"You at least have to eat something Chloe" I looked up at Randy with a surprised look. This is the first time he's spoken to me since yelling at me yesterday.

"I'm not hungry." I mumbled pushing my plate away from me.

"Chloe your being ridiculous at least eat" Randy rolled his eyes walking back into the kitchen.

"I'm not being ridiculous Randy! I'm trying to think of what to say! And I'm nervous! Extremely nervous! I haven't had a decent conversation with the guy since I was seven! What am I suppose to say to him?" I finished with a huff and pushed the plate further away. Just thought of eating made me want to get sick.

"Here all help you out. Shawn, I'm sorry I was such a bitch to you and stole your car and credit card and ran off to a guy I barely know in St. Louis! Does that work?" Randy walked back in the dining room and grabbed the plate from the other side of the table.

"What's with you lately? You're the one that sounds like a PMSing girl! All you ever do is bitch since I've been here! You need to get laid" I smirked looking at him as he clenched his fist.

"Fuck off. I don't need to take this from an 18 year old!" Randy narrowed his eyes at me.

"Relax Randal. I'm sure there's a girl out there who wants to be with you!" I smiled standing in front of him and lightly tapped his cheek with my hand.

"Stop playing games with me." Randy pushed my hand off of his cheek.

"What games?" I smiled innocently, wrapping my arms around his waist.

"You know what I'm talking about Chloe." He raised an eyebrow as I stood on my tip toes and put my lips to his ear.

"Who says I'm playing?" I softly kissed him before pushing him away and running upstairs. So many feelings in just one tiny kiss…. I'll have to do that again soon. Maybe he can be my 'special' buddy for a while… wait. No! What am I saying? I'm suppose to be turning my life around. This 'changing my life' thing is harder then I thought it would be.

"Where is she Orton?!" Shawn yelled flinging the front door open. I flinched just thinking about how much he's going to yell at me.

"Upstairs." I heard Randy reply softly. A few seconds later the door to the room I was staying in slammed against the wall. Standing in the doorway was a very worried looking Shawn. I gulped. This was it. I was finally going to talk to him.

"Chloe, never scare me like that again! You have no idea how worried I was about you! I haven't slept in days! I didn't know what happened to you! I thought someone kidnapped you or even murdered you!" Shawn hugged me tightly. I couldn't help but smile and hug him back.

"I'm sorry Shawn it's just… I thought you forgot about me. You never even said happy birthday! It was all about Cheyenne! And then when you told me you wanted me to go to a therapist I freaked out and ran away. I guess I kinda thought you wouldn't care and since I'm 18 you couldn't do anything about it. But I guess I was wrong. I'm really really sorry. I didn't mean to get you worried." I closed my eyes tightly to keep me from crying. The last thing I needed was to get emotional in front of him!

"Don't cry princess. We can talk about this okay?" I smiled hugging him tighter. Princess….he hasn't called me that in 11 years.

"Why didn't you even try communicating with me? I really needed you all of those years! I've had a broken heart since the day you left me in the rain! When I needed you the most you were out with your new wife while I cried myself to sleep! Nothings been the same since you walked out of my life." I paused wiping my tears away.

"You don't what I went through! I changed completely just to get your attention! And it worked! 8 years too late! When I was finally ready to be on my own my mom dropped me off with you! And by then I promised myself I didn't need you! I was forcing myself to be happy that you were gone! I told myself day after day that you were gone for a reason." I looked up at him to see him make a confused face.

"Chloe I sent you a letter every day. I tried calling you every night! Your mom always told me you weren't home. She said she gave you all the letters! I guess she lied. I sent you presents every day on your birthday! You were my little princess. How could you think that I would just leave you completely and want nothing to do with you?"

"I thought you left me because you didn't love me and that I wasn't good enough for you. For all of these years I've been hating you when I should be hating my mom! She kept me away from you because she knew I loved you more." I wiped my eyes thinking about everything.

"I never stopped thinking about you Chloe. Your always on my mind. You're my little princess, and you'll always be my little princess, no matter how many fights we get into or how old you get." Shawn smiled kissing my head as I took everything in. So it's my mom who's been lying to me….

"I love you Chloe" He looked at me hopefully

"Shawn, I just. I need sometime to get to everything in my mind sorted through. I'm sorry." I bit my lip seeing him nod sadly.

"Are you hungry? Randy told me you didn't eat yet."

"Why don't I make dinner for Randy and you!" I smiled standing up and walking downstairs before he could reply.

"Chloe, were not gunna have time for that. Our flight leaves in two hours. We have to get to the airport." Shawn followed me into the kitchen as Randy looked up from the magazine he was reading.

"What do you mean? I never said I wanted to go back to San Antonio with you!" I put the pan down on the counter and looked at him with a puzzled look.

"Chloe, you can't honestly tell me you wanna stay here with Randy!"

When I didn't respond his face fell even more.

"Fine then. You have a choice. Either go back to Texas with me or Stay with Randy."
