Just another day in the life of Chloe Price, Arcadia Bay’s well known dropout, loser, and known by many, many other insults.
But here, with Rachel, it seemed like everything was, well, great.
Blazing in her room with Rachel Dawn Amber was the highlight of Chloe’s hour, day, week, month, all in one.
As the haze began to overtake her mind, an oldie, from a CD she had forgotten she’d burned, came on.
Brainstorm, take me away from the norm
I’ve got to tell you something
This phenomenon, I had to put it in a song
And it goes like
Chloe looked over to Rachel. She sat there, with a serene smile on her face, almost kind of goddess-like.
Whoa, Amber is the color of your energy
Whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally
Chloe wasn’t sure if it was the drugs, but, Rachel had a perfect golden glow, surrounding around her. Well, it almost definitely was the drugs, but, still…
You ought to know what brings me here
You glide through my head, blind to fear
And I know why
She thought about what they had went through, together. The lies from Rachel’s dad, finding Rachel’s birth mom. Chloe almost losing her to that fucking stab wound. It almost did seem like Rachel was blind to fear, sometimes. She was so damned brave…
Don’t give up your independence
Unless it feels right
Nothing good comes easily
sometimes you’ve got to fight
“Chloe? I know we’ve gone through a lot of shit. We’ve fought like hell for each other, and there’s no fucking way I am ever giving you up”, Rachel said, in a soft serene voice, like it was a complete certainty. Like they would be together, and watch the stars burn for thousands of years. OK, so Chloe was officially high as fuck, but, damn that was a beautiful thought.
Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
whoa, shades of gold displayed naturally
Chloe stared at her divine seeming lover. She drew close, eyes wide, like she was about to partake in a blessed sacrament. Their lips connected, and Chloe felt energy flow between them. It felt like the golden glow that had been around Rachel, was passing into her. It felt amazing, like they were both gods.
“I love you so much, Rachel Amber. You’re my everything.”
“And you’re my everything, my heart”
Whoa
Brainstorm
Take me away from the norm
Whoa
I’ve got to tell you something
They relaxed back on Chloe’s bed. As the golden sun shined through the window, Chloe knew things weren’t perfect. She had David "Major Anger Issues" Madsen to deal with, and a life that was seemingly going nowhere.
But, here, with Rachel, everything seemed almost perfect.
