Drowned

Chapter 5

Claire's Pov

Oh look who we have here, it's a pity your sister had to go for you" he smirked with an expressionless face
My hands were itchy

"Just a slap and she hit her..." I slapped him really hard before he could finish his statement as he wiped the blood that oozed out from his mouth then the officer rushed in I was really fighting back my tears why is he so heartless.. He's not even showing any sign of remorse

"Just? You're a monster!!...devil!!....you-you killed my sister and you could still talk to me that way? Di-did y-you even have a heart? Do-do you know the pain you caused me? " I spat between tears then he has this unreadable emotion I couldn't decipher before he smiled and put on a scorn on his face... as I yanked his collar with so much disgust

"W-why did you do it?" I asked calmly more like a whisper with tears streaming down my eyes... he looked taken aback for a moment with an hurtful expression as his eyes held a lot... 'like there was more to this' but was quick to hide it back with a hard scorn...I was pained but what he said next was million times more than the pain I felt... as if I was hammered ruthlessly on the head... it shattered me completely

"must I have a reason?" he spat without a hint of emotion as I hit his face really hard with my hands... the slap echoed really hard in the building as officers turned towards us heading to our side... I was expecting him to be angry but he remained emotionless... he's such a devil... how can a living being say something like this?

"And-and you called yourself a human?" I managed to say trying to fight back the tears rolling down my eyes as I stepped back from him...he looked away as I thought he blinked a tear off his eyes avoiding my eye contact... did he just shed a tear?... no no no that's not possible for the devil standing in my front before he turned to me with a cold face...I wanted to die... but I must know the reason as I yanked his collar again

"Why did you do it you devil??? Why does it have to be Cl-her?" I spat bitterly at his face in tears...I couldn't even bring myself to mention her name because I was beyond broken as the officers ran to my side trying to Free him from my tight hold as he smirked...

"Look who's calling someone a devil... a pest you dare embarrass my...."

"Time up Stefano" the officer cut him off so that's even his name has he was handcuffed back to the cell with his cold eyes on me

"Rot in hell you bastard...I hate you and I'll never forgive you!!!" I yelled on his face as I left the station then his last statement occurred to me 'how dare you embarrass my ...' embarrass his what? No way is he talking about the cafeteria? oh God! all this feels like nightmare to me that I can't wait to wake up from this bad dream... I ruffled my hair as I sat down at the bus stop that night, I couldn't stop crying I buried my face on my laps because it all my fault.

****

"Oh my God ...she's right here" I heard a voice saying the next morning still at the bus stop as they all rushed down to me.

"God did you know how long we've all been looking for you?" Bianca said trying to catch her breathe

"Claire your eyes are all swollen" Tirana said soberly

"Claire this heartbreaking we know it's hard but for Clara sake stop please she won't be happy to see you like this" Bianca added as I looked up to the other side to see Max and Carlo all frustrated with their hair unkempt

"Can you guys let me be....don't appear in my front again leave me the hell alone!!!" I yelled on their faces as they looked at me with expressionless face

"Never" Max said firmly as he took a seat beside me

"We're going nowhere" Carlo added
"We're like magnet Claire we're glued together" Tirana said

"Get use to us because you'll always see our faces whether you like it or not" Bianca added

"So quit pushing us away... We're going nowhere" Max finalized looking at me as my eyes became teary again what can I do without them?

Few days later the case was taken to the court for the final judgment but the judge shocked me

Stefano was released on the bail of 10 million dollars, his friends were sent to a year imprisonment. My brain wanted to burst ...what the hell? Why should they release the devil? As the judge stood up to go out I ran after him in tears ... people tried to stop me but I was stronger because I could kill anyone at the moment

"You're such a maniac!!! I thought you were supposed to bring justice? Well I always knew this government was shitty!! But not to stoop this low...." I paused and sobbed in ignoring eyes trying to tell me to stop

"You're one of those destroying this country with your covetousness for money...how much were you given uh? 10 million dollars? Answer me bullhead!!!" I yelled on his face as the officers tried to hold me back

"Watch your tongue young lady except..."

"Except what? Arrest me? Kill me? That's what you're good at...harming the innocent and releasing the bad ones... shame on you all and rot in hell!!!" I spat at the officer in tears

"Its fine let her be" the judge said as I turned back to him furiously...how dare him try to act nice!!
"Let her be...that your lips that looks like my neighbor's cock, I will never forget your ugly face! Damn the money, damn you, damn your life!!!" I spat at him angrily as my friends came to drag me out of the place... people were shocked , some were recording and some eyes almost popped out but I cared less ....pain cannot describe what I felt at the moment... I was bitter...

Days later, news went viral that Stefano and his family relocated Rome not long also Ryder's own came in that they relocated to the New York City... it was unbelievable

The man behind the whole scheme and the carrier were gone... No -no it can't be I went down and cried again everything was happening too fast, I wish someone could just pinch me out of this dream but no it real

Clara gone is REAL
Ryder gone is REAL
Stefano gone is REAL... I choked... breathing was hard

"Why me!!!" I cried out feeling so helpless staring blankly at the sky...why does it hurt this much? The pain was unbearable... I felt empty within, ending my life was better than this...I wasn't feeling my body again as I went down hugging my knees and burying my head on my laps...I have nothing to fight for anymore, feeling of disconnectedness held me down and overwhelmed my system... I was drowned.
