Broken Mirrors

Chapter Twenty

New Year's eve

Clair P.O.V

It was New year's eve and I didn't hear from Dinah. She didn't show up on Christmas day, didn't answer any of my calls and sometimes I worry that she might go off the rails and kill herself somewhere but that was just me, being dramatic as usual. As for Sinn he checked in on me all the time. I really missed him, I wanted to spend Christmas with him but he promised He would make it up to me and I trusted him.

I was glad Jessica was here with me she seemed happy and ready to go to the New year's Eve Mask ball with me.

Jessica: "So which one? this one showing her the black gown or this one." showing her the purple one

Clair: "The black one it looks beautiful."

Jessica: "I agree looks at Clair in suspicion where are you going?"

Clair: "James called me, I have to meet him it's urgent he said."

Jessica: "New mysterious guys huh?"

Clair: "That is married to a psychopath"

Jessica: "Come on she can't be that bad."

I give her the look before picking up my bag

Clair: "You should meet the bitch, you just have to meet her once"

Jessica: laughs "I'll see you at 8?"

Clair: "Yes, 8:00 sharp."

Jessica: "I got you" smiles

I got to the mansion around 2:00pm. Things seemed quiet as I entered, The butler took my coat and told me that James was waiting on me. I nodded before making my way to the office.

James: "Hey."

Clair: "Hi, what's up?"

James: "I found your sister."

Clair: "Thank you!" hugs him

James: "Don't mention it. She has been at an apartment for the past couple of weeks."

Clair: "In Manhattan?"

James: "Yes."

Clair: "I feel so bad" sitting down with her face in her palms

James: "I guess she just needed some space after you know..."

Clair: "I know but I should have told her." looks at James "The thing is I knew Vincent was cheating and I didn't tell her." sighs "I'm a bad sister."

James kneel in front of me and caressed my cheek. I looked at him and he ran his hands through my hair.

James: "You couldn't choose between your sister and your best friend. They are important to you and it wasn't your place to tell them anything." sighs "Clair you're perfect and she will understand"

I looked at him and looked away feeling awkward in the position we were. He stood up and I did the same. I give him a hug just to tell him thank you and left.

When I met the apartment she was in, I looked for her room number and knocked on the door. No one answered when I knocked the first time. At the corner of my eyes I spotted someone coming down the lobby. It was Dinah she was in big shades and she had groceries in her hands.

Clair: "Dinah!"

Dinah: "What are you doing here?"

Clair: "I came to see you of course! I miss you"
