The Inside Story

Chapter 15- The Terrifying Moment

*Claire's Pov*

Words can't explain how terrified I am right now.

A hour ago....

When I woke up from my nap, I checked my phone to see that Heather, the girl who gives me the best weapons, had texted me to meet her at a small restaurant.

I quickly got ready and left the house so, I can visit her.

Once I reached there, I saw Heather texting really fast on her phone, I bet it has to be Todd, her fake boyfriend, who else would she be texting that fast? I walked towards her and slapped her head, "What's up?"

She looked at me fiercely, "The guy I asked to track down Todd refused me. What the hell do I do now?"

I was taken back; I never thought this far about the plan.

The plan was to get Todd, a guy who Heather is fake dating, to expose that he took the weapons that she made and gave it out to people as if it was his own. Todd doesn't know it is her weapons because she always hides her face behind a scarf when selling it to people. Now Heather is clearly upset that her business is going down because of him.

I looked at her with a serious face, "What the hell do we do now?"

She groan and was about to say something until Ace came up to us. "Claire?"

I was shocked, how did he know this place? "What are you doing here?"

Heather looked at both of us, "Wait, how do you guys know each other?"

I smirked at her, "He is my neighbor."

Ace bit his lip, wow he looks hot now, "How do you guys know each other?"

Fuck, never thought about this. I couldn't help but be nervous."

Heather suddenly spoke up, "I know her by Clark."

I mentally high five her, that's my friend!

He looked like he didn't believe us but said, "Oh cool I guess."

I just replied with a yea and a nervous smile.

I suddenly heard a tweet from his phone; he looked at it and smiled.

"I will text you later Claire and Heather, you suck."

That sentence made me feel special for no damn reason. I smiled at him while Heather glared at him.

After he left, I looked at Heather with full curiosity, how did she know not to tell him?

"Heather, why didn't you say the truth?"

She giggles, "Clark told me your whole "friendship" plan."

Well I'm not surprised; Clark told everyone he trusts to follow the plan.

Heather got up and wipe off the imaginary dust off her skirt, "I have to go Claire, text me later."

I nodded and followed her outside, watching her leave with her car. I then turned around to head home but after a while of walking, someone just grabbed and pulled into an ally.

As a response, I kicked the person and was about to grab my gun but, I saw that it wasn't not there. I always have it with me.

"Looking for this?" I heard as I turned around, seeing that Marco was the one who had stolen my gun and kidnapped me.

I crossed my arms, "What do you want?"

"Why were you with Ace?"

I look at him with disbelief, who does he think he is?

I rolled my eyes and put my hand out, "Just give me my gun and leave me alone Marco."

"No."

I groan, well I am not going to get my gun back today. "Fine, I am leaving."

I was going to walk away but Marco harshly grabbed my arm and pushed me against the brick wall. Shit, that scraped my back badly.

I struggled against his hold, "Let me go Marco! You have no right to do this!"

He continued pinning me against the wall, putting more strength in his grip. This is going to cause me have a huge bruise on my arm.

I tried all I could of getting his arm off me but it seemed like it didn't work. Marco started to lean towards me, and before I knew it, he kissed me.

I felt tears come out my eyes, I am disgusted.

He yelped and pulled my hair hard, "Do you know even know what respect is?"

I kept my mouth shut with tears pouring down my face; I want Clark right now next to me, protecting me from this creep.

"I will hurt you one day Claire and you will feel all the pain that you had given me."

He pushed me inside his car and drove me home slightly with me crying and him just staring at the front.

Once we reached home, I ran inside and locked all my doors, trying to get away from him. I never thought he could be this messed up.

I went to my bathroom and brushed my mouth up to the point that I couldn't feel my tongue.

After that little moment, I laid on my bad and rubbed my face. His face keeps popping up in my mind, the way he touched me with his slimy hand. I screamed into my pillow out of anger, Claire! You got to stay calm!

I took a deep breathe and lean back onto my pillow, trying to get rid of his face out of my mind.

While doing so, I heard a tweet on my phone. I instantly checked it and saw that Ace texted me.

I felt guilty of not responding to him but right now I need to keep my mind in peace.

I turned on a movie to watch, Mall Cop, yes!

I continued watching it until I fell asleep into a deep slumber.
