Claudia's POV
He's here. Why of all people he has to be the new cover for this magazine? I shouldn't be seeing him. I shouldn't be meeting him. I ran away. I left everyone. I left them all. This is not happening. This is not happening. Okay.. i need to calm down. I need to breathe.
"Miss Claudia? Are you okay?" I heard Lucy's voice behind me. I opened my eyes from meditating and saw her with her bag on her shoulder from the mirror. I nodded my head and smiled a bit.
"Im okay. Just got headache. Are you going now?" I asked her while fixing my bag. I took my Camera and checked if the pictures are still there. Luckily its all still there. I need to edit this later.
"Yeah Miss Claudia. Do you need a ride?" she asked taking her Jacket that's been hanging on the rack. I turned around to face her and shook my head.
"No but thanks for the offer. Maybe next time. I still need to go to the grocery store." i said checking the time on my wrist watch. It's still early for me to go. I looked at Lucy again and she got her keys from her bag.
"Well then, i guess I'm going now. See you tomorrow Miss." she said and walked away. I took a seat on the chair infront of the mirror and looked at my reflection.
Throughout the whole 5 years, i changed my appearance. My hair, my clothing style, my make up. The old Claudia is gone. Its as if it's not me anymore. Its like, looking at a different person. My hair isn't the same color as the one i got back in LA. Its now gray with a hint of purple. I dont know what I'm doing with myself anymore.
"Hi." I fell on the floor when i heard someone talk behind me. I rubbed my back and looked at the person. It was Millie. What does she want?
"I'm sorry. Holy shit." she said helping me up. Once i was up i looked at her. She fiddled with her hands and looked up at me.
"Um, I'm just here to ask something. Please just.." she said with pleading eyes. I feel like something stupid is gonna happen once i agree with her.
"Okay, um.. I know you love Finn. And that you left for a reason. But now that you're back, everything will change.." Millie said looking at the floor. She wouldn't look at me for some reason.
"What are you trying to say? Just cut the crap and tell me." i said getting impatient. She looked at me with tears in her eyes. What is going on?!
"Please. If Finn talks to you or comes close to you, avoid him. Please just dont come near him. If you did, he will fall for you all over again. We've been together for 2 years now Claudia. 2 years. He's finally getting over you. Please Claudia. Just stay away from our lives." she said while the tears kept falling from her eyes. She kept her stare on me and i can see the love she got for Finn. This girl will do anything for the man she loves.
I cut our staring contest and sighed. I looked around the room and found the door opened. I can see his hair just outside this room. He's listening.
"You don't have to do that Millie. You just don't plead for someone. Don't worry. I wont take him from you. I know my boundaries and I don't ruin people's relationships. I'm not like that" i said still looking at the door, feeling empty. I feel numb. I guess this is how Finn felt when i left.
Millie smiled at what i said and embraced me in a hug. I can still hear her sobs through my shirt. Her now long hair hitting my face.
"Thank you." she said. I saw Finn leave when i returned Millie's gesture. She let go and left. I sat back on the chair and stared at myself on the mirror.
"What did you do Claudia? You ruined it for good." i told myself as tears started to pour down my cheeks. I wiped them off and stood up. I grabbed my bag and Camera and went out of the room. I need to forget everything. Maybe letting a car hit me would give me amnesia. And probably die.
Skip to the grocery store
I was on the Ice-cream aisle when i saw a familiar brunette hair across me. He looked familiar and i think i saw him somewhere.
Mitchell?
"Mitchell?" i said looking at the guy while i hold the shopping cart. He looked up and looked sideways before looking at me. His eyes went wide and a smile started to form on his face.
"Claudia? Oh god i haven't seen you in forever. How are you?" he said closing the ice cream refrigerator. We are still facing each other. Him on the other side and me across him. Now that i get a full view of him. He really do look like Cole Sprouse. Or maybe he's Dylan.
"I'm good. What about you? What are you doing here?" i asked smiling at him. He scratched the back of his neck while chuckling. He looked back at me and i swear i saw him blush.
"Well, I'm working with Adidas for a week and then after that I'm flying back to LA. What about you? Last time i checked, you were on vacation with some of your friends?" he said leaning on the refrigerator and squinting his eyes a bit.
"Oh those kids? They're my brother's friends. Not mine. I was dragged to go there because for some reason, underage teenagers can't go without an adult." i said looking at the racks of ice cream. I found the strawberry flavor and put them on my cart before looking back at Mitchell.
"yeah i guess that's probably the most dumbest reason we have in LA. So what are you doing here?" he asked as we both walked, the ice cream refrigerator separating us both.
"I'm working for a magazine company as the Head Chief of the photographers. The shoot was done early so i decided to drop by here." i said pushing the cart more. Right now, Mitchell and I stopped, facing each other. His basket is the only one separating us. He does look like Cole Sprouse to be honest.
"You look like someone. Wait.. Don't tell me you're Cole." i said glaring at him jokingly. He didn't say anything for a bit but he just looked at me while smiling.
"Oh my god.." I said pinching the bridge of my nose and looking back at him.
"You're Cole.. Why didn't you just tell me?" i said hitting him on his arm.
"First of all, Ow? And second of all, because its funny seeing your face look confused. And i enjoy your non fangirl moment." he said shrugging. As we both walk to the pasta aisle.
"Um I'm pretty sure I'm not a fangirl of yours and dude, I would rather fangirl over Kurt Cobain than your lying ass." i said rolling my eyes at him. He looked at me and faked hurt while holding his chest jokingly.
"But seriously, I like talking to you like this that's why i didn't tell you. And besides, i didn't really lie to you. I just used my middle name. Cole Mitchell Sprouse. Look it up on Google." He said grabbing the Farfalloni pasta. I took my phone and went to Google searching his name. Once i found one article, I saw his name and it really has a Mitchell on it.
"Oh my god, don't tell me you're on Google. I'm hurt you don't trust me." Cole said while i stuff my phone back on my pocket.
"Better safe than sorry, Cole." i said shrugging. I passed him, not looking at him but i saw him smile from my peripheral vision.
We both went to the Liquor aisle and scanned the whole thing. He took a wine and checked it. I saw a Vodka and looked at Cole.
"Want to go for a drink later?" i asked showing him the bottle. He shrugged his shoulders with and agreeing look so i put the bottle on my cart.
The whole time we were in the Store, all of my problems have disappeared, its because of Cole. I guess i needed to forget about him now. I have to.
