chapter 3- remembering the past

Chloe’s POV

I woke up and it was another school day. I didn’t really mind cus on the weekend I am going on a trip with the guys. When I arrived at school I saw Reece and they others waiting for me and so were the bad boys. I went over to the bad boys. If the others think I would come over to them after last night they had another thing coming. “Hey.” “How did we get so close chlo?” drake asked.  Why is he asking that- oh right. “You told them about the diary didn’t you josh.” He sat me on his bike and they guys crowded me. “Look babe I err mean Chloe we love you. You are part of us now. You are one of our mates we are not just hanging with you so we can protect you from the others we are hanging with you cus we think you add the u in fun.” I laughed and stood up, “I know and don’t ever talk like that again.” I walked off; in my next lesson my other friends . . . well ex friends were sitting near to the back row knowing that I would sit there. The guys walked in after me and pulled me to the back row. “What is wrong with you Chloe?” Jordan asked. “What is wrong didn’t you hear your selves yesterday.” They looked at each other and then shrugged, I took my phone out and shown them. “YOU KNOW WHAT CHLOE WE HAVE DECIDED WE DON’T WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND YES WE ARE DRUNK BUT WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF DITCHING US FOR THE BAD BOYS EVEN THOUGH YOU KNOW I LIKE DRAKE BUT I YOUR KISSING HIM RIGHT NOW ARENT YOU OR ARE YOU KISSING JOSH THE ONE YOU TOLD US YOU HATE BUT HAS THE GREATEST BODY IN THE WORLD. WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU CHLOE.” I put my phone back into my bag. “That is what you yelled to me down the phone so sorry for not returning your love.” I said sarcastically. “Also these guys were there for me when my parents died you don’t even know that happened because you didn’t know my puffy red eyes that were there for a whole week.” “We are so sorry Chloe we never meant it we was drunk.” “I don’t think I want to hear it right now.” I tried to hold back the tears bye biting my lip. I was normally a big pushover but I couldn’t risk that right now. No one knew that I didn’t used to be a nerd; no one knew what happened before this school. At break we went outside and a guy came towards us, I stopped in my tracks I felt paralyzed. My body wouldn’t budge I felt my eyes watering. “Hey man who is this.” The guy said. “That’s Chloe.” He stuck his hand to shake my hand. “Are you not gonna shake my hand. My name is-.” “Kyle.” I finished his sentence I felt I could move now. “Erm excuse me.” He said frowning. The guys looked confused. A few tears ran down my face. “Oh I am guessing you are one of the girls I did a one night thing with.” He said smirking. “No and if you did I would class you as a freak. The last time I saw you I was 9.” I said crying. I was desperately trying to hold the tears back but they wouldn’t they kept pouring out of my eyes. “I am sorry I really don’t know who you are.” “That would have made you around 16.” “how do you know my age?” he asked I could see the worry in his eyes.” Josh tugged on my arm. “Do you know him Chloe?” I nodded. “But why would he remember me. I was 9 I don’t look anything like I did.” He still looked confusing. I showed him a picture of me when I was 9. I had long curls in my hair. He shook his head. “Give me more detail.” “I watched you kill my brother.” He shook his head. I slapped him round the face. No one has ever seen this side of me before and then I pulled out something. It was a knife I used on him I dug it into his leg. “Pull your trouser leg up and remember who did that scar.” He smirked. “You did. Your brother was called ……. Daniel. Awe you’re a nerd now I see, what happened to you being in your bro’s gang.” I punched him in the face. “I left it, because of you. When you killed my brother I didn’t want anything to do with danger. That’s why guys if you have noticed I have never been so bothered about this danger thing. I always carry a knife with me. The same knife.” “Oh yeah and you were the little girl who was in the chair that I took to get your brother which would mean.” He pulled my head up where there was a scar. “Oh yeah I remember it all now. So how have you been babe.” I attacked him and he fought back. I only got hurt once. Daniel was a great boxing teacher. I trained to block all hits. The guys looked shocked. A 16 year old fighting a 23 year old and winning. I got him to the floor. And got off him I looked at drake. “That’s why I broke you and Reece up when you were fighting. I hate fighting because of him. I was a bad kid in the past, I was rubbish and dumb I hung around with people that were strong and then when he died I changed and never told anyone I wasn’t planning on either until he shown up.” I was crying loads. Josh came to give me a hug but I pushed him and ran off. “Awe bad boy has gone soft on a girl.” Kyle said smirking at josh whilst I ran. I went the whole day without speaking to the guys I kept breaking down. After school I got in my car before any one could say anything. I didn’t bother going home I went to the boxing place where my brother always used to work out. “Hey chlo what’s up?” John asked me. He was Daniels best friend. Daniel told him if anything was to happen to him that john would have to watch over me. He does that; I have to come here a week and when I am stressed I come here to calm down. “KYLE.” I began to cry whilst punching a punching bag. “He is back. . . Where?”  I paused. “Don’t know but I attacked him.” He pulled me from the punching bag and hugged me. He smiled at me. “Forget him.” I nodded but still continued punching the bag. I didn’t care in needed to get my anger out on something. “Wow I’m impressed.” Josh said standing behind me. “Go away I don’t want to talk.” He didn’t budge. I stopped and face him. “What do you want josh.” He smirked. “Well I want an aero plane to myself. I would love to own my own country-.” “No I am serious I am not in the mood if you came for a laugh then I am leaving.” “sorry.” I left the building and leant against my car. “So.” “Are you ok the guys are worried?” I nodded. And got into my car. “Where are you going?” “I don’t know, I just need to be alone.” I left. I reached the grave yard. I walked over to my brother’s grave. “Hey bro.” I know it’s weird but I saw myself talking to him. “I have fallen out with all my friends and made new ones they are part of a gang. I know if you were here you would disagree but they are really nice. They have been protecting me. Tell me how mum and dad are. I miss you all I have no one left Dan.  I have no one to turn to. Some guys are after me. And a really nice guy called josh is protecting me. I attacked Kyle the murderer today. He showed up at my school and I flipped.” I felt tears rushing down my face. I felt like I was being watched so I turned around and saw josh watching me. Right now I didn’t care he wasn’t bugging me. “I saw john today. He helped me calm down. I am so sorry for not seeing you a lot. I am not in a gang I left the day you were killed. I am now a huge nerd that no one falls in love with or likes. I don’t care, I didn’t realise until today how much I missed you. If I could turn back time I would have found a way to get out of the chair.” I cried and cried and sat there for hours telling the grave about my life. Then I heard the motorbike. I looked for josh and he was gone. I fell asleep by his grave and woke up the next morning there. I got up and drove to the nearest shop bought flowers and rested them by the grave. Then I said goodbye and left to go home to get ready for school. When I got ready I saw josh on his motor bike getting ready to go he looked at me and frowned. “You ok?” I smiled at him. My eyes were puffy. And my face was red from the crying I have been doing. “I don’t know.” I got into my car and drove to school. He beat me there but I didn’t care and when I saw him with the guys they were all frowning and josh was whispering to them. Then they saw me and smiled. I could tell it was a fake smile. I looked down and didn’t attempt to go over to them.
