Diary of Chloe Isobel Watson

Chapter 2

24th February 2023

2:00pm

I’m sitting in English doing nothing apart from writing of course, lunchtime was amazing and then I got bad news.

When Maths was finished I headed to my locker to put my books away and a note fell out of my locker “Meet me by the basketball court after Maths.”  I put all my stuff into my locker, looked at myself in the mirror and ran down to the basketball court. I could see Link waiting for me at a bench he was sitting down, then he looked up at me running, smiling, and then he stood up and waited for me.

“I’m so sorry I’m late” I said as I hugged Link

“It’s okay, you are here and that’s the main thing.”

“Really”

“Really” Link said smiling at me

“So how are you?” he said a few seconds later

“I’m fine, I guess, you?"

“I’m good, how was Maths?”

“I’m getting there slowly”

“That’s good to hear, want to go for a walk?”

“Sure.”

So we started walking and talking about things

“You were amazing last night”

“Thanks”

“I love your voice; it’s beautiful the way you sing.”

“Really, thanks, my mum said I’m really good at it but I don’t really believe her.”

“Well you got to Chloe, you’re mums right.”

“Thanks”

I blushed as he said that I was good at singing, and then he held onto my hand as we were walking

“I really like you Chloe”

“I really like you too; well I’ve liked you since year 7.”

“Wow, that long”

“Yeah, I’ve always wanted you to be my boyfriend, but haven’t had the guts to ask.”

“Yes”

“Huh” I said sounding confused

“I’d love to be your boyfriend.”

“Okay, wow, great”

He started to smile, and then he grabbed me by my waist and kissed me really gently, it was amazing

“You are really beautiful you know that”

“Thanks”

We held hands again and walked in quietly

“Close your eyes.”

 “Why?”

“Just do, it trust me”

So I closed my eyes, Link took my hand we walked for a bit and then we stopped

“Open your eyes”

I opened my eyes we were in the middle of the field, there was a blanket laying down, two plates, two glasses and a picnic basket.

“Is this lunch”

“It sure is”

I was surprised to what he done for me

“You mean a lot to me Chloe; I’ve liked you for a while too.”

“Really”

He just smiled and opened up the basket, grabbed out a bottle of sparkling grape juice and poured some into each glass then my phone rings it was Miley.

“Hey what’s up?”

“Your father is here”

“What, why”

“I don’t know he’s been crying and won’t tell me.”

“Okay, I’ll be there in five” and I hanged up

“I’m so sorry; my father is here, I’ve got to go I’ll be back as soon as I can”

“Is everything ok?”

“I’m not sure”

I kissed Link and ran up back to school and went to the main office and I saw Miley and dad

“I came here as fast as I could what’s up?”

Dad struggled to talk but managed to in the end

“I’m so sorry, love, but your mum has died.”

As soon as dad said that I ran back outside to Link, he started walking back, as he saw me he dropped his things and held out his arms, I just ran to him crying

“What’s wrong, babe?”

“Mum, mum.”

 “What about your mum?”

“She...’s gone, she’s gone.”

“I’m so sorry, babe”

He just held on to me as I was crying then he managed to sit me down, put the blanket around me, as I was crying into his chest

“Everything is going to be okay, I’m here for you, ssshhh.”

I kept on crying, he started to sing softly.

“What would happen if we weren’t together?

 Seeing you like this hurts me inside”

Then I started;

“I try not to show it, how I feel

I’ve lost the best thing in the world”

Both: “You have me, I have you

All that matters”

We stopped singing, I was still crying into Link’s chest, he got up, pulled me up and gave me a big bear hug, he picked up his things and he held onto my hand and we walked back up to school, I was still crying but quietly to myself.

“I’m gonna get my stuff and head home early.”

“Okay, babe do you want me to come with you?”

“No, I’m fine, I’ll text you later and you can come around later, if I need you I’ll text you early okay.”

Link just nodded knowing how sorry he felt for me, he kissed me on my forehead and headed to class, I walked quietly to my locker to get my stuff, then I went to English sat down for a bit and waiting for a teacher.
