Clara's POV

"Well Jason I'm really sorry, I'll be straight. I never had any feelings for you. You know nothing about me or my past. Why you never listen to me? You decide everything on your own. I have told you not to have feelings for me. But you were so fast. I...I...I just can't bear this..!!" I told him, stepping back.

"Clara wait...lemme explain!" Jason tried stopping me but I was so over surprised that I could not stand there anymore and I jumped into the car and speeded up.

I never wanted our friendship to end. It was because of him I wanted the promotion so that we can work together. But now, we are over. Why I denied him? I should have said yes. Afterall there's no one closer and more caring to me than him and I know Noah and I can never be together.

I reached home and it might be like 01:30am or something I really don't care.

I sat on the couch, I was so regretful that I can't stop thinking. My brain could have exploded. I saw my phone vibrated in my bag, I searched for it.
I saw around 7 miss calls from Noah and a text.

It went like-
"I can help it now! I'll be downstairs right at 7 in the morning and you can leave for your office right from my house. If you remember the deal, you will have to stay for a month or two. Be ready."

I sighed on the couch.
"Hush! A day can never be longer."
After that I went to pack my luggage.

Next morning

"Jesus save me. I'm like going to a monster's world. And unfortunately I can't even scream, I have to behave normal. Noah and we are... like back together hahaha never!" I Chuckled. It's around 5:30 in the morning. I'm so damn nervous that I thrice put sugar in my coffee and I can't help to make another cup for me because I'm already late.

I finished my coffee finally and went to take a bath.

The door bell rang.

"Oh damn I'm still in the bathroom hope it's not Noah." I murmured to myself.

"Who's it?"

There wasn't any reply but door bell rang again.

I know it's Noah, he loved to irritate me sometimes.

"Noah I'm still in the bathroom, wait! I won't make it late. Till than, you can enter, take the keys from the potted rose kept left to the door."

"Fine!" he finally replied.

He entered and after 5 min. I finished my bath. I wrap a towel around myself.

I'm so confused. What should I wear?

Should I wear dressy because I'm going to meet them after such a long time?

Or

Should I wear casuals, they are like family. No?

I must take professionals along since I'll leave at 9:30 for office.

I finally decided to wear a little casual.

"Am ready!" I said.

"Umm..very well." He replied and we left for his house.

He brought his Aventador Roadster.

"Clara I know you know that Ivy loves you a lot

"Clara I know you know that Ivy loves you a lot. Just the way she loves me. I don't want you to disappoint her." He said breaking the silence during the drive.

What do he meant to say?

"I'm sorry Noah, but I don't think you remember that I'm her friend even before I know you!"

"I don't know, I just can't see Ivy in pain anymore."

It hurts. If he can't see his sister in pain, that means he still have a heart that functions and if it does, why can't he see my pain. Or is it like, his heart has stopped working for me?

"I won't..."

"Wait! Quite!" He cut me off.

"what? Why???..." I asked.

"Sshh! Someone's following us."

"What? where?? How? Who's following??"

He looked at me amusingly,
" do you really think I know who is following us, I don't have x-rays in my eyes to peep into that black car. And stop asking multiple Questions at a time. You're still that weird Clara."

I folded my arms at this in anger. And glanced at the mirror. Someone's literally following us.

All of a sudden he turned the car towards right so freaking fast that I was forced towards his left arm.

That car followed us.

He drove into a narrow street. Some kids where playing on the street. Though it was difficult to pass through but Noah's a brilliant car racer. He then took the car to a really strange place. I don't know where.

He stopped the car and exited, turned around to check if that car is still following.

" I think they're no more doing their following business. Bloody suckers!"

"Umm... Noah can you tell me where we are? I really don't have any idea."

"I would love to tell you if I knew this place myself."

"Wait....what do you mean, are we lost?"

"Yeah you can say that untill my phone catches up the signal."

He tried to catch the signal from his phone for few minutes.

"Oh damn! I think I was destined to be the dinner for any wild animal. Now I know why life wasn't going fair. I was to be promoted today. I thought this day would be better. I was better with my hellish boss. No wait! I was not. But even if I was not, atleast I was not lost...."

"Relax. Clara. You're not going to die." Saying this he burst out into laughter sitting on his car's front.

"Didn't anyone ever told you that you can create a record in continuous speaking challenge? " He said, still laughing.

"I wasn't joking! I'll find the way out on my own. And you'll be left here for their dinner. Just watch." I left him searching for the way. He laughed even louder.

"I'll show you!" I shouted back.
