⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Chloe opened her front door and peeped her head inside, hoping that her parents weren't home. A sigh from relieve escaped her lips when she saw a note on the table, saying that they were at the supermarket. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Chloe took a deep breath and walked upstairs, towards her bedroom, and when she looked into the mirror, tears started to fall down her cheeks. She saw how she was still dressed in Rickys hoodie and his sweatpants, and she puts her hands before her mouth, while sobbing like never before. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀She sat down on her bed and kept on staring at herself, examining the clothes she was wearing. It's impossible that she actually did this with Ricky, how could she? She had a protective and lovely boyfriend, and still, she cheated on him. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀And for a second she thought that Ricky wasn't this asshole as she thought he was, but then he called her a slut, so then she knew with who she was talking again. He's a Z, she can't believe this happened. Why out of all the boys at the party did she need to pick him? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Her phone went off, and she gasped when she saw Joshes name pop up. She needs to pick up, he's probably worried about her. Chloe took a deep breath and picked up, her hand shaking while she held the phone by her ear. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"J-Josh?" She quietly spoke, closing her eyes. "Oh thank god, Chloe. Are you okay? I was so worried, I haven't seen you anymore since yesterday evening and I was so scared something happened." Josh said. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Chloes eyes teared up once again. While her boyfriend was worrying about her, she was busy with Ricky, her attitude makes herself sick. "Yeah, I'm fine... I'm fine." She whispered, wiping her tear away. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Chloe you don't sound like you're fine, are you home right now? I'm coming over." He said. "No Josh wa-" She said, raising her voice, but she was cut off by the phone call which ended, and she sighed, leaning over on her bed, feeling how her back hit the soft matress. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Maybe Ricky is right, she needs to tell him something, but not everything. Josh is going to be upset, of course, but maybe he forgives her, like Chloe forgave him as well. But if she would tell him that Ricky is the one she cheated with, that's a whole another story. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀She decided to change clothes quickly, before Josh would see her in these, and right when she walked out of the bathroom, she heard Josh ringing the doorbell. The blonde walked downstairs slowly and opened the door, seeing how Josh stood at her front door, with a bouquet of flowers in his hands. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Chloes eyes widened and she slapped her hands before her mouth, tears itching in her eyes. "Can I come in?" He asked softly. Chloe nodded and pushed the door more open, and when they both walked inside, Chloe shut the door and they headed towards her bedroom. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Chloe sat down on the edge of her bed, and so did Josh, concern shining on his face. "These are for you, I wanted to apoligize for making such a scene at the party yesterday." He said, handing Chloe the bouquet of flowers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I just wanted to protect you, after that Garcia threw you outisde of his house in the pouring rain. But things got out of hand, and I know I've hurt you with that. I'm so sorry, Chlo..." He whispered. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Chloe slowly shook her head, "no I am..." she said, looking down. Josh scooted closer to the petite blonde and put her chin up, looking into her big, chocolate brown eyes. "What are you talking about?" He asked, his voice trembling a little bit. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀She bit her lip and tried to avoid eye contact. "I feel like a complete slut" She said, and again a sob escaped her lips. "I cheated on you, Josh." She whispered. His face changed and Josh went with his hand through his hair, looking down. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Please, say something." Chloe said, looking up again, and grabbing his hands. She expected him to scream at her, to throw the flowers at her head, but he didn't do anything of that. "With who?" He asked, looking up as well and staring into her eyes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Chloe swallowed the lump down her throat and shrugged her shoulder lightly, "I don't know... Some random guy at the party. I was so hurt, I drank way too much..." She lied, crying. "I'm so sorry, you don't deserve this." She said. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"B- but it didn't mean anything, right?" He asked, cupping her face in his hands. She was quiet for a moment, she never thought about this. Did it mean something? A part of her wants to be with Ricky at this moment but... She didn't know... But even though she's not sure, she can't let Josh know. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"N- no. It meant nothing. I love you, Josh." She whispered. And surprisingly for Chloe, he wrapped his arms around her, and she burried her head on his chest, while she inhaled the scent of his cologne, which smells so familiar to her. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I know, I know." He murmered in her hair. A tear escaped his eyes as well, and they pulled apart, while staring at each other. "It hurts, but you forgave me as well. It would be unfair to you if I screamed at you and called you nasty names, because I know I love you too much for this." Josh said, taking a deep breath. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Just promise me that it will never happen again, and then we can forget about this all. We're going to leave it behind us. I did things in the past which were absolutely unforgivable and unacceptible." He said, ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I can't blame you for doing the same thing, but let's promise each other that this won't ever happen again, okay?" He asked. Chloe nodded her head slowly, and wrapped her arms around his neck. "It won't ever happen again, I promise." She said. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Josh put his hand on her cheek and stroke it softly, while pulling his face closer to hers. He kissed her on the lips softly, but for Chloe, it didn't feel right at all. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀She feels horrible, and she doesn't want to admit it but... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀It all felt better yesterday. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
