Chapter Twelve

Chloe’s POV

“I’m in here.” Oh shoot, I shouldn’t have said anything.

I quickly super dried my tail and grabbed my mint coloured robe hanging on my freshly green painted bathroom door. I stood for a second, enjoying the soft material that sat on my shoulders. I ran my hand through my soapy hair and laughed to myself. I can get water out of my hair, but I can’t get the soap out.

I heard her high heels click on the wood floors as she entered the room “In here?” I responded with a “Yeah” and I exited the bathroom.

“Your room looks fabulous!” I nodded and took a good look. The walls were painted a comfy light purple, the window curtains a darker shade of purple to compliment the walls and the comforter tied it all in with a gorgeous shade of lavender. To say the least, I like to theme rooms with just one colour.

I smiled as my eyes skimmed over the pictures on the wall. There was one of me and Isabel back when we first met, a picture of what I currently look like (taken specifically for my wall of pictures) , and a picture of me, Georgia, Vanessa and the boys.

“Thanks , but I couldn’t have done it without the help of the boys.” A soft chuckle erupted deep inside her lungs before continuing the conversation. “Speaking of the boys, where are they off to now?”

I smiled at the fact that she didn’t know where her own boyfriend was at. “They had a gig at the cafe.” There was a moment of silence.

Should I tell her that she did see what she thought she did a few weeks ago? Can I trust her? I guess we’ll find out.

“You were right G. I’m a f’ish’. I’m sorry I kept it from you, but it was for mine and your safety. The boys already know.” She gripped her chest, as if I’d taken the air out of her lungs. “Oh my—you’re…a—?”

“Mermaid.” I grabbed the plastic glass of water on my dresser and dipped my hand in it. My tail formed immediately and the glass dropped to the floor, leaving me in a puddle of water. The scarlet glow that my tail gave off lit up her surprised face. “Can I tell Vanessa?” I shook my head “But you must tell her!” A frown spread across my lips. “…No one. They have to find out on their own.: Her head tilted to the side and she nodded.

“You will have to tell me all about this second life you have sometime. I was just here to drop of Calum’s pizzas. He left it at my flat. How about we go out on Saturday?” I agreed and giggled at the reason for her dropping by. I strained my arms to give her a quick hug before she left. When she was gone, I could still smell her ‘Wonderstruck’ perfume. I’m a big fan of Taylor Swift’s perfume line, too.

 I let my laziness take over and I laid my back on the floor and stared up at my ceiling  fan. The room got smaller  a my eyes began to slowly shut.

I woke to the sounds of girls screaming familiar names…most importantly, a familiar band name, 

“5 Seconds of Summer.” I stood on my feet and rubbed my head, a sharp pain rushing across my scalp. Must have hit my head….'

I look on the stage to find four familiar boys. They made it. This is their dream

“….And this is our mermaid friend and Ashton’s girlfriend, Chloe!” Calum’s voice echoed through the stadium and all eyes were glued to me. What the hell is he doing?!?!?!? Why would he reveal my secret to the world.
