chapter 37

Chanel POV
The next day we packed up my loft and called the movers. We got into my car and started driving.
•••1 week later•••
After driving for forever, We got to the House. i parked and stared at the door. Caroline grabbed my hand,
"Please." I sighed and opened the car door. I knocked on the door and it was thrown open by Andrea.
"omg Caroline! Don't EVER do that again!" Andrea picked her up then she looked at me. She set down Caroline who bound into the house joyfully. Andrea came up to me and slapped me(Andrea is a total badass mom). I winced and held my cheek, "YOU LEFT?!? YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE HERE FOR US, FOR CAROLINE!!! " I turned away and ran to my car. I started the engine and signaled the mover to follow me. The last thing I saw as I turned away was Caroline being held back by her mother. I drove to my old house with Hailey since we still owned it. It was vacant cause Hailey was nowhere to be seen. The movers helped me move my stuff in , I paid them, & they left. I sat in the living room and looked at all the old furniture , I made so many memories here and we joined a tour. That tour made our lives better & worse at the same time. I sighed and walked to our private beach. I sat on the sand and breathed in. The calmness, the sea, and the sunset. I heard tires squeal so I ran to the house and saw 5 cars parked outside. I locked every door and shut every window. I turned off all the lights and the tv. I slid down the wall and hear them banging on the wall. The door got kicked in and I didn't even flinch. "Well heya there old bullies." They looked at me and tried walking towards me. I chuckled, "Get out , right now."
I saw Tristen push to the front. "DON'T EVER LEAVE WITHOUT SAYING GOODBYE! YOU DIDNT LEAVE A NOTE, DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH PAIN YOU PUT ME THROUGH, US ALL THROUGH THESE PAST 5 YEARS, WHAT ABOUT CAROLINE??? SHE GREW UP WITHOUT YOU, YOU MISSED HER FIRST WORDS, HER FIRST STEPS!! I hope you feel terrible cause I loved you and now all I see is a girl who runs from her problems, a girl who puts up walls to all the men who dare fall in love with her."
I walked up to him and tried slapping him but he caught my arm. He shoved me down and I looked at the other guys who looked hurt but did nothing. I connected eyes with Wren who had no expression at all. They all piled out and I sat there looking after them. Everything Tristen said was right, I run from my problems, I put up walls. My phone rang and I saw it was Ricky so I declined. I stood up and walked to the bathroom. I stared in the mirror and sighed. Change is good. I grabbed my purse and shoes and drove to the nearest salon. I got it dyed blonde and it looked good actually. I bought new clothes and ordered new furniture for the house. I got home and saw the furniture dudes taking out my old furniture . After they were done I sat in my empty living room and ate pizza. I changed my number and I was done.
Then next week, was tiring. My new furniture arrived and I set up all the rooms. I covered the furniture with huge clothes. I went out and bought a lot of paint. I decided to paint the living room red, the kitchen white and black, The 2 guest bedroom would be plain white and black coloring, and my room would be red black and white. Every other room was white. I slept in the living room while the rooms were drying. My house was finished. I contacted my manager and asked her if I still had a job and she said of course. I had one more thing to do on my list. I drove to go see Caroline, I hesitantly knocked on the door. Kian opened up and embraced me in a big hug. I smiled and hugged back, "Can I see my niece?" He smiled and nodded, he began to lead me to her room until Andre stopped me. "Im sorry I was angry. I just I missed you so much." I hugged her . She knew I forgave her. I knocked on Caroline's door and she opened. She looked up at me and threw herself into my arms. I smiled and hugged her. We talked for hours until she fell asleep. I tiptoed out of her room . I walked downstairs and started to leave when I heard the 2 voices that made me stop in my tracks. "Chanel!"
I turned to see JC and Ricky. I just turned back around and walked to my car. I saw Sawyer getting out of his car . He stopped and looked at me. I looked away and got into the car. I turned it on and looked in the mirror. I saw Sawyer staring right back at me. I drove as fast as I could. He confessed his love for me then I ran away from him and all this. I forced myself to not cry . Im so done with crying, cause crying means that I have pain. And I don't want anymore pain.
