Dare To Spin..

Chapter 11

Clay’s POV

“You’re dating my god damn sister! What the actual fuck? I thought we made an agreement before that we wouldn’t date the other ones siblings!” I couldn’t stop my voice from rising, this is my sister we are talking about! My twin sister at that. So what if I’ve known Ian all my life I’m allowed to be over protective sometimes.

“Oh and it’s not like you haven’t had the thought of my sister in your head. Weather it was sleeping with her of actually wanting to be with her, we both know you’ve thought it.”

“Well Q and I have always been close! I can’t help that. You used to pick on Chrissie.”

“You know what they say C-Man that’s what happens when you’re younger. You’re mean to get their attention. Although I know that all this anger isn’t really towards me and Chrissie… What’s actually bothering you C-Man?” Ian’s eyes softened. It was weird how he could see right through me. Usually guys don’t talk about this sort of thing together. They’ll look at you and call you gay if they think you’re soft. Ian and I had a different relationship. We turned all mushy around each other not going to lie. Besides Q, Ian is the only person that has ever saw me cry.

“I don’t know…” I honestly didn’t. Besides the fact that it’s been heart against mind since I have gotten closer with Q again. My mind says that I need to stay the fuck away from her instead of dragging her into my shit but my heart says she’s still the girl that my childhood self adored. I can’t tell Ian this though without telling him all about me. The only person that actually knew was Declan and that’s just because he’s as bad as me. No one know the real me anymore. When Q first announced that she only ever slept with a Declan I quickly turned down the idea that it could be that Declan, but when he walked into my house I saw him instantly. They way that him and Q connected right away tore me apart. I couldn’t help but be frustrated and angry what else was I supposed to do?

“Hello earth to Clay. You hear anything I just said?” I glanced at Ian with startled eyes and shook my head. I didn’t even notice he was talking to me. “I said that I’m not stupid and that you should tell me what the hell is up with you before I figure it out myself. I’ll get Quinny involved too if I have to.”

Pure anger took over me at the thought of Ian dragging Q into this mess. It was hard enough for me to not drag her in, and now with Declan here it made everything ten times worse. I didn’t want Ian trying to figure me out too.

“It’s nothing Ian.” I managed to get out through clenched teeth. “I just want you to back away from Chrissie.” I turned and walked to the back porch and into the trails that were behind my house.

Quinn’s POV

I looked out the window in the middle of Chrissie’s speech about how her and Ian started to actually see each other to see Clay walking into the trails behind his house. Not once in the lifetime I have known Clay did I ever see him go for a walk on the trails volunteeringly. I took that as a sign that things between Ian and him didn’t go as smoothly as things with Chrissie and I.

“-So then he finally asked me out even though we have been like secretly seeing each other for a year.”

“Look Chrissie I’m sorry but I need to go. Go downstairs and talk to Ian I’ll be back.” The look Chrissie gave me I knew that she noticed I didn’t listen to a word she was telling me about her and Ian. I honestly didn’t care but I knew that Clay would. That’s why I took Chrissie away before Clay blew up but we were barely up the stairs before he started yelling at Ian. I was just thankful that Clay’s room was nearly soundproof. As I made my way down the stairs I was stopped by Ian.

“I need to talk to you sis.”

“What is it? I want to go find Clay.”

“That’s what I need to talk to you about.” I looked at Ian to see that the concern was clearly there in his eyes.

“What about Clay?”

“Something is going on with him. We need to figure it out.” I gave Ian a blank stare. Seriously how cliché does my life sound even before Ian’s crazy exclamation. I have my best friend in town to stay and unexplained feelings towards him and my ex in town looking for my help while I have unexplained feelings for him too. My life just took a downhill spiral into a damn book for gods sake.

“Ian I don’t need your crazy accusations right now. I just need to find Clay and make sure that you didn’t affect him to much for dating his sister, which by the way I’m okay with in case you’ve been wondering for the last year.” I turned to walk away, almost out the door before Ian called out one last time to me.

“I’m being serious Quinn. I’m going to make sure I tell you I told you so when I figure it out too.” Rolling my eyes I grabbed Clay’s sweater that was hanging by the door and shrugging it on before running outside in the direction he went in. I was going to have a hell of a time trying to find him now, it’s already been at least five minutes and Clay doesn’t walk, he runs. Why am I going after him anyway. He’ll be back. But for some reason I have this gut feeling that I need to.

I walked for over 30 minutes before I finally found him. What I saw though I wasn’t prepared for though. He sat there cross legged with his head in his hands. He looked broken and I thought that maybe Ian was right. I sat down next to him, close but not touching. I didn’t know what to say so instead I sat. Sometimes we just need comfort so I knew that I could at least give him that.

“You know it’s pretty chilly at night now. You’re going to get cold if you stay out here much longer, especially with the walk back.” After hearing my voice Clay looked up from his hands. When I finally got a look at him his eyes were dry but completely blank, emotionless. His knuckles were busted and bleeding and his breather was oddly steady. Something in his expression scared me the slightest bit but the fact that this was Clay brought down my fright. We continued to stare at each other for I don’t even know how long before my phone when off.

Text Message (Brother Bear)

U & cman better hurry your asses

up rents just got here.

“You didn’t need to follow me. I’m a big boy I can take care of myself.”

“No need to thank me big boy. Although we need to get back to the house, you can explain to me what the hell is wrong on the way back.” I stood up and reached a hand down to help Clay. When his hand gripped mine I brushed my thumb across his busted knuckles. “We’ll have to clean those when we get back to the house.”

Clay’s POV

I wasn’t expecting Quinn to follow me out into the trails. If I was I wouldn’t have let myself break down. How was I supposed to talk myself of having feelings for her when she did things like this? She just sat there knowing I just needed someone. I needed to though. I couldn’t let her see what happened those three years she was gone. I’m surprised Chrissie never said anything to her honestly. I was never home, skipped school every day, the only time I would go was when the little nerd girl that was in every class of mine texted me that she finished my final projects and I needed to pick them up and hand them in. I was gone for a whole two months right before I came here too. No one knew what happened. No one needs to know. I’m just glad I managed to come here before someone I loved got hurt. Now all I need to do is make sure they don’t find me here or everything that I know will be gone. I don’t know what I would do if that ever happened. I don’t even know what I’m doing now. All I know is that being with Quinn is bad for both of us. Something bad will happen. I know it.

Picture of how Clay looked when Quinn found him! He's so broken inside and no one knows why! :( Thanks so much for reading :*
