pain Jesse is feeling, but she knows she can do something to ease him of the pain.

Jesse stood up and went outside, she excused herself to Caroline and Nate who are flirting with each other and followed Jesse. He's approaching the car and she wants to go with him, but she cannot just leave Blake's car here. Never mind.

"Jesse." she called after him but he never looked back. So she removed her shoes and ran after him. Chloe was panting when she reached Jesse's car. He went inside and start up the car but he never drives it. Maybe he was waiting for her. She looked around and saw a huge pot nearby. Chloe walked toward it and shoved Blake's car key inside then she hopped in Jesse's car.

He started driving and she didn't dare to speak. It felt like he is not in a good mood now. She took her phone inside her bag and gave Caroline a text while Jesse is still driving very fast.

"Care, Jesse and I already left, please tell your parents. Jesse is not feeling well. And there was a car key shoved inside a pot in your parking lot. Outside your house, there's a black Bentley parked near the gates. That's Blake's. Drive it home. See you."

Chloe thought that they will head to the boarding house but Jesse is driving a different path. But then again, she didn't talk or do anything. She just let Jesse drive them to anywhere he wants. She felt like they've been driving for hours. Finally, the car stopped and Jesse removed his seatbelt. She looked outside the window and was surprise to see that they are in a cemetery.

When she first saw the outside of the area, she doesn't have any idea why they are here. But when Jesse opened the door of a mausoleum with the word 'GRAHAM' written on the top of the door. So, we're here to visit his mom.

He sat in front of his mother and just stared at it for a long time. She sat beside him and placed her head on his shoulder. There was a picture of his mother near her tomb plate. She looks young. Maybe in her late 30's or early 40's. She looks so fantastic.

"Mom, this is Chloe Celestia King, my girlfriend, my Ginger. Chloe this is my mom/best friend, Ally Graham."

"You didn't have to tell her my full name, Chloe will do. Your mother is very beautiful. No wonder you're good looking." Chloe can't help but touch his mother's picture. She looked like a girl version of Jesse. She's all him, her eyes, her lips, her smile.

Jesse moved his head to kiss her forehead. "That is what you said the first time you see a picture of my mom, remember? Inside the drama hall. You were giving me a tour around the campus that time."

Really, she did? She scrambled through her mind to remember everything that happened in that day. And yes, she remembers telling him that his mother is beautiful. "Yeah, I did. But I also remember denying that you look good."

Both of them laughed and talked about anything under the sun. "I brought you here so you'll know why I don't like seeing my father with Emily. It's not just because she's more stunning than my father's wife but because her love for him is unmeasurable. She's been uttering his name until her last breath."

"Until now I blame him for her death. He should have their beside her. But no, he left her alone not even knowing that he got her pregnant. She should have been alive until now but instead, she's locked up in a coffin."

She took her purse and get the piece of paper she always has with her. It's a poem she wrote for him when she first saw him. Chloe unfolded it and passed it to Jesse. "Here, I made it for you. I hope it will liven up your mood."

Jesse took it from her hand and stared at it for a while before he folded again and put it in his pocket. Now Jesse has a small smile in his lips.

Now she understands why he doesn't like Emily. But he has to try and get to know her, too. And maybe they could have formed a bond that will get them to be closer to each other.

However, she cannot dictate what Jesse wants, it's his decision. Whatever he does, she'll just have to support it and be at his back no matter what.

That's all she could ever do. Support him through thick and thin. And be on his side, ready to hold his hand.  If she's thinking of spending the rest of her life with him, she'll have to understand everything about him. Accept their differences. And embrace all his imperfections.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CHAPTER 18:

Don’t Provoke the Witch

"Hey, Chloe! Thank goodness I caught up to you. Look, we are going to have a party. Halloween themed. Be in your best costume. Bring your team. Here's the detail. Be there. I'll be expecting you and your people." Barry gave her a flyer about the party his throwing. And it's tomorrow night. How can she find the perfect costume for that party?

She took a glance at her wrist watch and look at the time. It's 2:30 pm, she still has a class to attend. She needs to make an appearance at Mrs. Clarkson's class because there's something important she needs to discuss with her professor for their play next month.

The only one who can help her is her mother. She took her phone and dialed her mother’s number while walking to class. It took her mother a very long time before answering her call.

"Chloe, are
