Life changes ( sequel to love never dies )

○16○

This last week I've been spending a lot of time with Serena and her friends. I got to know Nate, Dan, Blair, and Chuck a lot better. I can't say I agree with everything but I do feel like I'm a part of their group. They call themselves the non-judging breakfast club and they're always standing up for one another. I'm glad they wanted me to be a part of their group since I lost the Bella's.

Last week I talked to Nina and hugged Chloe. I haven't done that in months and it felt great. I haven't told Serena about our night, about the way I thought about Chloe when Serena made me feel again. I'm not sure if I should tell her. I don't want to hurt her feelings. I know what it feels like when your heart breaks and it's not a great feeling. Serena has been nothing but supportive of me. Holding me whenever I needed someone. She reassures me when I cry and just loves me. I can't ask more of her.

I missed Chloe so much and I lost her. She's in a relationship with Chicago. I can never ruin a relationship. I stand up and walk to my desk, where I have been hiding the ring Chloe brought with her on the ship. I open the small box and put the ring on my finger. I hold my hand out, watching my finger. It feels right to wear the ring but it's never going to happen. Chloe's already married.

I sigh as I remove the ring and put it back in the little box. All my future plans that I imagined are gone. I never saw my future without Chloe in it, but maybe my future can be with Serena?

,,Beca? Are you alright?" Serena comes into my room and I quickly put the ring back into its hiding place.

,,Yeah." I say and turn around. ,,I just try to figure everything out."

,,Can I help?" And that's exactly what I mean. Serena has nothing to do with what happened and she's willing to help me figure it out.

,,You already helping me by staying over and just spending time with me." Serena smiles.

,,Of course. I love you, silly." She sits down on my bed. ,,Now, tell me what you found out about everything that happened."

,,Well, everything Mrs. Fuller said is true. Wyatt has been lying to me. I asked him to tell me the truth, but he chose to deny everything."

,,So you have to see the footage? You can't be mad without evidence."

,,You've got a point and I will. Nina told me about that night when Chloe had sex with Chicago. The more I learn about that night, the more I doubt Stacie's story."

,,You doubt if Stacie told you the truth?" I nod. ,,If you think she lied to you, maybe you should confront her about it."

,,I know, but first I need to talk to Kara again. Nina told me that she found out about the islands but when I asked Kara about everything, she never mentioned that part."

,,So who do you want to talk to first?"

,,I think it's important that I see the footage. I need to know what Wyatt did, so I can confront him. After that, I'm going to talk to Kara again."

,,You're saving Stacie for last. Good idea, because I think if she lied, she will keep lying." I nod.

,,You're right. Do you want to come with me? I kinda need you."

,,Of course. Let me get my coat." Serena stands up and gets ready to go with me to Mrs. Fuller.

We're back home after an hour or two. I have the footage because Mrs. Fuller always has backups, but she couldn't show them herself because she had to go. I look at the files and put them into my laptop while Serena takes a seat next to me. My laptop recognizes the USB stick immediately and asks what I want to do. I click on open and see a few videos. I decide to play them in the order that I see them. First, the screen is black but then I see the diner. I see Mrs. Fuller and other employees before I see Chloe. She carries some plates on her arm and serves some customers. I can see some drunk guys trying to hit on Chloe, which makes me angry. I don't know why.
