This Town

Chapter: 3 The Pub

I looked around the pub, and I saw her. But this time not alone, she was with a guy! I can't see the guy properly because of the lightenings. But, I can tell he has his arms around her. I felt crushed.

Greg: "Look, Clare!" he exclaimed 

Niall: "Yeah."

Greg: "Wanna go and say 'Hi'?"

Niall: "Sure."

We walked towards her. I don't know why, but I'm getting that same feeling I got when we first met. Wish it was our first meeting without this guy. Then I would be the one having his arms around her.

Greg: "Hey, Clare." he said, hugging her, and she hugged him back.

Clare: "Hey! What brought you here?"

Greg: "Niall here, just got back in the town, so we decided to chill one night and have some bro time. After that, we're going to be busy."

Clare: "Yeah. True."

She looked at me. I thought she was still mad at me, but she looks fine. Maybe because of that guy.

Clare: "Hi, Niall." she said, taking out her hand for a handshake.

Niall: "Hi." I said, handshaking her.

Greg: "Who is this handsome guy?"

He must have noticed the look in my eyes, I was giving to him. "I should stop." I thought.

Clare: "Oh. He is my boyfriend, Nick."

Boyfriend? My heart just broke into millions of pieces. I don't want to have fun anymore, I just want to go back home and cry. I am not one of those boys who act strong. If I have to cry, I will cry. But, right now, I don't want to cry in front of Clare and her new boyfriend.

Greg: "Hey! Nice to meet you. I am Greg, and he's my brother, Niall."

Nick: "Hi. Nice to meet you too. Oh, and this is Niall!?" He said, looking at Clare for confirmation.

Nick: "Hi, Niall. I am Clare's boyfriend." He was for sure up to something. I know who you are, Clare's 'boyfriend'. I heard her and Greg talking too.

Niall: "Hi."

Nick: "Well, we are going to take a leave. You guys enjoy your evening." He said, and put his arms around Clare, and walked in the other direction.

How am I even going to enjoy the evening when he just ruined it even if he didn't say much.

Greg: "Niall?"

Niall: "Yeah?"

Greg: "Wanna have some drinks?"

Niall: "Alright."

I was crushed, and I guess this is the right place for me to be when heartbroken, and also Clare just left so, it's great.

I told the bartender my order, and he quickly brought me my drink.

(After Two hours)

I only had 5 shots, but I'm not able to stand properly though, the best part is I can think straightly. I asked Greg if we should leave he agreed, and now we're on our way back home. But, right now one thing is stuck in my mind, and I can't get it out of my mind. I can't get Clare out of my mind. She looked so pretty as always today, but anything different today was that it wasn't my hand around her, it was someone else's.

As I was thinking about all of these things, Greg pulled up in front of the house. I got out and quickly went to my room. I was feeling so tired.

I opened the door to my room and suddenly inhaled the scent of my room which I did before too but couldn't recognize. This scent was none other than Clare's. My mum once told me that she had my room untouched after I left, and this is the reason, why Clare's scent is still present in my room after all, back then, she was 24/7 at my home. Now, I realize how much I've missed her. I quickly changed my clothes and went straight to my bed and in no time, I was asleep. I saw my phone ringing and the caller id said 'Zayn.' I wasn't in the mood to talk to him right now, and as I was tired so, I switched off my phone.

(Flashback)

I woke up with the sound of my alarm going off. I didn't want to wake Clare up so I quickly dismissed the alarm. As I turned to the other side, I saw her sleeping peacefully. She looked so pretty even though she's sleeping. While I was admiring her beauty, I saw her move. She quickly opened her eyes and saw me staring at her, a smile quickly arose on her face. I got up and kissed her on her cheeks. After that, I went to take a bath. I quickly stepped into the shower and took my time.

When I went outside, I saw Clare sitting on the bed

Niall: "Good Morning, babe."

Clare: "Good Morning."

Niall: "You can take a shower now, and I'm going to make breakfast for us."

Clare: "Oh. Great."

She went into the bathroom, and I went to the kitchen. My parents have gone on a one-week vacation. So I and Clare are all alone. She does go to her house, but not for a very long time since she knows I don't like to be alone. I quickly took out a frying pan and started making waffles. Just as I was done, I heard Clare coming downstairs, so I quickly got a plate and put her waffles in it. She came into the kitchen and sat on one of the chairs. I quickly served her, her breakfast and we both started eating.
