"Oh shut up." You say and grin again.

"What was that about?" Steph smirks trying to tease. "Nothing. Just banter. How can someone hate emojis?" You question yourself. "I can't live without emojis." Steph says and fiddles with her pencil. "Can you not fidget right now? I'm taking notes." You say hearing the pencil being twirled by Steph's hands and the pencil dropping down on the desk. "This is boring though." Steph complains. "Go to the bathroom and don't come back out then we've got ten minutes." You say being a smart ass. "Okay bye." Steph waves and just walks past the teacher. You finish your notes and just pack up knowing nothing else will need to happen. The bell rings so you just leave the class and go wait for the bus, when your phone buzzes out of your bag. You open your phone and see a message from Chloe.

(You start texting Chloe)

Chloe Price

Chloe:"hey are you busy?"

"depends. What do you need?":You

Chloe:"can you come to this junkyard?"

(Chloe sends you the location)

"fine. I'll be there in fifteen minutes.":You

(You put your phone back)

You hop onto the bus and get off at the closest stop. You have to walk along these dangerous train tracks just to get to someone who you've basically talked to today. "The shit I do for people.." you whisper to yourself under your breath.

You find Chloe by a smashed up car with her head in her knees. "Chloe..? Are you okay?" You crouch down next to her and put an arm around her. "I'm fine... move your arm." Chloe mutters and shrugs you off. You let go of her and just sit down beside her. "I shouldn't have called you here.." Chloe mumbles into her knees. "Don't worry.. I'm here. I don't care if your gonna push me away." You say and look at chloe. "Why? You don't know me." Chloe lifts up her head and you could see the marks from where the tears ran down her face.

"I know better than to leave when someone needs help. Even if I barely know them." You go to hold her shoulder but stop. "Whatever.." Chloe shrugs of and moves her head back to her knees. "Can you tell me why we're in a junkyard..?" You look at Chloe trying to get her to talk. Chloe lifts her head and you look straight into her beautiful blue eyes. "Me and Rachel skipped.. went to a viewfinder and after that she was acting all.. closed off? We came here with some wine we stole and I tried to cheer her up but she just.." Chloe speaks and you can hear the pain in her voice. "Hey, it's okay.. can I comfort you or would you rather me not.." you ask and keep eye contact. Chloe nods and you wrap your arms around her and just hold her tightly. "Thank you.." Chloe whispers. You both just sit and hold each other in a warm silence, you both feel safe and calm.

Once Chloe was more at peace and could breathe normally you helped her up. "Better?" You rub Chloe's back carefully. "Mhm.. thank you." Chloe says and sniffles."cool art." You giggle and point at the paint on the clown sign. "Yeah. I have no idea where that came from." Chloe says and puts her hands in her pockets. "That's funny. Oh! I met you mom earlier!" You laugh. "Really? Where?" Chloe asks and looks at you. "The two whales dinner." You smirk responding to her. "Damn. That's weird." Chloe chuckles.

"She called me polite." You say smug and laugh a bit. "Oh really? I can see you being one of those girls that says please and thank you to anything." Chloe says and rolls her eyes while smirking. "Thank- HEY!" You realise what she was saying. "You're too nice." Chloe pushes you playfully. "You're a punk ass bitch." You say and cross your arms. "Thank you." Chloe says smirking "your welcome." You say but pause "WAIT!" You realise and punch Chloe. "hey! You really got a mean swing." Chloe yells and holds her arm. "Don't test me." You giggle.

"Fine softy look umm I'm gonna go find Rachel and see if she's okay." Chloe says and looks at you. "Um.. want me to come too or want me to leave you?" You ask. "Maybe come along but don't say anything. And text your mom I'm sure she's worried sick. A good girl like you ain't normally out this late." Chloe teases and starts to head back to the train tracks. "I.. have no come back I am normally back by now. But just because your right doesn't mean anything!" You say pissed that you didn't have a response. "I'm right am I?" Chloe asks and raises an eyebrow. "No you don't deserve that satisfaction." You grin and catch up to her. "Come on shorty we need to get there for you bedtime." Chloe says and pushes you playfully. "Oh fuck yourself." You laugh at her.

~on the train tracks~

You both walk side to side across the rusted train tracks. You follow Chloe across this dirt train to the parks parking lot. "How did you guys even get here?" You ask so confused. "Jumped on a train with an open gap. Lead us to here." Chloe says and goes past the park sign into the park. You silently follow her there. Chloe walks up to a path that leads to Rachel and the tree the couple was making out under.

"You came.." Rachel says hearing Chloe's footsteps behind her. "I'm glad." She adds still facing the twisted tree. "Are you sure about that? I got kinda a different message this afternoon." Chloe asks taking closer steps. You stay silent and try not to intrude. "Yeah. Chloe I want to talk to you about something but I don't know how to talk about this." Rachel say's quietly with a tone of sadness in her voice. Chloe doesn't speak and waits for Rachel to speak about it.

"Do you remember that couple..?" Rachel ask's finally turning to face Chloe, you could see the tears running down her face. "The ones who were making out?" Chloe ask's confirming. "That was my dad.. and that woman.. Was definitely, not my mom." Rachel says and her tone goes from sad to anger in an instant. You understand dads can be a touchy subject so you slowly start to head back feeling uncomfortable that your over hearing this private conversation.

As you keep walking of on the dirt trail you hear a thud and a scream that echos through the park. You run right back and see the twisted tree up in flames and rachel with streams of tears running down her face with Chloe looking terrified of the fire and not knowing what to do to help rachel. "What the fuck happened?!" You scream making Chloe and rachel turn to face you.
