconcerned for someone who says he is."

"I've just seen this before." Adrien explained, his tone soft as he met Lucy's eyes. She leaned her head on his shoulder and sighed.

Bringing his hand down to lace his fingers with hers, Adrien looked down at Lucy.

"Your a good person Lucy. And I appreciate you telling me about Chloe. I'll make sure to talk to her about it soon." Lucy didn't say anything but nodded against his shoulder. They sat like that until students started to arrive.

OoOoOooOoOoOOoOo

Later that day, everyone was in Miss Bustier's room working on their tablets. Ms. Mendeleiev was subbing for the absent teacher which of course meant working silently through the class. Chloe yelped in pain, gaining the attention of the class and the teacher.

"What is it Chloe?" Ms. Mendeleiev asked, glaring down at the blonde girl.

Chloe explained someone had pulled her hair causing the teacher to look at the girl behind Chloe, Mylene who shook her head and told the teacher it was not her. Chloe confirmed this but then went on to explain that the person doing it was some type of invisible being. "Like a leprechaun. Or a unicorn without the horn." This of course made the class break out in laughter and the teacher give her a skeptical look. Ms. Mendeleiev silenced the class but Chloe was once again harassed by an invisible force hitting her in the face with her purse. The teacher demanded she sit down, thinking she was just acting up but Chloe claimed that she could not, as her purse was beating her up. Lucy watched the interaction with a frown as suddenly pens began to be thrown at the preppy blonde. A she runs down the steps, Ms. Mendeleiev tells her to stop and sit down. Lucy wonders if her teachers eyes were truly that bad, as Chloe was clearly, genuinely being attacked by something they all could not see. Chloe once again attempts to do as she is told but is attacked again, her glasses being taken from her head. In attempt to keep them, Chloe is lead to be bent over Miss Bustiers desk, her glasses being forgotten and her hair being pulled. Not being able to watch anymore Lucy gets up from her seat and quickly makes her way down the steps to try and help Chloe.

"Get back in your seat Lucy!" Ms. Mendeleiev says attempting to stop her form going any farther. Lucy shakes her arm away from the teacher and continues forward.

"Mam, something is wrong!" Lucy shouts back, reaching for Chloe. She is however knocked down by the invisible force as Chloe runs out of the class room. From the ground Lucy looks up at the teacher who gives her a dumbfound look, clearly uncertain of what just happened. Lucy shook her head and frowned at her teacher before getting off the floor and going after Chloe. She glances at Adrien in passing and the blonde boy can't help but let guilt run though him. He quickly raises his hand to go to the bathroom, needing a reason to leave so he can figure out exactly what was going on.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"Chloe! Slow down!" Lucy shouted, jogging up from behind her. Chloe stopped momentarily and glared at Lucy.

"What do you want?! Come to laugh at me!? Tell me I'm crazy!? Well I don't need it! I don't need you or anyone else for that matter okay!? So...go away!" She then turns back around and starts speed walking away, leaving Lucy to chase after her. Lucy catches up to her pretty quickly and places a hand on Chloe's shoulder who instinctively flinches away from her.

"Don't!" She yells before growing quieter. "Don't touch me."

Lucy gives Chloe a sympathetic look. "It's going to be okay Chloe."

"Yeah? What do you know?" Chloe snips back, crossing her arms.

"I know, that this is a weird situation you are in. And who always shows up when things get weird?"

Chloe's eyes light up lightly as she seems to bit hit with an Epiphany.

"Ladybug!"

Lucy carefully walks closer to Chloe, putting a gentle arm around her shoulder.

"Come on," She says. "Lets get you home."

OoOoOoOoOoOoOOoOo

Ladybug and Chat Noir arrived soon after Chloe and Lucy, and as expected, Chloe was ecstatic to see her favorite super hero.

"Ladybug!" She shouted, running to hug the polka-dot wearing hero. "I knew you'd come to save me! You know, considering what good friends we are!" Ladybug recoiled from Chloe, clearly still not wanting to be close to the girl. Lucy giggled at little, finding Chloe's child like excitement amusing. Chat Noir nudged Lucy's shoulder, giving her a wink.

"And of course you both know my friend Lucy!" She said placing her hands on Lucy's shoulder. "Especially you Chat Noir." She then added with a wink. The feline themed hero blushed lightly and scratched the back of his neck, giving an awkward laugh. Ladybug rolled her eyes and looked at Lucy.

"What are you doing here anyway Lucy?" Ladybug asked.

"Because she was concerned for my safety of course!" Chloe claimed before Lucy could reply. "Friends look out for one another after all. You know that Ladybug!" Ladybug nodded slowly before bringing her gaze back to Lucy who have a half smile and shrugged. Chloe wasn't totally wrong. Lucy was there because she was concerned for her well being. As much of a brat Chloe could be, Lucy couldn't imagine standing by knowing someone was being attacked by what she could only assume was an akumatized person. Based of yesterdays conversation, and the fact that the ginger girl was no where to be seen, Lucy was willing to bet money that it was Sabrina. As angry as she knew Sabrina probably was with Chloe, Lucy knew that once Ladybug and Chat Noir captured the akuma, Sabrina would come running back to Chloe. And of course, Lucy was almost certain Chloe would take her back and never speak of this situation again. She didn't know if the two girls friendship was was dysfunctional or admirable. Maybe both. After all, true friends are those who come into your life, see the most negative part of you, but are not ready to leave you, no matter how contagious you are to them. Ladybug and Chat asked Chloe if she had had any run ins with anyone, which Chloe denied, claiming that everyone adores her. Lucy crossed her arms and gave Chloe a pointed look that went ignored buy the blue eyed girl.

"Really? Not even with your closest friend?" Ladybug asked, holding up a photo of Chloe and Sabrina. Chloe assured Ladybug that Sabrina idolized her and would never be capable of attacking her. Not totally convinced, Ladybug assured the Mayor that Chloe was safe in her suite and that they would get to the bottom of it. Before they could leave the room Lucy followed close behind and reached for Ladybug and Chats arms.

"Chloe and Sabrina definitely had a fight. I don't know what about, and Chloe is known for her short temperament with Sabrina so I can't be for sure that she is the one behind this but don't totally rule her out. Maybe ask some of the staff." Ladybug thanked her and the heroes made their way down stairs. Chloe crossed her arms at Lucy who gave her a raised eyebrow.

"Yes?"

"Sabrina would never be capable of attacking me Lucy. You just wait."

Leading Lucy to her tv monitor, Chloe opened the security footage, showing Ladybug and Chat talking to one of the staff about her last encounter with Sabrina. He explained how She and Chloe were pretending to Ladybug and Chat, when Chloe was actually mistaken for Ladybug by Jagged Stone. Chloe went along with it but was given away by Sabrina, which resulted in her getting angry with her BFF. Sabrina had try to come back and smooth things over with Chloe, but the blonde would not have it and rejected Sabrina's complete existence. The story was enough to to convince Ladybug and Chat that Sabrina was definitely the akumatized victim. Chloe huffs while watching them on the TV.

"She's too weak to do something so bold, especially to me. You're wrong!"

Lucy rubs her temples in frustration.

"Chloe do I seem menacing to you?" Chloe raised an eyebrow at her.

"No...Well...maybe." Lucy rolled her eyes.

"How about Mylene? Nino? Kim? Nathaniel?"

"Ugh, no of course not."

"Well they all attacked you. Scaredy cat Mylene, super friendly Nino, in love with you Kim, and shy Nathaniel. People are capable of being very dangerous under the influence of an Akuma Chloe. No matter how much it seems like we would never go to such extremes normally."

The two girls attention was brought back to the screen as the saw Ladybug and Chat Noir get into a fighting stance, shielding themselves from the invisible attacker with their weapons. Chloe got up and made her way to her closet, taking a remote and pushing a button revealing her Ladybug costume.

"If it really is you Sabrina, then I want to be the one to take you down. You didn't get my costume, invisible one. Now you'll have to face me."

"Is that really a good idea Chloe?" Lucy asked walking over and crossing her arms. Chloe went into her closet and changed, ignoring Lucy in the process. When she emerged from the closest, Lucy went to grab her arm and stop her again only to be shaken off.

"You can't stop me Lucy, I'm going to teach her not to mess with me!"

"Nothing you just said is accurate. But fine, you wanna go down their and make a fool of yourself, by all means, have at it. A word of advise though, not that you'll take it, stop being such a jerk all the time and you wont need to suit up for battle in your make believe super hero outfit okay? Sabrina becoming a bad guy doesn't turn you into a good one."

Chloe gave Lucy a harsh look before running to the elevator and making her way down stairs. Lucy's words stung. She would not run from Sabrina. She would never admit it, but Chloe knew this was her fault. It usually was. We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers, but never blame yourself. It's never your fault. But it's always your fault, because if you wanted to change you're the one who has got to change. It wasn't that simple though. Somewhere inside her is a merciful, forgiving person. Somewhere there is a girl who tries to understand what people are going through, who accepts that people are different and unique in their own way. Chloe swears to herself she exists, and she wants so badly to be the better person and do the right things. But if Chloe saw her, she wouldn't recognize her.

"Looking for me Sabrina? I'm right here! Come on!" Chloe shouted from the top of the stairs. Ladybug clearly did not want her in harms way but Chloe couldn't back down. Chloe scanned the area as she made her way down the main stairway.

"If you stop this ridiculousness right now, I might let you be my BFF again." She said, trying to bribe Vanisher.

"You've got no friends left, Chloe. And you'll never have any, ever again. I'll make sure of that"

Ladybug quickly tackled Chloe to the ground, saving her from being hit with a book while Chat jumped over a deflected the rest. Ladybug quickly took Chloe behind a pillar and gave her a stern stare.

"You don't scare me! Everybody loves me! I've already replaced you with Lucy!"

"This isn't a game Chloe!"

"Lucy isn't your friend Chloe, you just want her to be." Vanisher mocked cruelly as she snuck up on Ladybug from behind and restrained her. "It's over Ladybug!"

"Not yet, Vanisher!" Ladybug declared, taking her lucky charm, a bottle of glitter which she had summoned just before Chloe's arrival, and tossed it on to Vanisher. The glitter clung to Sabrina's form making her visible to the heroes. Ladybug escapes her grip and gets back into a fighting stance.

"Just because you can see me, doesn't mean you can defeat me Ladybug!"

Chat comes to her side and the duo prepare to attack. Chat distracts Vanisher while Ladybug once again tries to get Chloe out of the way buy hiding her behind another pillar by the front desk. Ladybug then goes back to Chat's side and tells him they need to get Vanisher's bag. Hearing their plan Chloe once again intervenes with the intention to help, explaining she doesn't think that is where the akuma is. In frustration Ladybug snags up Chloe and tosses her into the elevator, telling Chloe she is putting herself and the heroes in danger by sticking around. Chloe then explains that the akuma is in the designer pin she got Sabrina and that it is pinned on her sweater.

"It was a gift from me." She said sweetly, the memory of Sabrina being in such delight over the simple gift filling her mind. It was one of the reasons Chloe liked occasionally buying her things, or letting her barrow stuff from her closet. Sabrina never expected any of it, and when she received gifts from Chloe she was more than grateful. Regardless of what people might think, Chloe did not have to buy Sabrina's friendship. She simply knew herself, she knew how hard of a person she could be and Sabrina up until this point had always taken it in stride. Chloe valued Sabrina's friendship, thus it was something she was willing to invest in the only way she knew how. With things. Ladybug ignored Chloe and sent her back up to her suite, something that infuriated the the blonde. She charged into her room and found Lucy still there, intently watching the screen.

"I told her the akuma is in her pin! Why wont she listen to me!?"

Lucy, who had seen and heard the interaction through the camera nodded with a frown. Though she could understand Ladybug's desire to get Chloe out of the way, she didn't understand why she didn't want to take what Chloe had to say into consideration. After all, if there was one thing any Akumatized person had in common, it was that the item possessed by the Akuma, was usually something of importance to the person it was trying to control. A BFF pin given to her by the person who made her angry enough to be akumatized fit that description perfectly, yet Ladybug went and destroyed the bag first. It was clear to Lucy, that Ladybug's distaste for Chloe was a more personal one, and would not be surprised if Ladybug was someone who Chloe interacted with regularly. Chloe of course interacted with a number of people everyday, so that didn't tell Lucy much. Regardless, the sea green eyed girl felt her feelings toward Ladybug shift slightly. Pettiness was not a good trait in a hero. Personal feelings had to remain on the back burner. Ladybug was a good person, Lucy could see that, but the girl had some maturing to do. She did not know how old Ladybug was, but based on the interaction she just witnessed, Lucy concluded she was most likely not an adult. Not that adults could not be petty, but if she was, Lucy would hope she had better emotional control. When she finally did listen to Chloe and found the akuma, Chat asked her why she had not listened to Chloe in the first place to which Ladybug explained that Chloe had both put them in danger and lied to them earlier. Though her claims were both true, neither was a good enough reason to disregard Chloe the way she had. Lucy scoffed and rolled her eye in disappointment, but Chloe was filled with rage at the accusation of being a liar.

"You're calling me a liar?! How dare you?! I was your hugest fan, but not anymore! You don't deserve my devotion! Ugh!"

She tossed the remote causing the channel to change to the news happening outside the hotel. Ladybug was rushed with question about the defeat of Vanisher, where at no point did she even mention Chloe's help. Lucy watched as Chloe stomped on her mask before breaking down to angry tears. Lucy sighed and went to reach for the dishearten girl when she saw an Akuma fly into the room.

"Chloe!" She shouted, but it did nothing to help as the akuma flew to Chloe's earring. "Shit.." Lucy muttered, taking a step back. She watched as Chloe agreed to help Hawkmoth and transformed into Antibug. Her suit changing to be the opposite of Ladybugs with red on black. "Chloe..." She called out again, much softer. Chloe smiled at Lucy eerily.

"Antibug. You can't stop me Lucy. And this time, that is completely accurate."

"Don't do this...don't let that monster-"

"Monsters are in the eye of the beholder. And no one wants to discover their hero was the true villain of the story. Ladybug is the only monster I see." Chloe then bolted to the balcony and jumped down leaving Lucy to call after her once more.

Lucy ran out to the balcony and watched as Ladybug ran off, probably to transform back, leaving Chat Noir to fight her off alone. Antibug brought the fight to the Balcony and Lucy watched anxiously as she got the upper hand on Chat and tied him to his own staff, dangling him from the edge of the Balcony.

"Chloe stop!" She shouted gabbing her arm. Antibug took Lucy by the arm and tossed her to the side. Chat shouted her name and Antibug gave her a glare. "Stay out of it Lucy! Chat Noir isn't my target but I wont let him get in my way. If you try to, you can join him!"

"Don't try anything Lucy!" Chat shouted as he dangled. "Ladybug will be here soon! It's going to be okay!"

"Aren't you tiered of playing second fiddle to Ladybug?" Antibug asked as she stood on the other end of his staff, countering his weight.

"Aren't you tiered of copying her?" Chat mocked back. Antibug huffed and told Chat he should team up with her, but of course the feline hero refused. Antibug hopped on the staff, shaking Chat while calling out to Ladybug, telling her that if she didn't hurry up, she would drop Chat. She then started to count to five, hoping at each number, right before she could pass four, Ladybug's voice was heard from near by. Antibug smirked, but before she left to go investigate turned to Lucy who sat on the floor.

"I'll be right back. Remember what I said. For all we know, Chat Noir might have nine lives. But something tells me you don't."

With that Antibug replaced her weight with that of a near by sofa chair and ran off to find Ladybug. Lucy looked between Chat and the doorway before cursing under her breath and quickly going to grab his staff and pull him closer. He said her name only to be hushed as she reached to untie him. When safely back on the balcony Chat gave Lucy a quick hug.

"Thanks for saving me." He said with a wink. Lucy smiled a little but it quickly vanished as Antibug returned. Chat turned around and stood protectively in front of Lucy. She jumped down and glared at Lucy from behind Chat.

"Ready for round two?" He ask charging at Antibug. The two fought once more, Chat taking the action to the roof to get Antibug away from Lucy.

OoOoOoOoOoOOOoOoOoOoOoO

"Miraculous Ladybug!" Ladybug shouted after capturing the akuma from Antibug. In a matter of seconds, everything was back to normal and Chloe looked at the hero with a confused expression.

"Chloe, I… I'm really sorry about earlier. I would've defeated Vanisher sooner if I'd taken your advice." Ladybug apologized sincerely. Knowing that although Chloe is a pain, today she had good intentions, and Ladybug let her own personal feelings get in the way of seeing that. Chloe instantly forgave Ladybug, telling her she would have to reconsider being her most devoted fan. Ladybug told Chloe something else she should consider would be to make things right with Sabrina, and of course, since it came from Ladybug, Chloe had to listen.

"Oh! Wait! Where is Lucy?" Chloe asked, surprising Ladybug a little.

"She's okay, probably waiting for you in your room." Chat explained with a smile. Chloe nodded and headed for the door. The two heroes bolted off as their miraculous beeped.

In her suite, Chloe found Lucy patiently sitting in one of her chairs staring into space. Chloe stepped in front of her and Lucy looked up to make eye contact, a small smile on her lips. Chloe took a deep breath before bringing her eyes to the floor, fidgeting with her fingers.

"Listen, I-" Chloe didn't get to finish as she felt Lucy wrap her arms around her, giving her a warm hug.

"I'm glad you're okay." Lucy said and Chloe couldn't help but melt into the hug a little, resting her head on Lucy's shoulder and bringing her hands up her back to return the hug.

"You did good today kid." Lucy complimented when she pulled away. Chloe raised an eyebrow at her.

"Did good? I was akumatized. I don't remember anything but I doubt it was anything 'good'." She said with air quotes.

"Before that." Lucy explained. "Although you did it in a way that was...less tactful...you tried to help Ladybug and Chat Noir to the best of your ability. You gave them vital information, that had you not gone down there, may have led that fight to go a lot differently. I don't know if Ladybug got around to recognizing you for that, but I will. You did good."

Chloe gave her a confident smile and lifted her chin pridefully while crossing her arms. Basking in the glory of being recognized for her good intentions.

"Yes, well thank you! And she did on the roof top. She apologized for being ignorant and told me how vital I was to the defeat of Vanisher." Although she was almost certain her words held exaggeration to them, Lucy smiled happily knowing Ladybug recognized her error.

"Chloe you are...rough...around the edges." Lucy stated, making Chloe frown a little. "But I think in time," She continued. "if people push you to put your best foot forward, you will rise to the occasion. And with that, become an exceptional human being."

OoOoOoOoOOoOoOoOoOoo

At school, Lucy sat in her seat and watched as Sabrina slowly approached Chloe, who nonchalantly asked her what she was waiting for and told her to sit down. Lucy smirked as Chloe then slid her BFF pin to Sabrina who happily placed it back on her sweater. Friendship is a simple thing, and yet complicated. Friendship is on the surface, something natural, something taken for granted, and yet underneath one could find worlds. We always see our worst selves. Our most vulnerable selves. We need someone else to get close enough to tell us we're wrong. Someone we trust. Chloe was grateful to have someone who believed in her the way Sabrina did. Lucy could only hope she learned to express it better.

Alright! There! Chapter 18! I'm sorry for the weight. I hope it was worth it! I have so much free time but some how no free time lol. As always I would love to read your comments on what you think so far. Hows lock down treating you? What do you think of Chloe and her redemption arc. She was clearly given a small on in the show but if you haven't seem season 3 spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler. All her minor character builds are torn down with Miracle queen and man I both love it, because it makes sense for her character but oh boy does it also make me salty. If any of you watch Game of Thrones, I felt the same way with Jamie. They spent the whole show building him only to go fuck it and bring him right back where he started. Ugh. Anyway! I hope you are enjoying the story and I will see you in the next chapter!
