Song- Deja Vu by Beyonce ft. Jay Z

Clara.

God, I've had a good night's rest after so long.

I opened my eyes, glancing at the clock next to me. It read 6:42 p.m., meaning that I am not dreaming and at home.

Or am I?

I opened my eyes and took a look around. It was indeed my room, with its lavender walls and the teddy bears on the shelf along with a good amount of books. My laptop and cellphone rested carefully on the computer table. I was snuggled in my lavender sheets.

I love lavender.

Yet my mind drifted back to Aiden's room. Such a contrast it was, with its blood red walls and matching sheets. Everything in there looked so grim, yet I liked it there.

Are you hearing yourself Clara?

I groaned and got out of my bed, shaking off all thoughts of Aiden.

Does he miss me?

Why do I care?

I yawned and got out of my bed, stretching in content and exercising a bit before heading to the bathroom.

After taking a bath and doing everything else, I stepped back into the bedroom to select something to wear. It was Wednesday and I wanted to make a comeback at the club.

I selected a green blouse and black skinny jeans with green sneakers.

Comeback my ass.

I then braided my hair and applied a little make up. I took a quick glance at the calendar.

Wow, I was held captive for a long time.

Wait, today is Wednesday?

Had I been his captive today, I would've been attending some stupid party and being introduced as his wife to be. That would've been some messed up shit.

But imagine what it would've been like, being forced to accept someone as your husband just cause they kidnapped you.

On the bright side, you'd have some cute mixed babies with green eyes.

I face palmed. What on earth has my mind drifted to? He's not even my type.

I shook my head. Clara, calm your nerves, you're home and you're safe.

Grabbing my purse, I headed downstairs.

Aaron and Melissa were sitting all cozy in the couch. He whispered something in her ears and she started giggling.

"Ahem." I said clearing my throat.

They turned to face me. Melissa did a one over on my outfit.

"Where you going looking fine as hell on a Wednesday night?" she asked.

"To the club."

"Are you sure you want to be going out? I mean you just got home safe and sound." stated Aaron, looking concerned.

"Boy I'm..."

"Grown. I get it. But being grown doesn't mean you have to be reckless with yourself. I mean just the other day you were kidnapped, in my yard. Imagine what will happen if you go out alone on the streets."

"You don't think I'm freaked out? Tonight my marriage to that guy would've been announced, with or without your presence. I need to prove to myself that I can handle myself."

Melissa squeezed his shoulder. "She got a point babe I mean..."

He got up. "Don't tell me that! She got a point? That ain't what you were saying when she went missing. You could barely speak, barely sleep! I was worse!"

I stood there stunned. Why was Aaron acting like that?

He turned towards me. "But you don't care do you Clara? Go ahead then, be careless with yourself. But if you do get kidnapped and you wind up getting married to that psychotic nigga, don't send me any wedding invite!"

I stepped back, shocked, confused and hurt by his words. Aaron was the only thing close to family I had. If I lost him then...

Why do you always have to step back?

Why should I step back?

I took a step forward. "You don't get to control me and I refuse to let any situation control me!"

Melissa got up. "Clara, try and understand..."

"No! You two try and understand! I just want one day to myself! I'm tired of being scared to step out of this house! If I stay in this house any longer I'll go insane!"

"Then go, cause if you whine in my ears any longer I'll go insane!" yelled Aaron.

"Aaron!" yelled Melissa.

"Fine I'll go then. I'll be back a bit late." I say, turning towards the door.

"How about you do us a favour and don't?!"

"Aaron!"

"No! Let him say it!"

"Clara, he didn't..." stated Mel.

"No! He meant every fuckin' word! You want that favour dear brother?! Shit, all you had to do was ask! I'll be back in the morning to get my things!"

With that I stomped out of the house.

**************

Just as I was about to hail a cab, I ran into a man.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so..." I stopped my words when I saw that it was Aiden.

"Miss me love?" he asked.

"How did you..."

"Find you? Baby, I'm not dumb. Hell, I knew you was gonna drug me."

I took a step back. I was shocked and scared.

How?

"Good question. I was thinking of sending you back to your family. I got a feeling that you were homesick."

"Homesick?! You kidnapped me!"

He chuckled. "Kidnap is such a strong word, even in that tense. I like to think of it as a lesson."

"You make me sick!"

"That's why I let you drug me, so you could get some fresh air."

Before I could fire an insult at him, I felt something press against my mouth and nose, causing me to lose consciousness slowly.

"I...hate...you..." I said.

"Now Clarisse, let's leave the hate for marriage." he said, before I became unconscious.

Aaron was right.
*************

Uh oh...

Trouble in Clara's paradise.

She done fucked up this time!

Who do you support in this sibling disagreement?

#TeamClara or #TeamAaron ?

Or are you #TeamMelissa who just wants to resolve things between the two.
