Chloe's POV
I haven't stopped thinking about Paul and the way he spoke to me the other day. It was two days ago and he still hasn't apologized- selfish bastard. What was his problem anyway? All I did was compliment him on his music. I didn't deserve to be lashed out on like that. What hurts me the most is the fact that he thinks I'm like his desperate hits who do nothing but stalk him around.
"Hey", he said. Speak of the devil and he shall show up. "What do you want?", I asked. He sighed, "I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry about the other day and that I didn't mean to lash out on you that way." "Oh, really?", I asked sarcastically. "Look, I was stressed out and I didn't want any disturbances", he explained. I nodded for him to go on."Ever since my parents became hotshots in the business world they travel around all the time and I feel like they have abandoned me for work. I go to the lake when I want to sing and relieve myself from stress. Seeing someone else there made me feel invaded because I go there for privacy", he said. I was actually feeling sorry for him now, he seemed so sincere and so broken. His bad boy face was replaced with one of a lonely and fragile child. "It's okay, I forgive you", I told him. I felt like I should give him a hug but I didn't want to go overboard so I took his hand in mine instead.
He, on the other hand, had another idea because he let go of my hand and pulled me into a tight embrace. "I needed this", he whispered into my hair. Not more than I did. "Why, what's wrong?", he asked letting me go. "Wait, did I say that out loud or can you read minds?"I asked, shocked. "Yes, you did say it out loud", he chuckled. Shit. He looked at me expectantly, "What?", I asked. "I'm waiting for you to tell me why you needed a hug", he replied. Before I could speak, the warning bell rang and I took that as my chance to escape. "I have to go, bye", I waved and took off. "I'll see you at break time", he called out. "I guess you will", I muttered to myself.
