Chapter 1: Missing Him
CHLOE'S POV
"CHLOE! Dinner's ready!" My mom calls.
I sigh, "Coming!" I yell
I walk out of my room, down the stairs, and into the kitchen and sit down in my chair.
"Here" My mom says placing my food down in front of me, giving me a look.
"What?" I ask.
"Nothing, nothing" She says with her hand in the air, like surrendering.
"What? Just tell me." I say a little too harshly.
"Nothing, it's just that… are you okay Chloe?" She asks.
"Of course I'm okay. I'm doing fine." I say, not making eye contact with her.
"Alright, whatever you say Chloe, but you know I'm here for you, right?" She says.
"Yeah" I say, still looking down while playing with my food with my fork.
"Chloe, look at me." She mom says.
"…Chloe" My mom says in a calm voice.
I lift my head and make eye contact with her. The next thing I know, I'm in her arms, crying.
"Sush, sush," Is all she says.
I just kept crying, my eyes getting redder and puffier.
"It's okay, Chloe, it wasn't your fault." She says. Sadly, she doesn't know that it is my fault. I wish she knew about me being Mai. I wish she knew everything so I wouldn't have to keeping lying to her, and sneaking out all the time.
"No, it's not okay." I say, lifting myself off of her.
"Chloe…"
"No, mom, there's nothing anybody could do now. He's dead and nothing is going to change that. But the worst part is that… I think I loved him." I explain while sniffling.
She sooths my hair, "Aww, Chloe, everything's gonna be okay, you just have give yourself some time." She says.
I just nod.
The house phone rings.
"Hold on" She says. I nod while wiping away my tears. I then decide to tune into the phone conversation.
Meredith: "Hello?"
The Man: Hello, Meredith this is David (mom's boss), we need you to come down to the office right away."
Meredith: "Umm, okay, I'll be there soon."
David: "Please, hurry."
Meredith: "Okay sir, bye." And she hangs up the phone.
"Chloe, I'm sorry but they need me at the office right away. I have to go." She explains with a sad expression.
"It's okay, go, I'll be fine. I think I'll go to bed anyways." I say.
"Alright, are you sure?" She asks.
"Yes, we don't wanna get you fired now do we?" I say jokingly.
She laughs. "Okay, sweetie, be safe, I'll be back soon." She says grabbing her purse, jacket, and keys.
"I will mom." I say leading her out the door.
"Alright. I love you." She says.
"Implied, now go before you're too late for whatever they need you for." I say lightly pushing her.
"K, bye." She says lastly and I close the door.
I dump our leftovers in the garbage and put the dishes and utensils in the sink, wash and dry my hands, and walk to my room. I walk up to door, turn the nob and… Oh god... this can't be good.
