Chloe sighed to herself as she sat in the car as she got to the police station. She looked to tom and sighed as he took a hold of her hand and smiled "I don't know if I can do this" Chloe said as Tom looked to her and smiled as he placed a hand on her cheek and smiled as he kissed her "you can, I know that you can" Tom said as she looked to him and smiled. "You're not alone in this I promise" he said as she looked to him and smiled. Chloe nodded as she stood from the car. She leant against the car for a moment and sighed as she looked to Tom as he walked over so that he was standing next to her. He wrapped an arm around her and smiled "it's going to be okay, we need to get him away from you before he does something else" Tom said as Chloe nodded

Chloe walked into the police station. She sighed as she glanced around. She felt her anxiety go through the roof and she was scared as she didn't want mark to know, she knew he would once he was arrested but she still felt so scared and alone. Tom took a hold of her hand and smiled "you can do this" Tom said as Chloe looked to him and nodded. She walked over to the desk and sighed "I'd like to report a domestic violence and a rape, my rape" she said as the officer looked to let and smiled "come this way and we can take statement" he said as Chloe nodded. Chloe looked to tom and smiled as he walked over to her and took a hold of her hand and smiled "it's okay, you can do this. I know that you can" Tom said

Chloe sighed to herself as she got to work. She wanted to act as if things were normal and she didn't want to be near mark not after what he had done to her.

Chloe felt sick as she looked to them, she didn't like how grace acted around him and she was worried that there was something going on and that he could be hurt her like mark did with her and she knew that she needed to find a way to help her sister, she couldn't let grace go through what she was going through
