Chasing Rainbows // Zach Herron

Chapter 23

"How do you know who brad is?" Jonah said breaking the silence. He glanced over st Chloe, giving her a look.

"Oh, I met him. He's such a sweetheart" she said biting her lip. Bella gagged at the sight of Chloe.

"I'll take the kids upstairs" Corbyn said, grabbing onto the twins arms and leading them up the stairs.

"Why were you talking to him, Chloe?" Jonah said slamming his fist down on the table.

"He just wanted to chat about your dear friend, Bella. I learned so much about her and Zach, especially their relationship." Chloe said, taking a bite of her spaghetti.

"You have no fucking right to get in my business" Bella seethed through her teeth.

"You have no right to do that shit, Chloe. You don't know how much pain he caused this group" Jack said standing up.

"You.. shouldn't be left alone with him. Who knows what he could've done to you. You saw the bruises he left on Bella's neck just from minutes of being alone with her" Jack said screaming, walking towards Bella.

"You need to fucking leave if you're going to use him against my friends, Chloe" Jack continued.

Chloe rolled her eyes and stood up. "Fine, see you guys tomorrow night at the party." Chloe said and walked out the door.

Party

Bella and the boys were setting decorations everywhere. Zach grabbed Bella's face and lightly kissed, smiling showing his teeth. "Tonight's going to be fun" he coed into her ear

Bella giggled and walked away. She went up to the bathroom to actually get ready.

Throughout the night, people started to pile into the Why Don't We house. Warm, sweaty bodies were grinding along everyone else while red solo cups were held in the air.

Zach and Bella had parted their ways, going to talk to their own separate friends. That didn't stop Chloe from getting what she wanted.

She slowly walked up to zach, placing her hand softly on his shoulder. She kissed his cheek, leaving a big red lipstick stain on his neck. Catching him by surprise, he turned around and saw that it was Chloe.

He quickly backed away and tried ignoring her. She came back up to him, this time full on kissing him on the lips. For a split second, Zach didn't know what to do. He felt stuck in this situation.

Everything was going by so quickly for zach, within seconds Chloe was being ripped off of Zach by Bella and Jonah.

"How could you?" Was all he heard before he made his way upstairs, drowning out the noise. He didn't feel normal, he felt like he couldn't breathe.

The walls were closing in on him and he didn't have enough time to escape.
