Eternally Yours

Chapter Six

„I can't undo what I have done.
I can not say what I have said.
Can't take it back, It's a little late... now.
I didn't mean to hurt you... baby...
In any way" – Walk Away – Aloha From Hell

Christmas was over in no time. The first christmas without eachother. How the table's have turned. No answers to the questions, nothing much. The days flew away in no time, the day, was the last of this damn year. Kelly's parents went away quickly, so the whole day was theirs, to have fun. Claire didn't want to take part in the house decorating thing, she sat on Kelly's bed, and listened to some sad music, to keep up with her, and wrote to her notebook. Everything seemed harder without even speaking to him. But she had to keep that in mind, that she sent him away. Because he couldn't answer to her. That was the only thing. But nothing could fade away. The only thing she wanted was those answers. And maybe this could be the time when she will find out everything.
The afternoon came fast. Claire stopped writing, and went to change her clothes for the night. Soon, their friends arrived. For luck, other girls attended to this huge party. It was not until, when Claire saw a familiar face, but it wasn't Chris. That rookie from Sunday. She almost ran up to him. It was strange, that Chris didn't arrive yet… He promised…

„What brought you here?" Claire asked.

„The Redfield girl, nice to see you." Leon answered. „I thought you will be at the RPD, not here."

„What are you talking about?" Claire asked back.

„You seem to be without your boyfriend, I saw him in the RPD when I came out a few hours ago." Leon answered.

„He lied!" Claire shouted in anger.

I thought I… I matter… Claire thought. Nothing seems to come together for her. And it won't gonna stop until she gets what she wants.

„Want me to take you there? There's still a few hours until the new year." Leon said.

„Hell yeah!" Claire answered.

The ride took like a few minutes, but seemed like an hour for Claire. Her heart was breaking down again. What she has to live through again? Because he doesn't say what he wants to. But this has to end, now!
Leon showed the way around, and the way to go along. He wanted to step outside of it. It's not his business, but since he took her all the way here, he didn't mind all the walking through this. When Claire finally saw Chris after all those hard days, her anger started to hit even more.

„Should've know this." Claire said.

„What are you doing here?" Chris stood up.

„I could ask the same." Claire answered. „You promised me something, and you didn't do it!"

„Look, Claire. It's all wrong." Chris said.

„What are you talking about?" Claire asked.

„Everything. What happened. And could happen." Chris answered.

„So this was the reason you didn't come." Claire sighed.

„I guess so…" Chris answered. „Look, I'm sorry…"

„No, you don't!" Claire screamed.

Everyone was scared a bit, but she couldn't hold it in any longer. It was about to come out. She was all broken inside. And what she was waiting for? Returned feelings? Oh yeah… But that didn't come out Chris that easy.
She couldn't stand any longer. She stormed out of the office, and ran all the way out, facing Leon's car, waiting for him to come out, and get back to that hell of party. The only thing she wanted to do was destroying her body. And a New Year Eve's party is perfect for that.

„You okay?" Leon asked, as he was trying to cathc some breath. He was running all the way to follow Claire.

„Just let's get back. I need something straight to drink and hit me hard like a truck." Claire said, while she let out a few single tear to come out.

„Nothing is okay, Claire, I see." Leon said, as he opened the door tot he car, to let them in.

„I hate my fucking life!" Claire cryied out. „I hate everything, I hate fucking school, I hate fucking waking up, I hate fucking staying aways, and I fucking love him! But he doesn't love me back!"

„On that Sunday, you two were so perfect… I don't understand why he throwed you away…" Leon said, as he slowly pulled Claire over for a little hug. „Let's get this out tonight, and start the new year better."

„Sounds like a good plan." Claire said.

But what a horrible plan. When they've returned, Claire straight up walked tot he alcohol section and mixed almost everything she could find. And drank like five shot of those. Nobody knew what was going on, but they all tryied to cheer for Claire to drink more. While Leon tryied to help Claire to get some fresh air, his phone kept all the way buzzing. Chris was sending him a lot of texts. He didn't answer to him. He saw how Claire was hurt after all, and the last thing he wanted was for them to see eachother.

„Your girlfriend texting you?" Claire asked, as she laughed a bit.

„No." Leon sighed. „Sadly, I'm in the same shoe as you."

„Loving your sibling?" Claire asked again, and then she realized, she shouldn't say that. But since she was drunk, she wouldn't remember it tomorrow.

„What?" Leon asked back, while he freaked out a bit. „You are crazy Claire."

„I know." Claire laughed.

Leon couldn't believe in his ears. So he quickly send a text to Chris, saying that Claire is REALLY drunk, and talking about some crazy stuff. Leon knew, he will regret this text immediatly. But he was in shock.

„Want some?" Leon asked, while he showed her the cigarette box.

„Oh, yeah." Claire smiled. „Might make me feel relaxed a bit."

„It's okay." Leon said. „When I got drunk first, I was screaming all the way on the streets. Someone even called the police on me."

„Hopefully, you won't arrest me." Claire laughed.

The party was alright. Kelly started to get ready for launching the fireworks, there were only minutes left to midnight. What made Chris speed up his damn car to arrive on time to Kelly's house. He stormed through the door again.

„The heck!" Claire screamed as he heard that slam.

Chris recognized the words, and started to run towards it. Like his life depended on it. He saw these two sitting outside of the house.

„The heck are you doing here?" Claire asked.

„You are really drunk." Chris said.

„The fuck cares?!" Claire asked back. „You don't!"

„I fucking do, Claire!" Chris shouted.

„The only thing you do is pushing me away!" Claire cryied out. „You don't even love me even a bit!"

„I do love you Claire, but…" Chris said.

„But?" Claire asked. „All about this motherfucking but's. Nothing matters after those words." Claire said, as she throw the empty champagne bottle to the ground.

„Why did you do that?" Chris asked.

„Saw what I did?" Claire asked. „You did this to me!"

„You just cannot say these out loud." Chris said.

„You fucking shattered me!" Claire screamed.

The countdown has started. Kelly already shot some fireworks in the air. As Chris heard that the counting was about to close. He walked in front of Claire, then knowing perfectly, he wouldn't do this any other time, he pulled Claire a little closer then kissed her.
And then, it was midnight. Everyone was screaming about the new year. And for Claire, the world went on silence mode, because of what just happened…

A/N: Oh god, what a long rollercoaster. Some more like this will sure be up. I'm enjoying this pain what I put these two through. Anyways Happy New Year Eve's guys. I cannot believe that in 2021 I will start to plan my own wedding!
