Too late: A Matthew Espinosa Fanfic

Chapter 19

Chloe's POV☯

Last night I quickly ran to my room to avoid seeing Matthew.

I don't really know if I like Cameron.... I think I do but I think there's apart of me that is so attached to Matthew I can't let go.

When I woke up the next morning I got out of bed and went to the kitchen.

It was already 11:30 so all the boys were up and moving.

In the kitchen they were all standing in a circle around something.

I looked away and when I looked back there was another girl.

Immediately I felt like I looked like trash in my pajamas. Also my hair was a mess and my face was too.

I just kind of ignored it.

First off I was kind of upset none of the boys said good morning to me...

When I was walking away I heard a female voice.

"This is my competition..."

I whipped around.

"That's not very nice..." Taylor said to the girl.

"Oh I'm sorry your right Taylor. I haven't even introduced myself! My name is Stella." She pushed herself through the crowd full of boys and gave my a big hug.

I could almost feel the fakeness of her on me.

"Oh my name is"

She cut me off

"Chloe! I know I've heard so much about you!"

When she went back to the circle of boys I stood there like an outcast.

Stella had LONG black hair that went down to her lower back. Today it was perfectly straightend with no flaws. Her face was FULL of makeup of all sorts. I could see it caked on from across the kitchen. She wore a white crop top that said "Bitch don't kill my vibe" on it in black letters. Then she had on purple shorts and white high top converse.

She was kinda pretty.....

I just wondered where Matthew was.....

"Well nice meeting you im gonna go eat my breakfast in my room..."

Where did Stella even come from?

Was she a new member of Magcon of something....

"Hey Chloe were gonna go down to the outdoor mall in like half an hour so just be ready by then if you wanna go." Taylor said.

"Alright" I said turning into my room.

I shut the door and quietly ate my cereal.

I had to look better than Stella....

So after I got done I got to work.

I decided on red and black aztec print denim shorts. Then I wore a black tank top that said "killin it" in white letters. Then I wore my sparkly red vans. For my makeup i wore a little more then usual but nothing compared to Stella. I did mascara, eye shadow, concealer, foundation, and lip gloss. I couldn't decide that to do with my light brown hair... All the boys liked it curled to I decided to wand it. I wasn't so light I was like the beachy waves from yesterday but it wasn't super tight either. They came out a happy medium. I then sprayed on some perfume and checked myself in the mirror. I didn't look to shabby....

When I came out of my room all I saw was Matthew rapped around Stella. He had his arm around her shoulders and he was talking to her. Right as I made eye contact with him he kissed Stella on the forehead.

That made my blood boil....

We walked out to the driveway and loaded into two cars.

I wanted to ride with Taylor no matter what so when he stepped into the drivers seat of his SUV I hopped into the passengers seat.

I heard the backdoor open and in hopped Stella and Matthew.

"Hey guys" Taylor said.

"Hey Taylor" Stella said.

I have Taylor a death look and he mouthed the word "what" to me.

So i mouthed back "I'll tell you later.

Everyone else (Shawn, Nash, Cameron, Aaron) drove in another car.

We rolled out of the driveway and headed towards the mall.

Taylor chatted with Stella and Matthew in the back seat but I didn't say a word the whole ride.

When we finally got to the mall we all unloaded and started waking around.

We stopped to eat at the food area.

When we sat down Matthew and Stella sat down next to each other holding hands.

I rolled my eyes and continued eating.

After that we walked around and shopped some more. I got some new clothes for Magcon because we were leaving in 2 days!

When we were about ready to go into Pacsun when Stella dropped her bag. She bent over to pick it up and locked eyes with Matthew who was 1 inch away from her face.

He then knocked her into the wall behind her and started kissing her.

It was the same exact scene from my porch that one night.

I felt the tears building up in my eyes.

This couldn't be happening.

"I'm gonna go to the bathroom" I said turning away from everyone.

I hustled to a little alley in between some of the shops.

Then I lost it.

I started crying and I couldn't stop. I missed his lips on mine. I missed they way they felt so safe and comforting.

I sat down and kept crying.

Pretty soon Taylor and Shawn came around the corner.

"Oh my gosh Chloe we've been looking all over for you! What's wrong?" Taylor said.

"I. I. I still love him." I cried.

Taylor stood me up and hugged me close to his chest.

"The hardest thing is watching someone you love love someone else" he said.

I just nodded my head into his chest and kept crying.

"Shawn will you go tell the others it's time to go" Taylor said

"Um ya I'll go tell them" Shawn said running off.

Taylor pulled me away from himself and grabbed my face.

"Listen Chloe. Matthew is missing out. You are one of the prettiest girls I have ever laid my eyes on and I don't know why he would take her over you. To be honest she's kind of annoying" he said making me chuckle.

He whipped the make up off my face until you couldn't tell I had been crying.

"Let's go" he said motioning me out of the alley.

We walked back to Pacsun where the other were waiting.

"Ready to go?" Taylor said.

"Ya were ready" Stella said holding Matthews hand.

Of course Matthew and Stella rode with me and Taylor.

They held hands the whole ride home.

When we finally got home everyone suggested going out to dinner.

"No thanks but have fun" I said walking back to my room.

"Ya I'm gonna stay with Chloe" Taylor said following me.

We waited in my room until we knew they were gone.

"Whatchu wanna do?" Taylor said looking at me.

"Movie?" I said

"Let's do it." He said standing up and going to the movie room.
