Ok so this chapter is going to be mostly all Claire and Cam, but the next one will be all Massie. Hope you guys like it!
Claire walked to Derrick's car after school and was surprised to find Cam, Derrick and Massie standing in front of it with their arms crossed.
"Um hi guys." Claire said cautiously, "Are you ok?"
"Nope" Massie said, "It's about Matt."
"God not you too Massie I don't get why you guys care so much about who I date!" Claire said her voice rising.
Massie grabbed her hand and pulled her away so she could talk to her alone.
"Claire I love you, but this guy isn't a good person." Massie kept her voice low, "He raped a thirteen year old."
Claire just rolled her eyes, "You can't believe everything you hear Massie. I'm going out with him tonight and I can prove that he isn't bad"
Without another word Claire turned around and walked back to the car. Massie sighed and followed her. When she reached there she saw Cam's questioning face, but she just shook her head. He was disappointed it was clearly visible in his eyes. The drive home was silent. It was like saying something would get you killed. When Derrick finally reached their house, Claire jumped out and ran straight to her room.
Massie tried to get her to come out but nothing would work. After about an hour, Massie finally gave up. If Claire was one thing, she was proud. She would go on that date to prove he wasn't a bad person.
It was finally eight o'clock. Claire waited anxiously for Matt. When the doorbell rang, Claire ran to get it before someone else could. Shouting a quick goodbye to her parents, she left with Matt.
"So where are we going?" Claire asked as she got into his car.
Matt smirked, "You'll see when we get there."
Claire felt her stomach twist for some odd reason. She ignored it though. Nothing is going to happen, Claire get a grip! Claire thought to herself. Matt pulled into the driveway of a house.
"Um Matt where are we?" Claire asked feeling completely uneasy.
"Chill out Claire we're at my house, I made dinner." He said as he opened her door and held out a hand for her to take. Claire let out a breath, and took his hand. He led them into the house.
See Claire everything is fine! He is a good guy Claire thought. Matt pulled out her chair.
Claire blushed and gave him a quick thanks. Dinner went along without a flaw. Matt told her his childhood stories, and Claire in return told him about hers. After dinner, Matt cleared the table.
"So that was amazing. Where did you learn how to cook like that?" Claire asked watching him put the plates in the dishwasher. As soon as he was done he walked over to her, but instead of answering her question like she thought he would, he wrapped his arms around her. Suddenly he started kissing her neck. Claire struggled in his arms.
"Matt stop" Claire had her hands on his chest trying to push him off of her with little success. Then Matt slammed his lips to hers. She tried to push him off her but he was too strong. Claire was cursing herself for not listening to her sister right now. Finally when he came up for air, Claire was able to get a nice punch to his face. Thankfully it knocked him about. Grabbing her purse she ran out of the house. She kept running until the house disappeared behind her. She rummaged through her bag for her cell phone.
With shaky fingers she finally called Massie to see if she could get her. But the phone went to voice mail. After trying about five times, Claire gave up and decided to call Cam.
Unlike Massie he picked up on the first ring, "Hey Claire, are you ok?"
Claire was holding in her tear, but her own voice sounded really weak to her, "No, you were right the guy was an idiot. Can you please pick me you?"
"Ok just tell me where you are?" Cam own voice sounded extremely strained. Claire looked around trying to find something with a street name. Walking a little farther she found a street name.
"I'm on Courtly Drive." Claire answered.
"I'm on my way. Just stay away from anyone that you see, and don't talk to anyone!" Cam ordered, "I'll be there in less than five minutes."
Claire closed her phone and waited with fear for Cam to show up. True to his word, Cam came in four minutes even. Claire should know she was counting.
Cam got out of the car and walked towards her, "Come on lets go."
Instead of getting in the car Claire put her arms around Cam and started to cry. Cam wrapped her arms around her tightly and soothingly rubbed her back. They stayed like that for a while before they finally split apart and got in the car.
After a few minutes of silence, Claire finally spoke up, "You can say it."
Cam looked at her for a second before turning back to look at the road, "Say what?"
"I told you so" Claire whispered. Sudden Cam pulled the car to the side of the road. He got out of the car slamming the door behind him. Claire followed him out.
She opened her mouth to say something but he cut her off, "I told you so? Really? Claire do you have any idea how worried I was? I was sitting in my room thinking about what was happening on your date. And when you called me, oh god all I wanted to do was murder that motherfucker! I drove here as fast as I fucking could. I was going to drop you off and come back so I could beat him up! So no Claire I can't say it! Because this killed me as much as it killed you."
Claire didn't know what to say. Every time she tried to open her mouth nothing came out. No one had ever done something that sweet for her. She could feel her eyes tear up for the kindness of his gesture. Before she could talk herself out of it, she walked up to him grabbed his face and kissed him.
Cam eyes shot open in shock, but he quickly found his lips moving in sync with hers. When they broke apart for air, Cam leaned him forehead on Claire's.
"That was the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me." Claire whispered, "It was extremely chivalrous."
"Well I guess I'm just your knight in shining armor." Claire laughed.
"So that would make me your damsel in distress." This time it was Cam who laughed.
"As much as I'm enjoying this, I really should take you back home." Cam said in disappointment. Claire was too was sad to see their time end. Quietly they got into the car. The drive however wasn't quiet at all. Cam told her some of the crazy situations Derrick got them into. He had Claire laughing the whole ride home. Cam pulled into Claire's driveway.
He rounded the car and opened Claire's door before she could open it herself.
"Why thank you kind sir." Claire giggled.
"I was my pleasure." Cam said as he walked her to her door.
Claire turned to Cam, "I guess this should be the awkward part."
Cam chuckled, "No it's only going to be awkward tomorrow."
"What?" Claire asked completely lost.
"You know tomorrow when we go on a date." Cam said with a hopeful grin on his face.
Claire smiled up at him shyly, "Ok."
Cam pulled Claire towards him, but Claire turned her head away.
"I'll kiss you on the doorstep tomorrow." Before he could react she went inside giving him a wink before closing the door behind her. Claire had her back to the door. Closing her eyes she re-lived the evening in her head. No matter how horrible it had started, it had the best ending ever.
"There you are!" Massie yelled, "I was worried sick."
Claire grabbed Massie and pulled her to her where she locked the door. She told her everything that happened. Massie was furious that Matt tried to get in her pants, but after she heard the part where Cam came Massie couldn't do anything but 'aww'. Claire finished my telling her about their date tomorrow.
"That is so sweet!" Massie exclaimed, "Oh my god! He is the sweetest ever!"
Claire laughed, "I know right! But Massie I'm really sorry I didn't listen to you. I was just mad at Cam."
Massie put her arm around Claire's shoulder, "Don't worry about it Twin, and I'm sorry I didn't answer my phone."
"That wasn't your fault. Your phone was dead." Claire said defending her.
"Still I guess it was a good thing because if I had picked up then you wouldn't have called Cam!"
"Yeah I sure you're right." Claire whispered almost to herself. The girls spent the rest of the night reminiscing about their insane childhood funs. It was two o'clock when they both finally fell asleep.
So what did you think? Give me some ideas on how Derrick should get Massie 'cause I'm stuck. Thanks!
