Bloodshed

Chapter 29: Insecurities

Gregory's point of view:

" I can't contact her. "

" Do you think Ripper already got her? "

" I don't know! I didn't see her at the airport since I talked to her in the car a few hours ago. Damn, I'm so stupid to let her get out of my sight, knowing that she's in danger! "

" Let me get this straight, 'kay? you said that you were doubting her love for you? Great! *sarcasm* She's probably mad at you right now for saying that! "

I sighed and closed my eyes.
Meredith was right. I pushed it too far.

I shouldn't have said that. I shouldn't have hurt her feelings. I know her love was real and genuine, but it just saddens me that she had hiding so many things from me.

I just couldn't accept it.

All I want is a normal relationship with her, nothing else. I never thought this would go hard for the both of us. I'm tired of bearing it.

" L-Look, I just want her honesty and trust. We're together now. That's what couples do right? Never hide secrets from each other. And Trust is a very big thing. When everything worsens, I can't be able to accept our relationship falling apart. I don't want any regrets afterwards. I need to fix this. "

Meredith comforted me by massaging my shoulder. I know she feels my pain.

" And what's your plan now? "

" I need to find Clara first, and make sure she's safe. It was actually the first thing on my mind right now. "

" Right. Be careful on your way. Just call me if you need anything. :) "

I smiled,stood up and hugged Meredith tightly. I am so lucky to have her as my best friend.

She's been with me all the way. She had cried with me during the worst days of my life, and laughs with me during happy and great times.

Words can even explain how happy I am to have her by my side.

She was smiling happily at me. Her eyes glinting with happiness.

" Thanks for being with me, sugar. I'm so glad to have you. "

I said, hugging her tightly.

"Yeah dude, don't mention it. "

I proceeded to my bedside table, I grabbed my jacket, car keys and cellular phone then went off.

This time, I'm going to do everything I can to fix everything that we needed to fix.

Clara's point of view:

" What did you say?"

I sighed and looked down.

" I didn't able to follow the plan. I already killed Ripper few hours ago. I'm s-sorry... "

Clarisse stood there, her jaws dropped, and she looked obviously shocked and surprised.

" I let my anger controlled me. I don't know what came to me that time. He kidnapped me and begged me to hook up with him again, and we would make a partnership against Scarlette Lee and make a plan to get rid of her. I was fuming mad, I really don't know what to do. I just let my emotions control me, I killed him. "

I saw Clarisse made her way towards the couch, she sat and grabbed the glass of wine on the center table. She looked at me.

She was smiling at me.

Wait, she isn't mad at me?

I broke our rule, and I committed a mistake and let my anger controlled me. It was my darkest enemy, my uncontrollable anger and rage. Clarisse told me not to succumb in my anger or else we would lose easily.

And Ripper was bound to be killed at the end of the year, that was according to our plan.

But I just killed him today.

" It's okay,Clara. I understand your situation. Ripper was such a pain in the ass and a complete threat against our plans. It's right that you got rid of him as soon as possible. "

" You're not angry? "

" No. Why would I, sweetheart? " You absolutely just did your part. "

" So, who's the next victim? Scarlett Lee was next according to the plan. She will be discharging from hospital tomorrow night. "

" Is that so? Well, she's next then. But we have to plan carefully the steps. Scarlette Lee maybe stupid, but she got a dozen of bodyguards at her side. It might be hard for us to attack her right then. "

" Okay. So, when will we exactly execute the plan? "

" No rush, Clara. We can do it next week. We needed a rest too, you know. This killing thing is obviously making me crazy. We'd take a week off. Let's go to vacation or something."

" You go ahead. I'm not really into vacations, you know. "

Clarisse laughed.

" You sure? I'll book a flight for Paris tonight. You're not going to change your mind?"

" No. I prefer staying here:). "

" Oh, okay then. I'll just call you when I get home. And, don't hesitate to call me when you need something, sis:) "

" yeah, thanks. "

Clarisse went to her room to prepare for her Paris vacation.

I sat on the couch and sigh deeply and closed my eyes.

All my life, I was jealous of my twin.

She was carefree, confident and strong. She wasn't afraid to show her true personality in front of everyone. She was adventurous, and loved going on vacations, meeting new people and exploring new things.

While me...

A good for nothing nerd.

Always hiding in her shell, always afraid to come out and explore. My weak confidence is another enemy of mine. I was always afraid to show people who I really am because all my life, I was drowned in insecuritities and judgements.

That's why I'm always pretending and hiding in different coats.

I was so lost in my thoughts when somebody knocked on the door.

My eyes widened when I saw who it is..

" Clara... "

" Gregory..."

------

Whoa! Why do you think of Greg's sudden visit? Is it plainly because he just wanted to check on Clara?

I don't think so!!:D
