Chloe sighed as she walked into the ED. She was still pissed at everything at the fact that Connie had returned. She looked to is in who smiled to her “you okay?” He asked as Chloe smiled “I’m fine” she lied “I better get going” Chloe said as she went to walk away “Chloe” lain said as he grabbed her arm and pulled her go home. She looked up at him and tried to blink away the tests that were in her eyes “I know you Chlo’ Iain said as he pulled her into a hug. She rested Her head on his chest and smiled slightly. She was glad that she had him. Connie walked into the ED and rolled her eyes as she saw Iain and Chloe “a paramedic. Real classy choose” she said as Chloe pulled away from Iain and walked over to Connie “so what? He cares for me and he treats me right. I don’t care what job he has” Chloe said “you wouldn’t...you have your father’s taste....anyone that looks at you” Connie said as Chloe felt herself getting angry. “how dare you...my father is the only decent parents that I have had and don’t you even dare have a go at him. He’s done more for me then you ever good. Tell me what kind of woman. What kind of mother gives up on her daughter and not only that keeps the youngest two. I know I wasn’t good enough to be your daughter so don’t even try and get involved and act like the concerning mother as you are nine years too late for that” Chloe yelled. She didn’t care if the whole ED was watching a long with her father and aria. She didn’t care at all.

Chloe had had enough of Connie and had stormed off. She sent Iain a text saying that she needed to see him. She sighed and ran her hand through her hair as she sat in the staffroom.. The door opened and Sam walked in. She looked to him and smiled as he walked over to where she was sitting with a coffee. He sat next to her on the sofa and wrapped an arm around her. She rested her head on his shoulder “why aren’t I good enough? Why didn’t she want me?” Chloe asked “you are good enough Chloe....trust me” Sam said as she looked up at him with tears in her eyes. “i hate it....I have tired for so many years. I have tired to forget it but I can’t...I know I can’t but you have me up. I feel as if she replaced me with grace and it hurts. I never resent grace its not her fault. She’s meant to be my mother and I was thirteen and she abandoned me. Your not meant to do that to a child” Chloe said as Sam pulled her closer. He looked down at her and smiled “i can’t tell you why she did it for Chloe. But I can tell you that its not your fault and I’m always here and I’m never giving up on you” Sam said as Chloe looked to him and smiled “thanks dad” she smiled.

Chloe sighed as she walked into the ambulance bay. She smiled to Iain who walked over to her and smiled “you okay?” he asked as she smiled. He walked over to her and hugged her. She rested her head on his chest as he held her “it will be fine, it will get easier” he said and she sighed hoping he was right. “i have to go back to work. I’ll see you later” Chloe said as she kissed Iain. He kissed her back and she smiled to him.

Chloe walked off to the staffroom and opened the door. She frowned as she looked to Aria and Sam who lay on the couch. She looked to San who was on top of her sister. Both of them looked to Chloe both of them looking guilty “what the hell?” Chloe said speechless over what she was witnessing.
