Two weeks have passed since junior prom and I thought everything was going well until:
"What are you doing here?" I asked with pure hatred.
"Hey babe"
"Don't babe me, get the hell out of my house!"
2 hours earlier....
Kayla, Carter, Andrew and I decided that we were all going to go to the racetrack and go go-carting.
"I am so going to beat you!" I say to Drew.
"Oh you are so on" he replies.
We got on the track and the signal that we could go went off. I stepped on the gas pedal and went zooming off. Drew was behind me. We were neck and neck. I won by a centimeter.
I got out of the go cart and did a happy dance.
" I won, I won, I won" I said still doing my happy dance.
"Yeah yeah you won this one, let's go again and this time it will be me doing the happy dance " he said and I laughed.
"Your on my 'Great Protector'".
So we went around again and I won. We decided enough was enough so we met back up with Carter and Kayla. We all ate dinner and decided to go home
This time Drew drove me and Kayla home. We opened the door and I was shocked to see the devil himself talking to aunt Mary.
I feel tears about to escape but I will not cry over him. Not now. Not again. Not ever.
"What are you doing here?" I asked with pure hatred.
"Hey babe"
"Don't babe me, get the hell out of my house!"
"Claire is this him" Kayla asked and I nodded
"Is this who? Who is him Claire?" Andrew says
"Oh my girl Claire here didn't tell you? She's my girlfriend" Chase said
"Ex- girlfriend. Enfesis on the Ex. What the hell are you doing here! I never want to see your face again after what you did to me. To Aria. I told you that I never wanted to see you again and I meant it".
"I thought I had the right o see my girl. You moved away without a reason, so I asked Brandon where you went and he told me".
Damn you Brandon!
"Get out of here and never come back! I don't want you here and clearly Claire doesn't either" Kayla said.
"But girls I don't see the problem here" aunt Mary said.
"Aunt Mary, trust me on this"
"Okay. I'm sorry chase but I am gonna have to ask you to leave. You are not wanted here" Mary says.
"This isn't over" he says with hurt in his eyes. He shut the door and I just broke down.
"How could he be here? How could he be back? He can't be back!" I say with tears falling down my face like Niagra falls.
"Umm what's going on?" Drew and Aunt Mary say in unison.
"You guys might want to sit down and Kayla I didn't tell you the full story" they all sit down and I begin my story.
"Okay, as some of you know his name is chase. Back home we had a thing for eachother. But what came with Chase, came trouble. I should have listened to my best friends Aria and Brandon, they tried to tell me he was bad news but stupid me was in love. One day, chase came to my house when nobody was home drunk. He started yelling at me and saying that I cheated on him with Brandon which I didn't and we argued. And then he- he- he hit me multiple times. He beat me. One time he beat me so bad that I was in the hospital with 2 broken ribs. My best friend Aria tried to get me away from him until that one night...
She shouldn't have been there. It was supposed to be me- I say breaking down.
"Claire what was meant to be you?" Kayla says.
"That one night, she wasn't supposed to be with me. He came to the park with a gun. He was drunk once again. He threatened to kill me. He pointed it at me and pulled the trigger, but Aria stepped in front of me. He shot her and I ran behind a tree. I saw him beat her senseless until he decided to leave. I saw him drive off and then I ran over to her. I felt horrible I saw her just laying there lifeless. He killed her and it was all my fault. It should have been me-
"Claire no, she was a hero. Her legacy will always live on for what she did for you" Mary said.
"Let me finish. When it was her funeral. I gave her eulogy. She was perfect. She had the most amazing smile and hair and she just lit up the room. She didn't deserve any of this. She was only 16, she didn't deserve to die. Yes she was a hero but it was all my fault. I should have listened to her. If I did then maybe she would be here today smiling and laughing with us. That was the day Brandon and my dad came up with the plan for me to leave and stay here. They figured that if I was away and he thought I was dead then he wouldn't come after me. That day I went to the cops and told them everything. Chase got sent to jail for manslaughter and assault. I guess got out and he figured out that I wasn't dead and he came after me. Stupid Brandon".
"Maybe there is a reason he told Chase" Kayla said.
"Kayla now is not the time" aunt Mary said.
I looked over at Drew and he looks so mad.
"I am gonna kill him" Drew said with pure hatred.
"No Drew please. We have to wait for him to make a move to do something so we can talk to the cops. We can get a restraining order but we all know that's not going to do anything" I said
"From now on, you will not go out of the house alone. You will have to take someone with you everywhere you go" aunt Mary said.
"Agreed" Drew and Kayla said in unison.
"Alright let's come up with a plan" I said as we talked over ideas.
