BLS #7: BREAKING THE LAST

Chloe Regens

“I’m so happy that you decided to settle down in New York.” She hugged me as she arrived at my apartment and I chuckled.

“I know right.”

“So tell me.. is there something wrong?” She asked as I took an apple juice for her.

“Can I ask you something?”

“Of course anything.” She said as I sat across her.

“It’s about Ken.”

“What about him?”

“Can you tell me everything you know about him?” I asked.

“Why do you want to know suddenly?” She asked smriking.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“After I threw Marissa water and food, he followed me and took me to the Top of The Rock Observation Deck. He opened up to me a little bit and from that point I heard a little bit from Alissa and Angel.”

“From that moment you got curious?” She smiled and I nodded.

“He’s the most hard to reach, the leader, the most caring, cold outside but warm inside and don’t forget that he’s really smart. He’s a genius Chloe, I swear I don’t know where he got that brain but he’s genius.. damn.”

“He’s a really introvert person so he rarely tells everyone how he feels, what he wants, what he doesn’t like, what he likes.. no one ever knows. You can say that he’s heartless. It’s like he doesn’t have any feelings towards people.”

“Does he ever have a girlfriend or something? Why he hate love so much and avoiding it like it’s a deadly virus?” I asked, Rose chuckled.

“Only the boys know, no one ever knows that. They tell each other secrets together and it only stays with them, it won’t leak out. Only the boys know about each other condition and even their dark past.” Rose answered.

“This might sound stupid Rose but.. I just want to know him. He seems so lonely and all he thinks is others and never think about himself. All he said was the boys.. boys and boys.

”

“They’re like brothers. Their friendship is thicker than blood, they love each other more like brothers so yeah he cares about them so much.”

“Did someone ever try to reach him?” I asked and Rose chuckled.

“Ken senses people fast Chloe, he made that people back off and even give up before they even start.” What?

“Is Ken crazy?”

“There must be a reason Chloe, but he’s a really great guy. Good guy and I wonder who will break him in the end.”

“Break him?” I asked curiously.

“I’m a little bit sad when I see him, he’s lonely but he tried not to be lonely. Do you get what I mean? He’s lonely Chloe, he doesn’t have anyone beside the boys.” That got my heart break, how can he live alone in this world alone? Protecting other but he doesn’t care about himself.

“Why is he like that?” I asked.

“Ask the boys but.. I doubt anyone will answer that.” Rose said and she got a point.

“He told me to not come to his office often and if I need something let’s just meet outside.”

“He said that? He really said that? Like seriously?”

“What’s wrong with that?” I asked not understanding.

“He never said that to anyone and this is the first time I heard it. He told you to meet you outside if you need something? Like what?” Rose looked at me disbelief.

“Yeah.”

“Don’t tell me that he has a crush on you?”

“No way Rose.. that’s impossible!”

“Why not? He never does that!” Rose squealed and I shook my head.

“Or do you have an interest in him?” Rose narrowed her eyes to me and gave me a really weird eyes.

“No.”

“I have an idea!” Rose suddenly said out of nowhere.

“What?”

“You’re so lucky because you talked to me this moment. Max is a nature lover and he has a big cabin in Tennessee! Let’s go on a vacation and see Ken’s interaction with you.” She squealed as she took out her phone.

“I just got work Rose, How can I-” She asked me to stay silent.

“Hey baby.. We need a holiday.. Yes I got stress, can we go to your cabin in Tennessee? We can? Can my girls come along? Of course you all should too.. Ken too.. Can Chloe come too? Oh come on! We rarely have a holiday.. last time you went on a holiday without me.” Rose is really good persuading her husband. Of course Max loves her so much, if Rose wants him to buy the earth maybe he will.

“I’m so excited! Thankyou babe, I love you.” She ended the call and I raised my eyebrows.

“We’ll so going there, how about next week? We’ll stay there for 1 week.” She squealed.

“Okay, let’s book a jet or an airplane ticket.”

“No! No planes babe, car.”

“What? Are you sure Rose? It’s quite far and the boys will get tired.” I said.

“We’ll use a jeep and asked them drive, 1 car 2 couples.” She squealed.

“I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

“We can stop if we’re tired, don’t worry Chloe. It’s been a really long time since we got holiday. They worked like crazy and we worked like crazy, we need a refreshing week.” She held my hand and patted it.

“Don’t worry, we’re going to have fun! We’ll help you to reach Ken a little bit.”

“I don’t mean tha-”

“Chloe, thankyou for being curious and asking about Ken. He needs that but he’s just stupid to deny things like that.

“Thankyou.” She smiled and I nodded.

“I don’t know why I just care, I don’t know what got me into this but it’s just his friends are happy when he’s not.”

“Thankyou Chloe.. I hope he can open up with you.” She smiled and I don’t know if this trip will be fun or a disaster?
