Dark Times - An ALDC Story

Chapter 2: Regret

*Hi guys, this part is going to be a bit sad. Well I may not pull it off well, but it's supposed to be. Please don't hate! Remember to vote and comment.*

Narrators POV:

The next day, Chloe met up with Paige and Brooke again and told them about her argument with her mom. "Are you ok?" Brooke asked whilst she rubbed my back.

"Yeah, but I regret my last words, I said I hated her." I said in a shaky voice.

"Don't worry, she wont actually think you hate her. Parents never do." Paige said as she made a stupid face at Chloe to make her laugh. Chloe tried to hold it in, but burst out laughing and even doubled over. "Do you want me to come to your locker, because you know Maddie and all?" Paige asked. "No, I should be fine. Anyways you saw yesterday how many people were there to protect me." I reply.

"Ok Chlo Bird catch you later," Paige said as her and Brooke go off together. Chloe made her way to her locker and yet again Maddie was waiting for her. Chloe didn't look at her and just inside her locker.

Chloe's POV:

"Maddie, here to apologize?" I ask, accidentally maybe coming off as a smart ass. Maddie tsks and then she said, "Chloe, you think your everything, but you really aren't. All you are is a talent less dancer that spends ages on make up to hide her disgusting face." Maddie said. Suddenly from behind her Kendall and Payton come out and taunt me too. "Chloe have you ever thought about committing suicide, because I think it might suit you." Kendall said. Payton kicked my legs down and I fell to the floor. I was biting my lips trying to hold the tears in. Suddenly they all start attacking me, throwing punches and kicking. My locker is under the stairs and only three are around it, so nobody could see. They weren't really kicking and punching that hard, maybe out of fear that they would do bad damage to me. I screamed and a few people came over and broke it all up. I didn't even get a bruise. I guess it was more of a warning, but a warning for what?

"Omg, Chloe!" said a few people. They picked me up and took me to the nurse. Around six people filled up the room more tried to come and help me. "Chloe, they three girls didn't leave any marks on you, just a good scare. They are talking to the principle now. "I'm fine everyone, thanks for coming." I say.

"Chloe Lukasiak, can you come to the office now please," said the announcer.

"I guess I have been summoned, I'll catch you all later," I say as I leave the room. I opened the door to the office and Cathy (the administrator) is crying. Is she crying for me? I wasn't even hurt a little bit, why would she be full on crying. "Chloe, sit down we have some news," I spin around and to my right is Paige and Brooke. Both of them are on the verge of crying. I'm really starting to freak out now. Is something bad going to happen to me? I take a seat and wait for this 'news'. "Chloe, there is no easy way to say this, but... your m- mom was in a car accident and is in the hospital. She is in critical condition."

*Sorry for the short chapter, but I thought that this would be a good place to end it. Maybe you can see why it's called regret or not I don't care. It isn't really much of a cliff hanger if I'm literally going to write the next chapter after this is it though. Well screw it!*
