Stranger Things

Fired

Owen's POV
I am working with my Father, somewhere in California. I've been working here for 10 years straight... I never saw Claire after that. I wanted to be with her, but I guess we weren't destined to be. My Father runs a company of Furnitures, and I was the heir of the throne. We create furnitures and send them all over the world...

"Owen!" My friend Barry, called me from behind. I turned to look at him.

"Barry!"

"Let's go at Philip's place!"

I quickly nodded, leaving my work unfinished.

When we arrived at Philip's...

"Owen!! Barry!!" Philip threw his hand in the air to welcome us.

"Hah! Cheers!!" Joshua said.

I grabbed a beer and danced with the girls on the dancefloor. But then, there I saw a redhead wearing a white dress walking towards the counter. I quickly followed the girl and sat next to her sit.

"Uh... Two shots of tequilas, please! One for me, and one for the Lady."
I gazed at her and she looks exactly like... Claire?

"uhm... I don't drink alcohols, I'm sorry." she murmured.

"Claire?" I raised an eyebrow.

She looked at me confusingly.
"Pardon?"

I stared at her, Am I dreaming? I can feel my face getting red. I can't believe it's her!!

"Claire, it's me. Owen, Remember?"
I can feel tears flowing in my cheeks.

"Oh... Mister. I'm sorry, have we met?"

Her words broke me into a million pieces, I can't help but sob infront of her.

"Bryce!" a man called out and it's Seth.

"Owen, what are you doing?" Seth stood beside the woman, who looks like Claire.

I quickly wiped the tears from my eyes.

"I'm Bryce. Seth's wife." she explained.

I feel so dumb, I don't know if this is an illusion but I swear I saw Claire deep inside her.
"Oh... I'm sorry, it's just... You look so similar to my ex-girlfriend."

"It's alright. Where is she now?"

"I don't know."

"Oh, you poor man. Don't worry, you'll find her." she smiled and walked away with Seth...

I feel so over, so I decided to go home in this late hour... Expecting myself to feel welcomed by my dad, instead I recieved a complain because I didn't finish my work.

"Owen! Enough of this nonsense, you're fired!"

"What? You can't fire me, I'm your son!"

"I just did. I'm sending you to Vegas to your mom."

Great, I've been away from Claire and now I'll be sent MUCH more further. I grabbed my clothes and my stuffs and of course I won't forget this Frame.

'Claire was smiling at the camera happily while I look like a drunk person.' This memory of our first date.

My dad drove me in the airport and I walked in without looking at him.
