This chapter is a very important one but it may have a shit load of errors so I apologize in advance, I was too lazy to reread it.
Chloe's Point of View:
I woke up the next morning and the sun burned my eyes. I brought a hand up to cover them and heard a groan from behind me making all the events of last night wash over me like cold water. I felt a searing pain in my chest that made me clutch my stomach.
"Hey, are you any better this morning?" Kaylee asked in a sleepy voice. "Or is it even worse?"
I thought about lying to her and Matt but I figured they would see right through it and I really wanted someone in my corner right now. "It's even worse. It feels like my chest is being ripped apart and I can't stop it. I just want to go back to the way things were."
I started crying again and I felt Matt's arms wrap around me from behind and Kaylee's from the front. I felt really safe and knew that they would always be here for me, no matter what happened and that made me tears lessen a bit.
There was a knock at my door and I heard Riley's voice say, "Chase and I are coming in and there's nothing you can do to stop us."
I couldn't help but smile slightly when they came in still in their pajamas with sad smiles. Riley sat at my head and placed it in his lap and Chase sat behind Kaylee. I loved that I had so many people who cared about me; I'd never really had that before.
"Liam's a douche and I always knew that. I should've warned you," Riley said, running his hands through my hair that had fallen out of my ponytail last night.
"I wouldn't have believed you, I would've thought you were just trying to get in my pants," I said, closing my eyes and trying to hold in my tears.
"That's true, but he's in love with you. No matter how much of a dickhead he is sometimes, he is in love with you," Chase said quietly.
That was just like him to say something that would piss me off if it came from someone else but with him it was just…okay. I think that everyone needs a Chase in their life, someone who just says stuff and it makes everything better.
"I don't care how he feels now, I just know that he completely broke my heart last night and just slammed his door in my face. I just have one question for him and I'm going to go ask it," I said pushing myself up from my bed and storming to his room.
I didn't knock on his door I just pushed it open and slammed it, jarring him awake. He looked up at me with those big brown eyes and I had to fight to stay mad at him, I loved those damn eyes.
"Chloe, what the hell are you doing in here? It's nine in the morning on a Sunday," he said, rubbing sleep from his eyes and standing up.
"Did you ever even love me at all?" I asked quietly, and then I pretty much shouted, "Did you ever even have feelings for me?"
He flinched but said, "Why would you think that I never had feelings for you? We were together for almost a year that means that you meant the world to me."
"Then why did you just let me go without a fight? You don't just let the ones you love go!" I said, tears streaming down my face again but I didn't brush them away.
"It's not healthy for mates to not be together, you'll never be truly happy with me now that you know about Derek," he said his name with venom that I had never heard before.
"Don't you dare go and blame this on him; he isn't what we're talking about. I want to know if you still love me," I said quieter.
"I'm completely in love with you but that doesn't mean anything anymore, you're supposed to be with Derek not me and I can't stand in the way of your happiness," he said and I swear I saw tears in his eyes.
"I'm happy with you not with him, you're the one I want to be with," I said but I felt a twinge in the back of my mind.
"I see it in your eyes that you're not being completely honest with me," he said pushing his glasses up his nose.
"I'm not going to lie to you and say that I feel nothing for Derek but I am going to say that I don't love him more than I love you, you're the one I want to be with," I said and left off the right now.
"Right now," he added for me and I knew I was crying harder than I had.
"I hate this so much; I want to be with you. You make me feel so beautiful and special all the time," I said, "I don't want to lose that."
"Chloe you lost that when you stayed outside with him instead of coming inside with me, I don't know what to do but I know I can't love you when your heart loves him," Liam said and I saw his tears start to fall.
"But I'm not the one giving up on us you are, I want to try and make us work but you're just giving up," I cried.
"Sometimes giving up is the only choice you have. I will always love you Chloe but I just can't be number two for you," he said and walked past me.
I didn't know why but I walked to the room at the end of the hall and knocked. A sleepy looking Derek opened the door and looked down at me confusedly. I took back my fist and hit him in the face as hard as I can. I felt it connect with his jaw but it barely made his head move.
He took my fist in his hand and lowered it down, "Well good morning to you to Chloe. Is there any particular reason you hit me?"
"You're the reason that Liam and I can't be together anymore," I said then in a whimper I said, "Because I love you."
Yep, reviews are love :)
