Chloe's POV
It's Tuesday, but school was shut due to the storm forecast. So I get to sleep some extra hours, but it hit me that I had a stranger in my room at night.
Whattt!!!
He wasn't there. He left. Just as he said.
"He left, but why am I sad? Huh, weird you Chloe, shut up and go back to sleep- What is this??" He went away without a goodbye and as much as I detest to admit I felt upset and the fact that I will never get to see him again, made me more upset.But a watch and a paper on my side table was weird. Apparently.
"Tiny tiger thank you so much for letting me stay, I am taking the 'masquerade ball 2013' photo and some cash. Leaving this watch so you can sell it and get the money back. Forget any of this ever happened. Bye. "
I looked at my side table where my violet colored photo frame was kept. Which was empty because the MASKED MAN took the photo in it. But why?
"Uh-huh" I was extremely confused and indignant. I punched my pillow irritably.
"He got hold of the money that I have been saving for like 2 years, ugh that asshole, I hate him" I moaned as I lay on my bed imagining what I would do next.
Why was he in need of money? What is going on with him? He really needed it or else he wouldn't have kept the watch. But why?So many questions, but the answers are none.
'Lets go crazy crazy till we see the sun
I know we only met but let's pretend its lo-'
My phone started ringing and I was sure who it was.
Victoria.
I was certain she wanted some assistance with her assignment or wanted to get out someplace.
"PLEASE PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE COME OVER, I NEED HELP PLEASEEE, MATHS IS DRIVING ME NUTS PLEASE COME OVER" she was literally crying on the phone.See I already knew it.
"Calm down bitch, I am coming" I sighed.
"BRING UR MOMS PANCAKES TOOO PLZZZ" she called once more.
"Mom isn't home, hah no pancakes for me or you" I replied.
"Don't worry, I will ask mom to make something for ya, but come fast and bring your books too, I wanna check my answers" she cheered.
"You wanna copy my answers, not check em, I know you well bitch, I am coming, make sure you feed me or else" I warned her.
"Ok deal bye babes"
"Bye"
I got up lazily.
Changed into a decent top and shorts.
There was a note in the kitchen obviously by mom.
"Sweetie, sorry I came very late couldn't check on you and now also I have to go duty calls, sorry, no pancakes for my baby today, if you go out don't forget the keys"
Love mom.Took the keys and went out thinking about the MASKED MAN WHO STOLE MY MONEY AND A PHOTO.
I decided not to tell anyone about it because if I told my mom, she would never leave me alone in the house and would ask why was I so stupid to let him in. And I definitely would have no reply to that question.
And as for my friends I didn't believe it was a great deal to speak about it. So I thought it would be better to forget about it.Victoria lives down the street so I walked to her house. Even though the distance was small but I got tired because I had an empty stomach.
Before I could knock the door, Jack opened the door and hugged me.
Oh man I love this kid!
Jack is Toris younger brother who loves me more than her sister.
"Chloee you came to playy with meee" he said cheerfully . I couldn't resist picking him up.
He started clapping. Adorable.Remind me why I love kids so much. Because they are cute and I don't have a younger sibling.
Valid point.
I went in and gave Toris mum a hug.
"Breakfast is ready darling, come and eat, " she offered with a great spirit.
I was already hungry so duhh I agreed.
As shortly as I started eating Tori came and hit me on my shoulder.
"Ouchhh. What was that for?" I cried.
"For not even saying hello and for starting breakfast without me, " she replied annoyed-ly.
"Why did you beat her, are you hurt Chlo?" Jack asked me with concern.
He is such a cutie. He is barely 3 but so much better than Tori already.
"Yes Jack I am fine come on now finish your food" I replied."And as for you Tori first eat, then talk." I smirked.
She loves me, I know.
After we finished eating. We helped Toris mom to clean the table and wash the dishes.
We got to her room and well this is the hardest part.
TEACHING HER MATHS.
I went with the easy ones and she already seems uninterested AF.
Yayy motivation.
I slapped on her shoulder to grab her attention.
"What what happened?" She looked confused as hell."Concentrate fucker" I yelled at her.
"Ugh, I hate math please get over with this as soon as possible" she shouted.
"I have always wondered why people bang their heads against brick walls..... Then I met you." I was tired of explaining the same formula again and again.
"At last that was the final one, Jesus explaining math to you is the hardest." I was tired and exhausted.
"Yes, damn I am exhausted, let's watch a movie please" she replied innocently."No way I am watching a cheesy romantic movie with you, I am gonna go play with Jack, and if you don't wanna get bored you can join us too" I teased her.
Ok, so I favor more of comedy, action and adventurous type movies. And well Tori, she is all into romantic ones.
The last time I saw a flick with her was that cheesy twilight movie.
Where Bella was a creepy girl who would just stare the heck out of you.
And well Edward he was whiter than a fucking tube light.
It was definitely the last time I had let her pick the movie.Playing with Jack is always the best part. After I finished playing with Jack, my mom came and as I was about to leave I heard Tori "Do you have to leave so soon? I was just about to poison the tea." She was definitely annoyed because I played with Jack instead of catching a film with her.
"Dumbass" was my response.
"Language young lady" my mom said angrily.
"Sorry mom" I responded promptly.
Tori gave me a triumphant smirk.
"Bitch, " I murmured with an eye roll.
Mom only passed me a death glare and it means it's time to seal my lips.
I passed the whole day at her place and I desired to stick around a bit longer, but my mom was back from the hospital. So it was time to go home.
After dinner, mom and I cleaned the table and I offered to wash the dishes because she seemed exhausted.
Jesus, my room was a mess as always but I was in no mood of cleaning it anyway. So, whatsoever. So I decided to go to sleep. And in just a moment of time I was fading away.
