Hey everyone! I am so glad I finally got a chance to type this chapter! My life has been so much easier now that I don't have all of this school stuff in the way. I guess you could say I had a 6-day weekend so far. The doctor said I have laryngitis or something. Hehe, what a nice vacation. So now that I am feeling a whole lot better, I decided to write this. I want to thank the people who reviewed. Though the number wasn't that large. I was almost depressed. I wish I could get some more reviews. I told you I don't care what you write. I could use the constructive criticism and support. Anyway, I hope that you like the chapter, I was writing it out while I was in bed sick. So enjoy it!

"I want to be with you. I've made my decision. I want you. No more waiting. I'm taking you up on your offer," Claire said as a decisive statement.

Bradin smiled widely. He felt as if he were going to fly. He rapped his arms around her waist and kissed her lightly. Then gave her a deeper kiss. With very bad timing, Lucas came running over next to them.

"Thank god! I…" He paused realizing what he had interrupted. "Oh, Bradin! Wow, I didn't realize you… well I came down here to tell you that there was a really hot blonde up at the party but it seems you have your own hot person right here so…more for me, BYE!" Lucas said quickly and ran back towards the crowd. They both laughed.

"That was different. Well… lets go see who this hot chick is," Claire said sarcastically. She rolled her eyes and dragged him up to the party.

"But I thought we…" Bradin wined.

"Trust me, I'll make it up to you later for all the time I wasted from before. Deal?" Claire asked.

"Deal," Bradin said. He walked willingly up to the deck with Claire and followed her to where Lucas was standing to see a girl in a blue dress. Bradin froze.


Chapter 6-The Search

Bradin's POV

I felt so faint when I saw her. The same feeling I got when Callie left. Only this time I was in shock and discomfort. Never had I expected this. Lucas waved his hand in front of me and then I snapped back into reality. I closed my eyes and whipped them back open, hoping the nightmare would go away. No. I was still standing there and so was she. Sarah was smiling from ear to ear and then spontaneously gave me a big hug. I didn't respond and let her hug me. I figured if she got it out of her system she would leave me alone.

"Whoa, now why does Bradin always get the hot chicks? That is so not fair," Lucas said in a quip. He tapped me on the shoulder and pulled us away. I could have hugged Lucas for pulling us away. "Come on, let me have some fun too. You have your own girl."

"What?" Sarah said angrily. "Excuse us for a minute will you Bradin? And then I promise I will make up everything to you."

Sarah grabbed Lucas by his shirt and dragged him away.

Author's POV

Inside Claire's house…

"What do you mean? Lucas? Do you mind explaining to me what you just meant?" Sarah asked irrationally.

"I'm sorry Sarah, I didn't know it myself until just now that they were together," Lucas said nervously.

"YOU IDIOT! The deal… was simple. All you had to do was make friends with Bradin, tell me everything and anything he said about me, and MAKE SURE that he didn't get with anyone else! And if you succeeded, I would give you what you wanted. The first time I let it slide with Callie because I knew she was no threat. But now you struck out AGAIN! And this time I don't know what might happen! All this planning and hard work is going down the drain because of your…your…thick skull! I stole my parents' money…for nothing! I made everyone think I went to the other side of the world…for nothing! And… on top of it all…I had to stay away from Bradin for 4 months…FOR NOTHING!" Sarah said it all so fast Lucas shuttered. He backed up a couple of steps before speaking again.

"Please calm down Sarah, I…"

"Shut-up!"

"Just hear me out…"

"You're disobeying my orders again!"

"But…"

"SHUT-UP!"

"OK,"

"Now I am going to have to fix this problem because of you! I don't know how… but I will," Sarah said pacing back and forth across the room.

"Can I still have my um…"

"Oh shut the hell up would you! You get…nothing. No sex, no kiss, not even a hug. Not now, not ever! OK?" Sarah threw a vase against the door in a fit of rage. She turned around and ran to the other side of the house.

Back outside… after Sarah and Lucas ran off…

"Oh shit! I am in so much trouble," Bradin said shuttering. Claire raised her eyebrow in confusion.

"Who was that and why did she look like she was going to jump your bones two seconds ago? And why are you in trouble?" Claire asked bemused.

"You remember the girl I told you about that used to be my girlfriend but then was one meltdown away from going psycho, so her parents send her to a school a long time away, but when she came back she stole her parents money, and ran off somewhere far away from here? Well that was her," Bradin said, finished explaining. Claire threw her eyes opened wide in surprise.

"Wait a minute, that is the girl that you lost your virginity too?" Claire asked disgusted. She made a really nasty face and stuck her tongue out. "Eww. Ok, I um…have absolutely nothing to say. Well…ok…yeah I do. Listen Bradin, you told me a lot in the past month since I met you, but I never thought one of your past stories would come back to haunt you. Talk about trouble. I feel really bad for you but at the same time I feel really bad for myself."

"What? Why?" Bradin asked shocked.

"Well… Bradin, I just got to the point where I really want to be with you and now… now we already have something threatening our relationship," Claire squeaked.

Bradin grabbed Claire by the shoulders and brought her closer to him. He stroked her hair back. "Nobody is threatening our relationship. I promise you that. I have been dreaming of being with you for a long time Claire and I am not going to change that now because my ex is back in town. Never."

"Good, because I would never let you go anyway. Oh and if that bitch thinks she's going to try and get you back…we are going to throw down…World War 3 is going to break loose…and she is going to lose," Claire said excitedly. She smiled and kissed Bradin softly.

Bradin broke the kiss. "That would be fun to watch. Do you think you could like… fight it out in one of those boxing rinks filled with all that mud in it? Oh and both of you have to be in bikini's."

"You pervert," she smacked him playfully. He grabbed her around her waist and spun her around. "Let me down!"

After he let her feet touch the ground, a big shatter rung out. The music came to a halt and the crowd looked toward the house. Bradin and Claire started running without any questions. When they got to the house they saw Lucas standing there puzzled. Bradin came in and snapped his fingers to get him out of the trance he was in.

"I'm sorry Bradin. I was a friend with you for all the wrong reasons. But I still want to be your friend. I just let Sarah get the best of me," Lucas said confessing.

"Dude it's ok. Where is Sarah?" Bradin said forgivingly.

"She went that way," Lucas pointed. "Find her before she does something really stupid." Lucas said vexed.

"Yeah, um Lucas? If she comes back, please don't let her out of your sight. I don't want her getting into any trouble out there. If she hasn't already…" Bradin paused. He grabbed Claire and rushed out the door that Sarah went through. Bradin knew he needed to find her and fast.


"Ouch!" Claire let out a startled cry. Bradin stopped.

"What happened? Are you ok?" Bradin asked concerned. He rushed backwards to get to Claire. He realized that Claire had snagged her dress on a big rock. He tried to pull it out but found that he only made the snag worse. He cringed and backed away. "Sorry."

"Oh, I don't care. This definitely could be worse," Claire simple put. She smiled and tripped slightly, losing her balance from the rock. Bradin shrugged and moved closer.

"Oh? And how?" Bradin asked.

"Because I could be stuck in this big old rock with some random guy that would try to take advantage of me because I couldn't move from this spot," Claire explained.

"You analyze way too much you know that?" Bradin laughed. He took his hat off. "And how do you know I wouldn't take advantage of you?"

"Well…I guess I don't," Claire said. Bradin moved as close as he could to look her in the eyes and touched his lips with hers. The passion grew with every second that passed. The kiss grew deeper and deeper. A scream rang out in the middle, forcing the kiss to break. Bradin looked every which way trying to figure out what it was. He un-rapped his hands from Claire's waist and took a few steps away from her. He stepped over some rocks and landed. "Bradin?" Claire ripped her dress out of the rock and followed him. She looked at her dress while she was walking to see that a big part of it was missing. "Great." She heard another scream. This time it was Bradins'. She ran as fast as she could but when she got farther than she knew Bradin had traveled to, she turned around. She headed back some in hopes of finding him.

Inside a cave…

"Sarah, let me go," Bradin said in a whisper. "Let me go!"

"Be quiet!" Sarah replied. "I will as soon as I get what I want. Well…then again, to get what I want I may never be able to let you go."

"Sarah, please. I really never meant to hurt you but I don't want to be with you anymore. I'm with Claire now," Bradin stated. Sarah angered quickly and taped Bradins' hands behind his back. "Sarah let me go!" he screamed.

Back outside…

"Bradin?" Claire looked around to see a small opening to a cave. "Bradin?" she hollered again, more quiet this time. She entered and tiptoed through the damp darkness of the cave. She squinted and saw two figures. One moving about and the other as a statue. Claire hid for a minute and watched.

"See Bradin, one way or another, you will be mine. And if this is what it takes, so be it. Bradin…I want you. And if I can't have you willingly, I'll get you forcible," Sarah said. She walked out of the cave through the other entrance to get something. Claire jumped out of the spot she was hiding in and ran over to Bradin. She took the tape off of him and pulled him out of the cave.

"Lets get you out of here," they started running and before they got about as far as Claire's house when Lucas stopped them.

"Lucas you have to get Bradin away from here. Did you bring your car? You need to take him home," Claire gave Bradin a hug. "I'll see you tomorrow. Please be careful."

"Thank you Claire," he kissed her one last time. "I'll see you tomorrow. Um…meet me at Charles' Chocolates at 10:00. Ok?"

"Yeah, ok. Bye Bradin," Claire let go of him and walked towards her house. She looked back about half way there and saw Bradin and Lucas walking to the car. Behind them in the darkness she saw a girl in a blue dress staring at her with a mean twinkle. Claire shivered and ran to her house. Ignoring all the guests, she shut the door and locked it behind her. She locked all the windows and doors and went to her balcony last. She looked out over the sand and saw nothing. Sarah had left. For now she was safe. But Claire didn't know when she would come back. And she was frightened because she knew that Sarah would.


Well, I guess this is it for now. I don't like this chapter. But hey, can't always like what you do so here it is. I can say that I really would love to have a lot more reviews. Please, please, please, make me happy and review. I will love you forever. Hey um…can I have at least three. I hope I can.

And thank you again everyone who reviewed in the past, I am so grateful for every single one of you who reviewed. Anyway, I think I am going to bring this psychobabble to a halt. Smallville is on and I am going to be confused. Sorry for any mistakes I promise to fix them some day. Bye for now!
