Broken Things...with chloeas

[olliequeen]

Oliver climbed the stairs toward Chloe's apartment, glancing at his watch. He was a couple of minutes late and he cursed the phone conference that had kept him busy longer than he'd intended. When he finally made it to the apartment, he found the door open a little and immediately grew tense.

He could just sense something wasn't right. "Chloe?" he ventured, reaching out and gently pushing the door open, stunned to find the apartment wrecked. Broken glass was everywhere, tables were tipped over, papers scattered.

And Chloe was nowhere to be seen.

"Chloe!" His voice was urgent.

"In here" she called quietly from the bedroom, she was kneeling on the floor, all over her research folders that she kept under her bed were scattered around.

"It's not a bother, Chloe. I'd rather know you were safe than have you stay here alone after this." He motioned around. "Besides, if you insist on staying here, I'll have to spend the entire night lurking on the rooftop across the street to make sure no one breaks in here again." There wasn't a hint of kidding in his voice.

He made a face and finished hanging the blanket up over the window and turning to face her. "Are you kidding me? The guy pretty much cheated on you with Clark's cousin. You thought I liked him?"
