Twenty-two |

The whole day, they have been avoiding each other. Whenever Chloe walked in the hallway, Ricky turned around and went the other way. Whenever Josh's eyes met Chloe's, she turned her head away to avoid eye-contact. Ricky wanted to go talk to her, but he knew that today, it wasn't the right moment. It wasn't the right time. And he knows that it probably never would be the right time. He walked towards the parking lot and when he noticed the familiar blonde, pressed against the car and kissing her ex-boyfriend, his heart sank to the bottom of his stomach. H- how could she? Was this really happening? Is Chloe, the girl who asked Ricky for taking revenge on Josh, now making out with him? Ricky clenched his jaw and balled his fists, walking up towards the couple with heavy steps. He pushed Josh off of Chloe, and stared into her eyes. "We need to talk, now." He growled, but Josh came in between. 

"I guess talking isn't necessary." He laughed, raising his eyebrows. "I told you she was playing a game," Josh said, "Chloe and I are meant to be, we're back together." he said, grabbing her hand. "Josh..." Chloe whispered, shaking her head slowly, but Ricky couldn't control himself by this point, and he fired a fist in Josh's eye. Josh didn't wait a second to throw a punch at Ricky as well, and it hit him on his jaw. "Ricky!" Chloe shrieked, but there was really nothing she could do about two guys, fighting for her. "Please just stop" She cried, coming in between and shielding herself so that she wouldn't get punched. "But Chloe he-" Josh screamed, blood escaping the corner of his mouth, but Chloe told him to shut up. "Wait for me around the corner, I'll be right back, okay?" She asked Josh. He glanced over at Ricky, then back at Chloe and nodded, turning around and leaving them alone. He went with his hand through his hair and sighed, not sure of what will happen between Chloe and Ricky. 

When Josh was out of sight, Chloe stared at Ricky and crossed her arms. "What the actual fuck?" She spat, throwing her arms in the air. "What were you thinking?" Chloe screamed, pushing Ricky back on his shoulders. "What was I thinking?" Ricky asked, raising his voice as well, "What were you thinking when you were kissing your freaking ex-boyfriend, after all he did to you, after all you did to him?" Ricky asked. "He made up okay?" Chloe screamed back, "he told me how sorry he is, he has said it plenty of times already. And I'm sorry that I can't forget someone I loved for over two years, and I'm sorry I still love him!" She yelled. "Still love him, for real?" Ricky asked, a sarcastic laugh escaping his lips. "You used me, you fucking used me and you knew it!" He screamed, grabbing her by her shoulders. "That was the plan! I used you for Josh, you used me for your house. You have your house, just be happy and let's never talk again!" Chloe said, tears forming in her eyes. "Our plan was to take revenge on him, to humiliate him. Not to go and make-out with him again after all he did to you!" Ricky screamed, clenching his biceps, "why did you leave after the party? Why did you leave me alone?" He screamed, and by the tone he asked it, Chloe knew that he was hurt. "Stop acting to selfish," Chloe yelled back, "why do you even care? Why do you need to ruin everything with Josh every single time we're almost getting back together?" Chloe screamed, tears streaming down her cheeks. 

"Why do you need to ruin everything for me? Why can't you just be happy that our plan worked?" She asked. "Because I love you, Chloe!" Ricky screamed. "Because I freaking love you and it's tearing me apart!" Chloe stared at him in shock, while Ricky let go of her, and he turned around, walking away with clenched fists. "W-what?" she whispered to herself, and she stared at Ricky walking away, until he was completely out of sight. 

And then she walked home, leaving Josh alone.
