⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀After that this all happened between Chloe and Josh, she felt miserable. Did Josh hurt her? No, not physically. But he did break her into a thousand pieces, and Chloes world is turned upside-down. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀How could she be so stupid? How could she choose for Josh years ago, how could she ever fall for his charms? And how is it possible that she never saw how possessive Josh could be? Chloe keeps on blaming herself for everything, but she's not the one to blame. Josh is, of course. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Chloe walked towards Rickys house, tears streaming down her face like waterfalls. She needs to break up with the guy she loves the most on earth, the guy who stole her heart and will always keep it, even though he's going to hate her later on. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀She stood in front or Rickys front door, and wiped her tears away quickly. She can't show Ricky she had been crying, and she can't tell him what happened. At least, not now. She rang the doorbell three times and Ricky opened the front door in no-time, his emerald green eyes piercing into her soul. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"You're late." He said, almost emotionless. Chloe swallowed the lump down her throat and nodded invisibly, before making a move to walk inside, but Ricky stopped her. "Where have you been?" He asked, a frown appearing on her face. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Chloe noticed how his voice was harsh instead of lovely, and she saw how his eyes weren't sparkling like usual. Whatever it is, it's not right, and she knows that Ricky is going to explode. It's only a matter of seconds, maybe minutes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I went to the L's, they said they were sorry." She quietly spoke, trying to avoid eyecontact with the guy in front of her. "And I uh- forgave them, I guess." Chloe murmered. Rickys eyes shot fire and he laughed sarcastically, taking out his phone. "Looks like you forgave him pretty well." Ricky growled, showing Chloe a picture of her and Josh, making out just a while ago. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I thought you were being serious, Chloe. I thought you were telling me the truth whenever you told me that you loved me." Ricky shouted, tears itching in his eyes. "Is this who you really are? A fucking cheating bitch who just wanted to hurt me, because I was a Z?" ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"No Ricky, you don't understand it! Im doing this for you!" Chloe screamed back, begging Ricky to understand, but of course, she can't tell him about what Josh, Liam and Brooke told her, because then they would kill him. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Oh for me!" Ricky said, "then explain it to me, Chloe! Because I don't see how hooking up with your ex while we're in a relationship, is something you do for me!" Ricky said, spitting every single word out. The guy is desperate and heartbroken. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I- I can't" Chloe sobbed, looking down at her feet. "Of course you can't, because it's just an another lie..." Ricky sighed, shaking his head slowly. "I meant it when I told you that I was going to fight for you, I promised you to marry you one day... B- but you were playing this nasty game from the beginning. I knew I couldn't trust people like you, but I was too naive to actually fall for an L." He said. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Ricky I-" Chloe pleaded, stepping closer, but Ricky stepped backwards and pressed his lips on each other. "No, Chloe..." He said, "if the L's want war, then fine... Go ahead, hate on every single member of the triple Z's..." He said, "but I'm so done with this." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"This isn't just a game you can play. We're over, Chloe... Not that you mind of course, because this was your plan from the start, isn't it?" Ricky asked, ready to close the door. "Ricky, please... If I could tell you why, I would... B-but you need to keep in mind that this seriously is for you. you may not believe me, I wouldn't believe it either..." The blonde cried, ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"but I can't do anything about it." She said, hot tears streaming down her face, "I'm so sorry" She sobbed, before turning around and running away as fast as she could. Ricky wanted to stop her, but instead, he just stared at her running away. She didn't turn around, she didn't look back. She just kept on running, towards the clubouse of the triple L's, hoping that nobody would be there. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀And by her luck, Josh, Liam and Brookelynn already left. She saw that Brynn and Zack sat down on the couches, and Chloe stared at them, her eyes widening. "W-what are you guys doing here?" She asked, a small gasp escaping her lips. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Ricky called us, he explained everything and said you ran away. He expected you to come here, and he was right." Zack said, standing up, while Brynn copied him. "And why did he call you?" Chloe asked, drying her tears. "Because he cares about you, but couldn't come after you himself after what happened." Zack said quietly. "Chloe, what's happening?" Brynn asked confused, worriness filling her voice. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"N-Nothing I'm going to shower" Chloe said, running towards the bathroom and letting the hot water fall down, the sound of the water splashing against the bathtub, taking away the sound of Chloes soft cries, and pain. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Chloe didn't even put off her clothes, she just went into the shower, leaning against the grey wall, and crying her eyes out. She wanted to wash away Joshes hands, Joshes kisses. She wanted to wash away everything that happened a few hours ago. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀She didn't even notice that Brynn came inside of the bathroom as well. Chloes back was facing Brynn, and when Brynn called Chloes name, she didn't hear her. Brynn put her hand on Chloes shoulder, and Chloe started screaming. "Don't touch me!" She screamed, turning around. "Keep your hands off of me!" ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀But then she realized that she stared into Brynns eyes, filled with concern, when she finally broke down, into her best friends arms. "Chloe, did Josh-" Brynn asked in shock, while Chloe nodded, closing her eyes. "It's all my fault" She cried, her wet body soaking Brynns dress. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"You can't tell anyone" Chloe cried, looking up to stare into Brynns eyes. "They will kill Ricky, what was I supposed to do? I can't live without him" She sobbed, almost hyperventilating. "But Chloe- you love him..." Brynn said, her eyes watering as well, by seeing her best friend being broken like this. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"To death" Chloe whispered, wiping away some of her tears. "But if I'm not an L anymore, Josh will kill Ricky. I can't loose him twice as hard... Don't tell him, please..." Chloe begged. "But-" Brynn protested, but Chloe cut her off. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Please..." She whispered. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
