Chapter Text
Chloe sat at the table running her fingers around the rim of her empty glass as Adam walked over “sorry I’m late, recording run over a little” he looked up at Chloe as a forced smile appeared on her face, Adam rolled his eyes and went to the bar. Chloe looked up as Adam returned with a bottle of red wine and two glasses, Adam sat down and filled the glasses with wine almost emptying the bottle “so want to tell me what’s wrong” Chloe picked up the wine glass closest to her and started drinking it “whoa Chloe slow down” Chloe put the now almost empty glass down “what the hell has he done?” Adam looked at Chloe as she picked up the bottle pouring what was left into her glass “he forgot our anniversary” Adam widened his eyes in shock “what after last year” Chloe nodded as she emptied her glass “you would have thought after the fight last year he would have remembered this time” Chloe shrugged as a waiter stopped by their table “hi there are we having food today?” Chloe smiled “no thanks, but could you get me a bottle of red wine the one with the highest alcohol content” the waiter looked at the wine list in his hand “that bottle is $300 ma’am” Chloe smiled as she handed him a credit card “perfect my stupid boyfriend is paying” the waiter took the card and went to fetch the order “he’s going to kill you when he gets the bill, please tell me that’s all you put on it” Chloe bit her lip as she looked down at the bags by her feet, Adam followed her eyes looking down “oh Chloe no, how much?” Chloe shrugged “well after the wine $500” Adam shook his head as he took a deep breath “oh Chloe, why do you do this every time you fight, you know that you just end up having a huge fight when he gets the bill, you almost broke up last time” Chloe shrugged as the waiter handed her the card back and placed a bottle of wine on the table “thank you” Chloe picked up the bottle as the waiter walked away and poured herself a glass. Adam looked at his phone seeing a missed call and text from Tommy, he read the text as Chloe took a drink of her wine “Chloe does Tommy even know where you are?” Chloe nodded forcing a smile “then why has he text me asking if I’ve seen you because he doesn’t know where you are?” Chloe sighed as Adam put his phone on the table “okay so I kind of packed a bag and left while we were fighting” Adam looked at her raising an eyebrow “how long have you been away, your anniversary was five days ago” Chloe bit her lip again “I left in the early hours of Tuesday morning” Adam put his glass down looking at her straight faced “Its fucking Friday Chloe, where the hell have you been sleeping” Chloe looked down “with a friend” Adam shook his head sighing frustrated “you don’t have any friends here in LA, where have you been staying” Chloe took a long drink from her wine before looking down “Sauli’s in town” Adam looked at Chloe shocked “what?” Chloe frowned “don’t make me repeat it” Adam grabbed his wine finishing the glass “he’s still hurting Adam and he just wanted to collect some stuff I had of his he was here for work so I said I would meet him” Adam raised an eyebrow “and when you left Tommy you went running to Sauli and not me?” Chloe looked at Adam angry with the way he was speaking to her “don’t be bitter Adam, whenever I called you, you were too busy recording for me no matter how much I needed you Sauli was the only person I could go to since my mom moved away” Adam looked down suddenly feeling awful “I’m sorry Chloe, I didn’t mean to shut you out, I guess, I just, I’m not over it” Chloe nodded “neither is he.” Chloe poured Adam a glass of wine and topped her glass up with what was left as Adam’s phone started to ring.
Adam looked down “it's Tommy, I’m telling him where we are” Chloe took Adam’s phone from the table before he could “you’re fucking not” Adam sighed “Chloe give me that phone he’s worried about you” Chloe raised an eyebrow “you tell him where we are or where I’m staying you will regret it” Chloe handed Adam the phone and he quickly answered it “sorry Tommy I was recording what’s up?” Adam nodded as he listened to him “well I spoke to her yesterday she never mentioned it, but she seemed fine” Adam shrugged looking at Chloe pissed “no I don’t know where she is staying” Adam nodded “sure if I find out I’ll let you know” Adam hung up “he’s fucking worried he was about to call the police and report you missing” Chloe sighed as she looked down “Chloe go home, he’s really worried” Adam looked at Chloe as she kept her head down “we’ve been dating for 5 years now, living together for 4 years, I want to take the next step but he’s not ready” Adam sighed “if you love him you’ll wait for him Chloe, I have to get back my next session is in 40 minutes, I love you” Chloe smiled slightly as Adam got up “thanks for meeting me, love you too Adam” Adam left leaving Chloe with the rest of her wine.
