New life New me

****Chloe****

I am in my room and packing my stuff. I cry because my family and my fiance betrayed me. I have no idea where to go after this but I will need to leave when they are gone. My face is covered with my tears and the upper side of my clothes also. After I run out of tears I am almost done with the packing. I gathered my papers and my precious things which I don't want to stay behind. I will need some money also so I will collect all of my jewelry. I will sell them in the pawnshop so I will get some extra cash to live my own life. When I can't hear any sound from outside my room I peek out to see if everything is clear. I carry my luggage to the garage and put it into my car trunk. I say goodbye to my other babies in the garage and get in my Porsche. I start the engine and step on the gas pedal to leave this disgusting place. I ring Janet, one of my besties.

"Chloe. Good to hear your voice. I didn't sleep much but I saw the news. Is everything okay with you? Sophia is such a b*itch."She speaks up and I can hear worry in her voice. She is a really good friend of mine who is always by my side when I need her.

"Not really. I need a place to stay for a couple of days. Can I stay at your place?"I ask her. Luckily she is one of my friends who lives alone and not with her parents anymore.

"Of course. No problem at all. You know my address. I will wait for you to arrive."Janets answers with her sweet voice and I feel a little better immediately.

"I will be there soon. I just need to do some things before."I tell her because I have some ideas in my head to make sure it is not too late.

"Sure. Drive safe and I will wait for you."She says and I hang up the call.
I arrive quickly at the pawnshop to sell some of my jewelry to get some extra cash. Luckily the owner was nice and he paid me a nice amount of money. I didn't sell all of my jewelry but kept some of it for worse times. I bought them a new smartphone and sold them my old ones. It was not old but I don't want any traces on me or my family to reach out to me when the s*hit will drop them. They would be begging for me to come back after they see the sweet Sophia's real face.

******************************

After that, I head to a car dealer. On the way to the dealer, I see the big tv screens on the main street. That is where they went when I left the house. The news is out about me as a cheater while Derek and Sophia announce their wedding on the day when we should get married. Sophia smiles from ear to ear while Derek looks a little disappointed but tries to smile. She uses my wedding as hers. Good luck to Sophia and Derek. He didn't know what b*tch he knocked up and will get some headaches.

"Derek Jones, what happened with your wedding to Chloe Warner which is next weekend?"

"Did she cheat on you first or you cheated first?"

"Is it true that you broke up with her first?"

"So you will marry Chloe's cousin? Why she and not somebody else?"The reporters bomb them with endless questions. Luckily I don't need to see their faces anymore and pretend that I care for my cousin. She always wanted what was mine and cried until she didn't get it. Fortunately, her parents are not as wealthy as mine so she can't afford everything that I have, for example, my car. Now she might have more than me but she won't be as happy as me. I will find a man who will love me for who I am and I will fall in love with him. We might get married and have some kids. Who knows what the future holds for me?


Unfortunately, I have to sell my baby which is grabbing some attention wherever I go with it and the whole city knows it is mine. The dealer looked at me with a confused face and asked why I wanted to sell my perfect car. He looks like knows about celebrities and about my family. So I told him almost the true story that happened to me. After making a deal with a car dealer I say goodbye to my baby and promise the dealer that he will only sell someone worth it. He promises and I walk around the place to look for my new car. Which is a cheaper and very common car around here. I chose a Toyota Camry. It is a beautiful silver car with not much extra. The more important extra for me now is the tinted window glasses. While I drive it no one can recognize me. I pay for my new car and he gives me the difference between the two amounts in cash.

******************************

After I head to the Mall to shop for some average clothes. I don't want people to know that I used to be wealthy because of my clothes. I already looked at some job advertisements and applied for the jobs. It will be a busy week after that with endless job interviews. I need to find a job to pay my bills and distract myself from this sad part of my life.
I have a friend of mine who can help me with a new identity as well. I called him and an hour later I hold in my hands my new identification. He also reinstalled my laptop so my family has no access to what is on my laptop. Great, now I arranged everything. I just need some sleep and a couple of drinks. Janet welcomed me with a big smile and a big hug.

"Welcome to my home. I will help with your luggage."She says and helps me unload my car. After she shows me my room and everything in her home. It is a nice flat and in a very good neighborhood. She even helps me to unpack my clothes and put them into the wardrobe. Now we sit in her living room on the couch and speak. She pours me a drink and I tell her everything that happened last night.

"Oh my God. So she wasn't even sick at all, just lied to you. What a b*tch. I hope I can meet with her and teach her some lessons."She finally speaks up after I tell her the whole story. She even shows with hand gestures how she wants to strangle Sophia's pretty neck.

"Yeah, who knows how long it has been between them? I wonder if Derek is even the father of the baby in her belly. That baby is so innocent so I can't hate it. But Sophia is another thing. I will hate her forever and I won't forgive her."

"I understand and nobody can blame you. So what is your plan now?"She asks me curiously and takes a sip of her drink.

"First I will hide for a while. If you don't mind, I will stay here a little. I don't want to bump into someone from my family."I answer her sincerely and I gulp a little from my drink. It is a strong one but I need it after that day even more.

"No problem at all. And after?"

"Thank you for your help. I applied for a couple of jobs. I will wait for them to call me for the job interview. I have some money so I will pay half of the bills while I stay. I don't want to stay here for free. We can't say to anybody that I am here, only our very royal friends who we can trust with blindfolded eyes."I tell her my plans and she just nods to agree with me and only shakes her head when I mention the bills.

"You're really thinking about everything. If it would happen to someone else they would only sit in the corner and cry. You're a very strong woman Chloe, the perfect idol for anybody. I won't let you pay anything. I only accept that you cook dinner every second day and do some cleaning in the house. That is enough for me and your company is only good for me."She tells me honestly and speaks from her heart. I am really glad that she is my friend and I can always count on her.

"Deal. I will cook some good food for you. Maybe you will gain some fat after my good meals. I am not a good idol because I had no idea about Derek and Sophia's affair. If I hadn't focused on the wedding that much I might have seen it before, but I was too happy to see anything other than my wedding in front of my eyes. Now I have no family, no man, and no wedding in the end."I feel a little sorry because it is true. I have nothing, just a little money, and my friends, but I will start over my life. I have plenty of time for that.

"They hide it very well from anyone. Don't blame yourself for focusing on the big day in your life. So now tell me the good ones. I want to know everything about that hottie that you hooked up with."She finally brings up the topic that I avoid mentioning. I am still not sure about how I feel but what is done is done. He was good and his body was the best I had ever seen. I don't think I will see him again. He looked like a rich man and I don't think he would be interested in appearing on the front pages.

We chat for a while Janet and after I head to my room. I take a quick shower to wash away the tears and the dirt I have on my body. I wash away my sadness also. I climb into my temporary bed and fall asleep. I repeat that night in my dreams and imagine that it is real again.
