claudia's pov
my eyes slightly twitched as i slowly peeled them open. i groaned once my eyes focused on the sunlight directly in front of me. my head ached and my stomach churned. wow i felt like complete shit.
i turned in the bed to the other side, closing my eyes slowly. wait. where am i? my eyes shot open as i glanced around, realizing i was in justin's bed. uh? i quickly checked under the covers. my clothes were still on.
"you're up." i heard justin call out from the bathroom as he walked in the room.
"yeah." i croaked.
"w-what happened last night?" i burped.
"well." he came over and sat on the bed next to me.
i furrowed my eyebrows as my eyes focused on him.
"oh no...oh no we didn't have-" i started.
"no no." he quickly interrupted.
"you just uh-drank a lot and got a little crazy and made out with a guy or guys i don't really know...and-"
"fuck that wasn't a dream?" i gasped. "agh my head." i hissed.
"yeah that was real." he chuckled.
"oh my god the dancing on the table! that was real too. oh my god." i covered my face in embarrassment."
"yeah i heard about that..." justin awkwardly spoke.
"anyways when you're ready there's a pair of clothes in the bathroom and ill be downstairs making waffles." he smiled as he ran his hair through his hair.
"thank you justin you didn't have to-"
"its all good." he chuckled. "so uh do you mind if i talk to you about something?" he asked as he moved closer towards me.
i furrowed my eyebrows and nodded slightly, confused of what there is to talk about.
"so last night, maddie told me-"
i instantly remembered why i drank so much. shot after shot. crying, lots of crying.
"oh god no no it's fine justin forget about it it's not a big deal-"
"not a big deal? claudia i care about you. i'm sorry i hurt you like that i didn't know-"
"it's okay justin really i'm completely fine can we just forget about it, please?" i sighed.
"i'm sorry claudia i can't." he grabbed my hand. "because i feel the same way."
i widened my eyes in shock as i stared into his wide caramel eyes. my heart skipped a beat as he rubbed his thumb in circular motions on my palm, making my hands feel unsteady.
"y-you do?" i squeaked.
he nodded slowly.
"i always have." he breathed.

Romance"you've hurt me enough!" claudia shouted as her eyes began to water. "i know and i'm sorry." justin whispered as he caressed her cheek gently. "but maybe what hurt you can be the one to fix you."
