Love Comes With A Price

I'm right here

I do not own Life is Strange or any of it's characters, nor do I own Carmilla or any of its characters. 

      You dropped your phone onto the floor, your hands shaking as you began violently pacing around the room. "No no no no no no no...." You ran your hands through your hair, clenching your fists. 

      From the bed you heard Chloe sit up and stretch, yawning. "Good morning, N/N.." She smiled, and you turned around to look at her. Her smile faded once she saw the tears starting to brim in your eyes. 

      "Whats wrong. What happened." She hopped out of bed and rushed over to you, looking you over from head to toe. You just shook your head, holding in a sob as you hugged her and buried your face in her chest. 

      "Babe what wrong. Talk to me." She said, holding you close and stroking your hair, lifting your chin so you were looking her in the eyes. "She- she's- oh god she out.. she's out Chloe.. oh god oh god.." You sobbed, starting to hyperventilate. 

      "Y/N. Y/N. Calm down.. Calm down babe, breathe. In... Out. In... Out." You listened and tried to do as she said, taking deep breaths. Once you had stopped hyperventilating, she gently took your face in her hands, looking into your eyes worriedly. 

      "Now, tell me what's going on.. Who's out, N/N, and out of where? Why has this got you so freaked out?" You sank down to your knees and she sank down with you, holding you close. 

      "My-.. My mother... She's out of prison.. She's coming to see me, Chloe.." You sobbed and Chloe's face fell. "Oh my god.." 

      You nodded and laid your head on her shoulder as she pulled you into her, kissing the top of  your head. "I'm not letting that bitch get anywhere near you, N/N... I promise. I'm right here..." 

      After you had calmed down a bit, you looked at the clock and noticed you only had half an hour until your first class. With a sigh you sat up and ran a hand through your hair, tilting your head back. You really did not want to go to class and face everybody about the stupid video, on top of the whole 'your verbally abusive birth mother who you haven't seen in 10 years is coming to see you because she wants to bully you about your lesbianism' thing. 

      Chloe, sensing this, brushed a loose strand behind your ear. "Just don't go. Stay here. I'll run to the coffee shop and get you some hot cocoa and those macadamia nut cookies you like.." You hummed behind pursed lips at the idea. That sounded great. 

      "Then it's settled." She stood and helped you to your feet before picking you up bridal style, much to your surprise. "Chloe!" You exclaimed, at which she only grinned before setting you down on the bed. 

      "I'm gonna borrow one of your shirts, okay?" She said, and you nodded. She picked a black one with cartoon coffee mug that said 'I own you.' and her pants from yesterday. You sat up and waved to her as she left the room.

      It was an hour later, and you were starting to get really worried when the door opened and in walked Chloe. You sighed in relief, until you noticed the split lip she was sporting. 

      "Oh my god, Chloe what happened?!" You asked, jumping off the bed and rushing over to her to make sure that she wasn't hurt anywhere else. 

      She shook her head and set a large coffee cup and a bag on the side table. "In all honesty I guess I deserved it.." She chuckled. "Hurts like a bitch though.. Man, Raggedy Anne sure knows how to throw a punch.." She rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly. 

      You paused. "Wait.. Are you saying Danny punched you? But she's a sweetheart..."

      Chloe turned to look at you, shrugging. "Sure, but she went from Sweetheart to Rocky in 3.5" 

      You frowned and walked over to the mini fridge you kept in the corner, pulling out an ice pack and pressing it gently to Chloe's lip. "But why would she-... oh..." Things suddenly made sense as you remembered the video. You could only imagine how hurt Danny must've been to see it.

      "Well, anyway, here you go babe. One hot chocolate with extra chocolate and a shit ton of cookies." She said, grinning before wincing in pain. You sighed and shook your head before placing a gentle kiss on her lips. 

      "You're sweet." 

      "I know." She grinned, wincing despite herself.
