Broken In two

Chapter 7

Claire's POV
Me and Lisa have been staying within the hideout of those who also hate and despise the power that he has yearned to take advantage of our vulnerability and everyone else's. Especially Lisa. He has left her in ruins. Tearing her world in two. Permanently jeopardising her future.

"Lisa, come on, you have been in your room for ages since we first got here. Everyone once to meet you" I shout from the living room, the place in which we hangout and have the freedom to do pretty much what we want.

With a sigh, I make my up the stairs, to once again reason with her stubborn behaviour that I constantly have to deal with, everyday since the first time we got here. Her door was stood ajar so I slowly made my way in. Lisa was on her bed, staring blankly in space, time seemingly slowing down for her in her traumatic state. "Come on, Lisa. Why don't come down and come meet everyone. They are dying to meet you." My voice was gentle and soft, yet she still never moved from the still like motion that she was displaying.

I give up. I slowly make my way out of her room. Defeat clearly written all over my face. "Claire, Marshall and Daniella were wondering wether you would like to help them pull a prank on Laura to cheer her up a bit. Ever since Lisa hasn't been with her, she's acting sort of weird if you know what I mean. I swear Lisa is so selfish!" Said josh. There was a hint of sadness in his voice.

Claire and Marshall, as well as josh are the friends that I have met within the team. They fill the hole in which Lisa was meant to fill, to be a loving friend to me and always being there for me not the other way around. It's as if I am Lisa's mother, thinking only about her and putting up with the child behaviour that she shows for the past four years! I have never never lived my life the way I wanted, I always have to pick up after her. What she has done for me is nothing!

At this sudden realisation I push past Josh, which I will apologise for later, and grip Lisa by the shoulders. Not hard but to bring her to my attention. "Lisa why are you doing this to me, your only friend who has been their for you no matter what! For my whole life I looked up to you as a big sister, a role model. But what you have made me do for you! How selfish can you get! You are not the same Lisa that I once knew but a stranger! With that I run out of the room. My steaks of tears overflowing my cheeks and with my hand clasp above my mouth. The last thing that I saw was Lisa finally getting out of her traumatic state and gazing after me.
