Meeting Mr. Gang Leader ✔️

Chapter 12- Chloes p.o.v.

^^ Drifting by G Eazy. This song is so freaking good you should listen to it. It's also the song that Chloe and Paedro sing.

I leaned against the bathroom counter, applying some eye brightener underneath my eyes to hide the bags. I didn't want Sebastian, or anyone, knowing I was hardly sleeping at night. The bruise on my cheek from where my father slapped me faded to nothing but a small circle of yellow. I applied makeup on that to hide it.

I adjusted my earphone in my ear, pressing play and listening to the music play.

'And now I'm missing your love, ima roll up
I'm faded once again, I don't know where I am
But I just know I'm driftin far from you
I'm trynna keep my head strong, but my heart
Won't just let me grow away from you
Don't you know we're driftin off, driftin off?
I know you think that it's my fault for fallin off
All this hope and disregard, driftin off
I know you think there ain't no fault, I fall apart
And now I'm missing your love'

"You have am amazing voice," someone said softly behind me.

I gasped, whirling around to see Paedro standing in the bathroom door. How long had he been standing there?

"What?" I asked.

"You were singing. You're voice is pretty great."

"Oh. Thank you."

"Don't thank me. What're you listening to?"

"Drifting by G-Eazy."

"You listen to him? Damn Chloe. I thought you listened to that Justin Beiber trash."

"I'm slightly offended that you thought that," I said, playfully glaring at him.

"Take your earphones out and replay the song. I like it."

So I did. I started doing my make up again while Paedro sat on the counter. Chris Browns part in the song was over and now it was G Eazys part. Paedro began to rap along to it.

'I blame it on the distance why Im fuckin with these bitches
These numbers in my phone a text pop up she's like "who is this?"
You probably got a mistress
Probably every week it switches
Now is this cause for concern
And should I be suspicious?
I'm over seas trippin, a million miles away
And she's still in L.A., my mom's out in the Bay
And these over seas minutes add up, that's a lot to pay
I can pay it yeah I know, but it's the excuse I say.
She been tryna track me down
I feel like I'm cattin now
Dodgin her when she's the one
I'm out here trippin, actin wild
Start to wonder if I've changed
I'm like how could that now
Would these bitches be here really
If I wasn't rappin now'

I stared at Paedro in astonishment. He just rapped that whole verse. Without even catching his breath.

"What?" He asked, catching me staring.

"You just," I tried," I can't believe you just- you just rapped that whole verse."

"Yeah," he shrugged. "I guess I did."

I noticed how his shoulders were slumped, and how he had his head hung down. I put my eyeliner down, gently touching his leg.
