Toxic Relationships

Bad Past (Flashback)

⭕The italicized word is the past

...Happy Reading ...

Clara looked out the cafe window. After a few minutes of arguing with Shawn, they agreed to have dinner at a cafe not far from Clara's house. Clara looked at the man in front of her, the man seemed calm by eating his favorite steak, while he was so fond of eating dinner in front of him.

“Eat! You're not hungry?”

*Clara looked at Shawn and said a word Clara began to eat the dish in front of him. Actually he clean hard not to eat dinner with Shawn, but Shawn so forced him under the pretext of not eating with him for a long time. But haven't they been too familiar since Shawn had a relationship with Rose? Rose was so jealous of him, that he didn't hang out with Shawn very often. But I don't know why today Shawn is different.

“How was your relationship with Rose?” Clara glanced at Shawn, the man remained calm. As if everything was okay.

“Rosalie? We are fine.” Clara took a deep breath. Yeah, sure is fine. What are you expecting Clara?

“You know Jack is so good to you Chal?”

“Can not discuss the man? I'm tired.”

This is why he refused to eat dinner with Shawn. He knew he knew Jack so well. But Mary was the same, the girl gave so many good memories with her. And he didn't want to destroy those memories.

Shawn looked at Clara. The girl just looked at the steik in front of her flat, as if something was stuck in her mind. And Shawn was so curious about what the girl was thinking.

“If you hesitate to accept Jack because of Mary, I can-“

“I'm done! I'll go home by myself.”

Clara looked coldly at Shawn. Next the girl stood up and took her briefcase, but quickly Shawn held her arm and looked at the girl inside.

“Chal I just want your relationship with Jack-“

“I've never interrupted your relationship with Rose. So don't interfere with my relationship this time.”

Shawn gasped when Clara spoke coldly to him. Looking at Shawn who was off guard, Clara quickly threw out Shawn's hand that grasped his arm. Clara started walking towards her house which is only about 300 meters from the cafe.

Clara took a deep breath. He still remembers a year ago when Rose gave him a warning not to get close to Shawn. And how Shawn told him that he loved Rosalie so much. His heart was shattered instantly, his hope waiting for Shawn for five years as if it were wiped out. The friendship he had forged also seemed to be shattered simultaneously. And he chose to step down until six months later Shawn invited him to dinner together and introduced him to Jack.

He is not angry, and he does not dispute it all and foolishly complies with Shawn's desire to get closer to Jack. But does the man really not know how he feels? Is that guy pretending to be stupid? And now it's like he's forcing her to be with Jack. Didn't the man know he rejected some men for wishing with him? Shawn's stupid, he's so stupid.

Clara wiped her tears. Again and again he cried over Shawn. But his tears seemed to rise again when he saw a hundred meters from where he stood there was his mother and father surrounded by a man of sinister and towering height.

Clara quickly ran up to them. The closer he heard his mother's cries and the mockery of some of the men. Clara now immediately hugged her mother who was sitting on the front floor of her house.

“What's up Mom? What's up?”

“Heii, little girl!”

Clara gasped as she saw one of the tall men approaching her. Clara looked at him in fear. He knows he knows this guy.

“Where is your debt?! We have been patient for two years!”

Her screams made Clara close her eyes. Clara is trapped, she can't find a way anymore. He has a mother and father to protect. Clara swallowed her saliva, she already had no other way.

“Give me some more time, I beg you! Give me more time.”

Clara was begging in front of the man. His salary was just enough to eat them daily, and all his debts were used for his father's care. Even his father has not fully recovered because it has been one year lately his father did not control to the hospital because of limited costs.

“Do you think those two years are a minute? If only you were a man I would break your hand as collateral!”

Clara flinched, tears already flowing. But he did not give up, with Clara crawling began to walk towards the man's feet. He is willing, he is willing to do anything as long as both his parents are fine.

“I beg Sir! Please give me more time!”

Buk up!

The mother began to scream as the man kicked Clara, sending her tiny body crashing a few feet. Clara felt her life bleed. But Clara did not give up, she crawled back to the man's feet. And for the second time the man again kicked Clara. And it happens over and over again. Clara's mother can now only cry wailing to see the state of the princess. Her husband, who was in a stroke, also shed tears.

“Do you think with you like this can attract my sympathies?!”

Clara, who was almost all over her face, did not care anymore. He still did the same thing even though the kick on his face still he received. While the man looked at Clara in annoyance, this girl was really so stubborn.

The man bowed and looked at Clara grinning. The man's hand now pulled the gun out of his pocket and pointed it at Clara. Clara flinched, the man began to bring his lips closer to Clara's ear and whispered softly.

“I don't need your tears. Quickly pay your debt or you will regret.”

Clara quickly gripped the gun and pointed it at her face. He doesn't care anymore. If it could save both of his parents, he was ready.

“Kill me! Kill me!”

“I'm not messing around!”

“Kill me!”

Dor's!

Clara gasped when the gunshot was heard. Clara opened her eyes and felt someone fall in front of her. One shot hit the father's left chest. His father tried to stop him. Clara did not believe what she saw. Wasn't the father diagnosed as totally paralyzed? But her father moved to block her?

“Yah, A... Dad?”

Clara was unable to make her voice. All passed so quickly, he really did not understand what was happening in front of him. Clara could see now her father whimpering and looked at her full of sadness. Clara looked at her mother, her mother even fainted. Clara quickly hugged the father and began to cry roaring.

...****************...

Clara blinked her eyes, she could see the ceiling of her room in the darkness. He felt his head so dizzy, and felt his eyes wet. Clara quickly rubbed her eyes, she cried. He was crying in his sleep. The events of six years ago that he never forgot in his life. Why did he dream that again after so much effort he forgot about it.

“You're up?”

Clara gasped when the male baritone voice entered her ears. He looked at Jack who was sleeping next to him. The smell of alcohol gushed from his body. Oh, my God, he's drunk. Clara tried to remember. Was he drunk with Jack? He doesn't remember.

“Can't you just shut up and follow my orders Chal?”

Clara was silent, she did not understand Jack's words. But Clara suddenly flinched. The last thing he remembered was when he, Tiffany and Dean ordered alcohol at one of the cafes. And after that he remembered nothing. Did Jack take her home?

“Jack, I'm not-“

Before Clara continues her sentence, Jack quickly pulls Clara's body, making the girl now closer to him. Jack looked at Clara's face quite deeply. In the darkness Clara's face was so bright because of the white skin she had. Clara is so beautiful, so beautiful to her.

“I love you Clara, cannot you understand my words?”

Clara just fell silent, she did not understand where Jack was talking. Is Jack back mad at him because he's having dinner with Dean? Until when, until when can Jack's over possessive nature change?

“Jack, Dean only.. Ah!”

Clara is now moaning as Jack's left hand squeezes her thigh. Jack hugged her and sniffed her neck. Jack smiled widely, he really liked the smell of lavender, the smell of Clara as if to be an opium for him.

“Jack you hurt me.”

Clara is now getting uncomfortable as Jack squeezes her thigh harder. While Jack's right hand hugged him tightly, bringing their bodies closer together.

“I think tonight will be so fun Chal.”

Clara swallowed her saliva. He felt Jack's lust was so turbulent lately, and he didn't know what was going on with the man. Jack almost never did this the last three years, but this final Jack seemed to always want more than a kiss.

“I'll make you satisfied tonight, Chal.”
