I don't know for how long I've been sitting here, staring out into the distance, feeling quite numb after I had let out so much. I still have no desire to go back home, I want to remain here all alone, for just a little while.

" Chloe?"

' Oh gosh, can't I just catch a break?'

I turn to Callie, who comes my way, slowly might I add, as if she's afraid.

" Why are you sitting here alone?" She asks, looking around as if she's expecting someone to show up.

" What do you want Callie?" I speak up, wanting to know her intention for talking to me right now.

She doesn't say anything at first but looks down, wriggling her fingers together before she sighs and looks up at me again.

I watch her open and close her mouth, words failing her.

" What happened last night at the party was planned, you weren't meant to be there, but a picture to be sent to you. A picture of Amber and -----------"

" I told you to tell them to back off."

" That's what pissed her off, she thought of it as a challenge. I didn't think there was actually something between you and Wesley and that's why I thought, Amber was overreacting. "

" You didn't take her seriously and so you gave her my number." I say.

" Y-yeah, I did. " She says, surprised. " I know I shouldn't have, and I know you might not talk to me ever again or forgive me, but I'm ----------"

" Why did you do it?" I cut her off, knowing that there is something more to this.

" I - I thought I told you."

" You're hiding something, I know you are, and it's the real reason why you were part of all this."

Guilt suddenly takes over her face.

She quickly sits beside me on the bench, but keeps a good distance between us. At first, she doesn't say anything but keeps silent, after some time she speaks up.

" I had an affair with Ethan." A part of me is surprised while the other is not.

" Did Amber put you up to it, as some revenge plot for someone pissing her off?"

" No." She shakes her head no. " I just - we are inlove with each other."

" Are you sure about that?"

" Yes, and we have been, for a long time. I found out rather too late, when Ethan had found someone else due to the thought that I never felt the same. Amber knew that both ends had genuine feelings for each other but she used it for her gain, and now I lost the -----------"

" Where are you going with all of this?" I cut her off.

" I won't waste your time. Look Chloe, I lost my senses and fell into the trap of losing sight of who I am, without being close to anyone, when I befriended Amber. You were right about my friendship with her, in not so many ways, you warned me.

But you know, I can't exactly put all the blame on her, because I'm the one who had the affair, I'm the one who betrayed and lied."

" No, you and Ethan, don't let him off the hook. He played a part too. He knew what he was doing when he got involved with you, knowing he should have stayed true to his commitment to his girlfriend.

As much as I'm not a fan of those barbies, but she doesn't deserve what you guys did to her. No girl is, especially if she has true feelings for him."

" I know." She says. " And I also know that you are speaking on behalf of yourself too, because you have feelings for Wesley."

I look away, not saying anything.

She sighs. " Look, Chloe, you're the most genuine friend I've ever had. I took our friendship for granted, because I wanted to please everyone around me. I was mostly myself around you, and I admit that at times, I was afraid to be just that girl in highschool.

I wanted to be someone else and be known, to be among the admired and therefore, I got lost in the thrill, and forgot who Callie truly is. I also admit that I was a little jealous of you, because you don't care about impressing others or being noticed, you live for you, you're fearless and strong."

I start to shake my head in protest. " No, you are, everyone who's taken notice of you knows. I believe that's part of what Wesley likes too. "

I turn to face her, about to tell her to not mention Wesley, but she continues. " Oh, and you're quite stubborn. You're still angry with him because it's no longer just about what you saw anymore, but the fact that your feelings are still strong for him, despite what happened.

You're simply angry at yourself mostly."

I blink at her. " Who are you ?" I'm not trying to be funny but just surprised.

She chuckles. " I'm Callie, the girl who was supposed to be a true friend to you, the one who knows you more than I've known that cheerleading team, or Amber......"

" Something has changed, hasn't it?" I say above a whisper.

Emotion swirls in her eyes and I watch her blink back tears, smiling sadly.

" I'm pregnant." She whispers.

I have to take a minute for her words to sink in.

" Your reaction is better than Ethan's."

" H-he knows?"

She nods.

" What did he say?"

" He'll never leave me, with whatever decision I take, he'll be here for me."

I nod, feeling relieved.

I swear if I heard something different, me and him might have had a really long conversation.

" Does anyone else know?"

She just stares at me and I know immediately, that Amber knows.

" So she stooped so low and blackmailed you, wow, she's really determined." I shake my head.

" She's been determined from a long time ago, to make Wesley hers. Look Chloe, of all the guys in that basketball team, he's the most genuine. "

" Since when did you start being Wesley's fan, I can recall you calling him weird."

" Because I spoke from what I saw and I was being a gossip." She chuckles, shaking her head. " Amber has always been pining after Wesley and she couldn't understand, why he never noticed her."

" Oh, he knows she likes him."

Surprise flickers on her features. " He does?"

" Well, he's heard, but he's never given it much attention."

" He must really not like her." She shakes her head.

" Didn't prevent him from kissing her back." I grumble.

" Actually, she jumped on him the second you turned your back on them, I was there and I saw the whole thing."

" It sounded ridiculous coming from him." I admit.

" Because he's a guy." She says it like it's the most obvious thing.

I chuckle, shaking my head.

" He literally pushed her off him, the moment he realized what was happening. It was quite embarassing because many people saw it. I wish I caught it on video."

" Maybe if I punch her, you can." I say.

" Please do." She sighs dramatically, making me to roll my eyes in amusement.

" Look Callie, what's done is done now."

" No. Not until you believe in him again." I open my mouth to speak but she beats me to it. " When he saw you and realized that you'd seen everything, he looked so horrified, I've never seen such fear in his eyes. He rushed after you in panic and the look he wore, was one of desperation, to reach to you and not lose you."

" Callie ----------"

" This is the biggest truth I'll ever say, Wesley genuinely cares for you, it's the first time he's ever looked at any girl, the way he looks at you. Girls at school are envious because they know, they'll never be looked at like that by him. You pretty much snatched every last bit of hope of being the ' Captains' leading lady."

" That might sound nice in your hopeless, romantic ears, but to someone like me, it sounds way too cliche and kinda creepy."

" You're just saying that to sound badass, when you're a big softie inside."

" I think that little person in you, has turned you way too mushy."

Her smile wavers and she offers a small smile. I watch her touch her tummy.

" I still have a lot to do, like tell my parents."

" Should I put 911 on speed dial?"

She bursts out laughing, rising to her feet. " Very funny."

I smile softly, seeing her much relaxed.

" For what it's worth, I'm really sorry about what happened."

" I'm sorry too, for not being a better friend."

" No, you are Chloe James, you are who you are, I should have never tried to turn you into something else, because I wanted an ideal friend."

I nod and I watch her walk away.

" Oh, hey!" She turns to me. " What are you still doing here?"

I frown at her question.

" I thought by now, you would have crossed over to another town but you're still here. He made you stay, it's definetly another reason to believe he's a keeper."

" Get out of here Callie." I say teasingly.

" I'm going, I'm going James." She laughs, walking away.

That's what Wesley usually calls me.

I sigh, leaning back on the bench.

                          ********

I am really hungry, cold, and wet.

The weather literally changed on me and now, I regret leaving with no money. Well, I stormed out of the house and now, home has never seemed so far.

I'm walking back home and I feel a little dizzy, because I'm really hungry. I'm frustrated by the rain and my feet feel cold. I bet I look like some random crazy girl, to the people driving past me.

I had more than enough time to think, but I found myself staying at the park, for a little bit longer. I don't even know what time it is and how long I've been gone. I haven't forgotten that I left things on a tense note, between me and Aiden and Ingrid.

I know that they were only looking out for me and trying to help, now I feel bad for yelling at them and treating them bad. I still can't believe I let out so much out of my chest, I never thought I was this affected by some certain things, until I blurted them out.

I feel bad for keeping so much from Aiden, and I worry that he might think I've lost trust in him. But that's not true, I trust him completely because he's never really lied to me, he's always looking out for me and he loves me.

I never want him to doubt my trust in him.

' And Wesley?' My consciousness reminds me.

Oh gosh Wesley, I bet he'll never want to see me again. I pretty much demanded that he leave me alone.

He must be long gone now, I mean he has no reason to stay and -------

I stop in my tracks with a gasp, when in the midst of crossing the road, a really nice car suddenly pulls to a stop infront of me.

Oh gosh, it must be Luis.

I start to back away, my heart picking up pace at the thought that Luis might be the one, who steps out of the car.

Not wanting to find out too late, I quickly turn around and head back the way I came.

" Chloe!" I stop in my tracks, because of the sound of that voice.

Wesley?

' What is he doing here - how did he find me?.....No, he should be far gone and no longer part of my life.

Shouldn't he ?

I turn around to confirm with my own eyes, that he's still here. I try to blink away the water dripping into my wide eyes, the sight of him coming towards me with an umbrella, makes my heart to beat twice as hard.

When he has us both under the umbrella, he doesn't say anything but stares down at me. For some unknown reason, I start to feel shy under his gaze that I look down, my eyes to the ground.

" How did you find me?" I can't help but to ask.

" That doesn't matter, what matters is that I found you."

Why is he looking at me so much, my heart can't take it.

" Why are you here?"

" I'm here for my girl."

" Wesley ----------- " I quickly look up at him, only to gasp when he steps closer to me. " G-get back." I warn him softly.

" No."

" Just go back."

" I'm not going back without you."

" Wesley,  stop being stubborn and annoying and ------------"

" I like you. Infact, I have feelings for you, deep and true feelings for you."

I stare dumbly at him as his words sink into my system.

" You feel the same for me."

" Y-you don't know what you're talking about." I stutter, feeling really nervous as he stares down intensely at me.

I'm also really cold and that's why I'm shaking right now.

" You had a reason for being at that party, you wanted to say something to me."

" There is nothing to say, so stop." I spin around and rush off, leaving the safety of the umbrella and being under the pouring rain.

I gasp when I'm jerked around by arm to face him, his grip is hard that I crash into his chest. He takes this into his advantage, where he wraps his arm around my waist.

" Do you honestly think I'll let you go, do you think I'll watch you walk away from me again?....No. "

His eyes are blazing fire right now, he looks angry. The look he gives me scares me.

" Wesley....." I try to wiggle out of his hold but he won't let me go.

" You know deep down that I would never intentionally hurt you, I would never do that to my Bluebear. Tell me you know that I would never hurt you like that."

" I-I k-know." I say through my chattering teeth.

A sigh of relief releases from his lips.

" You had something to tell me last night. I'm here now Chloe, tell me what you wanted to say. Tell me Bluebear, I'm listening." He pleads.

Gosh, his eyes are so amazing, they are like blue glass.

" Tell me Bluebear." He urges desperately.

" I ----------"

He nods, encouraging me to continue.

" I-I l-like y-you Wesley. I have feelings for y-y-you."

I've never seen him smile as big as this. He pulls me into his arms and kisses face, but weirdly enough, my skin feels numb.

He pulls back to look at me and I watch as his smile starts to waver, his eyes now search my own, which are blinking up at him.

" Chloe, why are you shaking so much?"

I just stare at him, feeling tongue tied.

He starts to touch my face as if feeling my skin.

" Y-your skin is warm, no, burning." He frantically touches my skin, his eyes showing both confusion and concern.

Why does he look so blurry right now?

" Chloe?"

Heavy dizziness takes over and I feel my body give way.

" Chloe!"

***********************************

I guess our Chloe has been out in the rain for too long.

What do you think of the chapter?

So surprise, Callie is pregnant.
