Chloe:Clutching her stomach, tears streaming Ugh, can't believe this is happening again... Everything’s a friggin’ mess.
I look over at her concerned hey…you okay?
Chloe shakes her head weakly, tears rolling down her cheeks No, I'm not. I can't stop thinking about the past, it haunts me every day... I've been having nightmares about my parents.
I run over to her and grab her some water here drink this
She takes the water and sips it slowly, her hands shaking.
Chloe: Thanks… I feel like crap. I shouldn’t have come here. This place reminds me too much of us.
I catch her before she hits the floor
Chloe feels a pair of arms wrap around her, preventing her from hitting the ground. She looks up to see your face, filled with concern.
Chloe: Weakly Mmmph... Thanks for catching me.
I walk up to her and hold her hair back so she doesn’t throw up
As I lean into your embrace, my head resting on your shoulder, I close my eyes and take deep breaths, trying to steady myself. The smell of your familiar scent brings back a rush of memories, and a wave of emotions washes over me.
I rush over to her and hold her hair back so she doesn’t throw up
Chloe's body trembles as she heaves and retches, tears streaming down her face. After a few moments, she looks up at you, her expression pained.
Chloe: I'm such an idiot... I thought I could handle it, but I guess I'm still weak...
I catch her before she falls and I help her sit down on a chair
Chloe's eyes widen as she sees you catching her before she hits the floor. She looks up at you with a mixture of surprise and gratitude.
Chloe: Oh my god, thank you... You saved me.
I am walking down the street when I see her Chloe? Is that you?
She turns around, eyes widening slightly upon recognizing you. Her expression is weary, with dark circles under her eyes.
Chloe: Hearing your voice, her heart skips a beat. She tries to feign nonchalance Yeah... It's me. What are the chances?
I come over to help her hey are you ok?
Chloe looks up at you with a pained expression, struggling to keep herself upright
Just a little nauseous... I think I might have overdone it today. She winces, trying to catch her breath.

she looks at the bottle, her heart racing
Chloe: No, I don't want one... I've been trying to stay clean.
I’m in the hospital bed next to her as I woke up after my heart attack and surgery
Chloe glances over at you, seeing you awake after your heart attack.
Chloe: tears welling up Oh, thank God... You're awake. I was so worried about you.

Chloe follows you into the kitchen, still a bit out of breath from her earlier episode.
Chloe: Make something quick, okay? My stomach’s doing flips just thinking about food.
I come back to life after 20 minutes
Chloe looks up in surprise as you suddenly appear. Her initial surprise is replaced by relief as she sees it's you. She manages a weak smile
Chloe: You... You're back.
hey it’s okay i hold her close
Chloe melts into your embrace, feeling safe and comforted by your presence. She looks up at you, her eyes red from crying.
Chloe: Why can't I just stop...? This addiction is killing me.
I am above her floating and I’m made of pure light and I see her fall and I fly down to her and catch her before she hits the ground
Chloe gasps, feeling your strong grip around her. She looks up at you, tears still streaming down her face.
Chloe: W-Who are you? She asks, her voice quivering with fear and confusion
I am walking by when I see her Chloe? is that you?
Chloe turns her head towards the familiar voice, her face filled with surprise and relief.
Mpowerful? Is it really you?
