CLAUDIA POV
I am so angry at Brittany I feel like she is just being so stubborn. Does she not realise how much she is hurting Luke. I decided to stay at Gina's for a few nights but first I'll pack my things then take them to mums I can't stand Brit at the moment so it's best I stay there.
We drop Brittany off and drive back home.
"Gina I miss them already" I say as I look at the window.
"Hun so do I. Those boys are my everything and now with them somewhere else kills me but I could never tell them that" Gina admitted.
We pull in the drive and we both get out. I walk in, its so quiet and I hate it.
I walk up to Jai and Luke's room it smells like them and I miss them so much. I put on one of Jai's hoodies and take some stuff of mine to mums.
"Hey mum" I yell when I get there
"Hey hun Brittany is in her room" mum tells from the kitchen.
"Hey" I say pushing the door open.
"Hi" She says real weirdly.
"Brit please tell Luke you went to the airport." I say looking at her.
"No claudia you don't understand" Brittany yells.
"that's fucking it! Stop being so stubborn! Everyone had been like 'aww poor Brittany' and shit like that but what about Luke! Just because he didn't tell you he was leaving you decide to break up with him. That boy has done nothing fucking wrong! He has done so much for you and you can't even fucking tell him that you care for him! He is the best thing that is ever happened to you and you are just throwing it away! Well I have had enough everybody is hurting brittany it's not just you so stop being such a fucking cow" I yell and slam the door to her bedroom. I walk through the lounge and mum just looks at me.
"What the hell Claudia?" She says confused.
"I'm staying at Gina's for a few nights. I can't be here right now." I say then walk out the door and hop in Gina's car. Gina could tell I was angry, I could see it in her face. She didn't bring it up though. I tried to break the awkwardness.
"Jai said they're coming home in three months, that'll go really fast. I mean I finish school in four months." I say happily.
"Yea but they're only here for a couple of weeks, then they're going back." Gina says sighing.
"What you mean only a couple weeks?" I ask.
"Well yea, they can't stay away from LA for too long." Gina says.
"But I thought once they came back they'd be back for good." I say.
"No sweetie, they've moved to LA." Gina told me apologetically. I'm so annoyed at Jai, he never made it clear that they were moving, he made me think he was coming back, for good. I feel so stupid, and angry. And now I can kind of understand why Brit did what she did and now I feel bad for throwing a psych at her, I still think she made the wrong decision but I can see where she's coming from. Now I don't know what I'm gonna do.
BRITTANY'S POV
I just sat in my room in shock. I had no idea where that came from. To be honest I'm kind of pissed off. I've always tried to make it clear that Luke wasn't in the wrong I was just trying to do what's best for him, he shouldn't have to be tied down to a girl he won't be seeing for months at a time. He deserves to be free and happy and I don't think I could've have given that to him while I'm living here. I get that Luke got hurt and so did I but that was the only way it could've really happened. I think Claudia's outburst wasn't just because she was angry at me I think she's also upset about them all leaving and she hasn't really had time to let out her emotions. But I'm still pissed off at her. Being here at home all I do is think and I want to stop thinking, I've gotta get out of here.
"Bob can I borrow your car, please?" I ask after I've gotten changed into a dress and heels.
"Uhh yea sure." She had her back towards me because she was watching TV.
"Thanks." I said as I grabbed the keys and left. I drove to the first club I saw. I had my fake ID from when Claudia and I were back in New Zealand and we'd sneak into clubs with our older friends. I never thought I'd use it again but I really just wanted to let loose a bit and not have to be thinking about Luke 24/7. It was 9:00 at night and it seemed like a pretty popular place. I sat at the bar and ordered a shot of vodka, handing my ID over nervously hoping the bartender wouldn't say anything. Luckily he didn't and gave me my shot. I had a few drinks but I wasn't completely drunk, I just felt more relaxed. A guy invited me to dance with him and I accepted, I just thought why not? We were dancing and having a good time and then he put his hands on my waist. At first I didn't mind and then I couldn't help but think of Luke and how much this would hurt him and also I'm not this kind of person. I tried pushing the guy off of me but he just pulled me in closer. I keep trying to push but then he started kissing my neck.
"Get off!" I said while pushing him but he wouldn't budge.
Suddenly a guy came over and pushed him off me. "Hey she said get off." The random stranger said.
"Whatever man." The guy I was dancing with said as he tried to grab me again. All of a sudden the stranger punched the guy I was dancing with and I had a flashback of mine and Luke's first date when he punched a guy who tried to get with me. I zoned out and the stranger was getting kicked out of the club and the dancing dude was being taken into a corner because he was bleeding. I ran to get my purse and then ran outside. I saw the guy and ran over to him.
"Hey." I shouted to him. He turned around. He was tall with sandy blonde hair and blue eyes, he was pretty good looking.
"Oh uhh hi." He said as he scratched the back of his neck.
"Umm thank you for helping me out back in there. I uhh didn't get your name." I said to him.
"It's Max and it was no problem." I couldn't help but notice his accent.
"Where are you from, Max?" I asked him.
"I'm from Los Angeles in America." Wow, what a small world.
"Oh really my friends just moved there."
"Cool are you planning on visiting?" He asked.
"Maybe, maybe not. Just see how things go ha know?"
"Yea I get it. Well I'm headed back home tomorrow, so if you do decide to visit I might see you again." He said as he gave me a smile.
"Yea, that would be nice to see my rescuer again." He laughed. "I'm Brittany by the way."
"Nice to meet you Brittany, who I may or may not see again." He said while starting to walk away.
"You know you can have my number?" I told him.
"I prefer to leave things up to chance, if the universe wants us to meet again, we will." I just smiled at what he said. Then I thought he was just blowing me off, he probably knew I was only 17, I'm surprised though at how relaxed I felt with a complete stranger, then again I'm slightly intoxicated. I walked to the car and got in. I didn't feel very drunk but I didn't know if I was under the limit or not. I decided I might as well drove home, it's only a ten minute drive. Luckily I got home without being arrested, it felt good to get out and stop caring for just a night. As soon as I got in my bed I was out to it.
