Chloe's POV

------------------------

Guess what Michael did? After he swore to me he'd tell Kiera about the fact that we were going out, he runs off with her.

"You ok?" Gerard puts his arm around me.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I assure him, giving him a hug.

I sit in my place in English and find myself sat next to an emo girl.

"Hi," I smile at her. Her nervous blue eyes reach mine.

"Hey," she returns the smile.

"I'm Chloe. Its ok to be scared,"

"Aha, I'm Ella. I'm pretty socially awkward," she laughs. I notice that she has a My Chemical Romance top on too.

"You like My Chem?" I ask, a grin spreads on my face.

"Yeah. Thats Gerard over there. I saw you with him. You dating?"

"Aha, nah, we're just good mates. Who's your favourite?"

"Frank Iero, he's adorable," she smiles.

"I can talk to Gerard if you want,"

"Really? Ah cool. Please do!" she squeals.

"I will," I promise her.

After the English lesson, I walk with Gerard and Ella. Me and Ella became really good mates.

"So you'll talk to Frank?" I grinned at Gerard.

"Yeah," he giggled back. He gave me a really tight hug and we walked to the yard. Loads of people were there. I like people. Ella was hesitant but joined us anyway. I made a lot of friends.

"Hey, your Joe's sister aren't you?" I hear a boy ask. I nod.

"Yeah. We're surprisingly close," I smiled.

"Yeah, he told me," the boy smiles.

"Joe talks about me? Wow, I'm touched," I placed my hand to my heart. The boy laughs and we talk for a bit longer.

"Chloe! Chloe!" I hear Luke running to me.

"Luke! Luke!" I mocked his calls. People laughed again.

"Its Michael. Come now!" he runs off. I sprint after him and see Michael on the floor. He is bruised and is sobbing his heart out.

I shrug, "Not my fault, or my problem,"

"What?" Luke looks shocked.

"He chose to ditch me, its his loss," I toss my hair over my shoulder and walk off.

"He needs you," Luke sounds desperate.

"Should of thought of that before, shouldn't he?" I spat, not even bothering to turn my head. I walk back and see Ella talking to Frank.

"Hey!" I gave Gerard a smile.

"Hi, what was that?" He pulls me towards him.

"Nothing," I sigh.

All through last period (music) I couldn't get Michael out if my head. What the fuck did that whore do to him? All of my 'I don't care' attitude turned into anger. But I couldn't go soft. Not on a boy that broke my heart.

"Chloe?" I heard Ashton say, he was sat next to me.

"Yeah?"

"Why do you hate Michael?" he looked puzzled.

"Urghh, I don't. I miss him so much," I sighed, smacking my head on the keyboard, making the notes play a little too fiercely.

"Then talk to him," Ash's eyes were sad.

"I wish it was that easy, Ash, but I can't. I can't just go forgiving him that easily. You know that I said that if he doesn't own up the second time, its going to be hard to get me back,"

"We're still friends though, aren't we?"

"Yeah, we always will be. I'll forgive Mikey eventually but I need time to gain my confidence back. It happened with Nathan and then with Michael. Can we not talk about him?"

"Ok," he said, giving me a tight hug. The final bell rang and I made no stops until I was at the apartment.

When I got in, Joe was watching TV with that girl again.

"Hi," he smiled at me.

I nodded at him and slumped off to my room.

"What?" He popped his head around the door.

"Leave me alone," I muttered, plonking down on the bed.

"No, what's up?"

"Michael-" I squeaked, before a tear trickled down my face, followed by a thousand more.

"What has this boy done to you? C, I've never seen you cry so much until you met him," Joe sat on my bed and pulled me to him.

"Joe?"

"Yeah, one sec!" he yelled back. He kissed my temple and then my cheek.

"I love my Joey," I gave him a sad smile.

"I love my Chloe. Ok, what happened?"

"He promised that he wouldn't go. But he did, he ditched me. I really want him back, I love him but I don't want to go crawling back,"

"Yeah, so, um, you've seen Lara," he shrugged.

"Em, yeah. Please don't make out when I've had a shit day," I laughed, "go on, I'm fine."

Joe gave me one last kiss on the top of my head and went out.

My phone rings.

Incoming call from MIKEEYYY

"What?" I spat.

"Please. You saw me. I told her. When I walked away with her, I told her. She didn't take it too well," he chuckled.

"Michael, we can be friends, but its going to take time before it heals. Before I can trust again,"

"Yeah, I know. Wait, friends?"

"Yeah, I don't like holding grudges. We'll be back to normal some time," I feel myself smiling.

"Good, I mean its good we're mates again," the stutter, the word malfunction. He's doing it again.

"Wanna come over?"

"You serious?" I laughed.

"Yeah, C please, the boys miss you,"

"You sure its just the boys,"

"Fine. I really miss you,"

"Same. Ok, I'm coming," I hang up and I have a big grin on my face.

As I reach the door, Joe speaks up.

"Loverboy back?"

"Not quite, but friends," I smile at him, "oh sorry, I'm so rude. Chloe," I shake Lara's hand.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Lara," she beems.

I open the door and begin the familiar route to the boys apartment.

"CHLOE!" Michael practically screams, sprinting to me.

"Hi," I say shyly. I'm collected in his arms, but push him away.

"Do I hear Chloe?" I hear Ashton laugh. I smile as he hugs me. I look at Michael and he seems irritated.

"Hey!" I hear Cal chime in, hugging me. And before I know it, I'm being hugged by four idiots.

God I've missed these boys.
