Chloe's P.O.V.

     I cried all night last night when I got back to my moms house but at least she said I could stay with her as long as I need.  I have been getting multiple texts and calls from Harry but I can't bring myself to answer them because I know exactly what's going to happen.  I'll forgive him like I always do but I can't this time.  He did the unthinkable and I thought he loved me.  I thought that we were happy but know I'm broken and all of my scars have reopened.  I had nightmares of me being kidnapped and raped all night last night and it hurt.  I know I should talk to someone about it but I can't bring myself to do it because I don't want to admit to myself that he and someone else did it.  I just don't.

     I finish getting dressed and I run a brush through my hair and I decide to leave it down.  I decide to go natural today since I will probably end up crying...again.  I walk over to my dresser to grab my phone and flipflops before going downstairs.  When I walk into the kitchen, I see my mom making my french toast sticks and I smile at her sweet gesture.

Me: Mom you didn't have to do that.

Mom: I know but I wanted to baby.

     I thank her and we both sit down at the table and I sip on a cup of apple juice.  I eat slowly and my mom gives me a sympathetic look.

Mom: So, you broke off the engagement?

Me: Yeah, I gave him the ring back.

Mom: I sorry honey.  I never thought Harry would ever do this.

Me: Yeah...me too.

Mom: So what's going to happen when you have the baby which I can't wait to meet!

Me: Calm down tiger and I don't know yet.  We haven't really talked about it and I really don't want to talk to him yet mom.  He really hurt me.

Mom: Aw sweetie, I know how you feel.  When me and your dad divorced I was heartbroken but you know what?  It was the best thing that could ever happen for him because he got sober and he's doing so good now.

Me: Yeah but I love Harry.  But I don't know if I can forgive him this time.

Mom: You know what?  Your not going to get any better if we sit here and mop around about it.  I'm taking you out to the mall.

Me: I don't want to go to the mall.

Mom: Please!

Me: Ugh...

     I stood up from the table and hurried up to my room to grab my purse.  When I finally managed to get downstairs, we headed outside and got into her car.  She started it up and we drove out onto the road with the radio on.  I sang softly to the song and soon enough, we arrived at the mall and my mom parked.  We got out and walked inside.  We went straight to bath and body works and I smelt like a thousand perfumes before deciding on one called raspberry sweet mint.  I got some lotion and candles too before leaving.

     My belly started to growl again and me and my mom went to the food court to get smoothies.  I ordered a mango one and once I got it, I turned around to see Harry, Luke, Shawn, and some girl.  My heart literally squeezed when I saw them holding hands.  My mom wrapped her arm around my shoulder and we walked away.  Me and Harry made split eye contact and I turned away...that must have been Victoria and she is beautiful.

     We shopped for a little bit longer and I ended up spending three hundred dollars on clothes.  When we got back to the house, I went up to my room and I put everything away.  I decided to log into my Facebook and I scrolled through the home screen and I saw where Harry was now in a relationship with Victoria.  I have to move on since he already did.  I just have to.  

Me: Hey what are you doing tomorrow?

Taylor: Nothing!  What's up.

Me: Wanna go to the club?

Taylor: We're only eighteen.

Me: I know the owner and he'll let us in.

Taylor: Cool!  See ya tomorrow!

     I set my phone down and smiled to myself.
