Chapter 26
I twirl around laughing at my failed attempts at dancing, Mark stood next to me just watching me fooling around instead of dancing with me.
“Come on,dance!” I exclaimed,bursting out laughing when he started pretending to be a girl fanning her face and twirling.
“God! You looked hilarious” he smiled and spun me laughing along. The beauty pageant day is just two week away yet we've done a crappy job when it comes to the dance. We either just fool around or spend the dancing class eating and narrating stories. Mark is a lot friendlier and decent with the amount of days we have spent together.
“Aunt Shirley will be so disappointed at us” he says as we squat down on the floor. I passed him the water bottle, opening the cap of my own. “I know…” I said,smiling imagining the look on Aunt's face when she saw our horrible dance
Chapter 27Beep. Beep. Beep.Monday morning is always the worst day to wake up. I hate that I have school in thirty minutes yet I can't seem to find the energy and the will to wake up and make breakfast for myself.I felt like I could hear Bibi meowing beside me but then when I listened to it more closely, it seemed to be sniffing and hiccuping. I wanted to open my eyes but I found that opening my eyes requires a lot of effort and energy. So, I settled comfortably on my pillow and decided to head back to sleep.It is a lovely dream. I saw my parents and I, playing around the park with my small puppy which my daddy brought me for my birthday. We were so happy, with dad and mom laughing while they wa
Chapter 28“Aunt, I'll be fine. Just be safe on your way back” I reassured her the upmteenth time this morning. Aunt Shirley refuses to let me live alone and as much I love being taken care of, I missed living by myself. And as for Mark, he left last week because he needed to go back home. I smiled thinking of how close we had gotten this past few months. I had returned to school just two weeks ago and people who I didn't even talk to before started talking, wishing me happiness and good wishes as if I had come back from the dead. It's exactly a month and fifteen days after the accident, but my mind is still on that day with him.“Honey, I'll be coming back if you don't pick up my calls” I laughed and pulled her into a warm hug not wanting to depart yet. If the accident taught me one thing, it's th
Chapter 29I couldn't stop the shaking no matter how hard I tried not to, so I stood up abruptly making every head snap up to me. I cringed.“May I use the restroom?” I asked, looking down at my feet.“Raise your head up if you are talking to a teacher. It's disrespectful to look down” Came his hard, all too familiar voice. I may have look so weird with my behavior, I wished I had looked up on the internet and Google on 'how to behave in front of your ex-boyfriend who came back after he disappeared for two months' His voice held no emotion or any indication that he missed me, Of course, I’m crazy for even thinking about this.“You may go” he says fina
Chapter 30There was a loud knock on my door but I ignored it. I couldn't recall how long I've been locked away in the confines of my room nor did I care. My stomach grumbles with hunger almost to the point of hurting but I welcome it. The pain on my stomach is nothing compared to pain in my chest, Damien might as well tear my heart into bits with his bare hands. What went wrong with us? Why is he not talking with me!? The more I think about it, the more I’m mad at him for treating me this way. The least he could do is explain what happened.I sat up feeling mad and hungry, I knew I would regret it later but my fingers are already stroking the keyboard, typing out my frustrations and the words that I've been meaning to write ever since I woke up. I typed out all the crappy lyrics pouring out of my soul and crying oc
Chapter 31”Ethan! Slow down” I begged,my breath coming out in a heavy gasp. He rolled his eyes but did what I said.“Move faster lady. We need to get there before your boyfriend runs off with his girlfriend to the countryside” I glared at the back of his head. For some reason, Ethan thought that running in the morning would do me good, mentally but so far he's not right. I don't feel any better.Also he Says that I should start seducing Mr Young, which I find it to be ridiculous but he's adamant. He even made me wear mascara and lipstick and forced me to style my hair. I was secretly glad that he's being such a good friend by helping me out.When I reached my place, I took a cold shower and threw myself on the bed. Since it's the weekend I decided to work on the lyrics that I've been writing since last week. I opened my laptop and found a new email on
Chapter 32“Chloe.. ” It is like that one word breaks the trance that I’m in . He stood up from his sitting position.I run towards him, feeling as if he would disappear if I don't feel him. He stumbled back from the force, I buried my face into his chest. I don't care that he loves Alessa, he can't just forget me.“Chloe, I am sorry”“Do you remember me now?” I asked, tilting my head to see his face. He looked down at me with the sadness expression. My lungs are so heavy, It felt as though I couldn't breathe.“I never forgot you,” I laughed, happy that he remembered m
Chapter 33“You look gorgeous Chloe. Sebastian won't be able to take his eyes off you” I blush at the compliment. Grace is in my apartment and she's helping me get ready for my date with Sebastian. Turns out that Grace is a fun person to hang out with. She's a cat person like me, she loves reading and thinks Mr Young is hot. We have a lot in common.“It feels weird though. I mean Sebastian is my friend” I told her honestly.“He’s not asking you to be his girlfriend. It's just a date, Chloe. If you think that you can't like him after today, you can just end it”“Can I ask you something?” I asked, turning fully towards her. Her brown eyes lit up i
Chapter 34Sebastian and I had the best dinner. Our date first started off with good food which was quite satisfying. He's one of the best guys from our school. Proper and polite, never saying things that would offend someone. He's the best boyfriend one could ever wish for but he's not for me. Here's why: The moment he drives away from my apartment, all I want to do is run back and cancel our date, Mr Young solely the reason. I kept on picturing his sad, teary face. I couldn't focus on the date.“I had a great time tonight Sebastian. Thanks for taking me out” I unbuckled my seatbelt, and opened the car door.“My pleasure. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do” he says.&ldq
Epilogue 5 years later I made my way towards the big flat where my best friend lives with his many girlfriends. I am almost scared of walking into his expensive suite because I haven't had any good experience before since Ethan is a manwhore. At twenty three, he slept with several girls every week and often made them run away crying when he refused to see them for the second time. Today, though it felt different, there were no girls, instead the whole band was present. Blissful music with Ethan, Oliver, Jack, Brandy and Sebastian are now one of the most famous boy bands in the city. I hardly see them because they are always on tour. The only person who always called me daily is Ethan because he liked to annoy me. &n
