Friendship to Love (Life is strange fanfiction)

The Lie

 Rachel had this wheelchair to get around in since the hospital didn't want her to walk. "How long until you are allowed to walk again?" Chloe asked, pushing Rachel and her wheelchair down the hall to dinner. "A couple more days," Rachel said. When they got to the stairs Chloe was unsure of how to get Rachel to the bottom of the stairs. "I got this" Chloe said. Chloe picked up Rachel out of the wheelchair and kicked the wheelchair down the stairs. Rachel laughed "That was your master plan?" Chloe just looked at Rachel who was smiling. "I guess you can't put me down now"

"I guess I can't," Chloe said. They looked into each other's eyes, the softness in both of their faces. Chloe kissed Rachel, Rachel's lips were warm and soft. When it ended both girls felt that it was too short. They wanted to do it again but Rachel's dad was calling them. Chloe walked down the stairs while Rachel twisted the blue streak of Chloe's hair around her finger. When they got to the bottom of the stairs Chloe and Rachel both saw that a wheel had fallen off the wheelchair. "Um I think I broke your wheelchair," Chloe said her cheeks a little pink but Chloe was trying to play it cool, attempting to make it look like she was flirting with Rachel. Rachel just laughed saying "I think you did too." Chloe walked Rachel over to a chair at the table and placed her there.

Dinner was not their most eventful dinner and no tables were broken, and no big secrets were revealed. Though there was a conversation about the wheelchair, Chloe said she could tape it back together and it would all be fine. Mr.Amber was not impressed by that. There was also a conversation about what is better baths or showers. Chloe and Rachel agreed on showers, Rachel's asshole of a father thought baths were better and Rachel's stepmom was undecided. Chloe and the asshole made eye contact a few times throughout dinner, every time it happened Chloe would glare at the asshole.

After Chloe left Rachel was determined to find out what happened between Chloe and her father. She was unsure if they had come up with the same story if she got a different story from her father she would know they were lying to her. "So dad what were you and Chloe talking about today?" Rachel asked doing a great job of sounding casual. "Didn't Chloe tell you?" Rachel's dad said doing a terrible job of sounding casual. "No, she said you would tell me," Rachel said playing with her blue feather earring. "Well, it's not anything big, I just thanked her once again for saving you" that was definitely not what Chloe had said. "And you couldn't do that in front of me because..."

"Because I wanted her to know how thankful I was, and I felt like if I could connect with her I could really get the message across." Rachel's dad said with a hint of pride in his voice. Rachel knew something was up but what hurt her most was Chloe had lied to her.

Meanwhile, at Chloe's house, Chloe was laying on her bed thinking about Rachel. She was thinking about how guilty she felt for lying to her, her asshole father, but the thing she was thinking most about was her beauty. Chloe loved Rachel Amber, Chloe had the biggest crush on Rachel Amber. Her gorgeous blond hair, those hazel eyes, her beautiful soft skin, their amazing kiss and Chloe might have ruined it by lying to her. Then Joyce walked into Chloe's room, at first Chloe thought it was David coming to look for drugs or something so Chloe said "Geeze don't you knock?" but when she realized it was just her mother, she said, "Oh sorry I thought you were the stepfuck.". Joyce just rolled her eyes and said: "I wish you would stop calling him that, and I brought you an apple.".

"Thanks, mom," Chloe said pretending not to care but deep down she was happy her mom still thought of her and not just the stepfuck.

At the Amber house, Rachel was lying in her bed as well, she was feeling worried about Chloe. What was going on between her and her father that Chloe had to lie to her about? Was her father doing something to her, something bad? No Rachel thought to herself that would never happen, though Rachel thought she knew a lot about her dad before she found out about her birth mother so who knows. Rachel picked up her phone to call Chloe, she picked up on the second ring. "Chloe, I have a question for you and I need you to answer honestly."

"Rachel if this is about me and your dad I told you we were talking about me bre-"

"No, well yes it is about that, it is also about how I know you're lying to me and I want to ask you is my father doing something bad to you? Is he forcing you to do things you don't want to do" Rachel paused "with him?"

"Oh no Rachel he isn't, your dad isn't forcing me into anything."

"Ok, bye"

"Bye"

Rachel could tell Chloe was telling her the truth that her father isn't forcing her into that kinda stuff but she also knew Chloe was lying about the office break-in. How could Rachel get Chloe to open up and tell her? She needed Chloe, to be honest with her. Rachel's stepmom came into her room and told her it was time for her to go to bed. Rachel changed into her pyjamas, brushed her teeth, took her earring out and parked her wheelchair next to her bed. Rachel crawled into bed and she felt herself holding back tears. Why was she feeling like this, was it because Chloe was lying to her? Chloe was her best friend after all, and she was hoping they could be more then friends, but Rachel wasn't sure if Chloe felt the same because she was lying to her.
