Midnight Memories (Sequel)

Midnight memories 36

Chloe: 

After I finished making the cupcakes, I put them in a small box and walked out of the house. I got in the car and set the box down next to me on the passenger seat. 

I sighed before turning the car on. I remember when I had the accident, it always haunts me every day. Most of the time, it's either Harry or one of the girls driving me around because I've been traumatized by the car accident. I've even had nightmares about it. Touching the steering wheel is enough to bring back those horrible memories. 

 I took a deep breath and started the car.

Once I arrived at my old house, I parked the car in the driveway. I grabbed the box of cupcakes and walked towards the front door. My mom is probably home. 

After a few knocks and a couple of minutes, my mom opened the door. She had a worried look on her face. 

"Hey, mom" I said while smiling and handing her the box of cupcakes. 

"Hey, sweetie" she said, trying to muster up a smile, but I could read right through her. 

I stepped inside and she closed the door behind me. "Where's Sofia?" I asked curiously. 

"She's locked up in her room. She won't open up" she told me with a sigh, setting the cupcakes down on the kitchen counter. 

"What's wrong? Is she okay?" I asked in a worried tone. 

"I don't know. She won't tell me what's wrong" my mom said. 

I sighed and set my bag down. My dad stepped in through the front door and joined us. "Chloe, hey honey" he greeted. 

I smiled and gave him a hug, furrowing my eyebrows when I noticed he smelled like a woman's perfume, and it wasn't my mom's. And I know for a fact that men don't use perfume, they use cologne.  I pulled away and he set his suitcase down. I went upstairs and walked up to Sofia's room. Her name was printed with bubbly letters on her door. I knocked on her door, waiting for an answer. 

"I'm not here" she called out. 

"Sofia, it's me Chloe" I told her. She quickly unlocked the door and hugged me tightly. I stepped inside and we sat down on her bed.  "What's going on, Sofia? Are you Okay? You know you can tell your big sis anything" I said.  

She looked down at her hands and then at me before taking a deep breath. 

"I was walking home from the library and...on my way here, I made a turn to take a shortcut and I saw a couple making out in a car. I stared at the car for a moment and I saw that it was dad's car. When the couple pulled away, I noticed it wasn't a couple. It was dad with some random woman that wasn't mom. The woman had long blonde hair and they were both smiling at each other like they were in love. I quickly ran away and now I don't know how to tell mom because I don't want them to get a divorce" she said while tears formed in her eyes. 

My eyes grew wide in shock. Why would my dad to this to my mom? They're so happy together. At least that's what I thought. And why did my little sister have to be the one to witness that?

I wiped her tears before pulling her in for a hug.   

"Don't worry about it. Leave it to me, okay?" I told her. I seriously don't know what's I'm going to do, I have no idea, but I need to try something.  "Just don't be sad and don't lock yourself up here. I remember when I did the same thing because mom and dad didn't get me a phone. Trust me, it's no fun" I added. 

She pulled back from the hug before smiling and grabbing her laptop. "I saw your video. You girls have amazing voices. You should totally go on the X Factor" she told me.  

"Thanks. We're thinking about it" I told her with a smile.

Sofia fell asleep while I sang her a song. 

After making sure she was comfortable in her bed, I headed downstairs where my dad was in his office and my mom was in the kitchen making dinner. 

"Stay for dinner" my mom said.  

"Mom, can I talk to you?" I asked her. 

"Sure" she said while drying her hands. 

"Dad, can you join us please? I need to talk to both of you" I called out towards my dad. 

He stepped out of his office and joined us.  We all sat down on the table. 

"What's going on, sweetie?" my mom asked curiously. 

"Dad, is there anything you need to tell mom?" I asked him. 

"No, sweetie. I--

"Dad, I know" I interrupted him. 

He quickly knew what I was talking about as he gave me a knowing look. 

"What's going on?" my mom asked. 

"I think dad should tell you that. I have to go back home, it's getting late. It was nice coming back and finding out--new things"  I said while getting up and shooting my dad a disappointed look. 

How could he do this to my mom? 

"Just take some time and talk about it" I said while stepping out of there.

I stepped into the house before setting my stuff down. I went to my room and sat down on the bed. I couldn't help but start crying. It's not just about my dad cheating on my mom. it's everything. I miss Harry. My dad cheated on my mom. My little sister witnessed everything. And my parents are probably going to get a divorce. I know they are. My mom is pretty tough and I know she'll be strong through this but I don't want her to fall back to alcohol and depression. That would be so horrible for my little sister.

 My phone started ringing. I looked down to see who it was. Harry. 

"Hey, Harry" I answered, pressing the phone to my ear. 

"Kitten? What's wrong? Why are you crying?" he asked in a worried tone.  

"My dad is cheating on my mom and--I-I miss you Harry. I wish you were here" I cried while wiping my tears that just kept coming.  

"Please don't be sad, love. I hate it when you're crying. I promise I will do everything I can to get back before the five months. And your parents will talk it out, don't worry babe" he said in a soothing tone.  

I laid down on the pillow and kept the phone pressed to my ear. "How about I sing you a song so you can fall asleep?" he asked.  

"I'd love that" I said. 

He started singing Little Things. His voice was soft and soothing and it sounded so relaxing and comforting. I felt so much better by just hearing his voice.
