So Close to Your Confession ✔

Ch 7 - Goodnight.

\m/

Chloe's POV

My eyes are glued on him and only him. Ashton left my mind, I'm only focusing on the back if his head. He's here, without telling me somehow.

How could he betray me like that?

"Luke!" I yell, running to him as he turns around, eyes widening.

"Chloe? Oh my god, no this wasn't supposed to happen!" He says as I hug him tightly missing his warm embrace.

"Get off please Chloe, this wasn't supposed to happen!" He pries me off him, running out the door, leaving me with tears running down my cheeks, leaving a trail of mascara.

He left me, again.

\m/

I lay under the covers on my bed, Ashton rubbing my back lightly with his fingertips.

"I can't believe he would just leave like that. He didn't explain why he left in the first place, and now he won't even tell me why he can't be friends with me anymore? Talk to me anymore? Even look at me... anymore." I say, no tears coming out, drained.

"Don't be sad, Chloe. Maybe it wasn't it him?"

"You saw him, right?" I ask, wondering if it was all a hallucination.

"Chloe, to be honest, you were hugging some random dude." Ashton says, pulling me closer to him, rubbing my back.

"What? It wasn't Luke?"

"No."

"I miss him, Ash, I do."

"I know, and I'm sorry he can't be here."

I don't talk after this. I miss him too much that I'm hallucinating that random people are him.

"Just, get some rest Chloe. You need it." Ashton kisses the side of my cheek, tucking me in bed.

"Night."

"Goodnight." He smiles, his fingers grazing my jawline before closing my door, leaving me in pitch blackness.

Goodnight.

I wake up, the sun shining through my windows blinds. I rub my eyes, as my mom walks into my room.

"Knock please." I say, half awake.

"Whatever, someone is on the phone for you, go get it." She yawns, closing my door.

I run downstairs, eager to know who.

I grab the phone, fully awake now.

"Hello?" I say, out of breath.

His voices calms me, "Hey, I just want to say, I miss you."

"I miss you too, see me soon?"

"Most definitely." He hangs up, and I check another date off the calendar leading to July 16.

"Who was on the phone?" My mom asks.

"No one important."

"Alright. Oh Ashton wanted to hang out with you today. I really like him, more than that Luke kid." She says, knowing she's getting a ride out of me.

She's not getting one.

"Oh, yeah me too. Luke was too clingy."

"Looks like someone moved on fast."

"Totally." Not.

"I'm going to get ready for Ashton now." I walk up the stairs, wondering what I should wear.

\m/

I finally decide on my jean flannel with no sleeves, and my coral jeans. I search through my mom's jewelry, finding the perfect coral necklace and earrings to match. I put those on, tying the knot in my flannel. I go back to my room, finding my brown fuzzy type boots slipping those on, applying some nude lip color and a simple wing design on my eyelids. Finally, I grab my white satchel and spray some Daisy perfume by Marc Jacobs, ready to go.

I text Ashton.

Me: Hey I'm ready whenever you are to go out.

Ashton: Awesome! I'm guessing your mom told you?

Me: Haha yeah.

Ashton: Be there in 5, see ya soon.

Me: see ya.

I shove my phone in my back pocket checking to make sure I have everything. I fix my hair before we go, leaving it down with a pretty design.

"I'm leaving! Bye mom!" I yell, closing the front door, waiting outside for Ashton to arrive.

He finally pulls up, "Sorry it was like 10 minutes, mom gave me a lecture about wearing a bad word on my shirt." He rolls his eyes, opening the door so I can get in.

"Thank, and oh my god my mom does that all the time. She says I dress like a slut." I chuckle.

"Well, I see no skin." He smiles, speeding off ready to hang out.

Right with ya, Ash.
