The minute Chloe heard the door close she burst into actual tears that she was hiding from Connor but he stood outside her door... he was torn. It was all his fault. Connor looked down and took a deep breath, trying to pull himself together. He called another taxi and left her house... heartbroken himself...

---------------------

Connor sat on Chloe's front doorsteps waiting for her arrival. Exactly an hour and twenty-four minutes later Chloe pulled up in front of her one-bedroom house

"Connor?" Chloe asked walking to her front door "What are you doing here? It's 10:30 at night"

Connor stood up and brushed off his pants "I---wanted to talk to you"

She pulled her keys out of her pocket and unlocked her door "Come inside" She motioned. She was confused but didn't care... Connor followed her inside to be greeted with a neatly decorated house, pictures covered the walls and décor covered her kitchen

"What's wrong?" Chloe asked taking off her winter coat and hanging it up on the coatrack next to the door

Connor looked around, he didn't know what to say "I...came" Connor couldn't speak correctly

He's never been at loss for words

"I came to say goodbye" Connor whispered

"What..." Chloe's voice went dead. She was overcome with sadness, fear "Connor" She reached for his hand 

"I'm going to find this place they call Jericho..." He replied in a soft tone "My goal is to find and... terminate the deviant leader. If I fail---"

"Connor" Chloe started to move closer to him

"Chloe" Connor stepped away from her "Please don't" His voice was trembling

"Hank and I we're taken off the case...If I fail... I'll be sent back to CyberLife" Connor tried to finish but couldn't, seeing Chloe cry caused him to panic... he couldn't think

Chloe stood still, her eyes filled with tears "You can't... You can't Connor" She tried to speak through her tears

"Chloe, I know how you feel" Connor tried to stay strong "But I am a machine"

"You're not!" She cried out "You're so much more than that! You're just like me! You're like my dad! You are alive Connor!"

Tears streamed down Chloe's face "I-"

Connor cut her off "I am a machine, Chloe! You are a human being!"

"Why can't you see yourself how I see you!" She cried "How my dad sees you!"

Connor pulled out a small pocket knife from his pocket, wrapped his hand around the blade, and pulled down... Blue blood dripped down his hand. Chloe grabbed it in panic to check his wound but she watched in shock as his hand self healed

"I bleed blue  Chloe...I'm not the same as you" He pulled his hand out of hers

Chloe let out a heavy, shaken breath "I don't care Connor" She whispered softly

She cupped Conner's face into her hands, her lips slowly crashed into his

"Chloe..." Connor pulled away within a second 

"Goodbye Chloe" Connor touched her shoulder and walked away

The minute Chloe heard the door close she burst into actual tears that she was hiding from Connor but he stood outside her door... he was torn. It was all his fault. Connor looked down and took a deep breath, trying to pull himself together. He called another taxi and left her house... heartbroken himself...
