The good girl is changing me

Chapter twenty-eight - Making her day better

Aaron's POV:

I ruined her life. Chloe will never admit it, but because of me, she lost her friends. I didn't want this to happen. Yes, I enjoyed our date a lot, but I wish that her friends didn't see us there. Now the whole school will know about this and I am sure that people will hate her. I don't want her to suffer because of me, but if I break up with her, this only will make it worse. Moreover, I don't want to. For the first time, I feel happy to be with a girl and I don't want to let her go just like that. I want to be with her and to see how far we can go. Chloe is important to me and now more than ever I have to be with her. She needs me and I will make sure that she is ok and happy. I won't lie that I feel bad for her. Mostly because it's my fault. I mean I am bad news, no matter that I have changed or at least I am trying. 

I woke up next to the cute sleeping Chloe. I looked around and remembered that I am in her house. To be honest, I am surprised that her parents let me stay. Especially her father. Usually, I am not parents' favorite, but how I see hers are different. At least she has ones. I wish that I could say the same about myself, but I haven't heard from my parents for months. Not like I want to. I know that they are ok because I receive my monthly money. I guess that this is their type of care. After all, every parent understands the word care differently. How I see money is the way my parents think is the right way to show care. 

It was only 6:30 am. I slightly kissed Chloe's cheek and got up. It will be better if I go home. Just because her parents were nice last night, it doesn't mean that they always will be. Moreover, when they hear what I have done before I met their daughter, I don't think that they will let me be with her anymore. Of course, I will fight for her, but I don't want Chloe to argue with her parents as well. The fact that she lost her friends is enough. I don't want her to lose someone else. 

I walked downstairs and was about to go when someone called me. I turned around and saw her father. If it's what I think, I am in trouble. Well, I am not surprised. When I haven't been? Ok, for the last two weeks I am totally clean. Mostly, I do it because of Chloe. I know that she doesn't like when I fight. Neither me if I have to be honest. 

- Where are you going that early? - Chloe's father asked me

- I'm going home. It's better if I'm not here. 

- Why? I don't think that Chloe will like it. 

- But you will. 

- And why do you think like that?

- Because I am in trouble, right? - I asked and he laughed

- Boy, I am not mad at you, neither will yell. First, Chloe is sleeping, second, she won't like it and third, you are not that bad. 

- So I am clean?

- Yes, you are. Now come sit. I'll make coffee. 

I walked after him and both of us went into the kitchen. I thought that he will be mad, but he was very nice to me. Too nice if you ask me. I don't mind, because usually, people treat me horribly, but I deserve it. I have done many things, which I shouldn't. 

- Here, take this. I hope that you drink coffee. 

- Yes, I do. Thank you, sir. 

- Now, I want you to tell me something about you. After all, I want to know why my daughter chose you. 

- Well, in that case, I will be honest with you. Before Chloe, I was getting in a lot of trouble. Like skipping classes, going late. I have also picked up fights. For some reason, people find it funny to make fun of my friends. I don't like that. To be honest, I have only one best friend and this is more than enough for me. I know him since we were little. People talk many bad things about me and have spread rumors, which weren't true, or at least not all of them. This is how your daughter came to me one day. She wanted to know, which of them were true. Let me say that she was angry. From her, I understood what people in her school talk about me. I think that I know who is spreading them, but I'm not sure if is this person. 

- Your life is not easy. 

- I know, but at least now I am happy. Before, I couldn't say that. 

Mister Green was about to say something when his wife came and sat with us. She gave him a look and I chuckled. Don't worry miss Green. We are just talking. It's not an interrogation. 

- Can I know what are you two talking about?

- Me. I was telling your husband the truth. 

- The truth about what?

- Who I am. I don't think that he is pleased with what he heard, but at least I was honest. 

- Maybe your parents should show better care. - he said and I laughed

- What is funny? - she asked

- My parents. I'm sorry, I forgot that you don't know that. I don't like to talk about them. For me they are dead. - I said and both of them looked at me

- But why? Did they do something?

- Let's say that... I don't even know where they are. When I was like 13, almost 14, my parents moved to another town close to ours, because they have an office there. They were traveling a lot and finally decide to buy a house. Since then, I live alone in my home. They only send me money every month. That is their care and the reason why I don't like them. When I needed them, they weren't there. Now, even if they come back, it'll be too late. I learned to do everything alone. Probably this is the reason why I was in so much trouble. There was no one to tell me that what I do is wrong. It's not like I didn't know it. I just didn't care. For no one. Maybe a little bit for my best friend, but that was. Then thanks to Chloe, I started to pay attention to myself and take care. I stopped getting in trouble only because of her. I told her from the beginning that I am bad news, but she said that she doesn't care. At least I warned her. Everything else was at her own risk. 

I heard steps and turned around to see Chloe. She was sitting on the stairs. I wonder from how long she is there and how much she has heard. She came to me, gave me a kiss, sat down, and snuggled. I don't know what is going on with her, but I like that she is in good mood. 

- I see that someone is in good mood. - I said and she looked at me

- I am. Mostly because you didn't go home. 

- How do you...?

- Because I know you. I was sure that you would go home to escape talking with my parents, mostly with dad, because you thought that he would be mad. 

This girl can read me like a book. I don't know should I be happy or worried. Chloe's parents looked at her and she gave them a smile. Then she got up and soon came back with plates. We looked at her. 

- What? I am hungry. - she said and I laughed

All of us had breakfast. I don't know who made it, but it was delicious. This is a privilege to live with your parents. I cook by myself, but I am happy. Not like I cook something complicated. Sometimes, I skip breakfast. People say that this is the most important meal for the day, but I don't feel it. 

- Do you have plans for lunch and where will you be?

- I don't and where I am always. 

- Good. We can eat at the coffee shop in front of the school. Well, if you want. 

- I don't mind, but I have to tell you that Dani might come as well. 

- It's ok. He is welcome. After all, this is not a date. I just don't want to be in school. 

- I know. Don't worry, you can always come to eat your lunch with us. 

When Chloe was done with her breakfast, I walked her to school. A couple of people gave her a look, which means that the whole school knows about us. I don't know is it from her friends or there is someone else who has seen us. I looked at her and saw the sadness in her eyes. I gave her a hug and she rested her head on my chest. To be honest, I don't want to let her go, but I can't keep her for myself. I hope that everything will be ok. 

- It's better if you go. We can talk at lunch. 

Chloe didn't say anything. She kissed me and walked away. I know that this will be hard, but she has to get through it. I won't leave her alone in this. When she walked into school, I walked to mine. Dani was waiting for me as usual. I told him the short version of everything and he wasn't very pleased to hear it. I mean this is not something nice. It's horrible. To hate someone only because they are dating a person who you don't like. 

On the lunch break, Dani and I walked to Chloe's school. Just like she said, she came to us and we walked to the coffee shop. Both with Dani ordered coffee and she a juice. I looked at her and immediately understood what is going on. People are ignoring her and nobody wants to talk with her. I can't imagine how Chloe is feeling right now. The fact that I am guilty of all of this, is not helping. I wish that I could help her, but I don't know-how. If I appear in her school, this only will make it worse. 

- Chloe, are you ok? You can tell me if there is a problem. 

- I'm fine. Better than ever. - she said annoyed

- You don't look like that. How bad is it?

- It could be worse. People are ignoring me and giving me looks like I did a crime. I shouldn't expect something different. 

- What about the girls? - Dani asked

- Well, they don't want to talk with me or at least Katy. For some reason when I look at Kayla, I see guilt in her eyes, but I don't know why. She is not responsible for any of this. 

- Maybe because she is your true friend and somehow wants to help you. 

- I don't know and maybe that is better. 

After a while, Chloe walked back to school. I told her that I will wait for her here when she finish her last class. This is what she did, but this time she was sad. I saw tears in her eyes. I carefully wiped them and gave her a hug. I don't know what has happened, but I am sure that someone has talked with her. I put my hands on her waist and kissed her right in front of everyone. They will see. I won't let them bring my girl down. If they don't stop treating her badly, I will do something and they won't like it. When we pulled apart, I grabbed her hand and both of us walked home. We went into the kitchen and I gave her a glass of water. 

- Will you tell me what happened?

- Katy is now with Lindsay and Ricky. She has joined their friend circle. I bet that she has told them everything about me. I can't believe that she will do something like that. 

- Are you sure that they know everything?

- No, but now she hates me. I won't be surprised if she has done it. 

- I know that you don't like her now, but you can't accuse her if you don't know anything. 

- It's just... I feel like all that I have built is gone. The only thing that left me is you. - she said looking at me with tears in her eyes

I carefully wiped them and gave her a hug. She slowly broke down in my arms. I hate to see her like that. It makes my wish to help her bigger. When she pulled apart, I looked her in the eyes and gave her a kiss. I didn't mean it to be so long, but I guess that she was needing it. Moreover, I won't lie that I like kissing her. The bad boy was going to take advantage of that but now is not the right moment. Chloe needs comfort, not a make-out. I thought that she will break the kiss, but instead, she sat on my lap and wrapped her hands around my neck. I don't know what she is doing, but I like it very much. Soon I pulled apart to catch my breath. I looked at her and she gave me an innocent smile. 

- Can I know what was that?

- I can't be always sad. Moreover, I am a girl and every girl has her needs. 

- It's better if you stop now because that might go in the wrong direction. 

- Why? I have never had a make-out so now I have the chance. Don't you want to do it?

- I do, but... you need comfort, not a make-out. I just want to make you feel better. 

- Then do it. 

- Are you sure? I don't want to make you do something, which you don't like. 

- One day, this was going to happen. 

- Ok, then. It's at your own risk. - I said and picked her up

I walked into my bedroom and laid her down. When I closed the door, I laid down next to her. I gave her a look and in return received a smirk. I don't know what is going on with her today, but if she continues like that, I don't know will I be able to control myself. She came close and kissed me. Very soon she was under me, trying to get off my shirt. I smiled through the kiss and helped her. I saw how she checked me out. I mean this is the first time when I am half-naked in front of her. Chloe licked her lips, which wasn't a good idea. This turned me on even more. I kissed her again. She wrapped her hands around my neck and hooked her legs around my waist. I gladly would give her a hickey, but I will take it slowly with her. 

- I can go like that all day. 

- I don't mind. I am all yours so you can do whatever you want with me. I won't complain. 

I made out with her a little more and then laid down. I was about to put my shirt back on, but she stopped me. Instead, Chloe laid her head on my chest and snuggled. I love this girl. Even the smallest things feel better with her. 

- You know that I love you, right?

- I do, but I have never expected you to say it. 

- Now I am saying it. I love you. 

- I love you too. - she said and kissed me

The rest of the day, we spent at home. Around 10 pm, I walked Chloe home. She wanted to go alone, but I didn't let her. It's dark and there are many freaks outside. I don't want something to happen to her. I caused enough problems in her life. She doesn't need more. Later, I walked home and laid in the empty bed. I wish that Chloe was here. She knows how to make someone feel better. I won't lie that I enjoyed the afternoon with her a lot. Well, I didn't expect the make-out, but I am glad that it happened. For me, it means that she trusts me. I hope that I can make her happy because I love her.
