Please save me

part 7 (Confession)

(At the tree after school,still Friday)

Seth's Pov:

What does she want from me?

I thought leaning against the tree as I saw her walking towards me.

"What do you want from me" I said annoyingly because I wanted to go home.

"I want to tell you something" she now stood infront of me.

I took a step back

"Tell me"

"I- want you to go out with me. I love you." She was nervous.

"I'm sorry. I love Claire" I didn't dare to look at her.

"I know"

"Then why did you confess?"

"I don't know. I just kinda want to end it or something like that" She smiled at me sadly.

Claire's Pov:

I stayed at school hoping I would get an answer soon. I looked out of a window as I saw Jena walking towards me crying.

Even though I hate her I still talked to her.

"What's wrong?"

"I won't bother you anymore. Im sorry"

"Are you alright?"

"Is this what you felt when I broke up with you?" Another tear ran down her face.

"Yeah. I think so." I looked at her

"I'm sorry I hurt you" she apologized

"Why are you saying sorry now after all this time?"

"I was in the wrong. I shouldn't have done that to you"

"You know I won't be friends with you just because you apologized?"

"I know. I just wanted to say it"

"No friends and no enemys?"

"Alright" she smiled

"You'll find someone better." I tried to encourage her

"Event tough I was so mean to you you're so nice to me... why?"

"I guess I'm still not completely over it. I always kinda hoped you would realize your feelings for me"

"I'm sorry"

"I know. I don't expect anything anymore" I smiled a her

"Your so strong"

"You too"

"No. I'm weak. If I were strong I wouldn't have used you like that just to be accepted"

"I still think you're strong. I have to go home now or my parents will get angry" I genuinely smiled at Jena and walked away

"Bye" she yelled back smiling kindly

Jena's Pov:

She is so kind even though I was a dick towards her... I really loved her but for my parents homosexuality is a sin. I can't go against them.

I want to be friends with her again like we were before she confessed to me. So many things went wrong in her life.

I know she's being abused by her parents but Claire doesn't want me to call the police because they are the only place she can return to.

I should get going too before I see Seth again. I couldn't stand him seeing me like this. I'm a wreck. My makeup around my brown eyes is messed up because of crying and my long, brown hair looks like I was in a storm.

I quickly went to a bathroom to fix myself up and went home after that.

My parents will always love me if they don't find out I'm bi.

Claire's Pov:

I ran home expecting them to be waiting for me ready to hit me but they weren't there.

As soon as I reached the kitchen I found a piece of paper which my father had written on:

We're going to be on a business trip. We'll be back next week on Saturday. We left you 100 €.

At least they won't beat me for bit over a week and they left me too much money. I can buy some new clothes.

I decided I would go buy some food today and clothes tomorrow. I set my bag down and grabbed the money walking out of the front door.

I bought some water, bread and apples. This should get my through until Wednesday. So I can buy clothes for about 70 €

I went home and slept for about 4 hours. I woke up at 2am not being able to sleep anymore.

What should I do now? I've got 8 hours until the mall opens... I don't really want to go alone. That would be the first time...

I always went with my sister. We had so much fun.. Now I don't have anyone..  I think I'll change my hair colour. Maybe Jena will go with me? Why would she? But asking won't hurt. But she will be bored because she doesn't like the clothes I like.

Whatever. I'll text her. What can she do more than say yes?

I'm going to the mall today. Want to come with me?

I texted her.

What time? Where?

She immediately texted back. She's awake at this time? It's still only 2:23. Is she still awake because she is sad about Seth?

I don't know. At least I have someone to go with me.  I think it will be good.

11 am at my house?

I quickly typed

Okay.  See you then.

She texted and I fell asleep happy.
