Forgotten (AU) (completed but unedited)

[33] Can I explain myself?

"Paitynn is in rehab but what Chloe is doing will blow your mind!" I read the name of the article almost one hundred times.

"Chloe was recently found making out with a guy. Although we all know they aren't together anymore, the fact she had sex with him might be a little upsetting."

After reading that paragraph for the fifth time tonight, I read the next paragraph.

"Not only that, but her nudes were leaked!" I read that sentence over and over before scrolling down which revealed the photo that was leaked.

The sound of a door opening and shutting echoes through the house. Footsteps quickly echoed after that but I kept my eyes down.

"Im sorry." Her words are quickly recognized as Chloe.

I stand up and wipe my tears. "Go away." My voice hardens as I take a step back from her.

"I was doing this for you. I recovered for you, and in return you go and fuck someone." I dont give her time to talk.

"Not only that but you send guys nudes." I fakely laugh. "Thanks."

"Paitynn I-" I cut her off. "Dont even try. I'll be sleeping in Demis room tonight." I grab my phone and run up the stairs.

Why is it bothering me that bad? We weren't together. Its not like we were dating at the time.

But, it took her two weeks to get over me. We've been together almost two years and it takes her two weeks to get over me.

Maybe that's why it hurts. I wanted her more than ever while she was fucking guys. Maybe that's why I'm so upset.

But maybe I'm overreacting, maybe she had another reason..? Whatever, either way what she did was pretty uncalled for. 

. . . 

"Hey, babygirl. Wake up." A soft voice whispers and touches my side. My eyes flutter and I sit up. "You fell asleep in my room. I was gonna crawl in with you." Demi smiles before walking over to the other side of the bed and sitting on it.

"Why didn't you sleep in your room?" Demi asks. Memories from last night flood through my mind, I hate feeling the way I did. Used up, worthless, the way I felt before rehab and I never want to feel like that again. 

"Chloe and I got in an argument and your bed is comfy."  I smile and look down.  "What time is it?" I ask noticing Demi had been home longer seeing she was in sweats and a tee shirt. 

"8am." Demi shrugs. "So you fucked and fled?" I ask and smile at her. She playfully hits my arm and laughs. "No!" She laughs. 

"I left a note." She laughs even harder and I laugh. "Thats still fucking and fleeing!" I laugh. I bite my lip to make myself stop laughing shortly after she stopped.

"Can I sleep in here with you tonight?" I ask looking down at my lap. Demi looks at me before looking down and smiling. 

"Yeah, of course." She looks back at me and I smile before looking at her. "Thanks." I whisper.  "The fight must of been pretty bad." Demi whispers and I nod. 

"She hasn't even explained herself." I shrug and sink into the bed. "You didn't let her or she didn't want to?" She asks. 

"I didn't let her. I was gonna blow up and say things I didn't mean." I whisper.

"Hey." Demi changes the subject when she sees my eyes tearing up. "Yeah?" I ask and sit back up.

"They don't wake up until like 12:00. Wanna go to breakfast together?!" Demi smiles and I nod. "Yeah. I'd love to." I smile back.
