Twisted

Chapter 16: Never the one

Lucas reached for Clara's pants when Max bursted through the door and slammed it open.

"YOU WHORE! YOU FUCKING SLUT! " she screamed at me, which brought attention and many. People gathered around the washroom, peeking their heads between the others, trying to get a better view of what going on in here. Harry and Pearl pushed through the crowds to come up front.

Clara felt so embarrassed at people staring at her in this situation and tears poured from her eyes. 

Pearl stood in shock, looking at her boyfriend having sex with her best friend. There was nothing worse than this that could happen. She should've known from the way he kept making excuses to invite Clara on their dates or how his eyes roamed around her when she was passing by. This was all her fault. How could she have been so blind and fallen for a guy who was destined to break her heart?

 Lucas moved away from her and zipped his pants.

"Thia was all her fault, I told her to stay away from me, but she kept insisting and I am so drunk I can't even think straight. This was your plan all along wasn't it Clara? To break us up!" Lucas screamed at her.

"You are more dangerous than I thought. How could you have done this bitch? I knew you were a terrible person, you must have lured Lucas somehow with your evil charm somehow. You wanted this to happen. Didn't you?" Max added shamelessly, yelling insults at her.

Clara couldn't believe this was actually happening, she was the victim here but everyone were looking at her as if she was the one that committed the crime. People were believing Max over her.

Clara looked at Harry for support hoping he would defend her and stand against these creatures who were blaming her and take her away from this cruelness. But he didn't do anything to shut up Max, he instead looked down, his not showing any emotion and standing like a half-dead man. 

Why wasn't he saying anything? Does he buy this act? Does he think Clara actually wanted to..

She couldn't wait any longer, standing in front of swarm of people who assume she's the worst and the only person she thought would help her, believes the lies like everyone else. Why is this happening to her? Who else can she rely on?

She ran out on to the streets not stopping to take a breath. She felt so embarrassed and ashamed she wanted to run away from it all. She ran and ran and ran until she reached in front of her house.

Everythign appeared blurry because of the tears that wouldn't stop. She wiped her tears with the back of her and juggled in her purse in search for her keys but she couldn't find them. She rechecked in all of the zips but she couldn't find it. What is happening?

She called her mom, but she was with Lexi at her friend Lily's house and it might be late till she comes back and she couldt hear Lexi on the other side begging for some more time to play.

Her eyes lingered on the name in her contacts, having a tug of war with herself deciding whether she should call him or not.

Her hand were shaking relentlessly and she accidentally dialled him. The phone rang for many seconds and she thought to cut the phone but the line has already been connected.

"Hello" she answered into the phone her hands trembling and her mind foggy with all the crying.

"Um- Harry is busy right now" a voice replied, and it didn't take her long to recognize the familiarity in the voice. 

Max.

She cut the call immediately and threw it on the ground, getting angry for trusting Harry and believing he could change. He had to be here with her, but instead he is with Max doing god knows what. It wasn't even much time since it happened and still, he was with Max.
