Hey, so this is the third chapter! Enjoy!
Ch 3: Stop It!
Clare POV:
I can't take this anymore! I can't take it! Why is it always me! Why am I always the victim, why do I always get hurt. A lot of people hurt me K.C, Jenna… Eli, who else maybe my parents. I'm a good person, I stay out of trouble and get good grades. I go to church, for god sakes I wear a purity ring. I glared at the silver band and twirled it between my fingers as a tear dropped on it which made the ring glisten. I threw my hands up putting them in my ginger curls and pulled at them. I have to let it out already!
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" I screamed at the top of my lungs while stomping my foot on the pavement. People turned to stare. But who cares public embarrassment isn't running through my mind right now. I'm pissed so I stopped my walking and ran full speed down the sidewalk. I need to get home, but when I turned the corner I smashed into someone. I fell to the ground and so did the other person.
"What the Hell… Clare?" The person said. Oh no I so don't need this right now. I looked up and dried the tears.
"Hey Jenna. Sorry" I said sincerely as I got up and helped her up as well. " I wasn't looking."
"No… No! It was my fault too." She said kindly I tried to look down at the ground but my eyes stopped at her huge stomach.
"Jenna.. are you" I tried to ask but got interrupted by Jenna.
"Pregnant? Yeah pretty much." she said with a giggle. I stared at her surprised.
"I guess you already know who the father is. But the coward left me in my time of need. But when he was in trouble I was always there. Bastard." Jenna said but mumbled the last part. I knew K.C changed over the years but how can he be so immature. My hate for Jenna lessened.
"Jenna I'm sorry." I said.
"No it wasn't your fault but I should've stayed away from him in the first place. Considering he was your boyfriend. But sometimes things workout for the better you would've never gotten with Eli right?" She exclaimed with a bubbly expression but her expression changed when she heard me sobbing she looked concerned.
"Aaaaaaaaa" I sobbed .
"Clare…Clare what happened? Is it Eli?" I nodded. "Tell me what happened." I decided to let my guard down I didn't want to fight with Jenna anymore.
"He did.. and I said… and he said… and I did." I started to babble. Jenna shook me.
"I tried to wait until he was ready, but I think he was never going to be ready. He has been ignoring me and I bumped into him today and then confronted him. He said he wasn't ready and he didn't think I was good enough." I said sadly while sniffling.
"Oh Clare." She said as she tried to hug me. But I didn't want the comfort she held my wrists while I tried to struggle. I gave in and she enveloped me in big hug. She waited until I was out of tears.
"It's okay he probably didn't mean it." She said as she let me go.
"I'd like to believe that Jenna." I said.
"You should, but he probably doesn't deserve you." She said sweetly.
"Nor does K.C deserve you." I said kindly with a wide smile.
" I should go and Clare I'm sorry for what I did to you." She apologized. I was shocked.
"No Jenna it's fine. But I hope we could get past that and become best friends again, please." I pleaded.
"I would love that." She held both my hands in hers. Then she hugged me and I hugged back. It might be hard to believe but I missed her.
"Do you want me to walk you home?" I asked
"No thanks my brother is picking me up. See you in school?" She asked.
"Yeah." I smiled .
I was walking all the way to my house until two more houses down I could hear my parents scream. I sighed. Why Me? I unlocked and closed the door silently and listened to their screaming.
"Why are you acting like this David!" my mom yelled.
"Why am I acting like this! I wouldn't be acting like this if you weren't bothering me the way you do!" He replied.
"Me! Oh no! Don't turn this around on me. You're the one who has turned your back on this family!" She yelled back.
"No I haven't! You know I have been working extra hours in the office Christine!" My dad replied.
"Right 'Extra Hours' who is she David? Is she that younger women I met at that meeting at your job!" She yelled.
"She doesn't bother me as much as you do!" He screamed. My mother gasped. And I heard a slap. I sneaked a peek, my father clutched his cheek. He turned to face my mother his face was red. He grabbed my mother's wrists and violently shook her. I knew what was coming next.
"STOP IT! JUST STOP IT! I can't take this anymore!" I yelled then ran upstairs.
"Clare!" My mother yelled as she chased after me. I slammed the door and she came in anyway.
"Clare, I'm sorry you had to see that its just I need to tell you something honey." she said. This can't be good.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Me and your father are getting a divorce and we need to move." She said hoarsely. Before I knew it my world came crashing down. Stop it. Just stop it.
So? I know this chapter isn't that exciting but hey. But please review. :)
