Especially you

Chloe was mine, and so was Halloween.

Chapter 7. "Chloe was mine, and so was Halloween"

It was the night before Halloween, the wind was whining in the windows and the fallen leaves flew along in the wind.

Chloe and I stood in the kitchen, blasting music and baking Halloween themed cupcakes. Chloe had bought us matching pajamas, mine was red and her was blue. Our favorite colors.

We didn't talk about the night after mine and Uma's long heart to heart. And I didn't tell her about arguing with Anastasia. It was slowly killing me, having to hide all those feelings. I was too scared to tell sweet Chloe about her wreck as "girlfriend". I still wondered when we would make it official.

Would she leave me if I told her about Anastasia? I didn't think she would, she had no reason. But she would be disappointed, and I couldn't stand that either.

To add to that, I couldn't ask her about the wired texts she was getting. Ever since she was sick, the day Anastasia showed up here she had been typing annoyed on her phone, at least once a day.

She actually didn't even react to Anastasia being here. When we saw her in class she just ignored it, like she didn't exist. She didn't talk about it, I didn't talk about it either. She probably didn't want to upset me, she probably sensed that the subject was hurting me. Ever since I asked what Anastasia's name was.

But I couldn't stop obsessing over Anastasia. I stared at her in class, for way too long, I felt like maybe, maybe she would disappear if I looked long enough with by brows furrowed. Maybe it was all a dream and she never transferred.

I tried to remember what Uma said, that once maybe she was in need of Chloe's big heart, to get on with life. I don't know if that was true, and it actually didn't give me much peace of mind. Chloe was mine.

- Baby can you pass me the butter please? Chloe asked in her nice warming tone, filling my body with butterflies.
- Sure Bluey, I answered while taking the butter and walking over to her. I placed the butter in front of her, and she started mixing the ingredients.

I stood behind her, wrapping my hands around her tiny body. She smelled so good, she smelled like home, she smelled like Chloe. My Chloe.

I helped her mix the dough and we put the cupcakes in the oven. I took some flour and threw a small amount in Chloe's face, and I burst out laughing.

She stood there, annoyed with the action before she took a handful herself and threw at me.

- oh you wait honey, IT'S ON! I yelled running after her with the whole bag of flour.

-

THE NIGHT OF HALLOWEEN.

Chloe and I was getting ready to go out to the schools big Halloween event. It was a big carnival that the school arranged every year.

We went out hand in hand, and we didn't care. We stopped caring a long time ago.

It was like in a movie, there was people everywhere and candles lit up along the way. The smell of fall and candy flew through the air. It was chilly, and I shivered.

- You cold red? Chloe asked, while she stopped for a second.
- Yeah, kinda. Wrapping my hands around me.
- Here, take my jacket, she placed it on my shoulders and I was filled with love. It smelled like Chloe, and I couldn't get enough.
- Aren't you getting cold now, I don't want you to get sick again Chlo?
- I'm good Love, take it.

I smiled and took her hand, and we walked through the festival with our hands intertwined. We stopped and talked to a bunch of our friends, and we played a few games. Chloe won one of them and handed me a stuffed animal that was the first price. It was a pink rabbit, with sparkling blue eyes.

- What are you gonna name it? Chloe asked, kissing my cheek.
- Princess. I said, proudly petting the pink fur.
- Cute, Chloe said pulling me into a hug.

A while later Chloe dragged me to the stage, she claimed she had a surprise.

Suddenly a screen was lit, and letters were formed. The whole crowd started reading slowly.

- R-e-d w-i-l-l y-o-u b-e m-y g-i-r-l-f-r-i-e-n-d-?

The whole crowd turned around cheering on, I looked at Chloe in confusion.

- Will you? Be my girlfriend? She chuckled.

- WHATTAFUCK CHLOE WHAT IS THIS?? I yelled in confusion.

- Will you be my girlfriend? She asked again.

- Yes obviously I will, I said and a tear fell down my cheek.

I kissed her, i kissed her like I've never kissed before. The whole crowd was applauding and fireworks were released into the air. My heart was racing. What did just happen?

Chloe and i went for a walk about an hour later, I needed to calm down. I was still on cloud nine. I had so many questions, how did she pull this off?

- I have my ways, she smirks and looks at me.

- Isn't it funny how our anniversary is going to be Halloween? I ask, holding on to princess in one hand and Chloe in the other.

- Yeah that's kind of funny, and scary, Chloe laughed.

Chloe was mine, and so was Halloween. It was ours.

Suddenly we heard movement in the bushes. Chloe stopped me, and held one hand in front of me so I couldn't go any longer. I saw the panic I her eyes. We were in the woods, and it was dark. Suddenly something jumped out the bushes, and let me tell you. This moment changed me forever.
