Biting her lip the anxious girl had made sure that her plain black shirt and trousers were not messy due how eager she was in getting home.
Chloe at times did remember seeing Daniel who did show up at odd times to see how she was leaving her leering at him, wondering why he was bothering her when she didn't want him in the room as she tried to recover in peace.
Sadly that was never going to happen as the angry girl tossed more pillows at him than any patient would have done even if they were unwell or weak for various reasons.
The doctors were even stunned to hear such foul words and see so many pillows being thrown at Daniel even as he ran out her room.
Only that was because she threw a lamp at his head… the irony of almost dying from a lamp.
Daniel to her anger had missed the lamp but almost did get hit from the glass shards that went flying due to how many pieces there were.
"YOU'RE GOING TO CLEAN THAT UP AND PAY FOR IT YOU JERK!" Chloe's shrill furious voice could be heard from the rooms, meanwhile the ones who saw Daniel gave him distain looks as they wondered why he was upsetting her to begin with.
Daniel on the other hand popped his head back in with a sly smile that grated on her nerves.
"You missed" he said playfully after she threw the lamp only to cringe as he had to endure being bit by a bedpan.
"Get out!" Chloe had screamed as her anger rose along with her voice, her hair was disheveled from having to force herself to sit up and rant at him for leaving her so rattled.
Her eyes almost bloodshot due to the lack of sleep and from having to wake up for various reasons.
One was the voices, the second was the doctors and nurses that wanted to check up on her, the third reason was her parents and lastly to her utter disgust- Daniel had shown up and started holding her hand or was stroking the back of her hand with his thumb.
Whatever he had said when she was out cold was left unclear to her but she didn't press on it, instead she wanted him to leave as he left her at ease to her worry.
After all she didn't know him and yet he left her at with an odd sense of security.
Something she didn't take too kindly to for he could be doing stuff when she was asleep and she would never have known.
Shaking her head from the unwanted thoughts Chloe now tried to focus on trying to be positive since her parents were coming soon.
Only she did hope that her stalker as she was now starting to call him would turn up after she was gone.
Just the thought of seeing that she was not there left her sniggering as he would then start to wonder in where she was, after all he didn't know where she lived.
"Or does he?" an eerie whisper echoed in her ear leaving her to bristle from the voice's words.
No… he wouldn't right?
After all her parents wouldn't have told him since she had made it clear to them that she hated him.
Plus they never did question her reasons or why she was so angry, even if her mother did make comments about his looks leaving Chloe to glare while her father turned to give his wife a look that said he was not amused.
"Ready?" Blane's voice startled her out of her daze.
"Y-Yeah" Chloe said shyly before walking towards him, her flats made tapping noises on the tiled floor as she followed him to the car that contained her mother on the seat beside the driver's seat.
Staring wordlessly she nodded her thanks to her father as he opened the left car door allowing her to sit down on the passenger seat.
"How are you feeling?" Gwen had asked softly as she turned to look at Chloe who looked at her mother.
Ignoring the door as her father closed the door even though her ears were better than before she did twitch from the sudden noise.
"I'm fine" Chloe replied politely as her father entered his side of the car, turning on the ignition he began to drive them straight home.
Silence greeted them once more, at times Chloe had asked about what was going to happen with her college only to be greeted with silence and distain which she knew wasn't directed at her but at the college for allowing this incident to happen.
For if it wasn't the bullying that harmed Chloe but the explosion that not only placed her at harm's way but other students as well.
Still Chloe didn't know what to say, she did want to brave it and got back to college to study.
However now wasn't the time to ask about it since she had to spend at least a few weeks recovering at home after dealing with her injuries before doing anything else.
"You're not going back to that college" Gwen's abrupt tone startled Chloe out of her daze as she stared out the car window, turning to look at her mother Chloe blinked.
"Why mum?" Chloe asked with pure curiosity causing Gwen to bite her lip.
"Your mother and I had a talk and we don't want to risk anymore incidents, for that we've decided to have you study at either one of our workplaces so we can keep an eye on you. Making sure that you're safe at all times" Blane explained as Chloe started at them in alarm.
That was the last thing she wanted happening after all if being with them put them in danger then she would rather risk being away from them.
Even if it meant being alone and having to endure her peer's cruelty.
"But dad, it's a once in a million chance of it happening right?" Chloe asked softly.
"There could have been a fault in the wiring plus there were chemicals being used on another level so-"
"But nothing Chloe! We've talked about this end of discussion" Gwen said sharply as she tried not to lash out and scream at how her daughter was trying to put herself in harm's way, Chloe however frowned at her mother.
"Things happen mum, you can't just pull me out when things get too tough otherwise-"
"No Chloe! I am not-"
"What about those who died?" Gwen went silent.
"Those who got injured, some will never get to carry on or do what they want to do in life because of this. I am not going to hide when something happens, I made that mistake when my friend died. I withdrawed from people allowing them to pick on me" Gwen looked at Chloe with helpless eyes, Blane however sighed as he drove silently.
"She is right Gwen" Blane said softly shocking Gwen to the point that she flashed him a betrayed look.
