Clarissa West is a great dancer and a senior in her highschool. Her mom has a dance institute where Clarissa occasionally goes and teaches the students. Grace Mason,her mother's best friend has a special occasion coming up and she wants Clarissa to...
It was around 10:30 p.m when I reached my house. I removed my helmet and looked back at Jake's car. He stopped his car and got out. As he neared me he gave me a small smile.
"Thank you for hearing me out. " Jake said.
"I did it for myself. I wanted myself to have an answer and finally I got one. I am glad that I heard your side of story. " I nodded.
"That means you don't hate me now?" He asked suddenly. His tone had a tinge of desperation to it.
I stayed silent. He took that as a sign. His face dropped. "Oh okay then...bye. See you later." With that he turned around and started walking to his car. His shoulders were slumped.
I felt guilty. It's not like I hate him. The thing just made it hard for me to trust him at the moment even though he explained to me everything. I wanted to trust him but it would take some time and healing.
"Jake..." I called out. He turned around. "It's not like I hate you. It's just that.." He completed the sentence for me. "It will take some time and healing to go back to how it was. I understand." He passed me a small,sad smile. "But I will try my best to make up for it." He finished.
I nodded and smiled at him in return. "Good night Rissa. Sleep tight." With that Jake stepped in his car and rode away.
"Oh I will, after soo long." I whispered softly and turned to my house.
Mom was laying on the couch with her head on my dad's lap. I smiled at the sight. Still,so in love.
As they heard the door open,they turned towards it. My mom got up as soon as she saw me.
"What the hell Clarissa! Where were you? I was worried sick." Her eyes were glaring at me. "And you took your father's bike. Where were you?"
Oh shoot, I forgot about it.
"Sweetie,that's not a way to talk to our daughter. Sit down and calm yourself first." Dad rubbed mom's back to calm her.
They both were looking at me for answers.
"Uhmm...it was a girl emergency. Taylor had a huge argument with Sam so she called me. She was crying so I rushed to her. I took dad's bike for that." I lied. "Sorry." I said, apologising for making them worry and also lying to them.
"Oh poor Taylor. Is she okay now?" Mom asked me.
"Yes better now. Okay now, I am going to bed. Good night guys." I said as I started to rush upstairs.
"But Clary,what about dinner. Eat something." Mom shouted after me.
"Not hungry." I shouted back as I closed the door to my room.
Today was a weird day. I got my answers,had a full conversation with Jake without cursing him and rode my father's bike after soo long.
I scrolled through my Pinterest feed but was too distracted to concentrate on anything. I freshened up and got ready for bed. My mind was still too engrossed with what Jake told me today.
I got into bed and fell asleep with Jake still on my mind.

The next morning I got ready for school.

Clarissa's outfit^^^^^^^^
Taylor told me that she was picking me up today. So I waited for her. I don't know why but I was really excited to go to school today.
Taylor pulled up in my driveway. I was just gonna rush outside to her when mom told me to invite her in for some breakfast. I did.
"Hi Jen! Oh my God,you look gorgeous." Taylor greeted my mother. I rolled my eyes at her.
"Oh Taylor, still trying to butter your way through." My mom laughed and hugged her.
"Yo Max!" My father rolled his eyes at Taylor but gave her a fond hug. My family was like a second family to Taylor.
"Sandwiches or eggs Taylor?" Mom asked as she helped my dad cook.
"Sandwiches please." And with that mom served us both some sandwiches and orange juice. All four of us sat down at the table.
"So Taylor...are you okay now?" Mom asked suddenly to Taylor.
Oh shit.
"Yeah...why wouldn't I be?" She asked,totally perplexed.
Shoot.
"Oh don't try to pretend Taylor...Clary told me about last night." Mom huffed and frowned at Taylor with concern.
Taylor gave me a look. I tried to give her a hint through my eyes.
"Umm...oh yeah. I am fine. Totally. Just had a little diarrhea last night." Taylor started rambling. I almost face palmed myself.
My mom looked confused as ever. I kicked Taylor under the table.
"Ouch..what the ..." Taylor scowled at me. "Oh look,my stomach is still a little upset." She tried to act as if her stomach was aching.
I wanted to die.
"Clary. You told me...what is happening?" Mom asked me. Dad was silent,minding his own business.
"Uhmm mom, she was embarrassed last night,so I made up a story." I nodded and gave her a forced smile. "Right Taylor." I glared at Taylor in order for her to agree with me.
She nodded right that second.
She glared at me back and raised an eyebrow. I knew at that time that she is not going to leave me until I tell her everything.
"Thanks for the breakfast Jen and Max! See you later. Bye!" Taylor shouted as we exited my house.
"Bye girls." Dad said. Mom followed us outside.
"Drive safe." I rolled my eyes at mom. Typical mother.
As we pulled away from my house Taylor spoke up immediately. "Spill. Now."
I hesitated a little at first but then told her everything, every minor detail.
"What the actual hell. What the hell! The hell! What!" Taylor exclaimed.
"I know!" I agreed.
"First of all,WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THAT BITCH, MADISON!? Is she in her mind or what? Pregnancy! That's really low,even for her." Taylor shook her head,a disappointed look on her face.
"Tell me about it. Because of her I thought of Jake that way!" I said.
"Speaking of which,I still don't like him around you that much. I have to see how he is acting first,then I'll tell you. I don't want him hurting you again. Though it wasn't his fault but still. I am sorry if I am being overprotective right now." Taylor said. I smiled at her overprotectiveness and nodded at her instructions.
My best friend is my personal detective and bodyguard.
