"Come on please?" Claire begged.
"No" Derek laughed, "You do realise you look pathetic right now don't ya?"
"But I look nothing like you" she replied with a grin.
He stared at her in shock then smirked and charged at her. She screamed as she ran away from him while laughing but stopped as she ran into someone's chest and fell on the ground. She looked up in alarm then grinned as she realised it was Travis. He smiled as he helped her up then she hid behind him and grabbed his arms so he was standing between her and Derek. He looked between the two siblings confused then gasped as Claire pulled him into her chest and started to walk backwards and out the apartment, while keeping an eye on her brother.
When Claire was sure Derek wasn't following them she let go of Travis and sighed in relief. Travis looked over at her nervously then looked at the ground while playing with the ends of his sleeves. He couldn't really look at her now that they were alone. His thoughts kept on going back to the previous night. All he could see was her naked and moaning underneath him as he pounded in her.
"Yo, Travis" Claire said, snapping him out of his thoughts.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Just because we slept together last night, doesn't mean you have to get all nervous on me when we're together" she answered, "You don't see Derek and Jones acting all weird around each other"
"I'm not like Derek though" he replied.
"I would hope not. It's bad enough that we have one Derek Webb at the college, we don't want another one. The women wouldn't be safe"
He weakly smiled at her and she laughed while gently punching his arm. He gently nudged her then they heard Mac calling out her name. Claire sighed in annoyance while hiding her face in her hands then Mac walked over to them and placed his hands on her hips. Travis shook his head at his brother and Mac laughed while pulling Claire closer to his chest.
"I am hearing an interesting rumour about you girl" he said. Claire rolled her eyes and Mac chuckled while stroking her hair. "Something about you being my personal whore"
"We both know that it's not true Mac" she said.
"We could make it true" he purred.
"I'm afraid you would like that too much"
He laughed as he roughly kissed the back of her head then looked up and scoffed as he saw Derek glaring at him. Mac wrapped his arm around Claire's shoulders then pulled her into his chest and she looked up at him confused.
"I'll see you later babe" he said.
She nodded then before she could reply he kissed her. Her eyes went wide with shock then he pulled away and winked at her. Derek pulled his sister away then Mac walked off with a smirk. Claire sighed then looked over at Travis and he weakly smiled at her, trying to show her he was sorry for his brother's actions. She placed her hand on his shoulder then looked over at Derek and noticed he was really tense. She bit her bottom lip nervously then Derek looked over at her and pulled her in for a hug while resting his head on top of her own.
"I don't want you near him anymore" he said. Claire looked at him confused and he sighed while kissing the top of her head. "He's bad news Claire. I know that he's your brother Travis, but I don't trust him at all around my sister"
Travis nodded then they walked back to the apartment to work on the rumour about Naomi.
GOSSIP
"Travis, you're doing it again" Claire said.
"Sorry" he said as he put his camera down.
"It's okay Travs but, it does make me feel a bit awkward. I know you're thinking about last night so talk"
He looked away from her shyly and she smiled while sitting forward and grabbing his hands. He looked up at her then cleared his throat before looking away. She tilted her head to the side in confusion then realised why he was nervous so she grabbed her robe and put it on so she wasn't showing her underwear to him. She let out a deep breath then sat next to him and looked at his camera. Travis snuck a glance over at her then placed his hand on his neck to feel the necklace Claire made him when they first met. He sighed then dropped his hand and took the camera away from her before standing up and walking over to his computer.
"Okay you can ignore what happened but please don't ignore me" Claire said as she played with the end of her robe. "You're my closest friend Travis I don't want to lose you"
"I don't normally do this Claire" he said as he looked over at her.
"What don't you do?" she asked confused.
"I don't normally hang out with the women I sleep with"
"If it makes you feel better, I don't normally sleep with my friends" she replied.
He smiled at her then motioned her over and she grinned while walking over to him. He sat on the edge of the chair then pulled her down next to her so he could show her the screen of the computer. She rested her head on his shoulder then watched as he pulled up the pictures he just took of her and started to change the colour and crop them.
"What are you doing?" she asked curiously.
"I'm going to make a collage" he answered, "With different colours, shapes and pictures. I'm going to kind of make it like a timeline of when I met you and how much you have changed over the years. I had this idea of turning you into some kind of angel that proves your freedom"
"You're so cute when you talk about art" she grinned.
He bit the side of his thumb to try and hide his smile then they both looked up as Jones walked in the room angrily. She glared at Claire then looked over at Travis and stood in front of the computer. Claire raised an eyebrow at the other female's behaviour but was ignored and shook her head.
"Travis we need to talk" Jones said urgently.
"I'm kind of busy" he said. She rolled her eyes in frustration then walked over to a huge painting of Naomi and ripped it down the middle.
"Now Travis!" she snapped before walking out of the room.
Travis looked over at Claire and she shrugged her shoulders in response before standing up and walking out of his room and to the main room. He bit his bottom lip then saved his work and followed the girls lead.
"So what is this all about?" Claire asked as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"You and your brother have been lying to us" Jones answered.
"What are you on about?" Derek asked as he walked down the stairs.
"They know Naomi" she answered.
"Well I wouldn't want to make a rumour about some random person" Claire said.
"No, you two went to school with her. I went to Vermont and saw pictures of you three together in the school newsletter"
Claire shook her head with a laugh then Derek walked over to the bar and made himself a drink. Claire sat on the couch and watched in amusement as Jones tried to get Travis out of the rumour. He looked over at Claire then took a drink from her brother before walking over to her and sat next to her.
"Why are you picking their side?" Jones asked in disbelief, "They have been lying to us since this rumour started. Derek is the one who raped Naomi and now he's trying to blame someone else for it. Come on Travis you're smarter than this, you have to know what's right"
"I don't know" he whispered while holding his drink to his forehead.
She angrily shook her head then threw her drink to the ground and stormed out of the room. Claire looked at her sadly then over at her brother and he shook his head and she nodded while standing up. Travis looked up at her confused and she smiled while messing up his hair. He playfully pushed her hand away then Claire went into her room and decided to do a bit of homework.
GOSSIP
Claire was sitting in the park when she saw Naomi staring at her with a glare. She stood up then walked towards her and Naomi took a small step back in fear but stopped and stood up straight. Claire crossed her arms over her chest and put all her weight onto her left leg.
She was different, Naomi noticed. Claire was more confident now than she was when they were in High School. Her hair had also changed, it used to be down to her waist and always straight. Now it was just past her shoulders and had a slight wave to it, even her eyes had become a few shades darker. She was thinner now as well.
"You've changed a lot" Naomi said, "You used to be chubby"
"I'm not the only one that's changed" Claire replied, "You turned slutty. Saying that you were going to save yourself for marriage, but now you had sex with three guys at a meat packing district. You were never like that"
"You're one to talk. Becoming someone's personal whore"
"At least I know who I slept with"
"What about my sixteenth birthday Claire? Do you remember what happened that night?"
"Don't you dare bring that night up" Claire growled.
"You screamed for your brother. But he wasn't there was he? He was busy fucking the school's nurse instead of looking out for you" Claire looked away from her sadly and Naomi smirked while placing her hands on her hips. "The only member of your family who you thought you could trust, and he wasn't there to save you"
"Shut up" Claire croaked.
"Am I hurting your feelings Webb? You know how it feels now don't you? I know that you have something to do with this. I mean, who else could come up with a rape story better than a rape victim? The rumour sounds a lot like how you were raped"
"I said shut up!"
Naomi grinned at her then gasped as Claire tackled her to the ground and grabbed her hair. Naomi cried out in pain then Claire started to hit her head on the ground but soon got thrown off her. She groaned in pain as she fell on a rock then Naomi jumped on her and started to choke her with her hands. Claire tried to pry her hands off her but Naomi tightened her grip and growled.
"You ruined my life! You were my friend and you turned your back on me. I have never wanted someone dead so much than I have wanted you dead!"
"Get off me" Claire snarled.
"No! You picked your brother over me. Your brother left you, but you still chose him over your best friend!" Naomi screamed.
Claire tried to grab a nearby rock but couldn't reach it and she looked around fearfully. She then remembered the rock she fell on so she grabbed that and hit Naomi across the head with it. She cried out in pain while falling off her and Claire gasped for breath while looking up at the sky. She looked over at Naomi then stood up and placed her hands on her neck to check for scratches.
"You need to get over it Naomi" Claire said as she traced her scratch marks, "What happened between us was in the past. Derek and I were happy here, we forgot what happened but then you ruined it by turning up. Why the hell would you come to this college of all places? You should just leave"
"No" Naomi groaned.
"I am not asking you, I am telling you. I never want to see you again. You leave my school, you leave my town and you leave my family alone"
Naomi glared at her then weakly pulled herself up and watched angrily as Claire walked away from her once again.
GOSSIP
It was night and Claire was busy drinking at the bar when she felt someone place their hand on her shoulder. She looked up and grinned as she noticed it was Travis. He smiled at her then ordered himself a drink as he sat down next to her.
"Where were you after Jones left?" he asked.
"I went to the park" she answered, "I bumped into an old friend and was reminded of the worst night of my life"
"What happened to your neck? Did you get attacked?"
"She choked me" she laughed. Travis looked at her concerned but she ignored the look and continued to laugh. "That crazy son of a bitch tried to kill me"
"You're alive so she didn't succeed. How much have you had to drink?"
"Just a few I swear" he raised an eyebrow at her and she sighed while holding her head in her hands. "Am I a bad friend Travis?"
"No"
"Then why do I feel like shit right now? Naomi was my friend and I didn't believe her when she said my brother raped her. She needed me but I left her. That makes me a horrible friend"
Travis looked at her sadly then sighed and grabbed her hand. Claire looked over at him tiredly and he smiled while rubbing the back of her hand with his thumb. She lifted her head up then moved over to him and hugged him tightly while hiding her face in the crook of his neck. He awkwardly placed his hands on her back and was shocked when he felt her tears on his neck. He patted her back then the bartender came over and smiled at the young couple.
"I think you should take her home mate" he said, "She's been here since two this afternoon"
"How many has she had?" Travis asked.
"I don't know I only just started my shift. You would need to ask the guy before me"
Travis nodded while thanking him then half led, half dragged Claire out of the bar. She smiled up at him then giggled as she stumbled on her own feet. He rolled his eyes with a smile then called out for a taxi so they could get back to the apartment easier.
I hope you guys liked the interaction between Naomi and Claire. It kind of gives a little bit of background between the two.
The next chapter a lot more about Claire's past will be told to you guys, so I hope you will like that.
