Scared to love

Chloë's POV

This whole thing definitely pushed some sort of button in Valeries system because she seems much less drunk now. She's sitting on her chair with her arms crossed while glaring at the three of us. "I don't see the big deal in all this", Matthew states with an annoyed tone in his voice. "You guys act like we're children or something and you're our parents, but can I remind you that most of us here graduate college in like two months?", he adds. "You could've let us know, we might've been able to help you move or something", Dakota responds. "Chloë was the one with the most stuff and she only had six boxes. We also all moved in on a different moment, do you really think we need about like six people to move in three boxes?", Jake retorts. "So who is she sleeping with?", Trent asks with a smirk on his face while nodding his head to me. "Certainly not with you", Matthew snarls. "I have my own room, thank you very much. We each have our own room", I reply. "I bet she doesn't even pay anything, she's too broke. I mean look at her outfit, she always wears those rags", Valerie states while looking me up and down. 

I see Jake and Matthew clench their fist and I shake my head at them. "Well at least I don't keep sucking some dudes small dick while pretending to love it like you do", I shoot back at Valerie. Both Trent and Valerie their faces turn red. "I've got to say it, thanks Valerie, from taking the scumbag away from me. My life is so much better now that he's gone", I sweetly say. "You weren't that good", Trent says. "Oh so that's why you asked me to give you another blowjob some time ago? Because I'm not good?", I ask him. He mumbles something that I can't understand before drinking his beer bottle empty. "You're a bitch", Valerie says. "Thanks", I reply, "It's my best side." This pisses her off even more, and makes me feel even better knowing I got under her skin. "Oh I'm sorry did you mean to insult me? Well you need to be more creative, I've heard every insult in the book you know. But who knows maybe you find something I haven't heard before", I add. Everybody in the room is quiet at this point until Trent raises the volume of the music that was playing in the background. 

Everyone that was there takes it a sign to start drinking again. Matthew, Jake and I share a look before they also grab something to drink. Suddenly Valerie goes to Jake and sits down in his lap. "Hey Jakey, why don't you respond to my messages?", she asks with a childish voice and pouty lips. He looks uncomfortable with her there so close to his face. "I don't know what you're talking about, but you're drunk and you have a boyfriend, you shouldn't be doing this", he responds as he tries to get her away from him. "I can see that you read them. You've read every single one of them, why don't you take some time to respond to one?", she sulks. "Yo Trent look at your girlfriend man she's harassing someone", Matthew yells over the music. "I'm not harassing him!", Valerie yells as she gets up. Jake sees his chance to escape and walks away from her to sit down on the armrest of the couch where I'm sitting. In the meantime Valerie keeps shouting at Matthew that he has to take his words back while Trent tries to calm her down. 

"Don't you think you're taking it too far?", Dakota asks when he comes to us. "What are you talking about now?", Jake sighs. "The whole Valerie thing, she's clearly interested, you should give her a chance", Dakota responds. "I'm going to tell you the same thing I told her. She's drunk, she has a boyfriend and I'm not interested in her", Jake growls. "They're not that serious", Dakota answers. "Oh so you want me to be a homewrecker? Besides you're all making a big thing about the three of us moving in together but you also didn't tell us that you started dating Alice", Jake shoots back. Dakota's face turns white. "How do you know?", he asks. "Because I'm not stupid. So it looks like we both didn't tell the other everything", Jake says. Dakota sighs in defeat and walks back to Alice. "Have they always been this annoying?", Matthew asks when he comes sit on the other armrest. "Give them some slack, they're all drunk already", I respond. "I hope that you don't mind that I'm drinking alcohol?", he asks me. "Go crazy, just don't do stupid things", I reply.
