Chloe's Pov
After a long day at school, I went home and got freshened up, then decided to go to the grocery store.
At 5 pm, I went to the grocery store. I was at grocery store searching for some pasta, when my phone rang. I received the call without noticing who it was.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Hey babe"
"Zoey?"
"Yeah, when will you get home?"
"In 20 minutes. Why?"
"I am waiting for you baby"
"Don't call me that and why are you waiting for me?" I had no idea what was going on.
"You will get used to it, baby. Alice is out with friends, so I thought we could use some time alone"
"Are you crazy? There's nothing going on between us!" I yelled because Zoey was crossing the line.
"Really? Well, if there is nothing going on between us then how come you was moaning my name yesterday? You know when we were fucking"
"Zoey-" "You looked like you were enjoying my company. I am not surprised though, I made you come in a way that Leah never did"
"Don't drag Leah into this! Do you understand you crazy bitch?!"
"Chloe-" I interrupted her "No, shut the fuck up. The only reason why that happened was because you were blackmailing me!"
"Newsflash, I am in charge here, not you. Come home and do what you gotta do because if not I will destroy you. Already everyone at school hates you. You don't wanna get declared as the official slut who cheated on her girlfriend then slept with her sisters girlfriend. Now do you Chloe?" Then she hung up.
After hearing those harsh words come out of her mouth I felt like my whole world was falling apart. I felt betrayed, shattered and lonely. I didn't want to recognize as the slut at school. But I also can't just fuck Zoey and let her cheat on Alice. I didn't know what to do. So I decided to end it all.
. . .
I am standing at a bridge, my face looks like shit for crying so much. I think I lost everything and everyone valuable to me. Leah thinks I cheated on her, she even beat the shit out of me. Everyone at school hates me after people find out 'I cheated on Leah'. And Zoey was blackmailing me to do things for her. There was no point of being alive for me. Should I end it? Shall I just jump? Numb the pain?
Checking my phone for one last time, I saw the old pictures of me. Being happy and living my best life, but now everything was ruined. Suddenly I received a bunch of notifications from Twitter.
I opened my Twitter and saw a tons of tweets from the people of my school. It was about me cheating on Leah obviously.
What a pathetic whore.
You never loved Leah, you just wanted the attention.
Cheaters don't deserve to live.
You should die!
This people had no idea what they were talking about. The more I was scrolling down, the more tears were falling down my eyes. I have to end it. I have to end the pain. I was about to turned off my phone but it started ringing. I saw it was Ivy. I miss her. Maybe I should talk to her for one last time.
I took a deep breath and accepted the call "Hey" I said.
"CHLOE, thank god. You received the call. I was sick worried for you!"
"What happened?"
"You don't know what happened!!? Did you not see the tweets. The fucking tweets! I swear Chloe we have to tell the people, what they're thinking about you is not the truth. We have to tell them the actual truth!"
"No Ivy, we already talked about it. Let them think whatever they want to think about me. I don't care, if I know that I didn't do anything wrong then I didn't"
"Promise me, you'll never care about what those people think about you and you'll never do something stupid over it" Ivy asked me to promise her, like she already knew that I was going to do something to hurt myself. I didn't answer.
"Promise me Chloe, you'll never leave me! No matter what happens" At this moment I felt how hurt she was and her voice was shaking.
"I promise, I'll never leave you" I promised her because I can't see her like this.
"Love you, cookie."
"Love you too"
"See you tomorrow"
"Bye" I hung up the phone.
Ivy was the last person who actually cared for me and literally saved my life. I changed my mind and decided that, I have to be strong and fix this mess. I can't just give up. I have to confront Zoey and ask her about her intentions behind the blackmailing.
--------------------------------------
It was getting dark. I was 5 minutes away from my apartment. I tried to call Alice to know, if she was already home or not. Because I didn't want to deal with Zoey alone. But unfortunately she didn't answer my calls.
I took out the key, opened the apartment door. As I got inside, it was silent. Maybe Zoey has left and Alice didn't return yet. My thoughts got interrupted, as someone pushed me to the wall, my back hit some painting and I heard the glass break. Her hand found it's way to neck and gripped it. I looked at her but she immediately smashed her lips on me. She hungrily kissed my lips.
"I knew, you'll come" She whispered into my ear.
"Z-zoey please don't. If you love Alice you shouldn't cheat on her" I manage to say those words as her grip on my neck got tighter.
"What if I tell you, I never loved her" She chuckle.
"Y-you are kidding right? If you don't love her then why are you dating her?" I was impatiently waiting for her reply. She let go of my neck and starts laughing crazily.
"Because of you babygirl, I love you" I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
"This can't be the truth! If you loved me, you would have said it to me earlier"
At this point she stopped laughing. She grabbed my face pretty roughly "What do you think I didn't try?" She let go of my face and continued "You were so blindly in love with Leah that you never noticed my love for you!"
"I was that unknown person who send you flowers everyday and when Alice treated you badly, I was the only one defending you. But when you and Leah became official, I stopped trying because Leah is my best friend and she was happy with you or I thought so! You fucking cheated on her!" She shouted at me.
As every word was coming out of her mouth, I felt like the most blinded person ever 'Blindly in love with Leah'.
"I decided to date Alice so that I can stay in touch with you" She continued "Everytime Leah did something which hurt you, I tried to be there for you. That night.." She stopped for a while, took a deep breath and continued "When she raped you, I felt very bad for you and I wanted to look after you, if you're doing fine, but I was also kind of happy that at least you don't love her. I can now have you all for myself" I just stared at her like a fool.
"But you shouldn't have played with Alice's feelings like that.. she really loves you" I stated.
"Why do you care? She treated you like shit, she deserves to get her heart broken at least for once" She just rolled her eyes.
"No one deserves to get their heart broken specially by the person who they love and care the most" I told her, obviously referring to a certain person.
"I can't do anything about it right now, I just did what my heart told me to and see at the end of the day, you're mine" She clearly don't regret a thing.
"Sorry Zoey, but I'm not yours. I'm really sorry that I didn't understand your feelings earlier, but deep inside of my heart I still have feelings for Leah. I am not ready to move on, " I said what I was feeling.
But I guess she didn't liked my answer. Her mood changed, her eyes got darker like she was going to eat me alive. I am scared for what happens next.
"Zoey-" I'm interrupted by stinging feeling in my left cheek.
I feel tears brimming my eyes, oddly I still don't flinch at her when she puts her hands on my cheeks cupping them.
"Chloe you're mine, no matter what happens. I lose you once and I don't want to lose you this time ok? I don't like hurting you" I can see in her eyes that she was also hurt.
She changes emotions in a blink of an eye, it is making me confused as hell though I won't show it.
"Now don't be mad I hit you, just be a good girl for me" She says starting to grip the back of my neck bringing her lips to mine in a rough angry kiss showing me how she felt.
"I love you" She told me venomously against my lips.
I stayed quiet because I didn't wanted to say anything that might make her mad.
"Don't make me do that ever again" She tells me pleadingly with hopefully needy eyes staring into mine.
I nodded quietly.
