Saving Aliyah (editing)

-Aliyah Cameron-
*four weeks later*

"You two kissed?" I asked staring at Cesare in shock "oh, please say it louder so Alastair can hear you Aliyah." He glares

I should've noticed how close Cesare and Claire were getting, I mean, it was kind of obvious he liked her

"I'm sorry, but I can't believe you two kissed" I say shocked "why do you say it like that?" Cesare asked, I shrugged, what I've noticed from Claire, is it seems to be she hates when people give her affection, I've seen her freeze when Alastair does it.

"Ever since we kissed, she just- it seems like she doesn't want to even be around me." Cesare says, I frowned "have you guys even tried to talk?"

"I don't think she wants to, after the kiss, she just- she looked at me with regret, and apologized before leaving." He says, Cesare looks down at the ground "do you think she's scared?" I asked

"Claire isn't scared of anything."

Is what he says, but it's definitely not true if she left after kissing him, I sighed, and looked over seeing Claire standing off in the corner "I'm going to go- bye" I say getting up and leaving

"Aliyah-"

"So sorry, can't hear, too far!" I smiled seeing Alastair "hi muffin"

"Hey sweetheart."

-Claire Diaz-

I watched as Aliyah walked away from Cesare, going to Alastair, I look at Cesare as he sits on the ground.

I find myself walking towards him, sitting beside him "hey." I say, he looks at me and smiles "hey"

I sighed, I shouldn't have kissed him. "I'm sorry about what happened." I say, avoiding his face, I see Cesare shrugging "it's fine" he said

"No it's not, I shouldn't have kissed you, it was wrong." I say, I regret doing it, I regret it so much.

"Claire it's fine, really."

"No it's not, I regret doing it."

Cesare's face drops, and he clears his throat nodding his head "yeah- no I get it, it's fine." He says, I shut my eyes tightly as I realized what I said

"I didn't mean it-"

"Claire, it's fine, and just so you know, I would never leave you."

Cesare gets up off the floor and walks away, my eyes widened as he walks away. I'm such a fucking idiot.

-Aliyah Cameron-

"What do you think happened?" I asked Alastair as we both see Claire sitting on the ground, Alastair shrugged "if he said some fucked up shit to her I'll kill him." He grits, I roll my eyes

After a while Claire gets up off the ground and goes inside, closing the door shut and what looks to be going upstairs.

I slapped his chest "leave them alone muffin." I say, he rolls his eyes "I don't want him dating her." He says, I sighed "well, it's getting cold out and I wanna go inside." I say smiling at him, he nods his head and grabs my hand taking me inside

"I'm gonna go change, and possibly steal one of your hoodies" I smile at Alastair who nods his head.

When I'm done changing there's a knock at my door "Aliyah- can- can I come in?" I hear Claire's voice, my eyebrows furrow in confusion, when I open the door I notice she was crying.
