"Okay, spill. NOW!", Louis said as he and Claire sat on the couch. Claire inwardly groaned. Even she still couldn't figure out what happened!

"Uhm. Well.. so basically.. I don't know what happened. I'm still trying to know what just happened." Claire explained to him.

"Okay. First thing. Why were you walking ALONE at like 7:30 at night?", he scolded her.

"CRAP! That's right! Well it's kind of the reason why I'm here.." she told him trying not to look at him. "Ryan kinda.. Uhm how do I put this? He cheated on me."

The look of shock first came on his face, but was soon dominated by anger. It had been a while since Louis had been this mad. The only other time was when he found out about what Claire's father had done and even that was still a touchy subject. Louis stood up and started to pace on the floor.

"Where is he? I swear I will murder him! How dare he do this to you?! With who? How do you know?", he started to interrogate Claire. He was not going go be subtle about it.

"I-I don't know! Louis please calm down! Just let me explain everything to you!" Claire said. "Please just sit and calm down. I'll explain everything."

Louis sat down on his couch and breathed a couple times to calm down. "Okay I'm fine. Tell me now."

"Alright. But Lou please promise me that your not going to flip out ok?"

"Ok. I promise."

"Okay well it all started when I was walking around town and I was walking towards the park and I saw him And Scarlett on the swings kissing. Cliché, I know but it happened, so I went home and just cried my eyes out. Later on he told me to meet him at the park so thats where I was going. On the way there I heard some noises coming out of the ally. Me being the stupid girl I am went in to check it out and there were two guys waiting there.. I could've gotten raped Lou! " Claire exclaimed.

Her body started to shake as she broke down in tears. She still couldn't wrap her head around the situation she was in just an hour ago. Lou came up to her and hugged her. He hated when she was like this but she really needed to tell him the rest of the story so he could figure out what to do.

"How did you manage to get away? You have to tell me Claire," Louis persisted.

"M-okay." Claire nodded. She wiped away her tears, trying to stay calm to at least finish the rest of the story. "So like I said I could've gotten raped. But I didn't. When I yelled help someone heard me so he saved me. He yelled to stop and the men let go of me, so I ran but I bumped into the guy and i kinda fell to the floor. I completely broke down. We went to the park and Ryan came. He thought I was his girlfriend still! So I lashed out and he grabbed me," Claire stated while looking at a bruise forming on her wrist.

When Louis tried to look she pulled away. She couldn't afford to have Louis get in one of his phases. She pushed him back on the couch and sat her head in his lap and said, "Let me finish my story ok?."

She could feel as he nodded his head. Claire took a deep breath and continued, "When Ryan grabbed me the guy slapped away his hand and I threatened to call the cops so Ryan left. And that's when you came, but before I went to your car he said my name."

Louis' face turned into his thinking one. It seemed as though he was confused. He got up and went to the kitchen. When he got back he had a bowl of popcorn and put in a movie. When he sat back down he told Claire,"We'll talk more about it tomorrow on the way to school."

Sometime during the movie Claire fell asleep because when she woke up she was on Louis guest bed. She checked the time and it said 5:57. She got up out of bed and went to look for her bag. When she found it she took a shower and got ready. She wore what she was wearing last night because it hadn't gotten dirty.

Claire stepped into the kitchen and the smell on bacon, eggs, and pancakes hit her. Louis had always loved to cook.

"What's cookin' good lookin'," she joked, but apparently Louis wasn't in a joking mood because she got no reply from him. When he was done cooking and serving the plates he sat down across from Claire and asked the question she'd been dreading.

"Who was the guy that helped save you?"

Claire just sat there thinking of a way to answer. After a minute or two she finally answered him, "I don't know but apparently he knew me. I don't know how and I don't know from where.. But all I know is I want to see him again."

Louis nodded his head and started eating. The rest of breakfast was pretty quite with no interruptions. When they finished eating Claire helped pick up and washed dishes. Then they were off to school.

The ride there was a replay of breakfast. "Well I guess I'll see you in art then," Louis said to Claire while walking up the steps.

"Yea. See ya", she responded. Waiting for her as she arrived to her locker was Amanda and their other good friend Alisa.

Alisa has short dark brown hair that went to her shoulders and was very tiny. Her eyes ranged from brown to hazel. Manda, Lisa, and Lou were her best friends. Her main people. It was no surprise when she found them at her locker.

"Hey guys!" she greeted enthusiastically. She couldn't let them know what happened last night.

"Hello.", they simultaneously answered. Claire chuckled.

"How's your morning going today love? I must say I was a little surprised when you walked in with Lou there.", Alisa said with her british accent. She had moved to the US two years ago from London.

"My morning is going wonderfully, thank you for asking. And yea I stayed at his house. Just wanted to kick it with someone." Claire said trying to imitate Lisa's accent and failing miserably at it.

The three girls laughed and started to walk to their first period that they all had together. Claire wasn't paying close attention and bumped into someone which caused all her books to fall.

"LUKE! Watch where your going. It's your first day and your already messing things up." Amanda said while bending down to help Claire pick up her books.

"Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to bump into you," Luke said helplessly while standing there unsure of what to do. He couldn't but help feel like an idiot.

"Oh yea sure like you didn't mean to. This is completely your fau-", Amanda started but got interrupted by Claire.

"No no. It's my fault I wasn't paying attention. I'm the one who should be apologizing."

When they were done picking everything up Amanda and Claire got up and for the first time Claire and Luke saw each other. Claire gasped in shock while Luke froze.

"Claire?" Luke asked.

This was all to much for Claire and without a second though ran to her first period.

"Nice going idiot. While your at it you wanna try and scare Lisa here too?" Amanda asked look.

Luke scowled at her and ran after Claire. He can't let her get away.
