Chloe Sims - The Only Way is Up - My Story. Chloe Sims
Despite it all, I just couldn’t imagine not being with him, so leaving never really seemed like an option back then.
The following spring, we went on our first couple’s holiday to Marbella and it was a complete disaster. It should have been a lovely romantic holiday but it was horrendous. On our first night there, we went for a night out in Puerto Banus and Matthew bumped into some guys he knew from back home. We ended up spending the night with them and the drinks were flowing – people just kept presenting me with more drinks. In the early hours of the morning, I was getting tired and wanted to go back to the hotel but Matthew wouldn’t come. He was so busy trying to impress these so-called friends, so I went back on my own and went to bed.
The next morning, he dropped a bombshell: he had spent all our money for the whole week the previous night! It turned out that he had been buying all the drinks for the whole group – I just assumed that he’d been taking it in turns with the other guys. I’d worked hard for months, saving up enough spending money so we could have a nice time and he’d just blown it all in one evening.
I was absolutely livid. It just showed how immature he was – he was so busy showing off that he’d spent literally every penny we had. He ruined that holiday because he was trying to play the big man. We had massive rows and I hated him for that; we should have been having a lovely holiday but instead we had literally no money and could barely afford to eat for the rest of the week. We couldn’t do anything. It was awful and we were miserable, so we just argued more and more as the week went on – made even worse by the fact we were in each other’s pockets and neither of us could escape to work!
I kept thinking back to the girls’ holiday I’d been on to Ayia Napa with Carly and Nikki. It had been such a laugh and I’d had such a fantastic time. The whole week I was in Marbs with Matthew, I was remembering those days in Cyprus and what a good laugh the girls and me had had – I wished I was with them.
After that holiday, I knew in my head that I had to dump him, so I did. At least I tried, but, every time I told him that I wanted to leave, he would talk me out of it and promise me the world, so I ended up staying. Sometimes he would even cry.
And then, just a few months later in June 2001, my whole world was tipped upside down.
