Warning: There are swearing, and mature themes in Clarésse's story.

A/n: When Clarésse is talking it's in regular font, and when it's flashback it's italics ok? Good!

"First a lied to you about my past, after I turned 14 I told Annamaria that I was fine on my own. So she dropped me off at Tortuga. For the first year I was fine, I met Vannesa, then she had to go. I was fine with that, then there was a girl named Maya, I think she's dead I should look into that. Anyways then one night I was sitting in the bar when…

"Hey!" The voice said from behind.

"Great! Some idiot trying to pick me up."

She turned around.

"For some reason I felt different when I saw him. We started dating then on our 7th date he introduced me to Michael his brother. I felt really different around Michael, but I denied it. Then after about a year of dating Michael got a chance on a ship. I was 15 when I met Tom; I was turning 16 by now. I remember that night so clearly."

"I'm going to miss you Mick." Tom said.

"Sure you will." Michael murmured.

"I'll miss you too." Clarésse said.

They hugged.

For Clarésse it was just a friend-to-friend hug.

But for Michael he wanted it to be something more.

Michael quickly whispered in her ear when Tom turned away.

"If he hurts you, your strong fight back, then find me, even if I'm half way across the world, I will came, if you need a shoulder to cry on I'm here."

"Ok."

"I had no idea what he was talking about, but if he hadn't told me that, I wouldn't be here, like right here, I'd be some where else. When I turned 17 Tom showed his true side. He started to drink and abuse me. Then I found out he cheated on me. And when I confronted him, things turned very ugly."

"Why did you cheat on me?" Clarésse asked.

"I won't have if you had just given in." Tom said angrily. "Now let's just drop it, innless you changed your mind."

"No Tom!"

"He pinned me down to the bed, I tried to get up but a couldn't, then he started to undone my top…"

Clarésse broke down in tears…

Did Tom go through with it? Did Michael come back? Or did Clarésse get away herself? Did she get away? Read on to find out.
