Chapter 6

Hey Guys! I had the perfect idea for an update, so enjoy!

I sat curled into a ball on my bed, feeling hollow as ever. I just read over Mark's Facebook post after someone tweeted it to me.

My door opened and I felt someone at at the end of my bed.

"Hey. I need to tell you something. Bob and Wade can't come, something... came up. That's all they told me. Jack had to leave early for a wedding back ho-- Chloe, are you okay?"

I shook my head and glanced over to my laptop. He walked over to it.

"I'm sorry... I'm so, so sorry." He whispered, coming back over.

He kissed my forehead and left the room, closing my door. I let the tears I had been holding back escape. God, I'm such a crybaby.

This paranoia is really getting to me.

"Hey, Chloe.. you wanna watch a movie?"

I nodded a bit before getting up and following Mark down stairs.

"I'll be.. right back.." I said, before running to my bedroom, slamming the door, and locking it.

·Mark's POV· (FEELS INCOMING!)

It's been three days. I haven't slept at all. Chloe hasn't come out of her bedroom.

I asked her who she'd talk to. Arin, Danny, Ross.

I took out my phone and called Arin.

"Hello?" I heard from the other end.

"Arin, I need you, Danny, and Ross to come over here, now, please. Chloe locked herself in her bedroom and hasn't come out for three days.. please, I need you guys..." I blurted out in between sobs.

"Oh, shit.. we'll be right over!" He yelled before the line went dead.

I swear in the span of about thirty seconds, I heard the front door swing open and three pairs of footsteps running up the steps. I glanced towards the three and then towards Chloe's door, tears still sliding down my cheeks.

"PARANOIA'S A BITCH, HUH!" I heard Chloe yell.

The three of them started to talk to Chloe, gently arguing with her about her worth. When it finally calmed down, I got up from my curled up state and walked over to her door.

"Chloe.. please, come out. I love you more than I love everything I've ever known, and everything ill ever know. I haven't slept for three days, and I'm worried as fuck about you. I cannot get over the fear of you hurting yourself. I just want to see your beautiful face, brightening smile, joyful laugh.." I trailed off as tears began streaming down my face.

"You're worth so much more than you believe, and I-" I was interrupted by the sound of the lock clicking. Oh ,thank god.

The doorknob slowly turned, and the door opened to reveal a puffy eyed Chloe. I practically dove down and hugged her tighter than I've ever hugged anyone before.

"Oh thank god, you're okay.." I'm not sure I've ever been so happy.

I turned to Arin, Danny and Ross, who were all in tears.

"Thank you guys."

"It was all you, man." Ross said, smiling.
