Home -Noah-

[chloe]

An awkward silence between the girl and the goddess as the plain was on its way to the gorgeous land of Greece. Chloe was born there, raised there and she fled from it for a very good reason. She was sick and tired of her family, her father being a real jackass. But this trip was for her alone, she was all on her own as far as she could tell and she made Aphrodite promise to shut up until they were actually there.

The goddess of love became a small pain in the ass through the days and Chloe figured she should be happy Chloe didn’t get rid of her. But then again, Aphrodite did everything for her, and keeping Aphrodite with her, was only a small favor back. The plane slowly landed on the airport and as soon as Chloe got out she saw the missing posters all over the place.

Looking at the poster she realized how grateful she was for what Aphrodite had done for her. She changed her into this, made her look all different and good about herself. With a sigh Chloe took the poster and looked at it.

’’ They must love you still Chloe. This is recent, means they are still looking for you. “ Aphrodite whispered but Chloe shook her head. With a groan she threw it away and moved on to get a cab. Aphrodite opened the door and sat down looking at the driver.

Town Square please. [/b] she said and paid him before he drove off to take her to the town square. On the road she saw a lot of things she used to miss from Athens. They had these great hang outs hang out, and again everywhere were the posters. Her old looks from the poster despised her.

She didn’t look like that anymore so it was safe to say, she didn’t ruin it at all. Another sigh from her lips as the cab stopped and she could get out to see the town square and the huge mansion on its left, a place she used to call home. Chloe had made false paperworks and was ready to declare herself as dead.

You sure about this? It doesn’t have to be this way Chloe. Aphrodite said trying to get it out of her head. But chloe just nodded and walked over to the door. She knocked gently and she heard feet rushing to the door, like there haven’t been visitors in a while. The door swung open and the face of her mother looking sad surprised her.

”” Yes? How can I be of service? ‘’ the mother said not sounding very good with the word choices. Then again, her English was never good.

Chloe raised a fake police badge and gave her an apologizing look.

Ma’am my name is Jessica Parker. I am an investigator in Reefside America, and with great sorry I have to tell you your daughter has been found dead between the cliffs. Is this your daughter? [/b] she spoke and held up a picture she photoshopped and the poster she found on the roads.

Tears streamed down her mothers eyes as she cried for her husband and sank down onto her knees. Chloe’s heart ached badly, how could she do this to her mother? The only woman who cared a bit about her was broken inside now. All these years they seemed to be living on hope. And their own unnoticeable daughter took it away from them.

But the pure evil himself came to the door with a baseball bat. Chloe raised her hands and with huge stupidity they saw the only thing that belonged to her. A silver charms bracelet. Chloe quickly let down her arms and coughed.

Color=hotpink] Again ma’am my apologies and condolences. [/color] she spoke quickly and walked away. She heard them, calling her chloe, begging her to stay, hearing them understand why she lied. No they never would understand. Chloe fastened her way through the crowds and away from sight so she could sit down at the edge of a fountain and cry her own eyes out.

I’m sorry Chloe. Aphrodite whispered.

Why had he done this again? Why had he dropped everything and flown halfway around the world on the stregnth of a single, short message from her?

Because you love her you ass said the voice deep inside of him, a voice, though correct, Noah had been trying to suppress for months now, every since he formally met the pink ranger. He had denied it at first, not wanting to believe it could happen to him. Besides, he had too much else to worry about in his life, he did not need this.

Still, the very thought that someone as beautiful, talented, smart, and a whole host of other things would have even the smallest interest in him was intriguing to say the least. He had started out by keeping their relationship professional, ranger to ranger, but that only worked for a little while. It was not long before he really started to see her in a different light, one that he tried to deny, but could not no matter how hard he tried.

He wanted to ask her on a date, really did, but the very thought of it made him feel like an awkward teenager. He had zero experience in this and was too scared to even try, lest he lose her completely. Then there was the small matter that neither of them had the ideal home life. He had the thought that if he tried to "make a move", then it would make her life more complicated, and she would resent him for that. He knew that he would if the situation were reversed. He also had his own messed up life to contend with. His mother was getting worse with each passing day, and it was all that he could do to keep both of them sane.

Still, he had hope, and it was that hope that had awakened when he recieved a simple, short text message from her the day before:

Meet me in Greece, town square, tomorrow a.m.

He hesitated only a moment before jumping up and taking a sizable chunk out of his savings for the ticket.

Now, here he was, scanning the crowd looking for that flash of pink. It took him a few minutes, but he eventually found her. Sitting on the edge of a fountain, and....was she crying? Instantly concerned, he made his way to her as fast as he could. Sitting next to her, he did the the only thing he could think of, he put his arm around her in an attempt to comfort and prayed that she did not pull away.

Chloe felt terrible, she abandoned her mother, even if she wasn’t to blame. Chloe had an inner battle with her goddess and she didn’t want to fight with her either now. Chloe listen to me, you made this decision on your own, I made you look older and more convincing but whatever I do, I can’t change you to someone you’re not, even in the aging, It will still be you. A mother can see that, just like my little cupid. Aphrodite spoke in a motherly tone for the first time.

Chloe dried off her tears and somehow they kept coming like she was leaking. but what if, what if nothing will change, I will forever stay on the streets. [/i] she thought and shook her head lightly when an arm put around her. Looking up at who did such a thing she saw noah. As happy as she was of him being here, as surprised she was that he even showed up.

Chloe looked at him and smiled half. Thanks for coming, sure didn’t expect it. [/b] she spoke softly and hugged him tight. At least noah is there for her, no one else was, and so far she just needed noah.

For what seemed like forever, they just sat there on the fountain. But for Noah, that was enough. The girl that he cared for was obviously hurting and he wanted to offer as much comfort as he could. He was burning with questions. He wanted to know just what the heck was going on. Why had she suddenly left and flown halfway around the world? And why here of all places? The familiar tugging inside of him told him that Zeus knew the answer and was burning to tell him, but he was in no mood to hear from the cranky king of the Olympians just yet.

So he just sat there, with his arm around his girlfriend, offering what comfort that he could, though he was sure that it was not enough. Though the way that she nestled into his chest told him that perhaps he was wrong. Until he had met her, he had not thought that he was worth much to anyone, that he had nothing to offer the world. Becoming a ranger had helped, and he had found some purpose there, but Chloe, with all of her issues and imperfections had brought out the best in him. It was her that had shown him that he was worth something and that she needed him more than anything.

Finally, Noah leaned down and gently lifted her chin so she could look into his eyes. The tears running down her cheeks made his heart break, and he felt like crying himself, but he forced himself to control. He had to be strong for her. He could suffer later. Then, without saying a word, he leaned down and gave her a soft kiss on the lips. Hoping that that would be some kind of help to sooth her tortured soul.
