Behind Closed Doors

Chapter 6

A month later Bella didn't really move on but she was starting to let him go a little more even though she thought about him all day everyday. Chris didn't like for Bella to be out doing her own thing even if they weren't in a relationship, he like to feel in control of her. On the 4th of July Bella went out to have fun with all of her friends but Chris wasn't feeling that. He was out with his friends but went off on Bella for things he was assuming.
Bella wasn't feeling that at all because he was out going to a lot of kickbacks and was smoking but she couldn't do that. Chris was just worried somebody was going to take her from him for good even though he was the one who left her. After their argument they stopped talking again, Bella was really getting sick of it. She was tired of feeling down and sad all the time over somebody who wasn't sad over her. She finally realized she has had enough and was just going to give up on them.
The next day Bella was on Instagram and a guy messaged her because he thought she was really pretty. Since her and Chris were not together anymore, she gave him her number. The guy she met was named Eric. Bella didn't really think much of it since she just got out of a 7 month relationship with someone she still cares about.
     Eric would say little cute pick up lines to make Bella smile a lot, he was making her forget all about Chris. She told him everything that recently happened with her and he told her she had nothing to worry about if she was to talk to him, he was different. Bella didn't buy any of that because after Chris she didn't trust anybody, she just went alone with it. Bella was too afraid to even like anybody else so she did everything she could to stop that. With Eric always Face Timing her every night and falling asleep on the phone together, he was making it hard for her not to like him.
     Eric made Bella his screensaver on his phone and would call her beautiful everyday. They even gave each other their Twitter password, Eric told her he had nothing to hide and he didn't. After that, Bella really started to fall for him, she was finally happy again. When Chris saw Eric tweet off her account, he lost it. Chris could not believe his eyes, he actually saw Bella giving someone else her attention.
Bella woke up from her nap to a paragraph from Chris, it read "I can't believe you're giving somebody else your attention. You can delete my number out your phone and forget about me since you already have, you never loved me by moving on so fast, when I tell you I got you I mean that. Right when I was about to come back I see you flirting with somebody else". That text didn't make sense to Bella since he's the one who left her and was flirting with everybody. Bella told Chris he wasn't worried about her until he saw someone else had her attention, which is true. Chris kept trying to tell her that he love her so much and can't see her with anybody else but him, "I want you to be my girl again" said Chris. Bella said yes so fast because that's what she's been waiting to hear again all summer.
Bella got a little too happy and forgot she was already talking to Eric. She didn't know what to do and became so confused. She quickly called her best friend Tiffany for some help. Bella told Tiffany to tell Eric she got back with her ex because she just didn't have the guts to do it, she felt so bad. Eric really felt some type of way because he has such strong feelings for Bella.
A few weeks later Bella realized she made a mistake by letting Eric go, she started to miss him so much. She realized she made a mistake because she noticed Chris was still flirting with other girls and only asked her back out because he didn't want anybody else to have her. Bella knew she messed up so she had to end it with Chris for good. It hurt Bella so much to break up with because she loved him so much but she knew that's what was best and only fair for her feelings. She cried the whole time while breaking up with Chris because she didn't have a choice.
