I was so glad to see the back of Claris.

I mean, I didn't really like her.

She was Claire's best friend until she started hanging out with other crazy people, and became a kind of mood-swinger.

She was temperamental, I guess.

Claire glanced at me before flopping on my bed.

"I should go," she said, glancing at her watch.

"Don't," I pleaded. "I need to have someone else other than Justin to look at."

She smiled.

"What about Jayden?" she asked, hugging herself.

I sat next to her.

"What about him?" I asked, possessive side coming out.

She wasn't involved with Jayden. Why should she ask?

"You can look at him," she said, smiling at my horrified expression.

"Claire, you know what I mean. I need a girl here by my side. None other than you." I replied.

She sighed.

"Stay?" I asked.

"Five minutes, Jave. That's all I have." she sighed and fell into my open arms.

Thank you, Claire.

I rocked myself back and forth. I felt sorry for Yvonne. She and Jus had been on and off for so long...

She really deserved someone better.

Footsteps padded to my door.

"Javier? It's Jus," he said, opening the door.

Claire glanced up lazily and narrowed her eyes into slits.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

"I... never mind. Jave, can you help me win Yvonne back? I know I've been real unfaithful..." he got cut off.

"Unfaithful is an understatement. And no, Yvonne deserves more than you." Claire interjected.

"Not like you've been so loyal to Javier," he retorted.

Claire went pale.

"No, don't, please don't tell him... Justin, I beg you not!" Claire said desperately.

"Your girl cheated on you. She came to me-" Jus got cut again.

"No! You will not tell," Claire ordered.

"demanding for some action, and she was with you and-" I paled.

"Stop," I said icily.

My arms felt cold from holding Claire.

"Did... did you..." my voice fell.

Claire shook her head frantically.

"N-no!" she protested.

I had heard enough.
