Claire and Claud

Chapter Six

Claire's POV

Claud and I have been sitting here for almost fifteen minutes and I was bored to death. My neck hurt from turning and putting too much strain on it. I wanted us to leave. I looked at Claud who was busy on his phone.

"Finding better entertainment there?" I asked.

He shook his head, his eyes still glued to his phone. He then explained "I'm in a stupid fight with Carlisle. He wants me to get out of my room."

"But you are out of your room."

"He doesn't know that."

Before I could ask him to explain briefly, we heard a girl calling his name. He looked up at me with a confused expression before turning his attention to whoever called him.

I rolled my eyes immediately when Gabby catwalked towards us, her smokey eyes on Claud. And he looked at her like a horny little boy. I felt so disrespected.

"Hey Claud.",l she smiled and acknowledged my presence. "I haven't seen you in a while. I've missed you."

She sounded so genuine that I hated it. Claud faked a smile at her and he looked at her in a way that he would never look at me. Fake smile yet awe-stricken eyes. And that's when it kicked in... A girl like me and a guy like him could never be together. Ever! And I was so stupid to think it was possible. Hope broke my heart.

Before I knew it, she was sitting on his lap. They were in an intense conversation, they both had a glow attached to their faces.

I was a third-wheel!

It hurt so bad, I wanted to cry so much and cry again at how pathetic I was being. I was so close to tears that I had to get away from them before I burst into tears like the low self-esteem freak I am.

I got up and started walking away. Some part of me hoped that all wasn't lost and he would stop me.

"Claire." I heard him say.

My heart jumped for joy and I turned around to face him with a wide smile on my face.

"If you see Carlisle, do me a favour and don't tell him where I am."

Damn! That was cold.

I nodded and continued walking away from them. I couldn't contain my tears anymore so I allowed them to fall. And I can assure you that they fell, like heavy rain on a winter's day. I kept my head down, I couldn't allow people to see me crying.

I bumped into a wall and stumbled back. Wait... a wall in the park? No way! I looked at the cause of the collision and before me was a very handsome and very tall boy. He could be as tall as Claud

"Sorry there." I heard him say.

The smile on his face disappeared and a concerned expression replaced it when he probably noticed my tears. I was an ugly crier and I'm sure my face was a wetland.

"Are you fine?" he asked "What is so sad that it has you crying in public?"

If only he knew how much my heart was breaking right now. I just wanted Claud to pull me close to him and hug me so tight that my bones would break, I believe it was only thing that could unbreak my heart. I longed for him and knowing that I couldn't have him broke me even more and that didn't stop me from hoping.

"I... It's... period pains."

His eyes widened and I mentally slapped myself for using that excuse.

"I have to go." I said and started walking, but I was pulled back.

I looked at the guy in surprise, his attention was on our hands, I looked as well. My bracelet was somehow stuck to his watch.
