they brought to Paris. Until now, they don't hear have any word from him since you two broke up." her mother still tried to remove the comforter from her and this time she succeeded.

Her mother stared at her and fixed her hair. Okay, she'll go to the dinner. Maybe it'll not hurt if she sees him again, right? Chloe thinks it's time for them to straighten things up and if they're lucky maybe they could still work things out.

Yes, she's still hoping for them to get back together but she wants him to make the first move.

"Well, if you want me to that dinner then you need to let me get ready. I'll see you soon, kay?" she went up from her bed and opened the door for her mom. When she was finally alone in her room, she searched for a nice dress to wear for the dinner and started to get ready.

After she got dressed, Chloe received a message from Blake. What's up with him? Did he plan already?

Blake: Jesse's not here, but Care took some clothes in his room yesterday. I put your letter in his room, I slide it under the door.

So, his not yet home, huh? Does no one tell him she was in Paris? Because if he knew that she's on vacation, he'll surely be in the boarding house by now.

Chloe: Okay, just let those letters on his room. Call me if he's home. Thank you.  

She kept her phone on the pocket of her dress and went out of her room. Yes, she's been leaving letters, poems rather, at Jesse's room with Blake's help because she's thinking that he will get so see it but the problem is he's not home. He might not come home.

The elevator door was about to close but she's right in time to stop it before it goes down. She entered the elevator and was surprise to see someone there. She's very sure this is the same man on the plane and the one who rode the elevator with them earlier when they arrived.

However, the man is not wearing any glasses now, just his hoodie and a face mask. It's really creeping her out so she squishes herself on the corner of the elevator and waited for it to arrive on the lobby.

Good thing nothing bad happened and she safely. Her parents are already there waiting for her and they all head to the car and drive their way to the restaurant.

At the restaurant, Caroline and their parents are already there waiting for them. Chloe sat beside Caroline and gave her a hug. There were only six of them but there's seven chairs. She knew it, her mother tricked her. But she decided to play naïve and look unaffected of what's happening.

"Are we expecting someone, mother?" she looked at her mom who seemed speechless. She looked around the table and good thing Emily answered her question.

Emily smiled at her before speaking "Jesse might be joining us for dinner. He said he'll run some errands then if there's still time, he'll come here." Okay, this is bad. Yes, she wants so see Jesse again, but not tonight. She cannot do it.

"But we could start dinner, now right? I mean we don't have to wait for him. As you said he might be here, so that's not sure."

Her mother gets the attention of the waiter and they all ordered their food. While waiting, her father made the most stupid plan to pass the time, well he thinks it’s brilliant.

"Okay, since we are celebrating Thanksgiving, why don't we share something that we are thankful for."

She raised her hand and looked at everybody "I'll go first. Okay, I am thankful that I'm single because that means I can go bar hopping tonight with Caroline."

"Girl you know I can't" Caroline whispered to her ear.

Caroline's parents and hers just stared at her awkwardly, especially her father who doesn't have any idea that Jesse and her broke up.

The thing went on until there food arrived. She immediately dug in her food that made her the first on to finish eating. She made super clear to everyone that she doesn't want to see Jesse tonight which she hopes everybody respects.

She excused herself and told everyone that she'll go out tonight but before she could get out of her seat, Jesse entered the restaurant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CHAPTER 22:

I Gotta Get Out of Here

Chloe immediately ran to the restroom and hid herself from Jesse. He was here. He's really here. But why? In all the countries in the world, why did his family decided to spend Thanksgiving in Paris?

She took a peek outside and saw the Jesse was already at the table and eating his dinner. Chloe moved stealthy out of the restaurant. It's raining lightly so good thing she brought an umbrella with her.

The streets are silent and the number of people are wearing thin. This is not how she imagined her Thanksgiving will be.

She thought that she was ready to be on the same vicinity as Jesse but when she saw him earlier, she knew it's not yet time.

Maybe it's a good thing that they'll be a part for a while, or

maybe forever. Chloe is walking on the quiet streets of Paris when she felt her phone vibrating on her pocket. It's Caroline calling.

"Hey, what's up? How's dinner?" she asked, trying her best to sound happy and not miserable.

"Where are you? Can we meet somewhere? I really need to talk to you about something. I'm here in the restroom of the restaurant. I told my parents that Nate and I are having a baby and they are not thrilled about it; I need to talk to you
