C H L O E (short)

2 weeks had gone since we all went to the beach and honestly, it was the worst 2 weeks of my life. My parents are on the verge of losing our house since they can't afford it, even with the money I gave them from my savings. Sasha and I are no longer hanging out since she got annoyed with me when I said good things about Beca. I shouldn't have since she is being a grade A bitch to me but I liked her and didn't even think. 

So I was about to lose my home, I no longer have anyone to sit with at school, I lost a friend and Beca doesn't even want to look at me. Oh and to top it all off, school work is stressing me out since I have no time to do as I am having to work after school and weekends to try and help my parents. Life is shit. 

The lunch bell had just gone so I headed to the football field and sat under one of the big trees that were a few meters away from the bleachers. No one sat here and I wanted to be alone for once.

I had just gotten to the bleachers and noticed all my friends talking. My teacher wanted to talk to me so I said I would meet them all here. 

"What did she want?" Jesse asked 

"For me to talk to Mason. Apparently, he isn't doing homework? Not my problem" I shrugged 

As we were all talking, I noticed Chloe sitting under a tree. I could tell it was her by her hair. It wasn't bright ginger but it was noticeable. We've not spoken in a while and also not spent time together. I did feel bad for being a bitch to her but I really didn't like Sasha for some reason, everyone else did and I knew I was just being an idiot but I wasn't going to change my opinion on her. 

Stacie told me Sasha and Chloe had fallen out because Chloe was defending me and she got annoyed about it, saying she wasn't going to be friends with someone who could defend me.

"I'll see you guys in a bit. I need to talk to someone" I told them, getting up 

It was clear they all knew it was Chloe. Luckily they wouldn't hear us, just see us but they won't look over.

"Hey," I said as I sat in front of Chloe

She just looked up at me and I could already tell she was sad. Chloe has come out of her shell as the year went on and I've not seen her sad. Not being friends with Sasha anymore can't be that heartbreaking can it?

"Hi" She mumbled 

"I've come over to say sorry. I was a bitch and I'm sorry for being an ass towards you. Sasha just annoyed me and I'm not really sure why. Just one of those people I guess. Annoyingly, I didn't think about you in the situation and I cut you out and ignored you too. I liked being close with you and I enjoyed when we would meet up and talk about random shit for ages without a care in the world. Please forgive me for being a total idiot?" I sighed 

She only nodded and that is how I knew something was up. 

"What's the matter?" I asked 

"You wouldn't care Beca"

"Woah. I would. I realised how stupid I was cutting you off. I've missed you" I told her 

"So it took me sitting alone for 2 weeks for you to figure that out? You've ignored me and been a total bitch to me for nearly a month and you think I'm going to jump into your arms and be your best friend?" She scoffed 

"No, but I want us to talk and hang out again. I've already said I was sorry and that I was an idiot"

She huffed, looking me in the eyes. 

"I hate the fact I can't be strong enough to ignore you because I missed you and I actually felt like we were becoming best friends. If we're going to be friends again then I need to know you aren't going to do that shit again because I can't be bothered for that. It was petty"

"It was and it won't happen again. You're my good friend and I don't want us to be apart again. Plus Jace misses Immy"

She laughed, rolling her eyes at me.

"So are you going to tell me why you're sad?" I asked 

"Just family things are a little awkward at the moment" She sighed 

"Anything I can do to help?"

"Sadly not" She said 

I nodded and we just ended up talking about a bunch of random shit. I knew something was still off but I wouldn't mention anything else considering we have only just started talking and talking about her family life might annoy her or make her more upset. Whatever it was, I hoped it got sorted out soon because Chloe deserves the best and to be happy. She is this bubbly and confident person when you really get to know her but she isn't like that at the moment.

******

I'm currently in bed and Chloe had just texted me back. I tried texting her earlier but I got no answer and it was not 8:30 PM and I finally got one. A little early to be in bed but I was tired and it was only Mason and my father downstairs and I didn't fancy sitting with them. 

Chloe: sorry Bec. just got home from work!

Beca: work?! it's 8:30 and a Monday night.

Chloe: yeah, i like to be able to pay for my own stuff...

Beca: props to you then i guess.

Chloe: haha thanks. Immy wants to see Jace again soon. you free sunday afternoon?

Beca: yeah sure, usual park?

Chloe: sure

Beca: see you there. i am going to shower and sleep because i'm tired but see you tomorrow chlo

Chloe: same here, night Bec
