Chloes POV
I get released the next day but it doesn't feel like I've been released. I feel trapped, like the cancer is some sort of cage around me. All I have to do is put a smile on my face and everyone will think that I'm fine. I try a smile as I look into the mirror but instantly drop it when I see how fake it is.
"Ughhh...." I groan as I plop back down onto my bed with a thud as I hit my head on the top of my bed. I groan again and apparently my brothers hears it. He comes charging into the room, hitting my door with so much force that it leaves a hole in my wall.
" Are you okay! Are you hurt! Do I need to take you to the hospital! I knew that I shouldn't have let dad take you out..." he says frantically trailing off at the end.
" Come on Brandon, you left a freakin hole in my wall," I say getting up and playfully punching his shoulder. He glares at me and crosses his arms.
" You can't blame me for worrying about you," he says raising his voice. "Brandon..." "No! Don't even Chloe! You aren't taking this seriously!" He yells stepping closer to me. Tears well up into my eyes but I wipe them away forcefully. " You know what Brandon! You're suppose to make me feel better, not make me feel even worse about this extremely crappy situation!" I say as I push past him, running out the front door as I get into my army green Jeep Wrangler. I drive over to Crystals house with hot tears running down my face and my hands holding the steering wheel so tight that my knuckles are turning white. Who does he think he is saying that to me! Of course I'm taking it seriously, but sometimes I have to relax so I don't fall in a deep hole of depression like last time. I finally pull into Crystals driveway and jump out of my car. Crystals mom, Rose, answers and gives that look. I hate that look. Pity. I give her a soft smile anyways though.
"Come on in, honey. How are you feeling?" She says concern clearly in her voice. "I'm doing okay. Do you know where Crystal is?" I say.
"Yeah, she's upstairs." I nod and give her a thankful smile. She's always been like a second mother for me ever since my mom died.
I walk into Crystals room and see her sketching something with her head phones in. I knock softly of the table and she looks up at me.
"Hey what's up?" She says with the look. Why does everyone do this! They know I hate it.
" You're doing it, Crystal!" I say sighing. "Doing what?" "Giving me the look! You know I hate when people do that." I say crossing my arms.
"I know, I know! I'll stop. Anyways, back to my original question, what's up?" She says plopping on her light blue and white tye dye bed, patting the spot next to her. I sit down next to her and explain how Brandon and I got into an argument. In the middle of explaining, I'm interrupted by a phone call. I pick up my phone and instantly go to end it, assuming it's Brandon but as soon as I read the caller ID I freeze. Crystal looks over my shoulder and gasps.
Seth Green
My ex boyfriend.
"What do I do! What do I do!" I say frantically looking up at Crystal.
"Don't do-" I interrupt her by answering the phone.
"What do you want." I spit into the phone hatefully. I quickly put the phone on speaker so Crystal can hear.
"Babe, I miss you. I still love you and I know you still love me too." He says sickly sweet. My jaw drops and my eyes widen as I look up at Crystal. Im pretty sure my face turns red as I take a deep breath.
"Who do you think you are! I loved you and you broke my heart. Do you know how long I waited to hear those words! But that was a long time ago! You are too late! Where were you when I was crying myself to sleep! Where were you when I was going through the worst of times! Oh, that's right you were with her! You were freaking cheating on me, Seth! Now you have the nerve to call me and say that you love me! I gave you chance after chance and you blew it. I can't do this again, goodbye." I yell venom dripping from every word. I angrily end the call and take a deep breath. I look up at Crystal and she has her mouth wide open and her eyes are bugging out of her eyes.
"Woah...." She mumbles to herself. I let out a laugh. " I honestly didn't think you had it in you." She says shrugging.
"Shut up." I say pushing her shoulder back playfully with my head falling back with laughter.
