BLS #7: BREAKING THE LAST

Chloe Regens

As I woke up this morning Nic already gone. He wrote me a small note telling me that he has an important meeting. I was hoping to see him the first thing in the morning because today is my birthday.

“Chloe.. are you okay?” I turned to Angel and I smiled.

“Oh I’m fine.. I think I just need coffee.”

“Go buy it then.. it’s already lunch time too. Any plans with Nic?” She asked and I shook my head.

“No.. he has a meeting, do you want anything? I’m going to starbucks?” I asked her and she shook her head.

“No thanks Chloe, Alex is picking me up because he wants to have a lunch together.” She said.

“Okay then.. bye Angel, see you in a few hours.” I smiled, taking my bags and walked out from the office. Get into the lift and go to the lobby. As he lift opens, Alex already standing there.

“Hey Chloe.”

“Hey Alex.”

“Are you going somewhere? With Nic?” He smirked and I shook my head.

“I’m going to starbucks.”

“Where is that bastard?” He asked.

“Meeting.” I said.

“Geez.. it’s lunch time and he’s still doing his meeting.” Alex hissed and I smiled.

“Angel is waiting.. go.” I said and waved to him. I walked out from Angel’s building making my way to starbucks. I need coffee.. damn I need coffee.

“Chloe?” I turned my head and saw Emma.

“What?”

“Can we talk?” She asked and I found myself nodding. We walked to starbucks together but none of us talk. Until we ordered our drink and sat at the corner of the room.

“I’m sorry.” She started and I sighed.

“I was stupid to cheat with Xander and I’m just jealous with you because you have everything that I want and I’m obsess with Xander until I seduce him and ending up having his kid.” She rubbed her belly.

“Jealous? Jealous of what Emma? That doesn’t explain things.” I asked her.

“You’re beautiful, smart and you have Xander. You always have more than me.” She looked down.

“But betraying me like that Emma.. I never thought you will do that to me. With Xander?”

“I was happy when I take Xander from you but as the time goes by I felt guilty.” She said and I looked away.

“So now you’re planning to take Nic away from me now? What are you planning to take again?” I asked.

“I’m sorry Chloe, I will never do that again. Even now Xander still likes and wanting to take you back but seeing you with Nic at the fair makes him back off knowing that you already have someone else.” I sighed and I looked at her.

“Just live your life Emma, I don’t want to see you again for awhile maybe I can contact you when I’m ready.” I said and she suddenly taking out something from her bag.

“Happy birthday Chloe, I was going to call you today wanting to apologize but we bumped to each other. Sorry it’s not wrap yet but Happy Birthday Chloe.” I looked at my favorite candle, we both used to use this everytime we have sleepovers.

“Thanks.”

“I hope you have a great birthday today, I’m sorry Chloe. I really want your forgiveness Chloe, I’m sorry but I know it’s hard for you to forgive that.”

“Maybe one day I will but not now.” I said and she nodded.

“I’ll better get going Chloe, once again Sorry and happy birthday.” She said and then she left. I held the candle and smelled it. I miss this and our moments together but things change.

My phone rang and I took it out from my bag quickly. I looked at the caller ID and it’s Nic.

“Hey Nic.” I answered.

“Where are you?”

“At starbucks near Angel’s office why?”

“Oh.”

“Why? Is everything okay?” I asked worry.

“I need to tell you something.”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Okay what is it?” I asked.

“I’m sorry Chloe..” I raised my eyebrows as he suddenly apologizing.

“What’s wrong? What do you mean saying that?”

“Can you come to my office?”

“Is everything okay? Don’t leave me hanging like that!” I asked seriously.

“Just come to the office Chloe.” After that he ended the call, now I became panic and afraid. I quickly walked out from starbucks and took the taxi to Nic’s office. I gulped nervously and kept biting my nails on the way there.

I literally sweating right now.. the ride on the way there felt so long. As soon as I arrive there, I quickly ran to the lift and go up to his office. I ran to his office and only found Max standing there.

“Max! Is everything okay?” I bursted and he looked at me with his eyes widen.

“Uhmm..”

“Max!”

“Hey Chloe don’t panic okay? Let’s go to meeting room.” He said and he lead me to the meeting room. I gulped nervously and he gestured me to open the door. I opened the door but the room is really dark when suddenly it lights up.

“Happybirthday!” My eyes widen as they shouted it together, my eyes were teary and I can’t help but smile.

“Awwwww happy birthday!” Angel hugged me and the girls hugged me really tightly.

“I thought something happen to Nic.. oh my god.” I covered my face because tears were coming from my eyes.

“See! I told you that your idea is stupid.” I heard Sky said.

“Don’t cry Chloe, it’s your birthday!!” Hailey said and I nodded.

“Sis.” I looked up to see my brother and parents were here too, my eyes lighted up and I hugged my parents first.

“Happy birthday, my little Chloe.” My mom said.

“Happy birthday to my pumpkin pie.” My dad said and I smiled.

“Thankyou.”

“Happy birthday my not-so-little-Chloe.” I jumped to Jack and hugged him tightly.

“I thought you forget about it.”

“Our turn.” Sebastian said and he hugged me.

“Happy birthday fat Chloe.” I smacked Sebastian for mocking me that.

“My turn.. Happybirthday Chloes!” Luke said and I hugged him.

“Thanks Lukey and Sebastians.” I smiled.

“Happy birthday kiddo.” Max ruffled my hair and I glared at him. He hugged me.

“Thanks old man.”

“Happy birthday Regens” Aaron said and pinched my cheek.

“I’m not a kid you ugly man.” I smacked his hand away and he hugged me.

“Thankyou by the way.” I smiled.

“Happy birthdayyyyyy oh my you’re 23. You were 12 back then!” Alex said girly and I rolled my eyes. He hugged me and I chuckled.

“Thanks Alex.”

“Happy birthday Chloeyss!” Sky hugged me and ruffled my hairz

“Thankyou Blue Sky.” I chuckled. I turned to Nic and he’s holding the cake awkwardly. I raised my eyebrows.

“Don’t be shy Nic.” Nic glared to Max.

“Sorry for what you asshole? I was panicked, sweating on the way here worrying about you.” I glared at him.

“That’s why I’m saying sorry Chloe.”

“You’re a bastard.” I hissed and he smiled.

“Happy birthday Chloe.” Sophia lighted up the candles and they turned off the lights.

“Let’s sing it.”

“Happy birthday Chloe.. Happy birthday Chloe.. Happy birthday happy birthday Chloe..” They sang and I can’t help but smile widely. I’m so happy and here I thought they forgot about my birthday.

“Make a wish and blow up the candles.” Nic said and I closed my eyes. I made a wish inside my heart and as I opened my eyes I looked at Nic smiling widely.

“Let’s be happy.” I said to him straight foward not caring that there’s my family watching.

“Happy Birthday Chloe.. I love you.” My eyes widen as he said that. My eyes started to tear up big time.

“Let me hold that.” Alex took the cake away before I get to blow the candles up. I hugged Nic tightly and cried on his shoulder.

“Okay why are you crying?” He patted my back but he made me cry more.

“It’s your birthday.. hey why are you crying?” He whispered.

“You said you love me.” I sobbed.

“And why are you crying little kid?” I smacked him.

“I’m not a kid you asshole! I turned 23 today!” I sobbed and he chuckled.

“You’re my little one, I love you” He said it again and I looked into his eyes. I crashed my lips to his.

“Chloe, save that things at home” I chuckled and smiled.

“Now let’s blow that candle sis.” I nodded and Alex gave Nic back the cake. I blew it and they clapped their hands. I’m so happy and can’t believe this is happening.

My eyes widen as Nic put the cream into my face.

“You!” I glared and took the cake cream to his face too.. not just him but to all of my friends too.
