"Hello?" Clara answered the phone.
"Oh, it's you... I was expecting William." The woman on the other line spoke in an irritated tone.
"Hello to you too, Mrs. Afton." Clara sat at the edge of her bed, an annoyed expression on her face. One and only thing the two women could agree on is disliking each other.
"Are you and William still together? Bloody hell! I never thought you'd last so long."
"Mhm... Well we did last long, unlike Williams father."
"You really have no shame, do you?"
"No." Clara was known for being a kind-hearted, loving, caring and shy person, but when it came to Williams parents she was anything but that. In fact, she was like a, a little less mean female William.
"Y'know Clara, I could never picture you and William as a couple, you two simply make no sense to me. Especially you. You were always utter rubbish to me. You still are."
"Aww how sweet, something we agree on." She spoke in a sarcastic sweet tone.
"I'm serious. I know you act mean towards me because you dislike me, which, in my opinion, is utterly pathetic. I still don't understand what William likes so much about you that he decided to leave his whole family behind for a stupid, insecure, little slug." Clara sat there in silence. If she was being honest, the words were too much for her, even though she would always say Williams mother's words don't affect her, they do, anyones words affect her.
"What? Kitty got your tongue, Claire?" Clara swallowed her spit.
"It's Clara." Her voice was cracking.
"Aww, did I hurt your feelings?" Williams mom spoke in a mocking comforting voice.
"No. Why would I-"
"Care about what someone like me thinks? Well you obviously do. You act so tough and serious, but in reality you're just a little scaredy cat. No, you're like a little rabbit, jumping everywhere even though you don't belong there. Maybe that's why Williams favourite animal is rabbits."
"I don't act tough. I act like myself."
"Yeah, yeah, say what you want, but do you actually think William loves you?"
"Y-yes," her voice trembled and she bit her lip. "William loves me and I love him very much."
"That man is incapable of love."
"Maybe love towards you."
"Haha hilarious, but no. He may act like a good dad and husband, but deep inside he's a soulless, heartless monster, waiting to be risen."
"Even if he is a monster waiting to be risen, he would never hurt me or the kids on purpose. He would do anything to protect us."
"Whatever. But do not be surprised if you find him on another woman. Before we moved to U. S. he changed women like he changes socks." And with that, she hung up the phone.Clara at first doubted what she was told, but then she remembered William told her the same thing. It might seem weird someone like William is a womaniser or was, but he was.
A tear rolled down Claras cheek and she burst into tears, lying down and showing her face into her pillow.
Around fifteen minutes passed and William finally arrived home from work. He slowly opened the door to his bedroom and walked in on a crying, sobbing and wailing Clara. He closed the door behind him and walked up to the bed. He kneeled down and started petting Claras head.
"Hi sweetie..." William spoke in a sweet and soft tone.
"Will." Clara looked at her husband, her voice small, William could tell she was in great pain.
"What happened?" He put his hand on her cheek, wiping away her tears with his thumb.
"I- your mom happened." She broke down again.
"Oh my poor baby," He hugged her head with both his hands. "Don't listen to her foolish words my baby, you know I love you."
"I do." She sobbed and hugged William around his chest. "I'm sorry I'm such a crybaby..." She spoke in his ear.
"Y'know I love you just the way you are. You don't have to change a thing about yourself." Clara sniffled, putting her face into Williams hair and kissing it.
"I'm going out bow- Hey what happened to mum?" Michael bursted in the room.
"Your grandmother happened."
"Can I call her to tell her she's a raging bitch?"
"Do what you want. Now get out!!!" William gave Michael a death stare causing him to run out of the room.
"What can I do to make you feel better my love?" William turned back to his wife.
"I don't know. Lay down with me please?"
"Of course."Clara moved to the middle of the bed as William got under the covers with her. He wiped her face with his hands and kissed her forehead.
"Sleep tight." He closed his eyes.
"Aren't you gonna get changed?"
"Nooo..." Clara sniffed, she was a little more calm than before. She nuzzled her nose into his, soon dozing off.Hello, sorry I was absent for over a month, school was ending and I had a lot on my plate. I also started working out again so yeah.
