Chloe, You're SUCH a Dumbass Sometimes
Who: Bella and Chloe
Where: On the Phone
When: Oct. 20th, Evening
Chloe spent roughly a half an hour pacing back and forth in her game room, before finally grabbing her cell phone, and dialing the number of the ONE person she knew she could tell anything to, and that wouldn't judge her. Ok, so maybe she'd judge her. But at least she'd forgive her. Anyway... she dialed Bella's number, praying the other girl was there.
Bella actually was there. She had been laying on her bed, recovering from a rather vigorous training session with her Watcher, and was working on getting the energy up to go and take a shower, or maybe she'd say fuck it and take a long bath. Whatever. When her phone rang, though, she sighed and picked it up, seeing that it was Chloe. "Hey Chloe," she said when she picked it up. "How goes it?"
"Belllllllls! You and me? We need to talk. Now. Because I'm starting to get whiny. And you KNOW Whiny!Chloe is a force to be reckoned with." And even though Bella couldn't SEE her, Chloe was indeed giving her patented Pouty!Lip.
Bella could only imagine. "Wow...sounds like you're having a good time right now," she said, forcing herself to sit up so that she could focus on listening a little better. "Alrighty, talk."
"I'm kinda sorta about to be single again, and it's totally my fault and I feel like the biggest crapfest of a girlfriend IN THE HISTORY OF EVER." One breath, people. ALL ONE BREATH.
Bella blinked. So, yet another change from the future she had been from. Delightful. "OK, if I translate that from Chloe!talk correctly, you've been a bad girlfriend. How exactly?"
"Remember Kayla Barnes?" Oh no... Chloe, you have QUITE a way of explaining things.
Bella thought on it for a moment. "Another Slayer chick, right?" Bella asked.
"Yeah. Well... I sorta had The Sex with her. And by sorta, I mean abso-freakin'-lutely." Chloe sighed, trying not to burst out crying. "And to make it worse... I can't just... let her go. I should just forget her and go on trying to make it up to Nica. But I can't get this girl out of my head!"
"Oh my GOD you're such a dumbass," Bella said. "Is Kayla even single? Last I knew she was dating that stripper chick. Have you messed up more people or just Nica?" Well, Bella wasn't going to mince words, after all.
"She broke up with Deanna." But because she couldn't leave well enough alone, "Now she's dating her watcher. But he's TOTES not right for her, ok? I know it. He doesn't make her as happy as I can. Of course, I still need to talk to Nica, too... to tell her it's over. I can't do that to her, you know? Stay with her just because the person I want is possibly unattainable."
"If Kayla is happy with the Watcher, then leave well enough alone," Bella pointed out. "Doesn't matter if you think that he's not right for her or what. It's not your business." Someone needed to tell Chloe this. "Now, if Kayla breaks it off with him and THEN comes to you? Feel free to walk that road. Don't ruin someone else's life for selfish reasons. And yeah, being sexually obsessed IS selfish, Chloe. Do I need to come back there and set you straight or something?"
"I'm falling for her, Bells... I'm SO drawn to her... I wouldn't ever be selfish. Not like that, anyway. But its like... you know how Lucy says when she and Ash are together... it feels like they just... belong together?" Chloe whined, loudly and adorably, "It... it kinda feels like that."
"Still, unless Kayla is coming and saying this stuff to you, don't go there," Bella still told her. "If Kayla's not completely one-hundred percent with it, then she's just going to get pissed at you and you'll end up loosing the friendship, too."
Chloe nodded, not that anyone could see it. "If... if I don't think she feels the same way, I swear I'll back off. I dunno, Bells... maybe I deserve to be alone. But enough crap about me. How've things been with you? I keep getting afraid that you're still crying yourself to sleep over Damon every night."
"I'm not exactly OVER Damon completely, because I just got so screwed over, I think, but I've found someone who's helping out a lot with the whole 'making me feel better' situation," Bella said, a smile creeping over her face. "Still, you don't deserve to be alone. You deserve to find someone available for you and that you truly want."
"Whoa whoa whoa... hang on. We'll get back to my lameness in a momento." Oh dear. When Chloe heard some new gossip? God help us all. "You're back in the saddle? Who's the lucky guy?"
"A singer of a band that is getting signed to Full Moon Records," Bella said. "I discovered him. Maybe I should look into discovered bands more often here in Vegas or something."
"Especially if they all have hot singers who can slip ya the ole' kielbasa!" Oh god, Chloe... shut up! "If that's the case, sign me up too!"
Bella cracked up. "Well, I think I'll stick with this one singer, but yeah, it wouldn't be the worst job in the world if I get to look at good looking people all day and listen to music."
"Soooooooo?" Chloe was grinning now, as face it: dealing with other peoples' love lives? Was awesome to her. "Details! I wanna hear about this guy!"
"Well, his name is Chris Stryker, he's this gorgeous singer, and I'm pretty sure he's a werewolf or something, just from the sense that I get from him. He hasn't admitted to it yet."
"You are SO retarded for him,. I can hear it in your voice! Good for YOU, girl!" God, Chloe really DID act like a third grader sometime...
Bella chuckled. "Maybe...it's still early in it, though. Not sure if I'm just feeling gun shy or not wanting it to get so...intense just yet like it did with Damon. I'm worried about screwing it up somehow." The thing with Damon hadn't been her fault, but it kind of felt like it just the same.
"I just want you to be happy, Bells. Whatever that means you end up doing. You're my bestest friend, remember that." She really didn't care WHO Bella was with, as long as it was someone who made her happy.
"Well, I think I'm getting there, and that's a giant step in the right direction," Bella said with a smile on her face. "And you're gonna get there soon enough, too. Just give it time."
"Yeah... I can hope. Look... I just... I wanted to vent. And check up on you. I should probably go make sure Kevin isn't hyperventilating. We're both dealing with Lucy moving in with Emo!Boy." She grumbled a little there. "Visit us soon? We both miss you babe."
"As soon as I can convince my Watcher to let me get away for a couple of days, you bet your butt I'll be there," Bella said. "Have a vampire invasion or something. I know he'd let me go for that, no questions asked."
