Best Friends and More

Chapter 5

After taking care of my clients for the day I finally get to go home and see everyone. Before I start driving I send a text to Joseph that I’m on my way home and then I start on my way home. When I get home I see Jonas’ truck and Aaron's car parked in front of my house and I’m so excited for the trip. 

Using my keys to get inside I’m tackled into a hug from Nha and Emma, “Can’t breathe y’all.” I wheeze out at them and they let me go. 

“Chloe it's been so long.” said Nolan, “What's the plan now?” 

“Well I’m assuming that everyone has their stuff in you truck Jonas and all we need to do is figure out who is going with who. I do have to change out of my scrubs but then I’m good. While I change y’all figure out who's going with who. My car and Jonas’ truck are going to be taking us. I did give you the directions, right Jonas?”

“Yes you did.”

While I walk to my room I hear them start to talk about everything. ‘Time to change into something more comfy. How about my grey hoodie, jeggings, and my boots? Yep that sounds perfect. Now I have to actually change.’ As I change my jeans to jeggings and start to take my scrubs off. I take it off in a weird way that I thought would make me move faster but damn was I wrong. Both of my arms got caught above my head with the top covering my face. ‘Of course this happens now of all times.’ I can’t get out and my struggles were useless in my escape. “Nha! Emma! Help!” I yell.

“Um… Chloe, they left with Jonas. The only ones here are Aaron, Keaton and I. Are you okay?”

“I got stuck in my scrub top and can’t escape. I need some help. Can you get Aaron?”

“They would be outside making sure that we all have enough space in your car. Let me go…” 

“No. We need to be on the road soon. Can you just help me?” I ask with my face heating up a little bit.

“Sure.” he says with hesitation. The door slowly opens and I can hear Joseph moving to stand in front of me. He chuckles, probably due to the position I’m in. “How the actual f**k did you accommplish this?” 

“Could you not laugh and just help. I’ve no idea how this happened.”

“Alright try to put your hands up as much as possible and I’ll pull your shirt off.” 

I do as he says and put my arms up as straight as possible, which wasn’t very far. I feel the warmth of his hands pulling my shirt off my head. “Well hello there, beautiful.” he smirks at me. I can feel my cheeks heat up slowly at the compliment, “Thanks for the help Joseph.” I realize how close we actually are as we stare into each other's eyes. His dark brown eyes have bits of hazel and green that I have never noticed before and before I knew it we can hear Keaton yelling at us to hurry up. I’m the first one to look away, “Let me grab my shirt, phone, walet, and keys then I’m ready to go. Joseph looks at me one last time and starts to walk to my door. When I think that he leaves I turn my back to my door to grab my shirt and put it on. Grabbing my phone, keys, and walet I head to my car. As I start the car Joseph gives me a sideways glance and I raise my eyebrow at him but he just shrugs. ‘Okay that was weird. I’ll ask him what's up later. Time to start the hour-long drive.’ 

“So Chloe, how has life been?” asked Keaton. 

“Same old same old. How has it been going with you and Aaron?’” I said with a smirk and a wink at them making Keaton’s face turn pinkish and Aaron to smirk at him. With Aaron smirking at Keaton and Keaton sending him an evil glare. ‘Damn, drama in the car already.’
