Being Yours {Hollyoaks}

Eight

Chloe got to the hospital. She needed to find Josie. Her heart was breaking for her best friend knowing that there was nothing that she could do and that Ariel was dead.

Chloe saw Freddie and walked over to him and frowned. "Where's she?" Chloe asked.

"They have her in a room. She's resting. She's distraught and so am I. Josie knew it. She was ill and Josie knew it. But no one believed her," Freddie said.

Chloe nodded. "There's something you need to know. It's Patrick. He thinks Josie killed her. He wants to prove it. She doesn't deserve this. She doesn't need this," Chloe said.

Freddie sighed and nodded. "This is all I need. It wasn't her. She wasn't there when Ariel died. She was in a crash. But she's okay. I know Josie. And she would never hurt her baby," Freddie said.

Chloe smiled slightly. "Can I see her?" She asked.

Freddie lead her into the room. He smiled as she sat on the bed next to Josie and pulled her into a hug and grinned. "It's going to be okay. I promise," Chloe said as Josie sobbed.

Chloe got back to the flat. She saw Patrick. "We need to talk. Look Josie needs to pay," Patrick said.

Chloe glared at him. "Don't. Don't even go there," she said as she walked into the bedroom.

Chloe started to pack her stuff. Patrick stood behind her. "She has to pay."

"No. She doesn't. She did not do this. She is heartbroken. She's going through hell. Her baby is dead. She knew she was ill. And you did this. You cause all of this stress. I'm not staying here with you when you did this. Josie's daughter died. No matter what you think or say," Chloe said as she went to walk off.

Patrick grabbed her arm as she pushed him away. "Don't," he said.

Chloe looked to him. He grabbed her arm harshly. As she pulled away, he hit her. Chloe stumbled back and wiped her lip to see that she was bleeding. "Chloe. I'm sorry," he said as she moved away from him.

Chloe glared. "Don't. Don't you dare touch me! Stay the hell away from me," Chloe spat as she walked off. Unable to believe he had actually hit her.

Chloe sighed to herself as she got back to the Lomax house. Sam looked to her and frowned. "What happened?" She asked.

"Ariel died. Patrick and I had a fight," Chloe told her.

"I'm sorry," Sam said as she walked over to her daughter and hugged her. 

Sam could see the cut lip. She wasn't stupid. She knew Patrick had done it. Sam knew she would do anything for her daughter. Even if it meant keeping her away from Patrick Blake in order to stop him hurting Chloe anymore than he already had. She knew she wasn't going to let him near Evie.

Sam knew she was going to make sure Patrick paid for everything that he had done. But little did Chloe know that he was far from the good and nice guy everyone thought he was.

And how his bad side would soon come out.
