Where Are You Now?

The Disaster Party

Chapter 42

Michelle's P.O.V

I wait for my mother with Chloe once school is finished and I haven't got my phone yet. Neither Zack nor Josh came today and I only saw Austin and George for a few minutes on lunch time and couldn't catch up with them since Chloe was around.

I honestly have no clue what to tell my mother especially that we're taking Chloe with us.

"Chloe if my mother asks you about my phone tell her I forgot it at you house last night and it's still there." I tell her without having any eye contact.

"Okay... Why? Where is it?" She asks looking at me while we are waiting for my mother to come.

"I broke it and Zack took it in order to fix it but he didn't come today." I tell her frustrated wishing he had just came for a few seconds and brought it to me.

"Okay." She says raising her eyebrows and before she could say anything else I hear my mother's car horn.

"Come on." I tell her smiling and walk to the car. I open the door and my heart drops once I see John in it. He looks better than ever and of course cheerful as always.

"John. Why you didn't tell me you were coming?" I ask hugging him tightly once he leaves the car. "Well, I tried calling you but your phone was closed." He says hugging me back.

"She forgot it at my house." Chloe jumps and I give her a small thank you smile.

"Well, that explains it." He says smiling and hugging Chloe too. I know they met before when he came to hospital and I'm really glad that they did.

"How long are you staying?" I ask him hoping it's not just for a few days. "Ah... for a week." He says running his fingers through his hair.

"A week! Perfect." I tell him clapping my hands cheerfully which makes him smile. "Come on. Enough chit-chat get in all of you." I hear my mother's voice from the car and we all get in.

"John is staying with us the entire week." My mother informs me which draws a smile on my face. "Great." I say looking at him smiling.

We make sure Chloe gets home before reaching our house after only a ten - minute drive and both John and I rush upstairs to my room.

"So here's my room." I tell him laughing before I open the door pretending to be doing a house tour.

I enter the room before him to find a glamorous dress on my bed. It's a long sleeveless dark green dress that has some gold on it which makes it look elegant. "Really nice room." John says laughing at my reaction.

"This isn't mine." I tell him and rush downstairs to ask my mother where did this come from hoping this isn't just for another fancy party with her friends.

"Mother?" I call looking for her and I hear her voice from the leaving room. "Mother... where did the dress come from?" I ask her without caring who she's talking to on the phone.

"Aha. One second. Michelle we have a party tonight and Robert brought it to you." She tells me and continues talking on the phone.

This is frustrating I didn't bring all of my fancy dresses here so that I wouldn't be forced to go to these kinds of parties.

"So?" John asks once I enter the room. "It's from Robert." I say lifting the dress and placing it in my closet. "Robert?" He asks once he sits on my bed and I remember that I haven't told him anything at all.

"Yes, he's this rich and fancy guy that my mother likes." I say angrily but immediately regret it once I remind myself how kind and gentle he is.

"I can see." He says watching me while I try to fit the dress in the closet. "He's a good guy but I don't get why he had to do this." I say defending him.
