Chloe's POV:

"Married?" I asked looking directly at her
"Yeah, I heard you were getting married, I thought you were already married but since you guys are still single.... I thought you were just waiting for me to get back" Emma answered sounding confused for once
"Or aren't you two getting. married anymore?" She asked still confused

"Chloe and I were never actually getting married" Alec says lightly to a confused Emma
"Then who was she getting married to and why isn't she married yet?" She asked still stunned. My mouth just suddenly became dry and my breathing was fast, I can't believe I'll have to answer that, I can tell her anything that happened right here or right now, I don't think I've gotten over Eric and now I'm reminded of him again

"Emma" Alec calls her and giving her the signal to just back away for a moment

"I'll just go check out those dresses" she says after a few seconds of awkward silence obviously still confuses as she left Alec and I in the same spot
"I think I need to use the bathroom" I tell Alec as soon as she left before running off into the nearest bathroom to pour out all of my threatening tears.

I can't believe this is all happening to me, I didn't even know what to say to Emma, should I have told her my own twin sister connived with my mother to marry my fiancé?, should I have said that my twin sister was jealous of me getting married before her? or should I have said that my fiancé never really loved me and I was a tool, an object, a game to make his family proud of him but went wrong as he went and got married to the one be really loved?  I couldn't contain my tears, I cried and cried in the bathroom silently, I didn't want all the other girls to think I was a single idiot with no hope in life even if it was true.

Everyone around me has ruined my life repeatedly and there's absolutely nothing I can do about it.

Zoe's POV:

"Come on just do it" Aaron persuades me
"No, I don't want to" I object

He took me to some crazy bar place with a lot of drunk people. We ordered a few drinks and he already seemed a bit drunk.

He persuaded me into playing truth or dare with him and now he dared me to go make out with any random guy of my choice in this bar place. I would have done it because, I've done lot of crazy shit like that but not today, it's him and him alone that I want and need, Why doesn't he just understand?

"It won't be that bad, or are you worried your stupid husband would be upset?, and I thought you loved me more than him" he says again looking hurt even if he knows that I know that he's faking it
"No, I'm not worried about him, I'll do it now" I say and he gives a small smile while I get up and walk over to a guy sitting near the counter with a bottle of whiskey in his hands

"Hey handsome" I say giving him the most fake smile I could render
"What's up princess?" he asks licking his lip in an attempt to be sexy but it ended up looking like 'ewwwwwww'
"I've been watching you, you kinda seemed.........lonely" I lie dragging the collar of his shirt to make his face come closer to mine
"Maybe you can soothe that loneliness?" He asked and jammed his lips on mine. Double ewwww.

I horridly drift away from the kiss and walk away to claim my position again in front of Aaron who was laughing his ass out.

"I'm so proud of you baby" he says still laughing. I wanted to be mad at him for making me kiss that stupid, disgusting man but him calling me baby just soothed that anger, have I mentioned I freaking love him?

"Now my turn" I say he stops laughing
"Dare" he responds taking a sip of his beer
"kiss me?" I asked as I scoot over to his lap and press my lips against his, I miss him so much, I would do anything to stay like this forever. I thought he would make this a short kiss but here he is, synching with my tongue for what seemed like an hour and he isn't still letting me go.

I'm never gonna let him go either.

Chloe's POV:

"I think we should be going home now" Alec says as soon as I step out of the bathroom
"You're right, Alec do you mind paying while I and Chloe go wait in the car?" She asked and Alec nods as we both leave to get to his car parked outside.

"Wanna talk about it?" Emma asked as soon as get into the car
"About what?" I ask even if I knew what she was about to say
"About....your marriage....you got all emotional...OK, I may be asking a personal question here, I'm sorry..... I just talk too much even when I'm not supposed to, I'll just mind my business now" she says her face flushed from embarrassment. I didn't want to tell her before but watching her act this way, I'll just have to tell her
"No, it's OK, I mean you're my friend I should probably tell you everything" I say before narrating everything that happened between Zoe, Eric and I. I said it while trying to hold back the tears threatening to fall from my eyes.
 
"O my gosh, I'm so sorry Chloe, I didn't know you've been through so much lately" she said giving me a huge hug before Alec enters the car
"Everything good?" He asked seeing the way I was being hugged by his sister while crying my heart out
"Yeah, just some girly talk that's all" Emma said not wanting to tell Alec the truth in front of me. I know she knows that Alec knows everything but I'm so happy she chose not to repeat it again and make me continue thinking of  Eric.

Alec soon began driving off as I dabbed my wet eyes with my small handkerchief and Emma patted my back whispering comforting words that I couldn't hear because of my excess thinking and mental sobbing.
