I want you to know that I still
care, in the mildest of all my smiles
And laughter, there are still few
Moments out of the blue, when I feel
A pinch in my heart, literally, like some
Real pain in the chest, and then I get
Breathless for a while, realising that you
Are not with me there anymore.
- A lost lover
It has been a week since Clarie talked to Jace, barely glancing at him, avoiding him at all cost. She could not face him after the break down in front of him.
How could I just. I promised I would be strong.
But he is your strength.
Oh for love of God leave me!
I can't, the love of God sent me to you. Can't help it.
Why have you started talking to me anyway?
Because Jace is here and you need advice.
I don't. God am I going crazy?
No you were already crazy.
"I am really going out of my mind I need to talk to someone." Clarie muttered massaging her head. She put her pen down and took her phone from her bag.
There were seven wattpad notifications and 3 missed calls from Dylan and 1 from Sophie. She called Dylan and just after the second ring he picked it up.
"Hey Clar, are you ok. I called you thrice." Dylan asked anxiously.
"Ya it's just... Can we talk?" Clarie said while biting her nail. The bad habit for which her mother has scolded her a million times.
"What you mean by 'the talk' I swear to God you gave me creeps the last time you said that." Dylan said.
"No! Of course not, just wanna talk about stuff." Clarie said still biting her nails
"You are giving me creeps again by saying 'talk about stuff."
"Oh for god's sake! Dylan meet me."
"Ya sure. Um Freddy's ?"
"Yes it'll work. Besides I will kill for an ice cream."
"Looks like it." Dylan said laughing a little.
The phone went silent, before Clarie could reply. She huffed in frustration and kicked her ball which somehow slipped at Clarie hit the table. She grunted and cursed. Then she heard 'Click' and looked around and found Jace on his balcony clicking pictures of her.
"What the hell! Are you doing!?" Clarie screamed.
Jace shrugged and said " Clicking pictures."
"Of what me! Suffering an injury." Clarie said closing her fist she so badly wanted to hit that annoying smirk off his face and the distance was short. But she did not have the guts to just jump on his balcony and punch him.
"Ya it's funny. I'll watch the vid-" Jace said but shut his mouth instantly.
"What did you say! You made a video!" Clarie said furious.
"Um ya I did what are you going to do about it gummy bear? Cry!?" Jace said leaning on the railing.
"You creepy mother f***** stalker!!!" Clarie could not hold it and took out a pot and threw it at Jace. Jace ducked and looked at her his eyes wide.
"What the fuck Clarie are you going to kill me or what!" Jace said still shielding himself behind the door.
"That's the plan genius!" Clarie huffed and picked up a stone lying in one of the pots and threw it instead of hitting Jace it hit his water bottle which was unfortunately on his project and all went wet. His books and the project.
Jace rushed in to pick up but it was too late. His project was all gone. He had now lost his cool. He looked at her giving her a death glare. He was about to shout when he heard a car horn outside Clarie's house. They both looked at it for a while and as if Clarie snapped back realising.
Dylan! Thank the heavens.
Clarie rushed down the stairs and in process forgetting her jacket besides how could it could possibly get. It was early winter who cares. Clarie rushed to the passenger seat and smacked Dylan.
"Dylan move it! Are you waiting for my death!" Clarie said seeing Jace throwing daggers at her. Dylan turned on the engine but unfortunately it did not start and at the same time Jace rushed down the stairs.
"She will pay for this. For Christ sake I stayed up all night for that stupid project and in a matter of seconds she just erased it." Jace said opening the front door. Soon as he saw Dylan and Clarie in the passenger seat, he growled like literally growled.
