His Proposal

His Proposal - 85

Nate hasn't spoken to me since the article came out four days ago and I miss my brother talking to me.

I walk into Aleysa's room and look at the pamphlet of Camp Tranquillity one last time.

This place might be what I need right now. I need to get away from everything happening in Los Angeles.

Jai walks into the room and he sits next to me. "The limo is here. My family and I want to ride with you to the funeral home."

"I was thinking that I would drive myself. I don't want to be near Nate right now. Can you please take care of him?"

Jai rises. "I will." He walks out of the room.

I pull my phone out of my pocket and give Camp Tranquility a call.

Voice: Hello, this is Missy.

Me: Hi, I am calling because I was given this brochure after my sister died. I was wondering if I could be there tomorrow?

Missy: Sure, what's your name.

Me: Chloe Knight.

Missy: Thank you for calling. We will see you tomorrow, Chloe.

Hanging up the phone I walk to Jai and my bedroom. I pack a duffel bag and my mother's diary. I put in the laptop that Jai brought me recently.

There's a notepad on the nightstand and I pick up a pen and start writing a letter to Jai and letting him know where I'm going.

I know he's not going to be happy with me just taking off, but I hope he respects my decision.

I need to get going to the funeral.

Picking up the duffel bag I walk to the front door and lock it before walking to the car.

A few reporters block my way and they yell things at me.

I try to ignore everything they say, but it becomes too much when they flock you. "Excuse me. I need to get to my car." I open the backseat and throw the duffel bag in the back. I climb into the driver's seat and reverse the car.

***

If I thought my house was a madhouse with the reporters my sisters funeral is a lot worse. There are different cars parked in the street and when I park the car they surround the car.

How am I supposed to get out of the car with all these people around me?

My phone starts ringing and I look at the caller ID and see 'Jai's' name flash across the phone. I put the phone on loudspeaker.

Me: Hey, Jai.

Jai: I sent a few guys over to help you.

Me: Thank you.

I put the phone back in my handbag and step out of the car once the crowd has been pulled away from the car.

"Whore," someone yells and a roll of toilet paper is thrown at me.

A few other choice words are thrown at me by other females as I make my way to the last place I will see my sister. After this service, I will be gone.

All these women won't have anyone to hate while I'm away.

Jai walks over to me. He wraps his arms around me and he looks into the crowd. "All of you have been given the wrong information. I was never engaged to marry anyone before I met Chloe." He looks at me. "The woman standing next to me means the world to me and you keep wanting to bring her down because of some jealous female that wanted me for herself. It's because of her that my beautiful kind fiancé isn't looking the best. I haven't had any problems with you in my life and since you've started listening to lies, it's become a problem. I will be suing all your companies and a selected few women who violated my personal life. Recently I had an investigation conducted on the source for your information. I can tell you the person wasn't smart enough to cover their tracks. I have a funeral to get to. If you all aren't gone soon the authorities will remove you." He walks with me into the small room where my sister's body lies in a coffin.
