Our Promise

Confused Thoughts

Recap:

Not even five minutes into the stroll and I stopped. The reason for my sudden stop was not because I was tired or my feet hurt, no it was far worse. I stopped out of shock.

In front of me were two very familiar people kissing.

****

Usually when a person is in a state of complete shock, they usually start hyperventilating.

Darren and Sierra.

Yes you heard me right. My long term bully from high school who lived and breathed for torturing me and Dominic's supposed fiancé that also hates me. Well they sure have things in common I can give them that much but the shocking factor is that I would never expect it.

Why would Sierra cheat on Dominic? Who would want to cheat on such an amazing guy like him?

I know that I am being pretty judgmental but common, this is Darren Pierce I'm talking about.

Something all of a sudden clicks into my brain and I feel a wave of memories crashing into my skull as I think back to all the signs. Of course. This would explain the dirty looks I got from Sierra every time I spoke to Darren although in my defence, how was I supposed to know that it was because of talking to Darren? Sierra or should I say Voldie, is always giving me glares. Even if I don't speak to her or even look at her she still gives me nasty looks.

I finally break out of my mini shock session and stumble back a couple of steps. Luckily they have not noticed me because they were to occupied with each others mouths. Yuck. I still can't believe I actually witnessed that with my innocent eyes and have not thrown up. Yet.

I turn around blindly not knowing where I am running off to, I just knew that I would want to be anywhere but here.

Soon I found myself retracing my steps towards the bonfire where everyone stood around. They did not seem to notice me and to be quite honest, I was thankful for that. I really did not want to explain where I went but most importantly what I saw. The image of Sierra and Darren kissing is going to give me nightmares for weeks.

I was still pretty angry at Dominic for the argument that we had not that long ago. I don't understand why he had to go all protective mode on me. He not only embarrassed the guy that went all out trying to get my number but he also embarrassed me. How am I ever going to be in a relationship if Dominic keeps on cutting in and scaring the guys away.

My eyes searched the atmosphere around me as I breathed in the cold air. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and by everyone I meant Jessica. She was surrounded by at least three guys and two girls. Well someone seems to be popular and if I walked up towards her I think I would just ruin her fun.

I spun around from where I stood and decided to make my way back home. I took out my phone from the pocket of my pants and turned it on to see what the time was. I was pretty surprised that the time was 6:24 because it felt like 8:00.

Walking past the shelter gave me a rush of happiness and pride that I took part in creating the shelter. I smiled as I took one last glance at the creation that the whole team made.

"Clara!" I heard a voice call from behind me. I turned around and looked at the guy that I was angry at for the past hour yet felt a little sorry for him because of what I just encountered.

"Dominic. What are you doing here?" I walked up to him so now we were only a couple meters away from each other.

"I saw you walking here and decided to follow you. Trust me that sounded a lot less stalkerish in my head." He put his hands up and together we started to walk away from the shelter.
