"Chloe..." Brady whispered.
"S-Sorry to interrupt." she stammered.
She turned and walked out, trying not to let Brady see she was hurt,
"Chloe!" Brady called after her, starting to get up.
"Belle, I'll be back later" She called. "I forgot something at my house."
She hurried out of the house. Mimi? she thought as she got in her car. Of all people, it had to be Mimi? God you're so stupid, Chloe. She told herself as she pulled out onto the road. How could you let yourself get caught up in his charms? He's just like the rest of them. He's a liar. But what about all those great times we had together, the moments we shared? Were those all lies too? Apparently. She wondered how many times Brady had told Mimi that he loved her and that they had a "connection." She shuddered with disgust at her own stupidity. He and Mimi were probably in there laughing at her. Or more likely, they were all over each other. How could she have thought for a minute that Brady was better than Philip?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~FLASHBACK~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Chloe!" Philip cried as soon as she opened the door. He enveloped her in a big hug. "I missed you."
"Philip! You're back! (Chloe's all, stating the obvious) How was your trip?"
"It was great! I had so much fun! Well-" his face suddenly turned serious, "except for worrying about you and my nephew."
"Philip, please, don't start." Chloe pleaded.
"Why not?" he asked, following her up to her room. "Every time I called it seemed you were with Brady."
"Were just friends, Philip. Besides, I had no one else. What, was I supposed to spend my entire summer alone?"
"No but..."
"It's not like were together anymore, anyway."
"I know but..." Philip continued on and on with his endless whining and ranting. Chloe was only half listening. She nodded and threw in a few defensive comments, but really she could care less.
Why am I sitting here and listening to this? She asked herself. Brady is so much more than Philip. I would so much rather be with him. I love- oh my God. I am so stupid. Brady was right. Philip is a little boy. I should be with Brady. He loves me, unlike this possessive freak.
"Philip, I have to go." She said suddenly, standing up. Ignoring his questions, she walked out the door and headed to Brady's.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~END FLASHBACK~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now, she sat in the car on the way back to the one she knew truly loved her. Sure he as a bit jealous and possessive, but that was only b/c her loved her so much right? I was wrong, she thought. Philip loves me more that Brady ever could. She let the tears fall freely as she dialed Philip's cell phone. (Since everyone has a cell phone no matter how rich or poor you happen to be)
Philip answered.
"Philip..." Chloe said, crying.
"Chloe, what's wrong?"
"Philip, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry I walked out on you. Will you meet me back at my house? We need to talk. I'm sorry. There's nothing to worry about with me and Brady. He's an ass. I realize that now. I love you, Philip. Please."
"Ok. Ok, Calm down babe. I'll be there as soon as I can."
Chloe took a shuddering breath.
"Thank you. I love you, Philip."
"I love you too, Chloe."
Chloe hung up the phone. She still couldn't believe she'd let herself fall for Brady Black's schemes.
"He is no different than the rest, Chloe." She muttered. "Philip is the only one who love you for who you really are."
"S-Sorry to interrupt." she stammered.
She turned and walked out, trying not to let Brady see she was hurt,
