blowing out the candles

Replaced.

Chloe's POV

I slowly wake up in my snuggly duvet sheets. Then I realised, it's my party today! I was so exited that I got up to quickly and started to feel dizzy. I sat back down for a couple of seconds then got back up. I looked at my clock and it was 8:30. On Saturdays, my family doesn't get up until at least half past nine. I run into my parents room and open the curtains.

"Mom, dad it's my party today! Laser tag is booked for 11:00 and it's already 8:30!"

Obviously they went back to sleep so I left there bedroom. I decided to go and get ready so I can relax instead of rushing everything at last minute. I go downstairs and put 2 slices of bread in the toaster while I go and get the butter and knife out ready for when my toast pops out of the toaster. While I'm waiting, I check my phone to see if I have any messages. I went on Instagram and casually scrolled down my feed, when I spotted Maddies latest photo. It was a photo of her and Nick, check to check, he was was pulling a funny face at the camera but she was facing the camera smiling, but her eyes were looking up at Nick. The caption at the bottom what she wrote reads: "Selfie with the beautiful Nick! Having Chlo's party today so exited to spend a full day with the one and only! Xxx"

Who was this one and only!? Me or Nick? She better not be planning anything otherwise I'm coming her way like a ton of bricks. POP! My toast is ready. Loads of questions were roaming in my head. Because I was not focused, I missed pouring my orange juice into the cup, and it went all down my pyjamas and down the counter! I had to start focusing on what I was doing so I put my phone down, on silent and cleaned up my mess and went upstairs to get dressed.

I went upstairs and looked in my wardrobe to choose my clothes. In the end i picked out some black skinny jeans and a blue frilly top. After that, I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I washed and cleansed my face then applied powder foundation, eyeliner and lipgloss. Once I was satisfied with how I looked, I walked into Clara's room and said goo morning to her and took her down stairs to get breakfast. At this point it was 10:00 and I could hear my parents getting up. I gave Clara some sugar puffs and went to my phone. I got loads of texts of nearly everyone that I knew. They all wanted to know if me and Nick were breaking up or if Maddie was replacing me. I texted all of them that we are still together and that she will never replace me.

"Are you exited for your party?" My mom said with a big grin on her face as she ties her dressing gown together.

" I guess" my parents looked at me strange wondering why I was so exited this morning and now I didn't really care. I couldn't tell them. It would be too embarrassing.

When I got in the car with my dad, I was texting Paige. I didn't tell her about Maddie either because she's a blabber mouth and would tell Maddie. Instead we talked about who's going on who's team and what will our names be. Paige wants to be "Hyland Hero" because she thinks she is more Important than Brooke. She means this in a funny way because them two are really close best friends. Not just sisters. I've decided to be called "Nick's Girl". By the time we choose our names, I look out the window and laser tag is right there! I say bye to my dad and give him a hug, then run out and meet brooke and paige waiting outside. After we've greeted each other, kendall and nia showed up. One by one they all get dropped off by there parents. So there is me, kendall, kenzie, nia, paige, Brooke, maddie, nick and Brandon! We all go inside, choose our names and then wait till our teams are called in. While we are waiting nick and Brandon go and play on a car racing game while we all talked. I noticed Maddie kept glaring over at Nick but I didn't say anything incase she was looking at something else.

After about 20 minutes we get called in. We put on our targets and we pick up our guns. Once everyone was ready, the door opened and we got into our positions. A huge beep sound alerted everyone that the gam is on! It is pitch black with loads of walls and hiding spaces. At one point I found a barrel you could crawl into and I was nearly winning! There were a few neon light around just for safety so that you didn't trip over anything. I turned a corner and hid under a long ledge. I felt somebody next to me and the sound of lips smacking. I turned around as a neon light shone on them. It was Nick and Maddie making out! Nick saw me and I ran away crying. I tripped over and grazed my knee but I didn't care at this point! I just want wanted to run! My eyes were filled with tears with Nick calling me shouting he's sorry. I'll never forgive him for what he's done.
