Whispered Happy Endings

Chapter 23

Damon didn't call. Didn't txt. Nothing after that voice-mail. But I knew he wouldn't. He was taking the cowardly way out of things. Oh well. After a couple days, I Skype Holly and Caroline. I was crying. I wanted to know if he changed even the slightest.

"What's wrong?" Caroline asked.

"I sent him a voice-mail Friday." They looked guilty.

"At night?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"Um..."

"Tell me."

"He slept with some one that night. I think he got a call in the middle of it." Holly said, looking down. That stabbed me.

"Then he made his choice. I got to stop doing this. It's only hurting me and the people around me. I'm done trying to pretend he will change. Thank you for telling me the truth."

"He's changing. Just into a more hateful, mean person. He's skipping important dinners. He's telling me that I will never get to have my dream come true." She teared up.

"I'm sorry, Holly. I knew this would blow up in everyone's faces. That's why I didn't want to involve everyone. But you will! You have a real talent. Just because he is upset with everything doesn't mean that you won't reach your dreams." He never would have said that to Holly before! He has changed.

"Thank you, Victoria."

"You're welcome."

"We miss you!" Caroline said.

"I miss you too! We should do something!"

"We are going to a fashion show close to where you are. Come with? We will bring an outfit and makeup."

"Fine! And we can have a sleepover and you guys can meet Deanna!"

"Best idea ever!" Holly said.

"When is it?"

"Tomorrow." Caroline looked down.

"Okay. I can work with that." They smiled, we all looked happier than when we got on.

"See you then! We have to go ask Mom and Dad."

"I'll ask Jenny and my dad."

"Txt when we get answers." Then they were offline.

I called Deanna.

"What's up?"

"Holly and Caroline are coming tomorrow for a fashion show. Sleep over afterwards, want to come spend the night tomorrow night?"

"Sleepover with royals? Sure. Txt me when you want me over."

"Will do."

"See you then."

"Yep." She hanged up.

I ran downstairs to ask Jenny and Dad. They were in the kitchen, eating lunch together. It was nice. Having a family back together. Rachel and her dad did hire stalkers. We charged them with stalking charges. They were ordered to stay away from us and never to hire anyone again. Or they would serve jail time. They stopped. We told everyone the real story. Now, Jenny and Dad were like teenagers in love. It was cute. But painfully. But I tried not to let it show.

"Hey, Jenny and Dad."

"What do you want now?" Dad asked, teasingly.

"Holly and Caroline will be coming for a fashion show near here. They want me to go to that. Then sleepover with Deanna later that night. It's tomorrow. Can that happen?"
