Resenting mum (Casualty)

26

Chloe sighed as she laid in bed next to Iain. Things were tense between them and Chloe had no idea why. But she was worried. She knew that it was sown to her father. And how he had gotten involved in their relationship.

Chloe smiled as Iain opened his eyes. He kissed her and smiled. "You okay?" He asked as he looked to her.

Chloe nodded. "Yeah. Has my dad said anything to you? I mean it's been tense with us lately. And I feel like my dad has done something," Chloe said.

Iain shook his head. "No babe. I'm just tired from work. It's nothing at all," he told her as he kissed her.

"Okay. I'll go make us some breakfast. You have a lie in."

"Okay."

Chloe got out of bed. She sighed as she walked into the kitchen. She quickly made Iain and herself something to eat.

Iain wrapped his arms around her and smiled. "You know you're amazing."

Chloe turned to him and kissed him. "I love you."

"Love you too. Everything is going to be okay. I promise," Iain said as he kissed her lips gently.

Chloe watched as he walked into the bathroom. She stood there and sighed. Not realising how tense their relationship was.

Chloe went into work. She saw Aria and smiled. "How's it going with president jackass?" She asked.

"Don't even. We broke up. He cheated on me," Aria said as she smiled.

Chloe's eyes widened. She was in shock. "Who with?" She asked.

"Mum. I walked in on them. He had a smirk on his face. Mum had the decency to look ashamed. I just... I don't know. I hate this," Aria told him.

Chloe pulled her into to an hug. She smiled. "You're better off without him Aria. Trust me. I know he's my dad. But he's an actual wanker. You're 100 times better off without him," she said.

Aria nodded and sighed. She looked to her sister. "How's it going with Iain? You mentioned it was tense. Is it still the same?"

Chloe shrugged and sighed. She didn't know what was going on. "It's okay for the moment. But I don't know. It does feel tense. But we love each other. And that's all that matters."

"You've got this. You and Iain have overcome the odds. You've both been through so much. And I know it doesn't seem it, but it will be okay," she told her.

"I hope so."

Chloe walked into the staffroom. Her dad was there. She glad. "You can't keep it in your pants can you? You slept with mum?" She asked.

Sam sighed. "It's complicated. Okay? I love Aria. I do. But Connie and I... there's passion there," he said.

Chloe rolled her eyes. She looked to him. "If you love Aria, you'd not be a dick. she's broken. So just be with her properly. Or don't."

"Wait. I know I've done wrong in the past. Trying to come between you and Iain. But I'm sorry. I want to do better. For you," Sam said.

Chloe looked to him. She sighed. "Thats just it. I don't know if I can even forgive you. You're my dad. And I love you. But you've hurt me too much," she said as she turned and walked off.

Chloe walked into the flat after her shift and sighed. She saw Iain sitting on the sofa and kissed him. Iain looked to her. "How was work?" He asked.

"Dull."

Iain held her close and kissed her. Neither aware of how their lives were about to come crashing down around them.
