EDITING! Left Behind-(Chloe Lukasiak, Demi Lovato)

Chapter Seven- Boring Business Meeting

Chloe's POV:

It has been a week since I first spoke to Demi and things seem to be going well. I haven't opened up to her yet but I have started to talk again.

"Chloe, come down here a minute!" Demi yelled from the kitchen.

I skipped down the stairs to see Demi sat at the breakfast bar with her laptop open and her phone next to it.

"What's up?"

"Well you know how you're still a kid right?"

"Um Dems, where are you going with this?"

"You know that place where all kids go?"

"Are you talking about school?"

"You start next week"

I was about to object when Demi got up and walked out of the room.

I am not, I repeat NOT, going to public school! The whole reason I started homeschooling whilst on Dance Moms was because of bullies and their jealousy, not just to focus on dance.

I can't go through this again. I cant.

Running up the stairs, I storm into my bedroom, lock the door and crawl into bed.

Just when things were starting to look up. I guess every good thing must come to an end. I replay all the horrible memories in my head until I fall into darkness.

*Knock knock*

I stir in my sleep and roll onto the other side of my bed, ignoring the irritating knock on my bedroom door.

*Knock knock*

"What?!" I screamed whilst opening the door.

"Chloe, I have been knocking your door for the past ten minutes! what were you doing?!"

"Oh I don't know? Sleeping maybe!"

"Well don't lock your door, it could've been an emergency"

"Whatever" I mumble, "what do you want?"

"I just came to let you know that we are going out to dinner in an hour so be ready" and with that, she walked into her bedroom.

Suddenly, realisation hit me. Demi said dinner. How long have I been asleep? My alarm clock reads 5:30 pm, I went to sleep at 12:30pm!

I quickly enter my en suite bathroom and jump into the shower before getting ready.

Too much clothes to choose from. Not that I am complaining. after looking through my walk in closet, I finally decide on a white crop top with the word 'DANCE' written across the front in black, ripped black skinny jeans and a black blazer.

Next, I walked into the bathroom to do my make up. I went for more of an edgy look, as you can see by my outfit, by applying black smokey eye shadow and red lipstick.

After drying my hair, I left it in my natural waves and pinned a few pieces of hair to the back.

I spray some 'Wonderstruck' perfume by Taylor Swift and look for shoes to complete my outfit.

"Urgh, I give up!" I mumble, walking into Demi's bedroom.

Hearing her shower, I decide to walk into her closet and look for some shoes to wear.

100+ shoes later, it's down to three pairs, all black to match my outfit. The first is flats with cute bows on the front, second is wedges with straps around the ankles and third is lace up, high heeled ankle boots.

The boots will definitely finish the look I am going for. I put them on and wait on Demi's bed.

Ten minutes later, she walks out of her bathroom wearing the outfit I chose for her last week. The one with the black dress and heels.

"Wow, look at you!"

"Um, thanks" I mumbled, silently regretting taking her shoes without asking. Maybe she won't notice?

"So where are we going?" I ask as we get into Demi's car. I hope this isn't a business dinner, those things annoy me.

"We're going to that new Italian restaurant down town, it's a meeting"

And there it is, an annoying business meeting.

The car journey is only short, fifteen minutes to be exact. We get out of the car and walk into the restaurant and Demi leads us to a table in the far corner.

As we approach the table, I see a man. I recognise him. He stands up and gives Demi a hug.

"Chloe, this is N-" I cut her off.

"Shush Demi, I know who he is!" I at before giving him a hug.

We all laugh and take our seats, me next to Demi and nick opposite us.

"So, what's this meeting about?" I ask, pretending to e interested.

"Well, as you know, I am going on tour soon and we are deciding on some last minute things" she gives me a sly smirk before going into conversation with Nick.

Okay, I don't know what that was about and quiet frankly, I really don't care. Pun intended.

"Chloe!"

"Wh-what?"

"You zoned out for like twenty minutes!" Opps?

"We have a surprise for you"

"What is it?"

"You'll find out tomorrow" and with that, she went back to eating.

This is probably the longest chapter I have written.
