Being Yours {Hollyoaks}

Thirteen

Chloe woke up in bed next to Patrick and sighed. She didn't know what to think.

She knew how they had ended up having sex. But she didn't know what it meant for them. Or if they had a future still. She knew that she felt more confused then ever.

Chloe stood from the bed and walked to the bathroom as she washed her face and sighed.

She knew all that had happened with her and Patrick. She knew how he had left bruises on her. She knew that she was worried.

She was worried that he'd end up hurting her or Evie. And she didn't know where her head was at or what to do. All that she knew that things were a mess.

Chloe walked back into the bedroom. Patrick laid in bed. He looked to her and smiled. "Hey," he said.

Chloe looked to him and smiled. "Hi. Look we need to talk about this. Last night was great and that. But it doesn't change things. It doesn't mean we're back together. You hurt me Patrick. And it's something I can't forget. And with all that happened with Josie too. It's hard. And I need to think about Evie first," she told him.

He looked to her and nodded. "I get it. I just want to be a father to Evie. I know that things are tense with us. And I know I hurt you. But I really am sorry," he said as she looked to him and smiled.

Chloe walked through the village. She saw Josie who smiled. "Hey. I have been texting you. Are you okay?" Josie asked.

Chloe smiled. "Yeah sorry. It's just been a busy morning. That's all," she told her.

Josie looked to her and nodded. "And this has nothing to do about how Freddie saw you sneaking out of my fathers flat this morning? Is that back on? I thought that you didn't trust him," she asked.

Chloe looked to her and sighed. "It's complicated. It just happened. But it doesn't mean that we are getting back together. I don't trust him not to hurt me. And I need to do what is best for Evie before any of that."

Josie looked to her and smiled. "I know it's hard. I know what my father is like. Just promise me that you will be careful," she told her.

Chloe looked to her and smiled. "Don't worry. I will."

Chloe sat with Evie. She looked to her as she played with her dolls and smiled. She knew just how young and innocent Evie was. She knew how she'd do all that she could to protect her. She knew that it wasn't easy when it came to her and Patrick.

Chloe looked to a text off Patrick and sighed. She knew how her head was a mess.

She knew how there was something still there with her and Patrick. She knew how complicated it was.

But what Chloe didn't know was just how everything was about to change between her and Patrick once again.
