{ no pov } 

Chloe hadn't realized what she was doing, nor could she feel anything. She was numb. and she liked it. It took all the empty feelings and the stress away. She felt like she was free. Free from some sort of spell. But she knew she wasn't deep down inside. She knew she still held that stress. But not for tonight. All she held tonight was either a cigarette, a bottle, or his hand.

{ morning } 

Once the morning sun shone brightly threw the curtains, Chloe struggled to block it out. However, after several tries, she finally gave up and opened her eyes. Everything was a blur. Her head hurt, her body hurt, and she had an awful taste left in her mouth. She sat up, slowly, as if her body was as sensitive as a baby's. once her eyes adjusted, she realized that she was in fact in her own room, instead of Finn's. She didn't remember anything, let alone being brought home.

She grabbed her phone and checked the time. "1:00 !?" She squeaked. She then quickly threw the blankets off of her, only to be stopped by someone. "Where do you think you're going?" He asked. Chloe slightly screamed, not obvious that there was someone in her room. "woah, chill it's just me!" He said with a slight chuckle, barely able to hear. "Jesus Finn, h-how did you get in here?" she asked. 

"how I always do." he said, nodding his head towards the window. "right...so, mind telling me why I feel like shit?" She asked holding her forehead. "That is what I like to call a hangover."  He grinned. "a hangover?!" She repeated, this time louder. "okay look, you'll be fine. All you have to do is stay hydrated and rest." he explained. "Don't you think I've been hydrated enough?" She sarcastically rolled her eyes. "alright, I know you think this is my fault-"

"it is!"

"ok well, why don't I bring you takeout? will that make you happy?" He smirked, knowing it would. "fine.." she mumbled. He smiled and nodded, as he opened the window. "wait, finn?" she said. "yeah?" he replied. "Thank you" she said with a small smile. "any time" he said, before jumping out the window. 

and as she went in the shower, the thought of him being so nice to her made her smile grow even bigger.

For the rest of the day, the two teenagers just watched Netflix and ate food, cuz what is better than that? Except there was still one thing on Chloe's mind. She remembered kissing him, she did, but she didn't remember why. 

"Finnie?"

"yeah?"

"We kissed last night..right?" 

"uh y-yeah, I think so" he replied, his facing growing redder and redder. 

"why?"

"what do you mean?" he asked. 

"why did we kiss?" she explained. 

it went silent for a moment. 

then Chloe spoke up again. 

"are we in love?" she asked him. 

"I-I don't know.." he said, he never knew anymore. 

But neither did Chloe. She didn't even know what love meant. but she thought she was in love. she thought love was all easy and fun and joyful. 

but it's not always fun. 

"well I love you anyways, whether we are in love or not." she smiled her cute little smile because she was just a girl that wanted love. she wanted to be loved so bad. 

"I..I love you too." he replied with his smile. The smile that even he didn't know was true or not. 

neither of them knew what it meant to be truly loved, and they wouldn't for a long time. But until then, they were going to be stupid teenagers who go to stupid parties and are stupidly in love. Whether it's real or not, they are in love.
