One Last Dance

7. I'm sorry.

^Picture above is Bella's room walls which she and Chloe decorated, with all different pictures of her family, her and Chloe, photos she has taken and random things like school projects, notes, quotes.

~Bella's POV~

I can't hear Chloe's cries and screams just the noise of her suffering jolted me upwards and to her side in the corner of my room. She sat there hugging her knees to her chest.

"Hey, Chloe? Chloe what's wrong?!" I asked trying to comfort her.

"He's gone." Chloe sobbed, "Forever, everyone one i love is gone."

"I'm here, Chlo." I said

"No your n-not. Your in my head. Your gone. Brandon's gone. D-d-dad's gone."

Now i know what this is about. "Shit," I cussed.

I got up and ran to Chloe's phone, searching for Brandon's contact. "Hello? Brandon it's Bella, Chloe needs help.... come. Now!" Then i hung up.

A few minutes later i heard a knock on the door and abandoned my spot facing Chloe, i had taken off her top because she was sweating and thats what i used to see my mom do when someone was having a panic attack.

"B-brandon..." I stuttered when he pushed past me.

"Where is she?" He demanded.

"In my room."I replied.

That's when i noticed Luke standing at the door.

"Bella, your crying...." Luke said coming closer. That's when i noticed. He started wiping tears from my cheek.

He wrapped me in his arms, knowing exactly what i needed.

"Get away from me!" I heard Chloe yell.

I ran out of Luke's arms and into my room. Luke tried to follow me but i stopped him remembering Chloe wasn't wearing a shirt, its just because i don't think Brandon will be all to comfortable.

"She's half naked, wait here okay." I said to Luke.

"Okay...." Luke replied.

Chloe was a mess, still sitting in the corner of the room, Brandon stood above her his head in his hands.

I slowly edged toward her.

"Chloe, baby, just breath. Okay? Breath." I said.

I heard her try to inhale calmly, it didn't work properly.

"Try again baby." I soothed.

She tried and her sobbing calmed a bit. Brandon picked her up in his arms and sat on my bed against the headboard, saying soothing words into her ear. We sat there for a while, Me, Chloe and Brandon. When Chloe was completely calm Brandon started getting up, Chloe still in his arms.

"I'm going to take her to bed, we'll talk about it in the morning. Night Bell." Brandon said and started taking Chloe to her room. I began getting into bed when i heard Luke outside. I thought he left.

I heard a knock on the door then Luke came in with a sympathetic, forced smile.

"Come here, baby." I said opening the covers

He climbed in and let me lie on his chest.

" You wanna talk about it?" He asked.

"She broke Luke, Chloe broke." I sulked

"Hey, she's okay. It was probably just a dream, everyone is here. Nobody's gone and she knows that now, ok?"

"Her dad died Luke." I deadpanned, a tear leaking down my cheek. "When we were 4years old he was in a car crash. Died on impact."

"I'm sorry." Luke said kissing my head.

"Don't be, it's what brought us together. And it's not your fault."

With that we fell asleep.

*****

Buuuuuuur ....Burrrrrrrrr.... Buuurrrrrrr

I rolled over trying to turn the alarm clock of but smashed into something making me fall onto the floor and burst out laughing.

"Are you okay?" Luke asked sitting up and trying to hold in a laugh.

I was still trying to contain my laughter so what was supposed to be 'Ye. Perfect.' came out as, "WaPrefctttt."

With that Luke burst out laughing and fell next to me. When i finally calmed down and tried to get up Luke wouldn't let me.

"LetGo." I said trying to sound intimidating, it didn't work.

"You sound like your under water." Luke taunted.

"Oh shut up." I tried to get up again but he yanked me back onto his lap and kissed me before i could protest. I couldn't help but kiss him back.

Distracting him with my kiss i slipped out of his grip and ran for the bathroom to shower.

"Ha!" I screamed through the closed door

"Not fair." He complained

"I have class.... and i think so do you so, tick tock."

"Crap."

"Late?"

"Yup."

"See you later, Luke."

I took a quick shower letting the boiling water clean my skin, i put on a pair of high waisted black skinny jeans and a loose blue and white tank. When i got out i was surprised to see Luke still in my room looking at my picture covered walls.

"In the dark i couldn't see them but now, the pictures, they're beautiful..." He gushed.
