Holding her close (Waterloo road)

Sixteen

Chloe sat in the house with Tom. He was finally out of the hospital and she was glad. All that she wanted was for things to be okay
and get back to normal and all that she wanted was rob out of her life. Chloe walked into the room where Tom was lying on bed with poppy and smiled

"what are you doing" chloe asked as poppy looked to her
M "I look after daddy" poppy said as Chloe smiled at how kind their daughter was and smiled

"well let mummy sit with him and go and play okay" Chloe said as poppy walked out of the room as Chloe sat on the bed next to him and smiled. Tom placed a hand on top of hers and smiled "I'm sorry for all of this it's my fault" Chloe said as Tom looked to her

" no it's not I'd do it all again for you as I love you and I'd do anything for you. Look I know what you have been through but I am here and I am going to look after you and poppy and it will be okay. I know you are still struggling with everything but it will be okay I promise" he said as she looked t oh I'm and smiled hoping that he was right

Chloe answered the door as she saw grace and smiled

"hey what are you doing here" Chloe asked as grace looked to her and smiled "I wanted to come and see you and there is something you need to know, it's rob" grace said as Chloe looked to her and frowned "what happened" Chloe asked feeling sick at the mention of his name

" he's been arrested. I am so sorry. I know what he's done for you and I know how scared that you have been but it will be okay. He will pay for what he did to you, to Tom and how he hurt you for so long" grace said as Chloe looked to her with tears in her eyes and smiled

  "yeah I guess so. Sorry it's just a lot to take it" Chloe said as grace looked to her and smile

d "it's okay to be upset, he put you through a lot and your emotional but it will be okay and you will get past this. I know you will, you are strong and you will be okay I know you will as I know you won't let this define you" Grace said as Chloe looked to her and smiled.

Chloe knew that grace was right but she m ew all she had been through and it wouldn't be easy to get through

Chloe sat in the bed with Tom and smiled "I know you are worried over everything but you don't need to be. Rob is gone and he can't hurt you and we will have a fresh start now and we are going to be a family" he said as she looked to him and smiled as she leant in and kissed him.

Tom kissed her back as he grabbed her waist and pulled her to him so that he was straddling him. He ran his hands across her skin as they kissed passionately as he flipped them over so that she was on her back as he looked to her

"are you sure" Tom asked

"I want you" Chloe said as he looked to her and nodded as he pulled her to him and kissed her as he pulled her close and pushed into her causing her to moan as he started to move in and out of her but after everything that had happened could they make it work?
