Chloe stopped and Belle turned around to look at her. "Belle, where are you dragging me off to? Please tell me."

"Chloe, why can't you just trust me and follow me without asking a million questions?" Chloe rolled her eyes as Belle began walking again. They went back to the camp and it was practically deserted.

"Surprise!!" People jumped out and screamed. Chloe jumped and stared at everyone.

Belle looked at her, "You didn't think we'd find out, did you? Well, happy birthday!"

Chloe forced a smile, not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings. Phillip walked over to her and put his arm around her. "Happy birtday sweetie"

She looked at him out of the corner of her eye, she hated herself for telling him she forgave him. She wriggled out of his arms and stepped away from him.

There was a rustling in the bushes, she turned around and Shawn and Brady walked up. "Awww, we missed it!" Shawn said disappointedly, he walked over to Chloe and gave her a friendly kiss on the cheek, "happy birthday, Chloe."

Brady stood there smiling at her, she smiled back. Phillip put his arm around Chloe, "Come on Chloe, let's go," he said glaring at Brady. He began to walk but Chloe didn't move.

"Phillip?" he turned and looked at her. "I think we should talk" Brady's smile widened, he knew exactly what she wanted to talk to him about. It was about God damned time, he thought to himself, after this talk of their's he could finally be more open about his feelings for Chloe instead of having to show them in private all the time.

"Talk? No, let's just enjoy your birthday party," he grabbed her hand and tried to pull her along with him. But, she didn't budge.

"I want to talk now. I don't care about this stupid birthday party, I didn't ask for it, I want to talk to you now!" Chloe shouted at him.

His eyes widened. "OK, fine let's talk." They walked away to talk.


Brady watched them leave, he smiled. Belle walked up to him and noticed his smile. "What are you smiling about? and where did Chloe go?"

Brady turned around to look at his little sister. "Chloe's breaking up with Phillip right about now," a smile crept across his face again.

Belle rolled her eyes. "Oh and I bet you're just overjoyed about that."

"What? Why would I be happy about that?" Brady tried to look shocked but he couldn't hide his smile.

"Brady, I know you like Chloe, I know she likes you. I saw you two earlier. Plus, you thought that this whole trip was a stupid idea until you heard that Chloe was going, then you just jumped at the chance to 'chaperone' it. You're not hiding your feelings for her very well anymore, not that you ever hid them well before."

"Ok, fine, I'll admit it, I like her. Are you happy now?" Brady half-shouted at her. She smiled and walked away to Shawn.
