Behind Closed Doors

Chapter 11

After awhile, Bella was starting to feel less hurt but she still was. It has been a few weeks and she was starting to get use to being alone even though it was not easy. Chris was still with the girl he cheated on Bella with which was still hurting her. Bella still couldn't understand why would he get rid of someone he was with for 2 years for someone he just started dating a few months ago. Bella was tired of being hurt so she decided it was time for a change.
Bella decided to cut her hair above her shoulders and everyone loved it so much. She was getting compliments after compliments which made her like her hairstyle even more. Once she cut her hair she woke up in the middle of the night to Chris liking her Instagram pictures. She just shook her head and fell back asleep. Once she woke back up, she woke up to a long paragraph from Chris.
It read "I've been wanting to send this to you for the longest but my pride was in the way. I can't believe  I did that to the girl that was there for me when nobody else was. I messed up with the only girl I ever loved and I can't get you off my mind for some reason. I try so hard but it doesn't work, I miss you like crazy and I just need to know if you miss me too". Bella couldn't believe he sent something like that. She has been waiting on an apology for the longest. She thought it was nice that he sent that so her response was "thank you". Chris really wanted to know if she missed him too so he asked "So you don't miss me?" Bella wasn't about to lie so she told him she does.
Chris was shocked because he wasn't expecting her to miss him too. Even though Bella did miss him she told him that doesn't mean she want him back. After Chris hearing that, it broke him. He can't believe he lost Bella for good. Bella told him it was best for him to just be happy with his girl and leave her alone.
     Chris wasn't happy with her because he really missed Bella and couldn't get her off his mind. Bella wanted Chris back so bad but she can't keep hurting herself just because she love him so much, she had to let him go. It's hurting her so much but she just can't do it anymore, it had to be done. Chris keeps trying to convince her that once prom is over he's getting rid of his other girlfriend so he can get Bella back. Bella isn't buying it but she decided to just play along.
     Bella told Chris "ok but once prom is over you better get rid of her". That made him really happy and he said ok. They continued their conversation and Chris was acting like everything is back to how it was but Bella wasn't really feeling it right now. Bella had to tell Chris to slow down and stop acting like her boyfriend because he wasn't anymore. That kind of hurt him inside but he understood.
Bella was packing to go to North Carolina because her stepdad's brother daughter was getting married. Chris wanted to see her before she left but Bella wasn't really feeling it because knowing he's still with the girl is killing her. Chris prom was also that weekend so she knew she was barely going to be speaking to him because he's going to be busy. Bella is so confused with life more than she should be. She know she shouldn't still be speaking to Chris but she can't help it because that's who she's use to talking to all day everyday.
It was taking Bella forever to pack because she didn't know what to wear even though she was coming back Sunday. There was no way she could think straight about anything at the moment because her life is a complete mess. Bella can't believe all of this is happening to her. She's trying to figure out why does all the bad happen to the good. She decided to finish packing in the morning before she leave and just go to bed to clear her head.
