The news of their partents getting married rendered Clare speechless. How could her mother do this to her? how could she agree to marry Jakes dad without even discussing this with her first? And at dinner with Jake, the guy she was currently dating.
"Clare-bear? Please say something."
"You're getting married? You cant be serious! Did you even think this through? You have only been together for a short period of time."
'Clare, we love each other. This is a good thing for us. Why cant you see that?" asked Glenn.
"You just got divorced!" Clare screamed at Helen. "You cant possibly think you are ready for another marriage! There is no way you are over dad yet! Did you even ask yourselves what me and Jake are supposed to do?"
"Clare!" Jake half shouted and half whispered to Clare trying to get her to keep their secret.
"Honey what Glenn and I do has nothing to do with you and Jake. We will just have to make some adjustments around the house. Clare had heard enough. She had to reveal her and Jakes dirty little secret.
"You know what? It should! Because me and Jake are dating. Probably as long as you two have!"
"That obviously has to stop." Helen demanded. "He's going to be your brother for heavens sake."
"Does it mean anything to you that me Jake started dating first? Did you ever think that me and Jake should be together, not you and Glenn?"
"You two can not be together. End of discussion."
"How about the end of anything civil there may have been between us after the divorce. Don't expect me to be apart of anything that has to do with the wedding. Cause I do not approve. I need some air and time to be alone. Im going to prom."
"Let me drive you." offered Jake trying to get some time to talk to Clare alone.
"That would defeat the purpose of needing time alone, wouldn't it?
Clare gave the people she used to trust one final look and walked out the door for prom, alone.
