Precious Dreams (Sequel to High Hopes//Chris Motionless)

570

Chris POV

I get to the hotel and throw my bags wherever. What should I do now? Besides the band, I have nothing else left for my to live for. My heart is aching and it sucks that I can't do anything to fix it. Woman like her don't belong with guys like me. Look at her, then look at me.

I wish I could just forgive her, but its not that easy. Its not healthy to stay with someone who cheated on you more than once. You give them another chance and that's that. It up to them to take charge of and show their partner that they love them.

Arabella was the love of my life, hell she still it. I'd still do anything for her. Why did she have to fuck it up? No one, not anyone can make me love them like I loved her.

I snap myself from my thoughts as my tiredness began to takeover. After taking a quick shower, I get to bed and attempt to sleep the up and coming depression off.

Arabella POV

I haven't texted Chris since the day he left. Thats what he wants. I have get to work, I don't have the time mope around all day, I have to work.

I make my way down to work rubbing my tired eyes. Klaus kept looking at me with sad eyes. He must've known what was up and that I looked off.

"You wanna tell me why you look so down, Buttercup?"

"You wouldn't understand. But anyway, are they here again?"

"Yeah, they're here for the single shoots today,"

"Where's Andy?"

"Who?"

"The tall one with blue eyes?"

"He's down the hall by the Swan Fountain. I think he's still there..."

I hastily make my way over to the fountain. He faces me and smiles. "Hey, what's--"

"Chris left me. He left me and it's all your fault. He was going to ask me to be his wife and there's no chance for that anymore,"

"How is this all my fault? It takes two to tango. Don't put this all on me. I'm sorry he left you but it not all my fault,"

I hang my head low. "I'm sorry, I just, I wish it hadn't have happened. I wish I never met you, I wish we haven't dated. I just wish you were never in my life,"

He lifts my head by my chin. "Do you really feel that way?"

"I do,"

"Wow, I--I had no idea. So there's absolutely nothing I can do to better your feelings about me? I'm sorry, Bells, I really am,"

"There's nothing you can do to change how I feel. It would be best if we never saw each other again,"

"If that's what you want..." he huffs. "I guess I'll go now,"

He starts to leave and head to my office, procrastinating and being a bad mood all day. I noticed people were letting me be today, knowing I wasn't myself because of the way I walked into work this morning. Eventually, I leave work and make my way home.

I feed Shep and go to bed. Before I got the chance to close my eyes, my phone goes off.

+9579347767: Hey its Jake :) I was wondering if we could talk tomorrow the band and I leaves tomorrow if that's okay with you

Me: Yeah that's fine, where should I meet u and what time?

+9579347767: At Nandos around noon, I'll buy, its on me

Me: Okay great

+9579347767: Cool, see you then

Before I snuggle into my sheets, I plug my phone up and fall asleep.

"Hey, sorry I'm a little late," I greet Jake with a smile and hug him. "My manicure ran late and I made the lady give me a different number,"

"Nah, its no problem. Your nails look great,"

I smile. "Thank you. So whats up? What led you to want to treat me to lunch?"

He scoots his chair near the table a bit closer. "Well, it's about Andy--"

"Nope," I shake my head, preparing to get up dark my seat. "I'm not--I'm done with him. I don't want to hear anything--"

"No, please sit. It's not like that. You both think that you guy slept together which didn't happen at all,"

I sit back down propping my elbows onto the table. "Go on,"

"Okay, so, I remember seeing you and Andy making a whole lot of dares and bets for money. Long story short, the bet was to see who could get naked the quickest. Maybe it was truth or dare, but I don't know what the rules were or how the game went cause you guys were drunk off your ass but, that's what happened. You and Andy did not sleep together and he wanted me to tell you this because he knew that you wouldn't dare talk to him again,"

"So, we didn't have sex?"

"No," he replies.

I lean back in my seat crossing my arms and legs. "Okay so do you think that Chris will believe me?"

"If he doesn't you can call me up and I'll tell him everything myself,"

I nod thinking of what to do. My only option here is to go to Scranton. The only problem is that I don't know where he lives. Devin probably knows.

"Alright, it's a plan," I smile with a nervous laugh. "It's crazy though because he was going to propose to me but I don't know if he was going to that day,"

"No way! What would you have said?"

"Even though it's a bit early, I would've said yes because I love him and there isn't anyone else that I would want to be with. He perfect for me, he's my dream guy,"

We get our food then Jake had a flight back home. I couldn't thank him enough. I could get my man back and nothing was going to stop me....until I ask to call off work for a week. They threatened to fire me.

So this is what happened...

I walked into work, luggage already in my car and I was ready for my flight in the next three hours.

My boss saw that I wasn't in my usual formal business wear.

"Hey, boss--"

"Stop," he interrupted me. "Go home and change your clothes. That it prohibited and I let Klaus, Adam and yourself get away with it too easily when you all were called in for the photoshoot,"

"Yes but I can't change my clothes--"

"Why is that?"

"I have a flight in 3 hours..."

"A flight? To where? To your next client? This is not the time for vacation, Arabella,"

"Yes but this is urgent,"

He sighs. "Okay leave, but when you get back, don't expect to have this job anymore. I'm very disappointed in you, you're one of the best Art Directors in here in the state of New York,"

"If I'm one of the best, why would you want to get rid of me. And besides, it's only for a week," I shrug beginning to walk away.

"You leave out of here and you're done for, you hear me?"

"Loud and clear, sir,"

I go and say goodbye to Klaus. "Are you sure you want to do this, Bells?"

"Yes, I love him. I don't care what I have to do to get him back,"

"That's my girl,"

I give him one last hug before driving off to the airport. Hopefully all goes well...
