Quarantine Changed Us

Chapter 7

The next morning, Chloe woke up in her own bed. She sat up and looked around the room.

"I could've sworn I was in Alix's room". She spotted the pink haired girl sitting on the couch across the room.

"Good morning" Alix said, not looking up from her phone.

"Morning..." Chloe said back. "I thought I was in your room".

Alix looked up at her and ran a hand through her pink hair. "You were, I brought you back in here when I woke up" She said.

"How"?

Alix raised an eyebrow. "I carried you"?

Chloe was surprised but then again she knew Alix wasn't weak. She laid back down and sighed.

"Who were you texting"? She asked. "Marinette" Alix answered flatly.

"Telling her about last night for her to use against me"? Chloe growled.

Alix stood and walked over. "I wouldn't do that". She sat on the end of the bed and faced the blonde.

"You can tell me anything, if you need me, I know how to keep a secret" She assured her. "I'm a good listener".

Chloe sat up and pulled her knees into her chest. Alix touched her shoulder. "What happened"?

"I got into a fight with Sabrina" she said.

"She told me she was bisexual and didn't want to be friends because my mother is homophobic".

Alix was surprised at how fast she submitted. "I told her it didn't matter but she left me anyways and now I have no one" Chloe hid her face as her tears fell.

"There's still a chance for you two to be friends, after all this, you can work it out" Alix said.

"But.." Chloe started. "No buts, it'll be ok, I promise".

Chloe looked up and wiped her tears. "Are you my friend"?

"I've always been your friend, Chloe" Alix smiled softly.

Chloe nodded and hugged her. Alix returned the hug, burying her face in her blonde hair.

There was a knock at the door and the two girls pulled away.

"Can you get that, I'm not exactly presentable" Chloe laughed and looked down at her outfit.

"You go get dressed, I'll handle it" Alix chuckled as she rushed into her bathroom. Alix went to the door and opened it to Jean-Marie. "Is Miss Bourgeois awake"?

"Yes she is" Alix said. "I'll have her breakfast brought up right away and lunch for you, Miss Kubdel".

"It's Alix and thank you".

"Of course, sorry Miss Alix" he closed the door and Alix wanted to hit her head off of it.

"Why does everyone have to call me Miss"?! She ranted. She heard Chloe laughing from the bathroom. Alix grinned.

"I mean come on, what if I went around calling him, butler Jean or whatever".

"Oh god" Chloe snickered walking out from the other room.

"You have no right to laugh Miss Bourgeois"! Alix laughed. "Oh whatever, Miss Kubdel" she smiled.

Jean- we don't know his name came in and served their food before leaving again.

"Wait, what time is it"? Chloe checked her phone and it was afternoon. "You said it was morning"! She glared at Alix.

"It was morning when you woke up" she said. "And when did you get up"? Chloe asked.
