Chloe's POV:
"JOSH?!" Paige shrieks. She's walks straight into the middle of a make-out scene.
I feel Josh's lips leave mine and my heart drops. It felt so good to be loved. It made me feel like cutting wasn't the answer.
Josh's face flushes and he doesn't look me in the eye.
"What were you doing?!" Paige screams.
Josh scratches the back of his head and flushes even more, "What did it look like we were doing?" He jokes.
"What about Maddie?" His sister gawks.
"Uh-" Josh starts. "-And Chloe! What about Brandon?"
I slide my wrists carefully behind my back - there's nothing to cover them now that I've changed to a tank top.
I take a deep breath, "He broke up with me."
"Oh, that explains a lot!" Paige says carelessly. "Brandon called me and asked me to come over."
I flinch. He's moved on, and it hurts more than my cuts.
Then I feel Josh's hand reach behind my back. He squeezes my hand. "Who cares what that loser does? You're much to good for him. You both are." Josh retorts.
Paige and I smile at each other, but she grabs her purse.
"I'll leave you too to... Whatever it was you weren't doing." She winks at us and flounces out.
Josh and I just stare at each other, blushing.
Then we both break our gaze. I can't look him in the eye. We're awful people.
Josh stands up and takes a moment to sigh before grabbing his keys, "I uh, I think I have to-"
I nod. Maddie.
Now I stand up and wipe my sweaty palms on my shorts to walk Josh to the door. "Bye."
"Bye Chlo." He says and hustles out of the house without looking back.
I turn and walk back to the couch and slowly sit down.
That just happened.
We were best friends for the longest time. We can pretend it didn't happen right?
It was bound to happen eventually.
But if Maddie find out, all of heck is going to break loose.
