Clara's POV

Oh my God.

I knew it would happen eventually but I never thought it would hurt this much.

"Uhmm...I have to go."

"Wait, Clara. Please let me explain." Luke said to me as he blocked the door.

I wanted to cry.

I wanted to bawl right there on the floor.

I wanted to wreck everything on sight and let my tears cloud my vision.

"What's there to explain, Luke? It's as clear as crystal and I'm not stupid." I shouted. God, I was pissed.

"You're being childish. Come on." he kept calm, surprisingly.

I laughed bitterly, "Funny you should mention that since you just played right into Florence's game!"

Luke narrowed his eyes at me. "What? What are you talking about?"

"Florence." I said. "My stepsister whose tonsils were filled with your tongue just a moment ago."

"It is not what you think. She kissed me!"

"You're a guy! You could've pushed her away or something! Especially since you know you're supposed to be dating me!"

"We're not really dating, Clara!"

That shut me up.

I couldn't believe it.

I mean, what was I thinking?

Did I actually think Luke loves me?

Yes.

Was I happy about our relationship even if it was fake?

Eventually, yes.

And these thoughts are exactly why I'm in this predicament!

It was all an act. It's clear to me now.

I shook my head and sighed.

"Florence is here to destroy our relationship so she can take you for herself. She was going to post an old picture of me and my ex together if I don't let her stay." I explained. "Honestly, I don't give a fuck about the picture. I just wanted to protect you."

Chuckling out of bitterness, I watched him remain rigid as I continued talking. "Florence probably posted the picture by now and it doesn't matter if it's old or not, the press would post what they want to. I can almost see the article headline about me cheating on you."

"Clara, I ju--"

"There's no use for it now, Luke." I said. "I think now would be a good time to have the break-up on our fake relationship."

So I stretched out my hand towards Luke for a hand shake.

He stared at it and then glanced at me. I thought it was my imagination but I think I saw pain in his eyes. And I was afraid I'm going to start tearing up.

Don't you dare cry, I told myself.

I stretched my hand towards Luke once more and gasped as I realized a tear escaped my right eye.

"Clara" Luke whispered. I shook my head at him.

"We both know this was going to happen eventually." I sobbed.

Luke winced and sagged at my words. I know he knows I'm right. This shouldn't surprise me. But I was even more surprised when Luke hesitated to agree with me. I thought he'd be okay about us breaking up. Even if it was a fake relationship of course.

And am I a terrible person when I was kind of happy when he hesitated?

But that tiny ray of hope quickly vanished when Luke held out his hand and shook mine.

"Yeah." he whispered. "You're right."

And that was it.

We're over.
