Reaching for Happiness

Chapter 35

All through the next week, Aston kept sending me cute little texts. One morning he had flowers delivered to me, which was sweet of him. I spoke to him every night on face time. I preferred it to a phone call, because I could see his facial expressions this way. He really got annoyed by Sara.. Every time we spoke on face time, he'd talk about the annoying things she kept doing, which I found amusing. By the sounds of it, she was an overly flirtatious little whore that was going to get a good slap from me if she didn't stop trying to get into Aston's pants.

It was Friday morning, so I was seeing Aston again today. I was so excited, it was unreal. The tour bus was picking me and Jaanvi up on it's way to the London O2 arena from Cardiff. Sophie had helped me have a bath this morning, then get dressed. I always made sure I wore loose fitting clothes now, as I didn't want to look fat with my bump. I straightened my hair and applied natural makeup. Once I was ready, Sophie wheeled me out into the reception to meet Aston. Jaanvi wasn't here yet,and neither was Aston. I sighed and pulled out my phone. I'd gotten twitter now, and I already had over 10,000 followers. I didn't even have 100 tweets yet. I looked on the JLS account; there was a new tweet from Aston that was tweeted 2 hours ago. 

'Back in London today! Can't wait to see my gorgeous girl again!! Asto xxx' I RTed it, giggling at his cuteness.

'Hey Chloe' someone said. I looked up to see Jaanvi being wheeled over to me.

'Jaanvi! Oh my god, you look amazing!' I said, my eyes taking in her appearance. She was wearing a pale pink dress that came to just above he knee, and she'd styled her hair beautifully, pinning it to the side. She'd also done her makeup perfect.

'Thanks, so do you' she smiled. We sat chatting away about random things for a while. We were on the subject of Victoria Beckham when Jaanvi's face dropped. I turned around to where her gaze was directed, to see Aston and Marvin walking through the door. 

'OMG' she said quietly. 

'Hey baby' Aston smiled, walking over and greeting me with a long and passionate kiss. 

'Hi' I smiled.

'So you must be Jaanvi' Aston asked looking, once he pulled away from our kiss, while Marvin came over to kiss my cheek. Jaanvi nodded eagerly, grinning from ear to ear. 

'Nice to meet you babe' he said, kissing her cheek, Marvin copying his actions after. Her cheeks flushed bright pink straight away, making me chuckle to myself. 

'Come on then' Aston said, wheeling me outside to the bus while Marvin wheeled Jaanvi. The boys helped us inside, and sat us on the sofa at the back of the bus.

They came and sat with us once they'd loaded our wheelchairs, and we got chatting away. Jaanvi was less shy now, and was being her usual self. We were soon interrupted by the bitch I was hoping I wouldn't see..

'Asty Poo, have you seen my phone?' Sara squeaked, coming towards us in nothing but some skimpy underwear. I tried not to laugh.. Asty Poo? Really?

'No, I haven't' he said.

'Are you sure' she spoke, biting her lip and leaning over the table we were sat around, he boobs right in Aston's face, trying to get him to look at them, but he didn't. He kept his eyes on her face.

'I'm sure' he said, turning his attention back to us. She rolled her eyes, before marching off. Once she'd gone, I let out my laughter.

'What's so funny?' Aston asked, with a confused expression on his face.

'Nothing Asty Poo' I giggled.

'Shut it you' he laughed, pulling me closer to him. I noticed out of the corner of my eye, Oritsé had come downstairs and was looking around.

'Reesh!' I shouted to him. He grinned when he looked up.

'Hey Chloe' he smiled once he had reached us. He was only wearing his boxers, which made Jaanvi go silent and stare with her mouth wide open.

'Reesh, this is Jaanvi' I smiled.

'Hey beautiful' he said, taking her hand in his and kissing it, his lips lingering there a while. Aston wolf whistled, making them both blush.

'Reesh, go put some clothes on bruv!' Aston chuckled softly.

'Sorry, I was kinda forced down here to look for Sara's phone' he laughed, before wandering back upstairs.

When we got to the O2, we had some time to our selves. Jaanvi and Oritsé so fancied each other.. It was cute really. I was sat backstage in a room with Nikki, Jaanvi, a dancer called Caitlin, Marvin, Oritsé and Aston. JB seemed to have disappeared somewhere..

'I'm just going to the toilet' I smiled.

'Do you want any help?' Aston asked.

'No, I've finally learnt to go to the toilet myself if I don't have to climb any stairs' I said, quite proud of myself.

'Wow, it's a miracle' Aston said sarcastically.

'Shut up!' I laughed, smacking his arm.

'Well, I'm gonna go get some drinks. What does everyone want?' Aston asked.

'I'll just have a water please babe' I smiled, as I wheeled myself out of the room and to the toilets, leaving Aston to get everyone's orders. On my way back from the toilets, I came across Sara. She looked at me, so I smiled. I had to be polite I guess.

'You know, I feel sorry for you' she said, once I'd passed her.

'Excuse me?' I asked, turning myself around to face her.

'You really don't have a clue do you.. You think Aston's this perfect guy who adores you, but your so wrong' she said harshly.

'What are you talking about?' I asked, confused.

'I slept with Aston. And not just once, we've slept together a few times in the past week' she grinned evilly.

'You lying bitch.. Aston wouldn't sleep with you, he hates you. He always talks about how much he hates you' I spat.

'Exactly. He always talks about me. The hating me part is just a cover story' she sniggered.

'I don't believe you.. Aston wouldn't do that to me'

'Are you really sure about that?' she asked, coming right up to my face, our noses almost touching. I backed my wheelchair up a bit, to get away from her. Little did I know there was a flight of stairs behind me.. I must not have noticed them. As my wheels hung over the edge of the top stair, my wheelchair slowly tipped back. I tumbled down the stairs, my wheelchair following me. My body bounced off every step until I got to the bottom. The wheelchair fell on me as the light slowly faded..
