What if?
Does your brain ever just decide to feel super intensely about someone? So intensely that you can never escape that person and your feelings for them? Not even in your dreams? Well then you’re not alone because Chloe Bourgeois is right there with you.
When Sabrina dropped her off at home Chloe promptly passed out on her bed not even taking off her shoes, full face of makeup still on. Her skin is probably gonna resent her tomorrow morning but that’s for tomorrow's Chloe to worry about, tonight’s Chloe already has enough to worry about. So she drops her bag somewhere on the floor, limply falls on to her bed, wraps herself into a cocoon and crashed.
Chloe dreams about what life could have been if things panned out a little different. If Adrian had never transferred to their highschool and Chloe had been a bit less of a dumb bitch. Honestly Adrian transferring to the school wouldn’t really matter if Chloe hadn’t been a dumb bitch but she feels a bit better if they both shared a bit of the blame. Chloe dreams about Marinette’s wide dazzling smile, where her nose gets all scrunched up and her eyes crinkle.
She dreams about that stunning smile and about it being directed at her spreading a warm fuzzy feeling through her chest and up to her finger tips. She dreams of them back in high school chilling in a classroom after class. Marinette sitting on top of a desk and Chloe sitting in front of her slowly intertwining their fingers as her cheek rests on Marinette thigh while Marinette animatedly tells her about something funny she had seen earlier that day.
She dreams about them in college sitting on the couch watching some dumb reality tv show. Chloe seated in between Marinette's legs, her head resting on Marinette's chest. Marinette running her fingers through Chloe hair and massaging her scalp as Chloe rants about what a bitch one of her professors was being.
Chloe dreams about them going on cute dates to tiny coffee shops, amusement parks, gardens and drive in movies.
She dreams about them stealing kisses under lamp posts and on the way to class.
She dreams about them having study dates in the library and barely surviving finals week together.
She dreams about how when finals week is finally over Marinette would come running towards her with a huge smile and plants a fat kiss on her lips because they are so happy to finally be done with that hell week.
She dreams about how when they finally graduated Marinette is beaming as they hold hands and walk out of the auditorium.
She dreams about being able to pick up Marinette from her family’s bakery and Marinette’s parents comfortably inviting her in and talking to her like she’s family.
She dreams about how when Marinette finally got her dream job she rushes over Chloe so she can be the first to know and they can celebrate together.
She dreams about tightly bundling Marinette up in a blanket when she falls asleep on the couch while watching a movie.
She dreams about waking up to Marinette soft features and freckles everyday. Marinette eyes slowly fluttering open and whispering “Good morning Chloe” in her still rough and groggy morning voice.
She dreams about being loved and feeling loved.
Chloe dreams of everything that could have happened. Everything she wished happened. Did any of it happen? No and it never would. It's too late for that now. But for now Chloe is content in her dreams. She sleeps well feeling warm, happy, safe and loved. Will she feel empty inside tomorrow because she knows none of it was real and that her brain came up with that because she’s sad, lonely and believes that no one is capable of loving her? Probably. Will she try to ignore and bottle up her feelings until she gets drunk and explodes again? That is also probable but once again that is for tomorrow’s Chloe to worry about.
