Lost Love

Chapter 11

That one week went by so fast without us completing our tour- when I say 'us' I mean me and my dad. We spent most of the time in our swimming pool at the back of the house. Due to that, we stayed an extra week in Paris to enjoy the rest of our tour.
We spent that one week shopping and sights seeing. It was really fun; going for this trip with my dad pulled us closer than we were if that's even possible. We took a lot of pictures and tried their different dishes. The trip really made me relax and I was grateful for the distraction from school work. I didn't want us to go back home but I had no choice.
Right now we are back from the trip and I am so exhausted. I just want to lay down and rest but as much as I would love to do that, I can't because I have exams to prepare for. I sent Em and Chris a text about our change of plans of us staying back one week but Chris never replied, I wonder why.
Picking up my phone, I called him again and surprisingly he picked on the third ring,
"Chris, what happened??? I sent you texts and even called, you didn't reply. Is something wrong?"
"Don't talk to me" was his cold reply and the line went dead.
What was that supposed to mean? Why was he so angry? What did I do wrong? Those were the questions in my head. I tried calling again but it went directly to voicemail. I called Em and told her everything and also to ask if she could help me talk to him. She agreed instantly and I was slightly relieved.
Exams are coming up next week and I didn't want to fail so I decided to put everything behind me and let Em talk to him while I concentrated on reading my books.
Exams passed by in a blur and still Chris refused to talk to me. I would see him and when I try to approach, he would just turn and walk away. I called Em to ask about the issue and she said he was angry that I forgot our anniversary when I was away for the trip.
It was then I remembered our plans for our first year anniversary. Our anniversary fell within the extra week I stayed in Paris and the week I travelled was supposed to be used to prepare for that. I didn't even send him a happy anniversary message. I am so screwed. How could I have forgotten??? No wonder he's so angry. Before the trip, we had everything planned out already and just like that I forgot about it. I really need to apologize which I did almost immediately when Em stopped me. She said she would tell him my reasons and after that I can now apologize. I saw nothing wrong with that and went home.
Few days after that things started getting better between me and Chris and I couldn't be more happier. He accepted my apologies and we were back together. We had a small dinner to make up for our anniversary dinner we missed and I enjoyed it. Knowing Em was behind our getting back together I thanked her immensely.
One thing bothered me though- anytime I tried to invite Em to join us in our outings like we usually did, I noticed Chris wasn't entirely happy with it. He always looked for excuses to come up with. I confronted him over it but he brushed it off; laughing at my observations. I wasn't convinced but I finally stopped reading meaning into his behavior.

This chapter is shitty and too short I know and I'm still going to rewrite it. I laid off updating for a long time because I didn't know what to write and I just had to form this to keep my readers from waiting. I promise that when I get my thoughts together I would rewrite just this chapter.....but just so you know, Chris and Char are supposed to get into an argument for the story line to work out so if you have any suggestions for how you want them to get into that argument following the plot of the story you can drop it down in the comment section or just message me, it will be greatly considered....thanks a lot...don't forget to vote and comment...
