Chasing Rainbows // Zach Herron

Chapter 22

A week had past since the incident with Brad at the club happened with both Bella and Chloe. Everyone had noticed the change in behavior by Chloe, no one seemed to know why.

"Are you almost done?" Zach whined to Bella as she was stirring spaghetti noodles around the pot. "Almost, now go set the table and get everyone ready" Bella said swatting her boyfriend away.

She giggled to herself when she thought about how cute he was being. She sighed and started to drain the noodles, shortly after adding the garlic red sauce and her famous meatballs.

She served out the dinner and sat down with everyone. The table consisted of Bella, Zach, Rosey, Charles, Corbyn, Christina, Jack, Daniel, James, Jonah, and Chloe.

Everyone moaned at the taste of the food Bella had made. She was very pleased with the way it turned out, and frankly so was everyone else.

"It's so good" Jonah said winking at Bella causing her face to heat up. "Thank you, Jonah" she said and smiled at him.

The group started talking about different things like NASA or things like their upcoming music and much more.

Rosey and Charles talked about their school and what they learned, for example cursive writing, and talk about friends they talked too during lunch.

Bella felt as if this, this was a real family. One she could count on and one that would always be there, but as Bella was thinking that Chloe kept glaring at her.

Chloe would chuckle when she showed affection towards Zach and his kids, she didn't know why.

Bella finally had enough of it and spoke up. "Is there something wrong, Chloe?" Bella said sitting up straighter.

"No, just he fact that you're a lying, cheating whore." Chloe began and stuffed her face with noodles.

Bella felt taken aback by this. She just sat there and zach tried comforting her. "Why would you say that about her?" Christina said, sickened at the words that rolled off of Chloe's tongue.

"Because it's true. Anyways, how did you guys meet again?" Chloe said pointing her attention towards Bella and Zach. "We grew up together" Zach said, refraining Bella from answering any questions.

"Oh right right. So you guys didn't meet at a party where Bella cheated on her boyfriend and cried rape" Chloe said slamming her fork down. Jonah felt taken aback and told Chloe to stop.

"No, that's not what happened that night. You don't even know me. Where'd you hear that from" Bella shot back, holding her hands over Rosey's ears.

"Brad" Chloe said with smirk.
