Finally Here

"Claire! Hey Claire!" The voice was familiar, but I continued walking. Then it hit me, and I hoped it wasn't him; the guy who had abandoned me for three years, not bothering to leave a note or even call. I was three feet away from my car when I felt his hand wrap around my arm. "Hey! Slow down, what’s the rush?" He said. Dante Night. I blinked a few times shaking out of my haze, and wrenched my arm out of his grip and snapped, "The rush is I have better things to do than talking to you, like picking up my brother." "What happened to the nice girl I-" "The nice girl you left behind three years ago? She's gone Dante, this is what's left of her." I said gesturing at myself, before turning back around, trying to make it to my car. "What the hell?!?" He yelled. "Do you think I wanted to leave you? I tried Claire, I tried, but-" "But what Dante?!? You left me for three years, never once did I get anything-" “I tried, Claire I tri-” "How?!? How Dante?!? Trying would have been a call, trying would have been an email, trying would have been a text, trying would have been anything! But instead you left me with nothing!" I could feel people staring I knew I was causing a scene but I didn't care anymore, if he thought just because he showed up, and I was going to magically fall back into his arms he had another thing coming. "I tried Baby, I-"I wouldn't let him hurt me again. So I said the words that would break him and broke me to say them, "I'm not yours anymore Dante, and I won't ever be again." I told him Everyone has secrets and everyone has a past. High school senior Claire Sae has plenty of her own, the fact that her mother is nowhere to be found and more than likely high off her ass, and her other secret well she doesn't know about that one yet, but her missing boyfriend, Dante, might know. So what happens when Dante comes back three years later? Completely changed and bearing his own secrets, secrets that will change Claire's life completely.
