Resenting mum (Casualty)

Chloe sat in her flat and looked to Connie. She didn't know what to say. She looked to her and sighed as she ran her hands through her hair and smiled "so, you sent me away, as if I wasn't nothing. Why wasn't I good enough" Chloe asked as Connie looked to her and smiled "you were, it's just. It was me, I wasn't good enough for you to be your mum. You were so smart and I had aria and I had grace and I worked so much and your father suggested that you go to America with him. I said no at first but then I realised you would be better off with your father, I know that it sounds lame and excused but I wasn't good enough for you, I wasn't a good enough mum and I failed you and no matter what I did I couldn't be there for you. Ask aria and grace, I also failed them too. It wasn't about you" Connie said as Chloe looked to her and sighed.

Chloe knew that she wanted to believe Connie would she felt hurt "I hate you for what you did, you don't know what it's like. To be there one minute and then sent off to a different country with your father and miss out on your childhood with your sisters, it's sucked. It sucked so much and I hate it" Chloe said as Connie looked to her and smiled "I thought I was doing what was best for you and obviously I was wrong and if I could change it, I would but I can't" Connie said as Chloe stood up and sighed as she ran her hands through her hair. She didn't know what to think "you can't change it, I guess we just have to move past it" Chloe said as Connie nodded "I am sorry, I really am" Connie said as Chloe looked to her and smiled.

The next day, Chloe walked into to work and drained to herself as she tried to call Iain. "It's me, your girlfriend where the hell are you. I left you about a billion messages" Chloe said as she hung up. She ran her hands through her hair and sighed. Aria walked into the staffroom and smiled as she saw Chloe as she stood leaning against the locker "are you okay?" Aria asked as Chloe frowned "are you talking about mum? I'm fine, I just need some time to sort it out" Chloe said as aria frowned "no, because of Iain" aria said as Chloe looked to her and frowned "what do you mean because of Iain?" Chloe asked as aria looked to her and paled.

"I thought that you knew, he left. He said he needed some time away, your dads leaving too" aria said as Chloe nodded "I know, Iain didn't even say anything how could he do This to me" Chloe said as aria walked over to her and hugged her "I'm so sorry, but he will come back. He loves you and he wouldn't of left you if he wasn't desperate" aria said as Chloe looked to her and smiled as she wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled.

Later that night, Chloe stood from the cab as she got to the airport and saw Sam. Sam looked to her and frowned "Chloe what are you doing here?" He asked as she looked to him and sighed "I'm coming home with you. Iain left and I have nothing.  Please dad. I can't stay here" Chloe said as Sam wrapped an arm around her shoulder and smiled as he lead her onto the private jet but was Chloe making the right choose?
