Broken Star // Chandler Riggs Fanfiction

Chapter 14

I sighed and looked out the window.

"We can't keep this up," he parked the car.

"Exactly Chandler, you should've given me time, instead of rejecting the idea that I like you!" I threw my hands up.

"I'm sorry," he put his hand under my chin.

"I can't stand seeing you and not being able to have you," he said, his voice barely a whisper.

"Chandler, we both still have Quinn and Hana to deal with," I muttered, but I didn't pull away.

His hand was on my thigh, and his other gently holding my chin. I could see his freckles our faces were so close.

"We can leave them, they'll get over us," he pleaded.

"Chandler they're both going to be so pissed, I don't want Quinn to hurt you," I tucked some of his hair behind his ear.

"And I don't want Hana to hurt you, but I will protect you from her, I would fight Quinn if it meant I could be with you," he cupped my cheek with his hand.

"If we're both hurting this much without each other, maybe we need to be together," he whispered.

"I love you," I blurted out. His eyes widened, but then he smiled.

"I love you too," his voice was hoarse. I felt him pull my face closer to his. Our lips met, and it felt right. It wasn't anything like kissing Quinn, it was not average, but beyond that. It felt like he was the only one in the world.

I felt his arm wrap around my waist, I wrapped mine around his neck. I ran my hands through his hair. His other hand rested on the side of my face.

I wanted to be trapped in the moment forever. Just us, no Quinn or Hana.

"I'll break up with Hana tomorrow at school," he whispered.

"I'll do the same with Quinn," a smile crept onto my lips.

We stayed in the car for a while, until we realized Norman would wonder where I was. Chandler dropped me off at home.

I opened the fridge and looked through the contents. I kept remembering Chandler, and a smile was now printed on my lips.

I gazed off and started thinking about the kiss.

"What're you so happy about?" Mingus reached past me and grabbed some eggs, snapping me out of my daydream.

"Nothing," I giggled.

"Chandler told me already," Mingus playfully rolled his eyes.

"Oh, well yeah," I stammered.

"I'm glad your happy," he smiled. He hugged me and went back to cooking.

I got a text and looked down at my phone.

Karen: Next week you start filming the walking dead. Don't forget it starts on Monday! On Thursday you have a red carpet event, the rest of the cast is going to attend as well. Saturday you have a photoshoot with Seventeen magazine, and Sunday you're going with Norman to finalize your adoption plans. The adoption finalizing is just an event where you sign the papers and everything, close family and friends are allowed to come.

The next day I woke up excited and nervous. I would finally get to be with Chandler, but I had to break up with Quinn and face Hana.

I got ready quickly and went out front. I saw Quinn waving at me from his front yard.

"Hey do you need a ride?" He yelled.
