Chapter 4 - the truth

I could not sleep, I was thinking about what I would tell Gray. His Mom however rude she sounded to Blake was right. When I lost Caleb we were still dating. And I ended up taking all my emotions on Gray. He forgave me but I couldn't forgive myself. We decided it was best we stay away so we stopped talking for a good month, but the squad started breaking apart. And they didn't want to choose sides. Anyways his birthday last year was when we started talking again and we finally got past that bridge. I don't want to make another one. Amending broken relationships was one of the hardest things I've ever done. His mom after that wanted me to get away. She never blamed me because she understood but she obviously didn't want Gray to be hurt and I totally understood that. We came back from the cliff at 1, his parents were chill . The door creaked and I could see a silhouette. I was laying on the bed just staring at the ceiling. I felt him sit beside my leg 'Maddie' he said softly. I let out a hum as I sat up straight. He was mad because even after we became friends their was always this part of me that held back. That's one of the reasons I always tell Blake everything first ,he was almost like my twin .Don't know what I would do without him . I'm sorry for the way I acted' he said . 'its completely fine ,I'm sorry for not telling you' I said . The moonlight shone on his face making me see him better 'i know you cant help but hold back but can you atleast help me understand' he said . I loved that his sensible side took action quite quickly . I opened my mouth to answer when we heard noises of Margaret and David [his parents] stirring and shuffling 'well talk tomorrow' he whispered before walking out and shutting the door behind him . My phone started vibrating , I getting a call from an unkown number . I held the phone for a moment contemplating if I should pick it . I mean it was almost 2 in the morning . I picked it pressing it close to my ear . I could hear sobs making my heart race 'madeline ' someone said . 'hey chloe calm down' I said the second I figured it was her . Her sobs was not calming down 'okay it will be fine,I'm their for you just breathe' i said trying to be quiet . I could hear her calming down . 'thank you' she said her voice shaking. I sighed rubbing my head 'what happened' I asked already knowing I wasn't going to get a straight reply . I'll tell you tomorrow ,sorry for disturbing your sleep' she mumbled and hung up . I went to bed right after she hung up . Realising I was not gonna get much sleep I had texted Blake my coffee order .

Scarlett picked me up since the boys had soccer . I kept quiet as I stared outside the window . My mind was running about chloe and that call ,I couldn't help but think that something terrible had happened . It didn't take long for the girls to realise I was so out of it 'chica you okay' scarlett asked turning but kepping her hands on the wheel 'yeah im good' I replied sharply 'whatever it is you have us' keira said patting my shoulder . I let out a smile for her sake . I rushed out of the car the second she parked . I could hear them yelling behind but my focus was on the fact that Chloe's old gang seemed like they were bullying her . I pushed passed the crowd and grabbed her hand as we walked to the restroom . The second we got in she started crying ,I hugged her ,not really great at the comforting thing . She held on tightly to my shirt . I stroked her back . I let go of her as she slightly pushed me . Her makup had been destroyed and her mascara had smudged making it look like she was ready for Halloween. She had her hands on either side of her hips and sighed 'my dad he' she stuttered . 'okay one sec calm down' I said before whipping out my phone .i called Keira 'where are you' she yelled into the phone 'do me a favour and tell tyler to come to the girls bathroom' i said ignoring her question 'okay i guess' she replied .A few seconds later i heard a knock on the door. Tyler barged in holding Chloe in his arms the second he saw her . I felt awkward and was wondering whether to go when she started talking 'my dad, he has been abusing me since i was a child' she said and my mind could not process what she had said . 'i don't exactly know my mom and he was always a drunkard and drake and ruby I think found out ' she whispered hugging Tyler. 'I've always hated drake' Tyler murmured. While I stood there like an idiot because I had no words. I gave them some space. I got a voicemail from gray saying that he and Blake had gone to clear the air. I walked to the parking lot after getting my psychology assignment from Ms Sarah. She barely came to class and just gave us a bunch of assignments. Which I actually enjoyed so it was fine. I met Tyler on my way out . 'i just wanted to say thank you for being there with Chloe' he said. I felt horrible for not realizing her façade 'i feel bad for not realizing sooner' i said putting on my hoodie . 'i noticed after a party when she was the only person who didn't go in the pool and she kept pulling her sleeves down' he said. I nodded 'do you mind giving me a ride to hard rock café 'i asked realizing I have no ride since Justin and the girls were in class. He nodded getting onto his bike 'hop on' he said revving the engine.
