BLS #7: BREAKING THE LAST

Chloe Regens

I looked at myself again at the mirror and sighed. I looked beautiful tonight but there’s no one to impress. I let out a pity laugh for myself. I just decided to throw myself into a big lion’s den.

I heard someone knocking my door and I walked out. Opening the door and see Conard holding a bouquet flower for me. I smiled fakely.

“Hey Chloe, you look beautiful.”

“Thankyou.”

“This is for you.. I hope you like it.” He said as he gave me the flowers and I put it on the table.

“I’ll put it on the vase after we got home.” I said.

“Shall we go beautiful?” He asked and I linked my arm to his. We walked down to the lobby and he already prepared his car. He opened the door for me and he got inside to the driver seat.

He drove to the venue and I will be lying if I’m not shaking right now.

“So what kind of music do you like?” He asked.

“I like pop music, how about you?”

“Same as you, so do you know how to dance?” I turned to him and raising my eyebrows. He chuckled looking at me.

“Slow dance Chloe.”

“Oh slow dance? I’m not a good dancer.” I said truthfully.

“I can teach you.” He smiled and held my hand.

“So.. can I ask who your friend is?”

“Ohh.. her name is Raina, she’s a good friend of mine.” He said.

“How old is she?”

“She’s 28 this year and next week she will get married so today is birthday party and last time partying as a single woman.” I chuckled and he smiled.

“Enjoying before get tied.” I said chuckling.

“You’re beautiful when you smile.” He suddenly said.

“Thankyou.” I smirked.

We arrived at the venue, he opened the door for me and threw the keys to the vallet staff. He held my hand and we walked into the venue.

“Raina.” Conard hugged the birthday girl.

“You came.. oh with a girl.” She looked at me and gave a teasing smirk to Conard.

“Raina, this is Chloe. Chloe this is my partner in crime Raina.” Conard introduced me to her.

“Chloe, happy birthday and you look beautiful.” I said.

“Thankyou Chloe.. you look beautiful as well.” Raina smiled widely.

“Enjoy being single Raina?” Conard teased her.

“Shut up! Go inside and enjoy!” She pushed us both and she greeted another guest.

“She’s really nice.” I said.

“She is, she’s really bubbly.” Conard answered.

“Kenneth Domanco.” Conard looked at someone behind me and he greeted Ken. I turned to see Ken already laid his eyes on me. I looked away.

“Hello Conard.” Ken greeted coldly.

“So Ken.. this is Chloe my date and Chloe this is Ken.”

“Nice to meet you.” I said fast not looking into his eyes, I turned to Conard.

“Hello Sky, Max, oh hey Luke, Aaron, Sebastian and Alex.” Conard greeted.

“Beautiful meet my friends, you know them. They’re the 7 Gold Lifes.” I looked at them and they already eyeing me hard.

“I’m Chloe.” I said awkwardly and looked away.

“Are you okay?” Conard asked.

“Can you get me water?” I asked.

“Wait here okay?” He said and walked away.

“Are you out of your mind?” Sebastian asked but my eyes stuck at Kenneth’s.

“We’re calling Jack to take you home, I don’t care ab-”

“Still not giving up, aren’t you?” I asked Kenneth and he looked at me with his sharp eyes.

“I told you, I don’t care.” He answered coldly.

“Kenneth.” Luke warned.

“Chloe! I’m going to tell Jack and tell everything if you keep being like this.” Aaron said and I turned to him.

“I’m not a kid, I can make a decision for myself.” I said and walked away. I saw Conard holding a glass of water.

“Thankyou.” I said as I took the glass from him, he looked at me shock. I drank the water without caring if he puts something in it or not.

“So you said you’re going to teach me how to dance, can you teach me now?” I asked and Conard smiled.

“Sure.” He took my hand and pulled me into the middle of the dance floor. There’s so many people already dancing there. He held my right hand and out his right hand to my waist.

“You look beautiful tonight.” He said as he’s observing my face.

“Thankyou and you look handsome too.” I said lying.

“So.. just take a slow step and follow the song.” He kept teaching me but my mind is somewhere else. Ken is still not changing his mind.

Conard kept teaching me and I paid attention so he won’t get suspicious with my attitude. After that the party started and he talked to a few friends. I excused myself to the toilet.

“I’m going to say this one last time Chloe, don’t risk your life because that man is crazy.” I stopped as I heard Ken say that but I didn’t turn my head to look at him.

“Take me with you and I’m yours, as easy as that to take me out from Conard but the question, is will you? Until when you will deny yourself? Being selfless all the time.. can you be selfish for once and state that you want me?” I said with tears in my eyes.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“Stop being stupid Chloe, grow up. Don’t be a kid!”

“You’re the one who needs to grow up, living in the past and shove the things that will make your future happy. Don’t tell me to grow up when you haven’t grow up too.” I said and walked to the toilet.

Kenneth opened the door and pinned me to the wall, I looked into his eyes and he looked at me coldly.

“There are 3 people in that room that ready to kill you in second and you’re still wanting to sacrifice yourself for some stupid feelings?” He bursted angrily to me.

“I’m sacrificing this for you, it’s not a stupid feeling Kenneth. I’m not going to stop if you curious.”

“I’ll send you back to LA and-”

“Should I die first so you can understand?” I cut him and he looked at me with his eyes widen.

“Let me ask that for you, should I die first so you can understand that what you do is stupid?” My eyes widen as he said that.

“See! Should I die now? All I need to do is surrender to Conard, Brad and Ollie right now! Do you want to see that? Me dying! If it’s that what you wan-”

“I love you Kenneth.” I cut him and quickly slipped my body away from him. I walked out from the toilet and wiped my tears. I quickly touched up my make up and walked back to the ball.

I walked to Conard and do this stupid thing that I will never do again.. I kiss him.
