We were still at the hospital, it's been about a week. The doctor still hasn't gotten ahold of her parents.

"Hey Chloe do you want something from the cafeteria?" I asked and she just nodded, she hasn't really talked to me the whole time we've been here.

After I got back from the cafeteria she was standing with her crutches looking out the window. When she noticed I was standing behind her she turned around and started crying. I pulled her into a hug and she cryer on my shoulder.

When she stopped crying we walked over to her bed and she sat down. I sat down in the chair beside her. "You know you really scared me. I thought I lost you." I started tearing up thinking about it. "I'm sorry." I heard her whisper.

"Just please don't do it again. If you ever need anything I'm always here." I stood up and hugged her. She pulled away from the hug and looked up at me. "C-Can I kiss you?" She asked and I leaned down and kissed her.

I was laying in the bed with her and a doctor walked in. "Chloe, you are free to go home now. If your parents aren't there I recommend you go home with a friend."

"She's going home with me." I said before she could say anything. "Okay yall have a nice day." The doctor said as he walked out.

"What? You don't have to do that." She said. "I want to. Let's get your stuff and get out of here." I stood up and grabbed her clothes and put them in her bag.

My parents aren't the best people to be around but I can't let her be alone.
"What about your sister? She was really sad about you leaving." I told Chloe about me leaving Miele with my parents when we were at the hospital.

"She's gonna be so happy to meet you." I told her and she smiled. We pulled into the driveway and I got all of our stuff. I put our stuff in my closet and layed on my bed. "Can I talk to you?" I asked and she walked over to the bed. "Yeah sure." I sat up and she sat in front of me. "You don't have to answer if you don't want to but I just have to ask." I held her hands. "O-okay"

"Why did you do it?" She immediately looked down. "Umm, sometimes I get these thoughts that I don't fit into the world, like no one wants me. I-I used to... I used to c*t myself when things got bad but it just got worse when they told me I wouldn't be able to play soccer for a while, so when you left it was just me and my thought and the pills." I pulled her into a tight hug and she pulled me tighter if that's even possible. "You never have to feel that way. I want you and I need you in this world."

She started crying and wiped the tears off her face when Miele walked in. "Hey! You must be my sister's girlfriend." Miele said and I covered my face in embarrassment. "Miele I told you she's not my girlfriend."

"Oops, sorry." She said giggling.

"And you must be the gorgeous princess Miele I've heard so much about." Chloe said smiling at her. "Yes, I am." I stood up and walked over to Miele. I picked her up and sat on my bed with her in my lap. "You're really pretty." Cleo said to Miele.

"Thank you. You are pretty too." She replied smiling really big.

After a while we were still in my room when my mom burst through the door. "What is she doing here? I didn't tell you, you could have friends over."

"Mom, stop!" I yelled and she looked at me even madder than before. "Don't you yell at me!" She grabbed my arm in the same place as the other night. "Don't ever talk to me like that." She let go and started throwing stuff around my room.

Chloe was holding Miele, she was crying. Chloe was trying to calm her down but it didn't work. "That bitch has no right to be in my house." She said pointing at Chloe. "Don't call her that!" I yelled and my mom grabbed Miele and tried to walk off with her. "Miele!" I yelled and grabbed her.

"No she's my daughter and she's not allowed to be near her." She pointed at Chloe again. "Mom stop you're just drunk. Let her go." She didn't let go of her, instead she walked off into the living room with her. I could still hear her yelling.

"Go to your room!" She yelled at Miele and she started sobbing.

"I'm so sorry for that." I put my hands over my face and sighed. "I'm okay." She replied. I started cleaning the stuff up that she threw around the room and Chloe grabbed her crutches. "No stop. You just sit down, please." She sat down and I finished cleaning my room.

—————— ∴❀∴ ——————

"I'm gonna check on Miele. I'll be right back. Please don't leave this room." I said going to miele's room. "Hey are you okay?" I asked her. "Yeah." She sniffled and walked over to me. I pulled her into and hug and she cried. I hate seeing her cry.

"You wanna go to Chloe's house with me?" I asked and she smiled. "Yes!"

"Okay be quiet. Pack you a few things to wear and your toothbrush." I hugged her again and went back to my room.

"Hey um can't we go to your house? I told Miele that we were going." I asked nervously. "Yeah, sure." I got more clothes for me and I took Chloe and I's stuff to the car. I left Chloe in the car and went back inside to get Miele.

—————— ∴❀∴ ——————

The car ride was pretty silent. Miele took a quick nap so I carried her inside.

"I'm gonna take her to your room and I'll be back to get the clothes."

"Okay. I'm gonna make something for dinner." I went upstairs and layed Miele on Chloe's couch. I didn't wanna lay her in the bed because of what happened. The sheets haven't been washed so it felt kinda weird since that was the last time either of us had been in that room, it kinda made me sad.

Chloe's POV

After a while dinner was done and me and Kiara were in the living room eating.  "I saved Miele some. It's in the fridge." I said and Kiara nodded.

"Is she always like that? Your mom." I asked out of no where. "Umm mostly, yeah." She seemed okay, too okay.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" I asked grabbing her hand. "No not really." She said in an annoyed tone. "Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to-"

"It's okay. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude, I just can't talk about it." She pulled me into a side hug and kissed the top of my head. Which kinda took me by surprise, I know we kissed but I don't know what that means. Did she even like the kiss? Did I like the kiss? Will we do it again?
