The next morning, Claire woke up and got out of bed and got ready for school. She rushes downstairs and went into the kitchen where she found her mother, father, and her brother Chris who is eating a bowl of cereal.
She sat from across him and pours herself a bowl of cereal herself.
"Do you mind eating somewhere else?" He mumbled under his breath. Claire didn't say anything. She knew why he had told her that. It was because of what happen last night.
"Chris. Don't talk to your sister like that. And let your friend know that I don't want him near my daughter."
"But dad!" Chris bang on the table and looks at his father who was reading the newspaper. "Piers didn't do that! How many times am I going to tell you that Piers and I were hanging out all night together? How in the world did he even hit Claire if he was looking for her?! Steve's the one who did it! It's obvious! Besides, Piers wouldn't hurt anyone."
"Have you forgotten what he did to his little sister Rose?" Claire told Chris crossing her arms. "You-ugh!" Chris pushes his bowl of cereal on the floor. "How can you be so selfish Claire? How?! The boy has done so much for your ass and what do you do? You throw it all at his face and pretend that you don't know even know him! Piers might go to jail because of your shitty lie."
"It wasn't a lie!" Claire yelled.
"Oh really? Since you're spilling the beans about Piers then why I don't spill the beans about you. Because your ass is a bitch! That's what you are!"
Claire scoffs, "No I am not!" she tries to hold in her tears.
Their parent tries to calm Chris down. "Don't touch me!" He told his father who was trying to hold him back. "I'm going to leave now. But…I'm going to tell you this mom and dad. Piers and Claire were pretending to have a fake relationship. In order to get her ex-boyfriend Steve back. She got him back and well he's abusing her. End of fucking story."
Chris picks up his school bag from off the floor and leaves the school going off to school. When he left the house, he didn't bother locking the door. He just slammed it letting his family know that he was highly pissed off.
Claire pushes her bowl of cereal away from her and gets up from her seat. "I-I have to go."
"Claire?" Her father asks. She turns around and looks at him. "Yes?"
"Is that true?"
"Thanks Helena for picking getting me out of jail. Let me tell you, spending the night at the police station lock up isn't pretty."
Helena laughs while they both head towards her car. "What? Did the guys in there try to rape you?"
"No shit. There was even this one guy in there who dressed up as a girl!"
"Why?"
"I didn't want to ask him why…"
She laughs again but only this time harder. "Piers Nivans you are something else." She said driving down the streets. "Well, do you like my outfit?" He asks her. "They've made you wear that? That doesn't seem like your style." Helena frowns and Piers leans back in his chair.
"Yup. Sadly, they've told me that they've lost my clothes."
"They're probably lying. Maybe they've kept it because they want to keep it as a souvenir maybe?"
"Yeah…right?" Piers close his eyes and tries to sleep. "Are you trying to sleep?" "No. I'm trying to pretend that I'm dead." They both laugh. "Well that's cute and sad to hear." She told him while focusing on the wheel.
The car was silent and Piers phone starts to buzz. He takes his phone out from out of his pocket and sees he has an unknown text message. "Who is that?" Helena asks. "I don't know. It's an unknown text message" Piers unlocks his phone and reads the text message.
Unknown: How was jail steak boy? I hope you had fun in there. By the way, I'm sorry for accusing you of hitting Claire. It's just that she got me so angry that I panic and hit her hard.
"Great." Piers said putting his phone back into his pocket. "Who was that?" "It's Steve. I know it is…he's telling me why he hit Claire."
Helena sighs and she parks the car at the school's parking lot. She turns to face Piers and tells him, "Why do you like her so much?"
"Excuse me?"
"Sorry. Let me rephrase that. Why are you still fighting for Claire? Like, why are you so concern and worried about her? It's clearly she doesn't gives a damn about you! I mean, she's selfish towards you. How can you love someone who is like that?"
"I don't know really Helena…" Piers shook his head and stares at his watch. "I actually ask myself that all the time actually. It's just that…there's something about Claire that I love. I feel like she's the only person who gets me and-"
Before Piers can finish his sentence, Helena cuts him off and kisses him.
Piers didn't kiss her back. He was too busy trying to think why is she kissing him and why he loves Claire so much? Helena notices that Piers wasn't kissing her back so she then felt stupid. Pulling away from him, they both just sit there in the car staring at one another.
Helena broke off contact and looks away. "Sorry…I kind of got jealous?"
"I-I can see that." Piers said looking at a different direction. "I-I think I'm going to head to class. Thanks for everything Helena." Piers got out of the car and rushes to the football field to talk to Chris.
"Hey super girl." He sat across from her on the grass outside of the school and Sherry didn't pay him any attention to his appearance. "You're ignoring me Super girl?" "No. I'm just finishing up doing my homework before I end up getting a call home later on. "
Jake smirks and then snatches Sherry's pencil out of her hand. "Hey! Give that back!" She told him looking at him. "I will if you talk to me." "Aren't we talking now?" "Well yes. But…about what you said yesterday…"
Sherry gulps and starts to put all of her homework away inside of a yellow folder. "What about yesterday?" She asks curiously.
Jake rubs the back of his head and says, "About the lonely part okay? I sometimes get lonely and I was wondering if…we can be friends."
Sherry burst into laughter and Jake looks away from her wishing he hadn't say that. "What's so funny?"
"I'm not laughing at you Jake! I'm laughing how I never thought the day that you Jake Muller will ask to be my friend. Besides, I think we will be great friends. After all, we do have some things in common."
"Like what super girl? Please don't say French fries."
She giggled. "No. Our parents. Both of our parents are always occupied with their work and we both have the highest grades in the school."
"Wow. We do have a lot in common." "Yup." "So uh…let me help you with your homework." "Okay." She took her homework folder out of her school bag and handing it to Jake. Their fingers touch. First they froze looking into each other's eyes but then Sherry quickly took her hand away from his and went back to doing her homework while blushing.
"Glad you've made it Piers!"
"I know captain. Thanks to Helena who drove me over here!"
Chris put his hand on Piers shoulder and tells him, "Dude. I want you to have nothing to do with Claire."
"W-what? But Chris!"
"Look Piers. I'm sorry. I know you love her and you care about her and all but…she's not thinking the same way like you're thinking the way of her. She's selfish Piers. As in other words, a bitch. I just don't want your life to get ruin by trying to make her happy and protect her. Claire is going to be fine. I promise"
Piers felt like a million knifes has stab him in his gut. He hated that his best friend called his sister a bitch even though he had call her that earlier this week. He loves Claire and will always will. "You're right Chris." He lied. "Anyways, Helena seems to like me and so I think I'm going to chill with her a little while. Alright, let's go practice the football game that's tonight!"
He runs towards Finn who was his team member and shouted, "Hey Finn! I'm open!"
Chris smiles at Piers and then says to himself, "Everything is going to be just fine."
Suddenly, his phone buzzes and he takes it out from his pocket. Unknown text message? Hmm…must be Jill? He opens the text message:
Unknown: You better enjoy the last few hours on your team because you're not going to be on it for too long…
Chris stares at the text message without responding and looks up at Piers who was throwing the football back and forth to Finn.
Hey guys! Sorry for the late update! Usually I would update two chapters per day but I'm not so sure that I'm going to be doing that :P My mom thinks that I have been using electronics way too much now so I'm only going to use my laptop only once per day or don't even use it at all sometimes!
But don't worry! I'm NOT going to stop posting new chapters. I WILL keep posting new chapters no matter what happens!
By the way, if you have Xbox live, inbox me your gamer tag so we can play some games together maybe? Thank you 3
