summer days don't last

The Drive Back

                                                                                    -Corey's POV-

I drove first on the way back. Chris and Chloe hadn't said anything to each other. Chris had tried to talk to her but she didn't answer him. I tried to get them to talk.

"Hey,Chloe, how bout you talk it out with Chris?"I say making an effort.

"If I wanted to,I would've. Thanks for trying"Chloe snaps.

"Just try to tiny"I coo.

Chloe rolls her eyes and turns to Chris.

"Why would you say something like that to me when you know how I feel about Andy?"Chloe says.

"I was just saying something. You know I didn't mean it"Chris says holding Chloe's hand.

"I can't tell. You didn't apologize or anything"Chloe says.

"Well I didn't hav the chance since you shoved me out of your tent"Chris argues.

"You have a phone,you could've texted me sorry! And you have a mouth to tell me sorry! It's been about a week since you said it!"Chloe yells.

"I didn't want to because you wouldn't have even looked at the text when you saw that it was from me. And I didn't want to tell you in person because you wouldn't have listened to me when I said sorry!"Chris yells back.

"Maybe all I needed was for you to say sorry to me. It might have seemed like I wasn't listening,but I listen Chris! I really do!"Chloe yells back punching Chris in the chest.

"Don't touch me!"Chris yells.

"And if I do what you gone do?!"Chloe says pushing Chris against the window.

Chris pushed Chloe back. They go back and forth at it. Chloe was really winning. She had Chris in the seat and she was choking him. I could tell he wasn't even trying. He wrapped his arms around her waist and flipped her in the seat. She squirmed around beneath his weight. He had position on her so she couldn't get up.

"You give up yet?"Chris teases.

"I fucking hate you"Chloe struggles.

"Show me how much you hate me"Chris says.

She gets out of his hold and pins him to the seat.

"Well? You gonna shoe me or not?"Chris says.

Chloe rolls her eyes and lets him go. He kisses her on the cheek. She slaps him.

"I still hate you"Chloe smiles for the first time all week.

"But you couldn't show me,so,you must not hate me"Chris says hugging her.

"So is it settled? Did you two make up?"I ask.

"Yeah,curly,we did. All thanks to you"Chris says. 

We were at the halfway point for the drive. I let Chloe drive. She was a fast driver. I was in the passenger seat. Chris texted Chloe something. She looked at it for a quick second.

"Corey can you get my phone for me?"Chloe asks.

"Yeah"I say grabbing her phone.

I looked at the text from Chris.

Chris:"so u still mad???"

I look at Chris. He was making a face at me. Like he meant the text for Chloe.

"I think you have to wait for her to answer it"I tell Chris.

"What did it say?"Chloe says.

I put her phone on the stand on the dashboard. She looks at it with a smile. I felt like she wasn't mad at him anymore. She quickly texts back"no" with one hand. I look back at Chris who has a big smile on his face. A good thirty minutes later,it was Chris' turn to drive. I was in the back,Chris was driving and Chloe was in the passenger seat. She would give him little kisses on the cheek. I just sat in the back listening to music,texting and playing games. After a while we were finally back at Chris' house. I saw my car sitting pretty in the parking lot.
