Chapter 34
"Can I please come in?" I whispered, wiping at my eyes with the back of my hand.
"Chloe, what happened?" He asked, taking my arm and leading me inside.
"Wesley and Morgann kissed and I just don't understand why." I hiccuped.
On the way there, I started crying. Not because of Wes but because of Morgann. She betrayed me in a way and it's the first time anything like that has ever happened. I hated that I had to run but I had to clear my head.
"Can I just stay in the guest room?" I asked, keeping my head down.
"Of course you can. If you need anything else I'll be in my room." He replied, giving me a hug. It felt so right to be in his arms again.
"Thank you Louis."
I slowly dragged my feet up the stairs and opened the door to the huge room: a queen sized bed was pushed against the wall, a window overhead, two white couches were positioned in front of the flat screen T.V., and the closet was opened to reveal a few hangers.
I dug through some of the dresser drawers until I found an old pair of plaid pajama pants and gray t-shirt. I turned on the T.V. and climbed in bed.
I was staying at my ex-boyfriend and best-friend's house because my other best-friend kissed who I considered my boyfriend. Well, that's a little confusing.
I snuggled into the covers as tears flooded to my eyes. I wasn't really sure why I was crying...I was just sad. Sad because I wasn't sure who I could trust anymore. Sad because I had turned to the person I vowed never to turn to again.
Ding!
I sniffed and glanced down at my phone: it was from Perrie.
To: Chloe :)
Hey girl! Call me when you get a chance I have some big things to discuss!
I obviously wasn't doing anything right now, but I told myself I would call Perrie tomorrow. I wasn't really in the mood to talk.
"Chloe?"
"Yeah?" I asked.
"I have your favorite ice cream if you want any." Louis told me.
"Okay. Thank you." I replied, a tiny smile threatening to form.
"Anytime."
I rolled over as Louis gently closed the door and finally found myself drifting off to sleep.
~~~
I woke up the next morning to the sun shining in my eyes and ten texts from Morgann.
"Hello?" Perrie asked after the third ring.
"Good morning Perrie." I greeted, getting out of bed and starting to put on my clothes from last night.
"Chloe! I'm glad you called." She laughed.
"So what's all this about 'big things'?" I asked.
"I want to tell you over the phone so badly, trust me I do, but I can't. Can you meet me later?" She replied.
"Sure. Any specific address?" I answered, pulling my top over my head.
"Yeah, I'll text it to you." Perrie said.
"Okay, well I'll see you later then." I told her.
We hung up and I pulled my hair into a messy ponytail before practically running down the stairs. I ran past Louis in the kitchen and I almost knocked him to the ground.
"Chloe? Where are you going?" He asked me, wiping some spilled coffee off the counter.
"I need to grab some clothes from my flat. I'm meeting up with Perrie later and I really don't feel like running into Morgann or Wesley this morning." I told him, getting my keys from the table.
"Won't she be awake?" Louis replied.
"No, she sleeps in pretty late on weekends." I said. "Now, I have to get going."
"Okay. Be safe." He answered.
I ran out to my car and sped back to where the events of last night occurred. Quickly parking, I rushed up the stairs and, as quietly as I could, unlocked the door.
"Chloe?"
Oh God.
"Is that you?"
Oh God, please, not now.
I looked from side to side, trying to gauge where to run or hide. I knew the voice was coming from the kitchen so I decided on running up the stairs. I turned the corner to my room and slowly opened the door.
"What the hell?" I mumbled, being very quiet as I stepped around discarded sheets to see who was sleeping in my bed.
Of course, it was Wes. The memories from last night flooded back as I tried to put up a mental barrier. My mind was so preoccupied with other things I thought maybe it would be easy, but of course it wasn't. I didn't even care about Wes, really. I cared that my best friend felt like she couldn't tell me how she felt and I found out the way I did.
I shook the thoughts from my head and proceeded to grab a few outfits to stuff in my bag, along with hair products and shoes.
"I thought I heard you up here." Morgann whispered.
I didn't turn around, I only rolled my eyes and continued packing my stuff.
"Are you moving out?" She asked, and I felt her hand on my arm. I jerked away from her and grabbed my other bag to pack things in.
"I don't know. I think I need a break." I told her, finally finishing and turning to face her. Five minutes in this awful apartment felt like years.
"Fair enough." She replied.
"Yeah I agree." I coldly said, turning on my heel and walking towards the door.
"Chloe wait." Morgann whispered. "Hear me out."
"No thank you." I answered, making my way down the stairs, and out of that hell hole.
~~~
"So what is it you wanted to talk about?" I asked, crossing my legs and sipping my coffee.
"So, I know you're touring with One Direction and Emblem3...right?" Perrie replied.
I nodded my head and answered with a simple "yes".
"Well, I heard about everything that's been going on and it seems like you need a break. Like soon." She told me.
"I agree. Maybe I shouldn't tour at all." I replied, shrugging my shoulders.
"No, no, no, no. That's not what I'm getting at."
"Then what are you getting at?" I asked.
"My manager thinks it would be good for you to tour with us. With Little Mix." She answered, taking a deep breath and holding it.
I felt my eyebrows raise at her proposition and my foot started shaking like it did when I had a choice to make.
"I don't know..." I trailed off.
"Think about it like this: you've only toured with boys. Little Mix is girls only and, right now, it looks like you could really use a few months with just girls." Perrie said, trying to convince me.
I thought about it. No Louis, no Wesley, no Morgann showing up unexpected. But then there was also, no Niall, no Liam, no Simon. The pros and cons were even.
Right now, I need to be thinking of myself and what I need. I need a place where I can feel safe for a while...and that place sounds just like what Perrie explained.
"You know what? I'll do it." I smiled.
~~~
I had the revelation of Chloe joining Little Mix while I was taking off my makeup... :)
Are you a Diana or a Georgia Rose? Let me know in the comments.
