Note: You should totally listen to Queen of Disaster by Lana Del Rey and also Strange Love by Halsey to enhance the story because I swear I sang these songs the entire time writing this, it reminds me of them so much (~╥▽╥)~
So.. This has been going on for a while.. And I don't know how to explain it, so I'm going to start from the beginning..
It happened late one night, Max dragged me out to a vortex club party and later her and a bunch of her friends and I went back to her dorm and just hung out.
"Max! We should play spin the bottle!" Dana chimed.
"Spin the bottle? I mean.. Is that alright with everyone?" Max inquired.
Everyone seemed to nod or make a noise confirming their content.
Chloe chugged down the rest of her beer and wiped her lips with the sleeve of her jacket. "Here, you can use this." She uttered handing the bottle to Max, who placed it in the center of the circle of people.
Now you see, I was drunk off my ass and pretty hazy, but I still remember everything I felt that night, and I still feel my stomach coil when I think about it too much. The game went on as usual, girls kissed girls, boys kissed girls, boys kissed boys, hell I kissed some people, but then it happened.
"Victoria! It's your turn to spin." Juliet said informatively.
Victoria just scoffed and proceeded to spin the bottle, and it slowly came to a stop facing the blue-haired punk.
"Her?!" Victoria said distraught.
Chloe glanced over to her and scratched the back of her neck. "Well, why not?"
The blonde girl looked away trying to hide the blush that was forming on her face.
"Fine." She uttered.
"Fine." Chloe responded
Victoria scooted over towards Chloe until she was only inches away from her face, she clasped Chloe's shoulders before pulling her in for a tender, lasting kiss.
When the two separated, Chloe was so overcome with emotion that she stood up and desperately spat out a sentence.
"Hey uh.. I need to take a drag, be right back." She waved her pack of cigarettes before exiting the room and heading towards the showers.
God what the fuck is this feeling? I must be too damn drunk to understand but.. fuck.. That kiss felt really.. right..
She lit her cigarette and took a puff. Suddenly Victoria entered in after her, Chloe still had a cigarette when Victoria vigorously pulled it out and pressed their lips together again.
Chloe coughed as they disconnected. "You taste like smoke and alcohol.." Victoria sighed.
"What was that about?" the punk muttered.
"I needed to make sure I wasn't losing my mind, but if you tell anyone about this, I'll skin you."
Chloe shot Vic one of her legendary smirks. "Who is there to tell?" She chuckled, taking another puff of her cigarette.
Vic pouted and scowled at her. "You know exactly who there is to tell! We were just in a room full of people to tell!"
"I probably won't even remember this tomorrow, calm down Vicki."
"Whatever." The blonde huffed before tugging at Chloe's wrist. "Come on, we should get back."
Chloe tore Victoria's grip on her as they walked back, many of the students were returning to their dorms and waved at the pair as they passed.
"Hey Che, feeling better?" Max asked.
"Feeling alright Maxaroni. But.. Too drunk to drive, mind if I crash here?"
Chuckling slightly, Max replied "Sure thing Che."
"Cool" The blue-haired punk uttered before collapsing onto Max's bed.
"Hey hey hey!" Victoria muttered, "Don't pass out just yet you buffoon! You'll get a nasty hangover."
"You would know Miss Queen Bee." Max uttered with a small giggle.
"More like Queen Bitch." Chloe snickered.
"I'm going to pretend neither of you said anything." The blonde snarled, sitting Chloe up. "Seriously, drink some water, hangovers are horrible, Max, can you get her some water?"
"Uh, yeah sure thing." Max stood up leaving the room.
"What's with you suddenly being so nice to me Vicki?" Chloe groggily asked.
Sighing and crossing her arms, Vic muttered "Maybe I've taken a liking to you punk trash, but I'll deny ever saying that." She smiled lightly "I'll be on my way, be sure to drink the water Max gives you."
Victoria strutted out of the room and returned to her own dorm.
Shortly after, Max returned, a water bottle in hand.
"Here Chlo." She handed Chloe the water bottle.
"Thanks Max." Chloe muttered before chugging the entire water bottle and passing out.
That's how it started and since then we began hanging out more and more, I guess Max gave her my number because she called me asking me to come over a lot.
Chloe trudged up the stairs outside the dorms.
"She's god damn lucky I didn't get caught sneaking in here." Chloe muttered angrily.
When Chloe reached Victoria's door, she inhaled deeply and proceeded to knock.
The door creaked open, Victoria stood there, looking fairly casual in her pajamas. "Hey.." She cooed.
"What's up? I hate to seem pushy but I'd rather not get caught by my step-douche being here when I shouldn't be, can I come in?"
Vic sighed lightly, "Yeah, right, sorry." She opened the door allowing Chloe in.
"Sorry? Is Miss Queen Bitch going soft?" Chloe chortled.
"Sit the fuck down and listen Price." She huffed. "I am not soft, not for anyone, I AM the Queen Of Blackwell..."
"But?" Chloe sat down on Vic's bed crossing her arms.
"But.. .. Ever since that night with spin the bottle, God I haven't been able to get you out of my mind. Completely stupid right?" The blonde breathed an anxious laugh.
"You sound hella nervous over someone you literally called 'punk trash' in the same night."
"Will you let me speak?!" Vic whined.
"Alright, sorry Vic."
She cleared her throat. "As I was saying.. I.. Haven't been able to stop thinking about you, and when we've hung out before I just.. I've felt like I could just be me, and even now I'm still getting so fucking nervous in front of you and nothing makes sense to me just... Nothing without you."
Chloe jolted up from Vic's bed and clasped her shoulders. "Whoah whoah whoah Vicki are you serious right now? Like you're honestly confessing to me? That's.. That's hella weird.."
"W-Why is it weird Price?!" She blurted out, beginning to become flustered.
Chloe released her grip on Vic and headed towards the window opening it.
She pulled out and lit a cigarette beginning to smoke.
Victoria swayed impatiently waiting for a response.
"I've got something to say too." Chloe muttered.
"Well what?! What is it?" Vic huffed.
"Well, it's no different from what you said, I've had the hots for you since we kissed, that's that."
"That's that?! How are you so casual with this? Do you not even care?!"
"Shut up Vicki! God."
"That isn't very nice." She groaned.
"Well I'm not very nice, but you like me anyway." Chloe smirked.
"And you like me." She responded.
"So do you want to date or something?" Chloe chortled.
Vic walked up behind Chloe, wrapping her arms around the punk's waist. "Why do you have to treat this like one big joke..?" She sighed.
Chloe paused desperately trying to find something to say.
"Hey, listen, it's not that I think this is a joke I just.. I just act like an asshole when I don't know what to say or do alright? I already told you I like you Vic, and yeah, my suggestion of us dating probably sounded sarcastic, but I meant every word in the sincerest way I possible can.." Chloe puffed her cigarette. "I'm sorry for being such a punk asshole." She muttered.
Victoria wrapped her arms around Chloe tighter and chuckled. "You're impossible, Price."
"Oh believe me Chase, I know." She smiled putting out her cigarette and placing her hands over Victoria's.
"Chloe! Hey Chloe!" Max ran up to her friend excitedly.
"Yo Maxaroni, where's the fire? And, in my heart doesn't count." She chuckled and winked.
"Psh, no, no fire Che, but Dana and I were talking, and we were thinking how cool it'd be to go camping, before it gets too cold, you know? So we're organizing to go this weekend, you in?" Max smiled brightly.
"Sure thing Max, whose all coming along?"
"Well, Dana and Juliet for sure, we were thinking about inviting Brooke and Kate as well."
"I'm inviting Vic." Chloe interrupted.
"Oh uh, alright Chlo, whatever works."
Just then Victoria, Taylor and Courtney walked by.
"Hey Vic!" Chloe walked over and placed a hand on Victoria's arm.
Vic scoffed. "Ugh, don't touch me." She swatted away Chloe's hand.
Chloe dropped her gaze and Victoria groaned. "Girls, go on ahead, I'll catch up."
"Sure thing Tori!" Taylor obliged, pulling Courtney away.
Chloe sighed and shrugged her shoulders, cigarette hanging from her mouth. "Got plans this weekend?"
"Please don't give me that look Chloe I'm sorry. I'm just not.. confident enough to say we're dating, I swear it's not you it's absolutely me, and I'm really shitty that way, And no, no plans, have something in mind?" Victoria uttered quietly.
"You're not shitty and I love you, that's why I'm here, and camping, Max and some friends are camping, I'm going, figured I'd invite you." Chloe muttered.
"C-Camping? Isn't that a bit insanitary? I mean.. My clothes are expensive Chloe, I'd hate to have them ruined."
"Fine then Vic, don't come, have fun alone all weekend with your beloved cashmere." Chloe groaned and turned around, beginning to walk away.
".. Chloe wait! I.. I'll go.. For you.." She gave a small smile.
Chloe smirked and turned her head. "There's hope for us yet."
The blue-haired girl chuckled, satisfied with herself, she walked back over to Max.
"What was that about Che?" Max uttered with a chuckle.
"Oh you know, just using my Chloe charm to convince Vic to come along."
Max just scoffed and carried on.
When the day came, we all joined in the parking lot early, carrying our things.
"Good morning everyone!" Kate beamed.
The assortment of people either groaned or smiled in return.
"Is everyone ready to go? We all have our tents and snacks and stuff?" Max asked.
Chloe glanced around. "It looks like it Maxi-pad."
"Alright great! So who is driving with who? It'd be good to have no more than two cars." Max uttered.
"Brooke and I can go with Dana and Juliet, if that's okay with you two?" Kate inquired.
"Of course it is sweetie!" Dana cooed.
"Alright, so, I'll go with Victoria and Chloe, sound good?" Max confirmed.
"Yeah sure whatever, sounds fine Max." Victoria muttered
"Great! Let's go!"
Everyone climbed into their cars and began the trip.
Max shifted uncomfortably in the passenger's seat, before glancing back at Victoria, who was sleeping soundly.
"Hey, Chloe?"
"What's up Max?"
Max paused briefly before saying "Is there something going on between you and Victoria?"
Chloe scoffed "Like what? I don't really know what you could mean."
"Chloe please don't lie to me, I'm your best friend, you know you can tell me anything."
".. Can I really tell you anything Max? Sometimes the truth is better left unsaid."
"Chloe come on! Don't be like that! I just.. I hate for you to be so secretive, it's just seemed like we've been growing apart and.. I don't want to lose you again."
"Whoah Max, way to drop the bomb shell."
"Chloe.."
Chloe took a moment to assure that Victoria was asleep and fixed her gaze on the road again.
"Max. Vic and I have been dating for a few months now."
"W-What..? Are you serious?" Max blurted out.
"Shh! We don't want to wake her, I'm not even supposed to tell you, so shush."
"Sorry" Max muttered.
"Yeah, okay, we've been dating for a while, do you remember that night with spin the bottle?"
"After that vortex club party? Man that feels like forever ago Chlo."
"Tell me about it. But that night, when I left the room to smoke, Victoria followed after me, she kissed me again saying 'I wanted to make sure I wasn't losing my mind.' Weird right? Although, I'm only assuming you were the one who gave her my number."
"Well yeah, she asked for it."
"Yeah, and she continued to call and text me a lot dude. We hung out so much I'm surprised step-douche didn't bust me."
Staring out the window, Max looked for more things to say, feeling the slightest bit of envy.
"I just.. I hella love her. She's just everything I've ever wanted, even if she is a huge pain in the ass, but let's be real, I'm sure she thinks I'm a pain too.. Sometimes I wonder why she even stays.."
The remainder of the car ride consisted of complete silence.
When they arrived, Max immediately hopped out of the car grabbing her things.
"Well, we're here! Let's try not to set up camp too far from the cars in case of emergency."
Chloe stepped out of her truck and opened the back door, nudging Vic.
"Hey, we're here, time to get up sleeping beauty." She muttered.
Vic stretched and quivered at the feel of the mountain breeze. "Here already?"
"Uh-huh." Chloe uttered before walking away from the car, her tent and materials in hand.
"Hey wait! Uh.. Che?" Victoria spouted.
Chloe made her way back to the door. "Y-Yeah, what is it?"
Vic jumped up and wrapped her arms around Chloe, whispering "Hey, I love you okay? And I probably don't say it enough, and I suck because of that, but I love you I really do, okay?"
Chloe blushed and gently wrapped her arms around Vic. "..Did you hear my conversation with Max?"
"I did, and I think you're full of shit." Vic chuckled "Yeah, you are a pain in the ass, Price, but you're my pain in the ass, and I wouldn't have it any other way baby."
Chloe smirked and chortled "I cannot believe how hella sappy you're being Vicki.. ... But thank you. I love you too."
Victoria released her grip in Chloe and followed her towards the others.
"Alright everyone, I think we should set up our tents right away!" Dana exclaimed. "So let's get to it!"
"So I'm assuming we're just sharing tents in pairs or whatever?" Juliet asked.
"I guess so." Chloe muttered "You gonna help Vic?"
"I think I'll just supervise." Vic said with a chuckle.
"Bitch."
"Punkass."
"Retract the claws ladies." Brooke muttered.
"Go fuck yourself Brooke." Chloe joked.
"Stop being such a pain and set up the tent already Miss athletic." Victoria scoffed.
"Yeah whatever." Chloe said beginning to set the tent up.
After everyone had their tents set up Max chimed in "Alright, so... We should probably collect firewood right?"
"Yeah, don't worry Maxi-pad, I got this." Chloe beamed.
"I-I'll go with her!" Victoria blurted out.
"Okay Vic, cool, see you guys soon, be safe." Max said.
"Yes, please be safe!" Kate repeated.
Chloe trotted off and Vic followed close behind.
"Nice subtle way of getting alone time with me Vicki." Chloe smirked, picking up branches and sticks.
Victoria quickly knocked the branches out of the punk's hand and pressed her against a tree grabbing her waist. "Shut up and kiss me already." She begged angrily.
"With pleasure." Chloe chuckled before pulling Victoria in for a rough kiss.
"Fuck.." Vic muttered in between kisses "I've missed this."
Chloe chortled "I've missed you"
"That's fucking gay, Price."
"Says the lovely lady who pressed me against a tree and begged me to kiss her." Che said running a hand through the blonde's hair.
"..Fuck you, just kiss me." Victoria growled.
"Somebody's impatient." Chloe smirked, wrapping her arms around Vic's shoulders, kissing her neck.
Vic tightened her grip on Chloe's waist. "Bastard.." the blonde muttered
"Fucker."
"I hate you."
"You don't."
Tori moaned lightly when Chloe bit her neck. "..I don't."
Chloe smirked. "Yeah, I thought so." She gently pushed Vic away. "I hate to cut this short but, we do need to get fire wood back to the camp."
Victoria scoffed, her face bright red. "Yeah, fine."
Chloe gathered up the sticks she had in hand before, hoisted them on her shoulder, and walked back in the direction of the camp.
When the two made it back, the group looked at them.
"Oh hey Chloe, nice job." Max glanced over at Victoria and started to laugh. "H-Hey Victoria, what's that on your neck?"
Victoria's face went red. "W-What are you talking about?!" She placed a hand over her neck.
"Vicki's got a hickey." Max muttered before bursting into laughter.
Victoria scowled before striking Chloe across the face.
Chloe, feeling like her heart stopped, dropped the branches she had and muttered "Hey uh.. I need a minute." before crawling into her tent.
Victoria's face went pale and she quickly followed after her.
Vic gulped "C-Che..?"
The blue-haired girl wiped her tear-stained face with her leather jacket before turning to face Victoria. "W-Why.. Why would you..?"
Guilt washed over Victoria and she crawled over to Chloe. "I.. I don't know what came over me.."
Chloe gently grasped Victoria's wrists. "W-Why..?"
The blonde choked back tears. "I.. I'm such a bitch.. I'm so sorry.."
Chloe sniffled, wiping her eyes again, letting go of Victoria. "... David hit me once.. For smoking weed in my room.. I... Victoria.."
Vic scooted closer to Chloe and place her hands gently on her shoulders. "I.. I am so sorry, I really am, I'm sorry. I just.. I get so scared.. I'm supposed to be the Queen of Blackwell, and I've been upholding that reputation.. I'm sorry it ever came to this I'm just so insecure, it felt like my reputation was all I had.."
"But..?" Chloe muttered.
"But.. I have you now, and I'm sick of living a lie because.. because I love you Chloe, and we don't always get along, but I will always love you, and I promise.." Vic placed a hand gently on Chloe's face. "I will never hurt you like that again."
Chloe just leaned her face into Victoria's shoulder, still teary-eyed.
Vic placed a hand on Chloe's back. "I'll go tell them if you want, I.. I'm not afraid anymore.
Chloe intertwined their fingers and gave her a solemn nod.
Vic used her other hand to help lift herself and Chloe up off the ground. "You're okay with this?"
"Are you?" The punk retorted.
"..Yes, I am."
The two walked out of the tent together, hand in hand.
"Everyone! I have something to say." Tori exclaimed.
"What is it Victoria?" Kate inquired with bright eyes.
"Is Chloe okay?" Max asked.
"God I hope so.." Vic muttered, placing her free hand on Chloe's shoulder.
Vic gulped and took a deep breath. "Everyone, I've been hiding something for a while now.. And, it might be obvious now but regardless of that.. Chloe and I have been together for a few months now, and I've hid it because I've been selfish and insecure, but.. But she means more to me than anything, she is my everything, and I can't bear the thought of losing her, and yeah.. We've only been together a few months.. but.. they've been the best months of my life. Chloe, I really do love you.."
Chloe wrapped her arms around Victoria's waist and buried her head into Vic's shoulder. "That's really gay Vicki." She chuckled.
"Yeah, I know.." She smiled.
