Note: I was thinking about writing a seperate story from a different person's point of view. Like Matt, Simon, Mary, Eric etc. Some of the same things would happen, depending on whose point of view I write it from. So far people would like Sarah, Mary, or Simon. I am thinking about writing from Simon's point of view, unless more people respond! Please tell me if you would read it and whose point of view you would like to hear it from. This chapter goes back to Chloe's point of view. PLEASE REVIEW!

Chapter 25

Feelings

Chloe's POV

Beep-beep-beep. I pull my cell phone out of my pocket. It's probably Mary or Lucy. I open the text message. It was from Lucy and it said, "We need to talk!!!"

"K where r u?" I reply, typing nervously.

"In our room."

"K we'll be right there."

"Mary and Lucy want to talk," I tell Ruthie.

"Let's go," she replies as she grabs my arms and yanks me up.

"I don't know if I can do this," I say when we get to the door.

"It's going to be ok," Ruthie replies. I could tell she was nervous too.

We enter the room and I could tell right away that Mary and Lucy had been crying.

"Can I talk to you first?" Lucy asks.

Shoot. They wanted to talk to me alone.

Ruthie gives me a go-a-head-you-can-do-it-look.

"Alright," I reply and Lucy gets up. I follow her outside and over to the rock.

She gives me a big hug with tears streaming down her face.

"I had no idea you felt that way," she pauses for a second before continuing, "Thanks."

"What do you mean thanks?" I ask totally puzzled.

"It's all true. I can't believe how awful I've treated you," Lucy says bawling now.

I had no idea this was going to happen. I was not prepared for it. I gave her a hug and tried to console her. I didn't mean to make her so upset.

After about ten minutes Lucy was finally able to stop crying. "I'm sorry," Lucy says.

"I'm sorry too."

Then we just sat there next to each other, staring into space.

"I'm going to be a better sister. I promise," Lucy replies.

"Me too. I'll be there for you. And I'll baby-sit anytime," I say.

"Kevin! He must feel awful. I did the same thing to him. It's so easy to just put up that wall."

"Yeah and it's hard to take it down."

"I love you," Lucy says with tears in her eyes.

"I love you too," I reply.

We sit there for awhile longer before Lucy says, "I better call Kevin."

"Are you going to tell him?" I ask.

"Yeah, I've got to," she replies as she takes off down a path.

I sat there for a minute before I decided it was time to talk to Mary. I walked back into our room.

"My turn?" Mary asks.

"Yeah."

As soon as we're sitting on the rock Mary says, "I'm sorry."

"Me too."

"I never knew how much I hurt you. I've missed so much in your life. It's like you're a stranger to me. I hate myself for never talking to you. It's all my fault."

"No it's not," I say even though I do partially blame Mary.

"Yeah it is, but I'm moving back to Glen Oak. I'll be there for you. I'll be a real sister. I promise." I could tell it was really hard for her to talk to me and she was just trying to get it over with as fast as she can, but she was very sincere. I knew she meant every word she said.

"I'll be there for you too."

Then the Friends theme song started running through my head. So, I started singing it and Mary joined in. Then, Lucy came back, followed by Ruthie.

"I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you
'Cuz you're there for me too...

No one could ever know me
No one could ever see me
Seems you're the only one who knows
What it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with
Make it through all the rest with
Someone I'll always laugh with
Even at my worst I'm best with you, yeah
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
And it hasn't been your day, your week, your month,
or even your year..."

So we're singing loudly and crying at the same time when mom and dad, followed by Matt, Simon and the twins come out.
