Rising Stars

Chapter 36

Chloe's POV

When I went in Claire's room she was on her bed pouting with Snickerdoodle in her lap petting him. "Hey Claire." I said sitting at the end of her bed "Hi Mom." She said bluntly.

"Claire come here." I said a little harshly, she moved Snickerdoodle and sat next to me "I know why your all moody." I told her "You said she was an old friend." She said "She was. Claire there are some people in this world who don't know how to take No for an answer so they'll do anything to bring you down." I said as I felt tears in my eyes.

I turned her head so she's looking at me "I love you and Lola so very much for me to ever do that to you two. I'm sorry that you had to see that baby girl but just know that I love you." I said as a few tears ran down my cheek, Claire wiped them and hugged me "I love you too Mommy."

I went back downstairs "Madeline and Serenity get your asses in that kitchen." I say "Ooo your in trouble." Rosie teased "Rosabelle." I said, she stopped laughing. I smirked as I walked in the kitchen.

"Cleo eat and Lily I just called you in here for no reason." I told them "So why are you sad?" Lily asked getting a water "You know how you guys told me to tell Sam that I wasn't ready to be in another relationship?" Cleo asked from the microwave "Yeah."

"Well I told her and I think I lost her and to make matters worse she saw me and that jerk kiss so she's avoiding me." Cleo said as she took her pizza out the microwave and sat down. "And then today I saw her and some girl making out and I was jealous. But then I realized that I can't do nothing because she ain't mine." She said taking a bite of her food.

"Then make her yours obviously if your getting jealous seeing her with other girls then you want that to be you in that position not some other girls." I said "That's if she talks to me." She said sadly "She will don't worry." I said getting up to go back in the living room.

"Chloe?" I looked back "Can we go to the club tomorrow?" Cleo asked "Sure." I said before going in the living room.

I sat on couch and the kids came down and sat on our laps. "Where do babies come from?" Claire asked, we all looked at her "Why?" I asked "Because me and Mason want siblings." She said "Well you and Mason are going to get them very soon." Mia said.

"Really?" Everyone asked. Me, Lola, Mia, and Rosie nodded. "Are there babies in there?" Ceecee asked poking my stomach "No not yet." I said "Aww" they said sadly.

"I want a sister." Mason said laying his head on Mia's stomach. "I want a brother but I also want a little sister so I can be like you and Cleo or you and Lily." Claire said looking at me and Lola.

"Aww that's so cute." Lily said coming in the living room with Cleo. "So is there a certain someone you wanna see tomorrow?" I asked Cleo "Probably wanna remake her first night of going to the club." Lily joked "Shut up and no." Cleo said smiling "Sure." I said.

"Anyway who was the girl in the picture?" Cleo asked "An old hookup." I say, she nodded.

Gaven👨🏽‍🎤
The song is ready

Chloe🧚🏾
That was fast

Gaven👨🏽‍🎤
Yeah but anyway I'm gonna send you a copy.

Chloe🧚🏾
Okay thanks

I went upstairs and got my Mac book. "Alright girls Gaven just sent me the song are you ready to listen to it?" I asked Lily and Cleo, they nodded.

I pressed play and we listened to it and sang along with it "That was amazing." Avery said everyone said they liked it and we said thank you.
Then Cleo starts randomly singing so I recorded her.
Mama said, you're a pretty girl
What's in your head it doesn't matter
Brush your hair, fix your teeth
What you wear is all that matters
Just another stage
Pageant the pain away
This time I'm gonna take the crown
Without falling down, down, down
Pretty hurts
We shine the light on whatever's worst
Perfection is a disease of a nation
Pretty hurts, pretty hurts
Pretty hurts
We shine the light on whatever's worst
You tryna fix something, but you can't fix what you can't see
It's the soul that needs a surgery
Blonder hair, flat chest
TV says bigger is better
South beach, sugar free
Vogue says
Thinner is better
Just another stage
Pageant the pain away
This time I'm gonna take the crown
Without falling down, down, down
Pretty hurts
We shine the light on whatever's worst
Perfection is a disease of a nation
Pretty hurts, pretty hurts (pretty hurts)
Pretty hurts (pretty hurts)
We shine the light on whatever's worst
We try to fix something, but you can't fix what you can't see
It's the soul that needs the surgery
Ain't got no doctor or pill that can take the pain away
The pain's inside and nobody frees you from your body
It's the soul, it's the soul that needs surgery
(It's my soul that needs surgery)
Plastic smiles and denial can only take you so far
Then you break when the fake façade leaves you in the dark
You left with shattered mirrors and the shards of a beautiful girl
Pretty hurts
We shine the light on whatever's worst (pretty hurts)
Perfection is a disease of a nation (pretty hurts)
Pretty hurts, pretty hurts
Pretty hurts (pretty hurts)
We shine the light on whatever's worst
We tryna fix something, but you can't fix what you can't see (pretty hurts)
It's the soul that needs a surgery
When you're alone all by yourself (pretty hurts, pretty hurts)
And you're lying in your bed (pretty hurts, pretty hurts)
Reflection stares right into you (pretty hurts, pretty hurts)
Are you happy with yourself? (Pretty hurts, pretty hurts)
You stripped away the masquerade (pretty hurts, pretty hurts)
The illusion has been shed (pretty hurts, pretty hurts)
Are you happy with yourself? (Pretty hurts, pretty hurts)
Are you happy with yourself? (Pretty hurts, pretty hurts)
Yeah, yes (ah, ah, ah)

I post it because why not and the kids feel asleep so we put them in there beds then we go to sleep.
