Crazy But True

Chapter Two

I’ll give you some background/history now:

Cody, Chloe, and I have been best friends forever, but when Cody got signed by Shawn Campbell and became famous he had to move out here- to Los Angeles. We used to live in Atlanta. Chloe and I were upset and pouting for the last six months because we knew he was leaving, so we came out and spent the summer here. About two weeks ago Cody told us that Angie & Brad talked to our parents and we were moving out here, too! (We already had houses available to buy and move into thanks to the Simpsons- it was perfect). The only problem was... Jack. Jack is...was... my boyfriend and I only told him a couple days ago that I wasn’t coming back. I guess he took that as an opportunity to show up out of no where to “visit” me. This made it rather awkward since I THOUGHT we broke up.

*Present Time*

“Jack! You’re... back!” I said confused as I pulled out of the kiss. I knew I was repeating myself now, but I was just so stunned. (and to tell you the truth, I’m not that big a fan of PDA). 

“Aren’t you excited?! I thought you could say goodbye one last time!” Chloe said confidently. I pulled her aside.

“I thought I broke up with Jack because I’ll never see him again. What the hell??” I whisper yelled at her.

“But he didn’t get that yall broke up! And you even said that you’d never break up with someone over the internet or phone! So, I brought him out here so that you could really break up!” Chloe rushed through her words in a harsh defendant whisper. 

“Oh... You’re right... Well he’s here for a week?? What- am I supposed to date him for a week and then dump him? I don’t want to go out with him anymore, I know I seriously thought I loved him, but I dont anymore....I.....*I spaced out and then realized I was still talking*....Never mind.”

Chloe gave me a “we’ll talk later” look and headed back to where Cody and Jack were making awkward small talk (they never were very close).

“Are you guys ready to go home?” Cody said, exasperated. Chloe & I nodded our heads and Jack said he had to get back to his hotel room, his mom was waiting for him. ICE (Cody’s second body guard and driver) was waiting in the black SUV to take us to Cody’s house.

“Is Alli gunna be back from her thing with Pastry? Cause we could all go down to the private beach and have a picnic for dinner, for the last day of summer and all...” I said while I rested my head on Cody’s shoulder. 

“Yeah, she’ll be back, sounds like a plan, I’ll text mom and ask her to get a picnic basket together for us. That way we can get there quicker.” Cody said. His voice was so soothing, and even though it was only a 15 minute drive, I fell asleep for the rest of the car ride home.
