THIRTY-ONE: CLARA

Clara held the phone tightly in her hand as it buzzed. Ringing four times and then stopping only to start up again a second later.

For every call she didn't answer he called her back double.

Each time she didn't answer her heart broke a little bit more.

But she couldn't do this, couldn't put up with someone who kept things from her. She could be with someone who was with someone else.

With all the lights turned off in the dorm she curled up on her bed and watched the phone as it lit up with every single ignored call.

After two hours the phone finally stopped ringing and Clara cried herself to sleep.
