Chapter 4
***
Weeks passed, Chloe couldn't reach Xavier, she tried his line but couldn't get him still, Chloe couldn't believe what was happening to her, it felt like her world was falling apart, she didn't know what to think, whether Xavier left her or something bad happened, she couldn't get the answers to this questions, Everything about Xavier's whereabouts were totally blank, as he was suddenly out of all social platforms she couldn't reach him,
Chloe's mum noticed her intense behavior all of a sudden and was concerned as she asked her one day "is everything ok with you Chloe? "
Chloe replied, "I don't know mum, I've been trying Xavi's line for weeks and I can't reach him, neither can I get him on any social media platforms".
"Ouch! Did u try sending him a voice call message? ". She asked concerned
"Yes mum(Chloe cuts in) I've done all that, am just scared, what must have happened to him, he never does this, not try to reach me(lost in thoughts) no Xavi wouldn't ".
"Or maybe they went for a vacation? What do you think (trying to cheer her daughter up) maybe he just wants to surprise you ".
"How mum, if this is a prank then its unbearable for me, I really want to see him, its been 2weeks! ".
"But he left with his mum and sister right, don't you think they went on a vacation ". (Mrs. Emily asked further)
"I hope so mum(she said looking disdain).
"Oh! my child, come here(she said as she widen her arms to welcome Chloe in, so Chloe hugged her).

The next day, Chloe went back to Xavi's apartment and this time, it seems like someone was in, she felt happy than ever and at the same time, couldn't wait to see Xavier so she could pounce on him for treating her that way, she knocked and all of a sudden, someone came by the door, opened it to her, it was a young dark skin woman
"How may I help you "(the lady asked)
Chloe was shocked "umm. please am here to meet Xavi... sorry I mean Xavier ".
*Who's Xavier?(The lady questioned)
"He stays here"(Chloe replied)
"Oops am sure you got the wrong address, I stay here, or maybe if what you are saying is true, then am not sure the person stays here anymore, I actually packed in few days ago(the lady confirmed)
Chloe was alarmed Xavier and his family has packed out, she couldn't what she heard, she stood there, shocked than ever, how could Xavier, off all times, why couldn't he even reach out to her, what were his reasons for doing this, so many questions swirled in her head. She managed to go home, met her parent eating
"Mr Clerk Cants asked her"oh here comes my angel, where were you my angel, come eat with us".
"I don't feel like it, father (tears swelled in her eyes) ".
"What happened Chloe(her mum questioned, raising an alarm, why is my angel crying (she walked up to Chloe)
"They left mum, Xavier left me)"(this time her tears increased)
Her mum didn't want to ask further questions as she didn't want to worsen the whole issue, so she just hugged her daughter tightly.

Later by the day, Mr Clerk was discussing the earlier issue with his wife
"Why didn't you tell me about it before now, you know the dangers in situations like this right?! He never even comes here, do you even know him".
"(Sighed) I just wanted Chloe to be happy, nevertheless I thought the boy liked her too"."This is breaking her, she has refused to have anything since, should i speak to her? ".
So Mrs Emily nodded in affirmation
Then, Mr Clerk went to Chloe's room to talk to her,
(After some explanations, he continued) "you are going to be fine Chloe, he's not worth it, he shouldn't be the reason you are like this, you deserve better, you are my daughter, and a daughter of the Clerks has to be happy ".
"How father, my happiness lies in Xavier, dad, he us my best friend, I like him so so much, I can't imagine myself here without him, am gonna break apart(she sniffed)
Those words felt deep in Mr Clerk's heart, he couldn't realize his only child has gotten so fond of a person to this extent, he was speechless and dumbfounded, he only sat trying to hug his daughter.
After several weeks, Chloe's actions became worse, she couldn't get over Xavier, thinking about the funs they use to have, staring at their pictures and everything, still wondering why Xavier had done all of this, or its all his sister's doing, Chloe kept on questioning herself.
As Chloe's parents watched her struggle to cope with the loss of Xavier, they felt a deep sense of empathy for their daughter. Mr. Clerk turned to his wife and whispered, "Chloe will be finishing college soon. Maybe it's time we sent her to a new environment to take her mind off that boy." Mrs. Emily looked concerned, "But she's our only child, honey. How can we just send her away?" Mr. Clerk reassured her, "It'll be for a few months, and it'll be good for her to experience new things. We want her to be happy, don't we?"
