I'm not tinkerbell!

Chapter 8

'Right. Come on let's get you chaseified' Chloe says whilst jumping up and clapping her hands.

'Get me what now?'

'Come on girl, you wanna know if he likes you or not, then you've gotta show him what he's missing!'

'Erm, I'm not so sure about this whole idea.' I said shaking my head.

'Nonsense child, let me work my magic' Chloe actually looks scary at this point, she's doing that finger tapping thing that evil people do in films whilst looking at me like she's going to attack.

So after a record breaking 45 minutes, I am in Chloe's words 'Looking so fit, Ariana will probably want me too'.

So, I'm going to take it as a compliment and walk slowly to a mirror, and pray that I don't look like a drag queen/trying too hard/like she just threw the whole urban decay palette on my face. (Ps. Not that there's anything wrong with looking like a drag queen, sassy bunch of gals).

'Oh.' I'm surprised, I actually look, well, nice.

'Yass, told you to have faith girl. Now let's go kick butt' Chloe says whilst flinging her long hair over her shoulder and walking towards my bedroom door.

She's done a simple nude smokey eye and eyeliner (At least in a book I can have perfect eyeliner on each eye 😂). She's put me in a cute little white dress that's got a low back and little cut outs on the skirt. It's casual but it looks like I've not just threw anything on. I love it! I don't even know where she's got it from!

'Right' I said to myself taking a deep breath. 'Let's do this.'

Chloe and I walked downstairs to be greeted by my mother, yet again running frantic as though the queen was coming round for tea.

'You do know we're going to them not the other way around' I said annoyed by her constant faffing.

'Oh! Oh you're ready! Oh thank god. Oh my you look wonderful my little princess, I'm so proud of you' Anddddd queue the waterworks.

I just sighed and looked at Chloe with the same bored look we give each other every time.

'Right let's get gone! I can't deal with sitting here trying to calm your mother down any longer' Even my dads had enough, and that's saying something!

------------

So after our very short car journey which felt like it took 3 years, to Chases house or should I say, the pack house. It was finally time for me to suck it up and get some real answers to what the hell was going on. Because tomorrow will be the real test at the ball, I'd rather know what I'm getting myself into before all that hoohar.

'You can do this girl' Chloe grabs ahold of my hand and gives a squeeze giving me a reassuring smile. 'Let's go'.

The doors of the pack house opened and I was greeted by the most amazing smell of pasta!! At Least if the rest of the night goes crap then I have pasta to save me!

'Andrew! Julie! I'm so glad you could come!' I heard the Luna or Chases mum Sandra shout whilst walking towards my parents with open arms. I'd always liked her, she never made me feel like I was intruding, she always made me feel welcome and like she was my second mother, but that changed when Chase left.

'Oh Luna we wouldn't miss this for the world!' My mother gushed.

'Oh my, is that you Jess! Oh my haven't you grown into a beautiful young lady! The last time I saw you was... Erm well a few years ago now!' Sandra said coming over to hug me too.

'Hello to you too Chloe, your mother and father are in the dining room, so if you'd all like to follow me!' She said whilst guiding us through the massive pack house towards the dining room. 'I'm just going to check on the food. Arianas already in there, Chase will be down soon'.

Great. This was my moment to break free and find Chase before I had to sit and listen to how wonderful he and Ariana were.

Chloe must have read my mind, 'Go on I'll cover for you, let me know what happens!'

So I snook off up the stairs on my way to Chases room in hopes of finding him there. Considering I hadn't visited the pack house in a long time, I could still remember the way to his room. I suppose I'll never forget it, no matter how much I try to.

I let my feet guide me to the familiar place that I hadn't seen for so long. I wonder if he still had that picture of us when we were young up on the wall. Doubt it. Wonderful Arianas probably made him take it down.

I reached my destination before hesitating to knock. I raised my hand to do so but stopped just before I could. No. I was going to do this. I deserved to find out why I was feeling what I was feeling and how I can stop it.

I knocked 3 times and then just barged in.

But he wasn't there.

And neither was our picture.

I looked around in hopes he had moved things around. But no. His room was nothing like it used to be. It looked lifeless. No longer full of pictures and posters. Just a dull blue wall and some bare furniture. I had always envied Chases room. It was so big and his wardrobe was huge! But now, it just looked sad.

Suitcases still lay in the corner of the room from when he'd returned.

But his bed looked as though it hadn't been touched.

Another thing I noticed that was missing in his room was anything that could belong to a certain girl named Ariana.

'What are you doing in here?' A deep familiar voice shook the empty room....
