All Alone

Chapter 1:- Alone

Claire's POV

I cried. I cried because that was all I can do. How can they do this to me? Didn't they say they would stay by my side forever? Was it just a lie? Or maybe I am just to desperate for answers which can never be answered.

It has been two days since the funeral of my parents. I still can't stop crying. I loved them the most in this whole world and the worst part I had no one besides them. Why did this happen to me? Oh god just why?

I start packing my stuff. If I stay here any longer I would become a emotional wreck. Every corner of this place reminds me of them. My parents being rich would offer me everything I wanted. They pampered me a lot since I was their only child. But I always knew that there was a world a far from this mansion.

I would practically sneak out from the house to go around the city. I got my self a job at a cafe which gave me enough money even though I didn't really wanted money I just wanted some freedom. But I never knew this freedom can take away the most important people of my life...my parents.

Four days ago my parents found out that I was working in the cafe. I never knew how they founded it though. But when they were on the way to get me their car crashed with a truck leading to the most horrible car accident. I blame my self for that.And look I am alone now with nothing but depression which would kill me if I stayed here a bit longer.

I grabbed my stuff and headed out the mansion in my car. I took a one last look at the mansion as tears start to flow I wipe them and slowly start driving. I didn't knew where I was going but it didn't matter as long as I was going....somewhere.

I started to slower the pace of my car but then I stopped it and looked at the apartment building in front of me. It was not old nor new but it looked classic though. There was a huge sign in yellow and big black letters saying 'FOR RENT'

My face lighten up. I found my self a place to stay. I park my car in the parking space and head out looking for the owner of this apartment. I enter and look around until I here someone call me.

"Yes may I help you?" ask a voice of a lady. I quickly turn around only to see a lady with blonde hair wearing a black dress smiling at me widely. She looked like she was in her late thirties.
"Yes I saw that the apartment is on rent? " I ask in a polite voice.

Her smile grew wider and her face lighten up on hearing that. "Yes dear you are in the right place! But I certainly don't accept people below eighteen so what's your name?" she ask "I am Claire Wilson and I am twenty-two" I say "Okay I am Cynthia White but you can call me Mrs. White Come I will show the apartment. "

She said and started walking while I follow behind her "Well you are lucky you know all the houses are on rent just one left. " she looks at me and smiles. We come to an halt in front of a door. She removes some keys and opens the door signaling me to walk in.

I walk in and start looking around.The apartment was dusty but was still looked comfortable for a person to stay. "Do you like it?" ask Mrs White. I just nod looking around more. "So if you are willing to rent it there are some documents I need." she asks smiling. I turn to her smiling
"I am willing" I say

After some paper work Mrs White said I can move in. I was glad about it because I didn't wanted to sleep in the car that would be pretty uncomfortable. I start unpacking my stuff which is really not my things but I have to force myself to do it.

I check on the water supply before taking a bath. After that I change into some comfortable clothes and lie on the bed looking at the ceiling.

Sigh.

Life is just so wired. Here I am living all alone in a apartment house on rent which I thought would never happen in my life. I still can't get over my parents. What would my life be if I never sneaked out and worked in a cafe? It would be the same waking in morning and roaming around the mansion, reading books, watering the plants, helping in the kitchen to make food. Just so normal.

But at least...i would have my parents there with me. I didn't knew I had unknowingly started crying until I felt it. I sigh wiping my tears.

They won't come back Claire crying won't help I have to stay strong. I curled up into a ball in the bed and my eyes started to get heavy as I drifted to sleep.
