I can't believe we had actually done it. Me and Chloe had just travelled back in time, saved her mother, and stopped mine from becoming a completely controlling, unstoppable force of evil. That was enough work for one month, let alone one week. After all we had been through, it felt weird to be apart from each other, so after we were seen to our rooms I tiptoed into Chloe's. I didn't think to knock, so I opened the door to her wearing nothing but her underwear and bra. Before she could see me, I shut the door gently and knocked, so that she never even knew I had come in in the first place.
"One second!" she whisper-yelled. I tried to slow my breathing-that was a weird experience. I waited for her to call me back in, and I came in slowly this time, to make sure she was fully dressed. She was wearing a silk Peter Alexander pajama set, with a low neckline and shorts that went very high up on her thighs. I suddenly felt self conscious of my baggy T-shirt and boxers, and I thought maybe I should leave.
"I was going to come to you first, but I needed to change. It felt so wrong being alone," Chloe explained. At least I wasn't the only one who felt that way. I walked over to sit on her bed.
"Yeah, it just felt off." I agreed. "I talked to Uma about it, and she already said we can be roommates for the rest of the year here at Auradon Prep." I paused, realizing what I had said. "That is, if you want to be my roommate."
"Of course I do Red!" Chloe smiled, the kind where you could see all her perfect white teeth flash for a few seconds. I covered mirroring her grin - I wasn't going to let her catch me cheesing over her like that. It was only okay when she did it.
"Well anyways, I'm glad we can agree on one thing," I joked, and she smiled.
"Wanna watch a movie?" I suggested. It had been a long day, but it was still only 9:00PM, and we had some time to kill.
"Yeah, sure!" Chloe seemed happy enough to oblige, so we got in the bed and I grabbed the remote.
"Lets watch a horror!" I said excitedly. In truth, I didn't really like horror movies, I'm not sure how people enjoyed the feeling of being scared and found it fun. But I thought I knew for certain Chloe would say no, until I looked over and she was nodding.
"Yeah sure, you're on. Just let me get my makeup off first." Chloe said. I moaned softly in complaint as she got up and walked to the bathroom. I followed her, as I had nothing better to do. I had also forgotten to brush my teeth, but I couldn't be bothered to go all the way back to my dorm.
"You can use my toothbrush by the way." Chloe read my mind.
"How'd you know I hadn't brushed my teeth yet?" I was a bit shocked.
"I can smell your breath, Red," she said in a joking manner. I couldn't believe her. I gave her a playful shove before obediently brushing my teeth. I hope she was just joking, I didn't want her to think I was gross. We finished up in the bathroom, settled into bed, and settled on the so called 'scariest movie of the year,' Longlegs. I wasn't sure how Chloe would hold up with this movie, bit to be honest I was more worried about myself. We were doing really well until the ending, where the creepy old man was locked in the cell. I noticed Chloe clutching her arm very tightly, her fingernails digging into her skin.
"Hey, why are you doing that?" I asked her. "Do you want me to turn this off?" I didn't want to make her scared.
"No its okay," her voice was so small I was sure it would break and she would burst into tears. I paused the TV, and she moved from gripping her own arm to mine.
"Okay, fine. I got a bit scared. But we're almost finished. I need to reach the end, otherwise it'll all be for nothing."
"Hey, it's okay. I'm going to play it now, but you better not get nightmares. If you need, please grip my arm not yours. You're hurting yourself."
"Oh. Sorry," Chloe murmured, less than half-aloud.
"Hey, don't be. Just relax." I assured her, and pressed play. For the last twenty minutes of the movie, her arms were wrapped around my right arm tightly, but I didn't mind. I actually thought it was kind of cute. By the ending, Chloe was shaking a little bit on my arm. I was too focused on the movie at the time, but I would've said something earlier if I noticed.
"Aw Chloe, I don't think watching this movie was a good idea. Let's watch some Baby Sitter's Club to get to sleep first." Chloe just nodded in response. BSC was the best solution I could think of to this problem, as I knew she liked the show. After one episode, she seemed to be doing okay. I switched the TV off and held her closer.
"Chloe, it's past midnight. We've got to get some rest, tomorrow they're having a celebratory ceremony for us." She nodded against me, and I switched the light off. I found myself worried for her, so as we lay in the dark I wrapped my arms around her and stroked her curls. I loved Chloes hair. It was so soft, so healthy, bouncy and, of course, very blue. She smelt like cupcakes, but not in a dizzying kind of way. In a soft, subtle, sweet way.
"Goodnight Red," she mumbled, and I could feel her mouth moving through the fabric of my T-shirt.
"Goodnight Chloe," I whispered back. She couldn't tell, but I was smiling.
***More coming soon!! Bit of a slow start, but I will be doing more and different scenarios, I am taking suggestions. Feedback is welcome. :)
