The Days of August

Chapter 10

    "Why?" Ian said with a raspy tone.
     Claire had became frozen, petrified, nervous of what awaits her.
    Ian walked up closer to her, "Claire how could you!" His voice became louder.
    Claire couldn't talk or do anything.
    Tears where rolling down both Claire's and Ian's faces.
     Ian wanted answers, Claire felt like she couldn't give them.
    Ian wiped his tears, "What the **** Claire?"
Ian threw the flowers down, "Why won't you answer me?"
He continued to read his thoughts out loud, "I loved you, more than anything, and this is what you do?"
Ian was pacing, trying to find out what to do.
Claire finally had the courage speak, "Ian, I'm sorry."
Ian look up at her, "Are you for real, Claire, I will never for give you."
Claire was now sobbing.
Ian looked like a wreck, "You know why I was at your house?"
Claire continued to stare blankly at Ian.
He huffed, " I was going to propose to you." He ran his finger through his hair, "I wanted you for the rest of my life, why was I so stupid?"
Ian walked away, got into his car, then drove away.
Claire had thrown up, bawled her eyes out, and screamed.
       August must have heard her scream because he came running back to her.
      August was shocked to see Claire like this, "Claire what happened?"
    "Get your *** off of my family's property." Claire said as she was fighting not to throw up again.
      August left, not saying another word.
     
       Claire was still breathing heavily when Miley brung her inside one hour later. She still didn't want to speak with Miley so she ran up to her room.
     Callie heard Claire crying and knocked on the door, "May I come in?" Claire didn't respond, but Callie came in anyway.
      Claire looked miserable, her eyes where bloodshot red, her hair was a mess and her makeup was all smeared.
      Callie was shocked by seeing Claire like this, she rushed over to her, "What happened?"
      "Callie have you ever been in love with two people at the same time?"
       Callie thought for a moment then answered with a smile, "Does Harry Styles and Justin Beiber count?"
       "No for real."
       "No."
       Claire sighed, not sure what to do, "Ian and I are over." It took Claire so much strength to say those words out loud.
      Callie gasped, "Why?"
      A tear fell down off of Claire's cheek," I cheated on him."
      Callie couldn't believe what she was hearing, "You?"
      "Yes."
       "With who?"
       "August."
       "Wow, so are you and August a thing now?"
       "I don't know." 
         Claire started to cry again, "He was going to propose to me tonight, and I blew it."
         Callie didn't know what to say.
         Claire got up off of her bed, "I'm going to take a shower." 
      "Okay."
      Claire turned the water up until it was boiling hot. Strangely it felt amazing on her skin. She wanted to hide and never come back, her life could never just be happy.
      She missed her Grammy, who has been setting at her house all alone. Her father used to go and pick her up so she could eat dinner with them, he don't do that anymore.
       She got out of the shower and did her night routine, she had major bags under her eyes from crying.
       She set her alarm for 4:00 in the morning, she had an adventure planned for tomorrow.
