***Claire's POV***

Loss.

Pain.

Agony.

Suffering.

These four things come in peoples life one time or the other but in some cases it comes together. All of it. I know it. Pain because i lost my best friend. Yes i did. After that single kiss my and James relation has been shattered. Maybe because of me. Maybe because he too is feeling guilty for what happened. I never thought James would kiss me. Out of all people when i finally let myself trust him he let it all down. He probably knows that too. The reason he is avoiding me in school today.  Again. Loss because i lost my one and true love. For it too i feel pain and thus agony and suffering. Maybe its all interlinked. If you feel any one of this you feel the others as well.

Its Tuesday today. Zachs exams have finished yesterday but he didnt decide to call me. He probably needs time as he said. Yesterday only i found out that Harry's girlfriend is Zach's best friend. Harry tried to ask Kath about Zach but she clearly waved it off. In front of me i might add. I bet anything she said something to Harry because he too is avoiding me. It was actually fitting.

And here i am sitting in the art class thinking about all these stuffs when clearly i have some assignments to finish. It is the last period of the day. I want to finish it and go straight home.

"Claire. Please concentrate on your work." My art teacher said. I looked around and saw everyone had started unlike me.

"Yes mam." With that i started my work leaving all my thoughts because art was one thing which i loved.

SAME TIME

***Zach's POV***

What am u going to do? Will she even agree on this? I had told Kath and she told Harry. I thought Harry would be annoyed at me. I thought he would have killed me! But little did i know that we both have faced the same consequences. We both were jealous of each other. I was jealous because Claire was close to him and he was jealous because Kath was close to me. He told me this yesterday only. He made me understand that he was exactly like me. Like i was protective of Kath so was he of Claire. When he said things this way it actually made sense. But then i remembered James. I asked Harry about him. Harry, he told me, or rather made me understand that Claire did not love him. He forcefully kissed her. He forced her, that bastard. I was about to loose it when Harry again made me understand that James had apologized.

I must admit he is a very sensible guy. He is really sensible. No doubt my best friend fell for him. She was always searching for this kind of guy. And she did. Sometimes i feel like i want to be like him. But then again i remember that Claire loves me for who i am.

Okay. I seriously got off the topic. I am now scared since i am here waiting for her. I dont know what else to do. Im standing here and my phone buzzed. A text from Kath and Harry from Harry's cell. The text read:

All the Best. You will succeed.

P. S. Our blessings our always with you. xD

P. P. S. It was not me. It was Kath seriously. All the best!

-H & K

They sure can be funny some times.

More 5 minutes. I looked at my watch.

***Claire's POV***

MORE FIVE MINUTES!! And then i will leave the goddamn school. I dont know why i keep hating all the things. After what happened with Zach nothing makes me feel alright. Every other minute i nurst out on my friends. They perhaps are disgusted with me. Either blabbering away my sorrow or taking out my anger on them. Sure they dont show that to me and use kind words to help me but i sure as fuck think they too want to leave me. Like everyone did. Like everyone turned their back on me when i needed them the most. Like Caroline. Like James. Like.... Zach. It paims me to even think of him.

I slowly got up and handed my work to the teacher and left. I went to the school's football ground to catch up with Harry. I cant deny but i was also hoping to bump into James.

Boy, seriously my prayers weee answered. There was James kissing a girl.

Wait, what?

I walked further to see if my eyes were decieving or not but boy my eyes were right. He was actually kissing a girl sweetly and tenderly. I felt happy for him.

You might be thinking after being friends with him, knowing he loves me, knowing he kissed me might make me feel a jealous. But no. There was not an inch of jealousy within me. I accept i am a little jealous of James now. How come he found his girl when i didnt get my guy?

I cleared my throat. "Aha. Look who i bump into."

I saw James turning around frightened. And then when he saw it was me he relaxed a bit. I still could not see the girl. James hid her. That means she should be small.

Small enough...

"Okay now i want to see the girl." I say sternly.

He hesitated. "Dont be mad, angry or whatever. It just sort of happened. She was there for me when no one was. And tha-"

I wasnt listening. "Cut the crap."

He looked at me doubtfully. But then he showed me his girl.

First i was shocked. My mouth was hanging open. But then i smiled and had a huge grin on my face.

"About time." I said.

I pulled them into tight hug. All my anger on James had vanished. I knew he liked her. I knew she did too. And it was about time. Though they were caught not telling me, i still loved them both. Them.

James and Bonnie.

《Here is where the chapter ends. Plus i think it might be the second last chap. I know its a suspense. What is Zach planning to do yada yada. You probably want more of Zach and Claire.

To be absolutely honest, even before writing this chap i didnt know where i wanted to head to. Sad or happy? But i have finally decided. As i said it might be the second last chap. Im gonna finish it soon. Since its my first book it might not be like other stories.

But...  

Dont think im gonna tell you now here only. Whether its a sad ending or a happy one.

All you have to do is wait. For it to happen.

Dont forget, after all things happen for a reason!

Love,
Hugs,
Elena. XOXO.
