Hey guys I am back with another chapter! Thanks for the response on the other two parts ! Love you all so so much !!also have a look at Blythe's picture above...

"Alex."I whispered, I hoped with all my heart that he didn't hear what Chloe said. I knew he didn't love me and I also knew that the only thing that will ruin our friendship was my confession. It will turn our lives upside down.

When I looked around I glared at Chloe while she was giving me her 'oops' look. If something goes wrong right now she is so screwed. I turned around and faced Alec. I had to confront him but all I saw was his puzzled face. That gave me the thought that maybe, just maybe, he actually didn't hear what Chloe said.

"Clare, tell me the truth.. "
Now I was freaking out, maybe he did hear what she said. No,no, no he can't hear this, I can't lose him! I have hidden for all these years ..

" Clare " he yelled again.
" yea say " I replied
" Did you hear the rumors about me and Riley dating, I swear nothing is going on between us.. Just ignore that, rea-"
Both me and Chloe heaved a sigh of relief and burst into peals of  laughter .

This guy was really the death of me. The guy who freaks out on some shit rumor. He is such a kid.Huff

" Alec, just calm down okay. And no I haven't heard about any of these rumors. Now let's go and grab some food, I am starving. And look whos keeping whom hungry."

He engulfed me in a hug and kissed my forehead." Thank God you didn't hear them, I can't even imagine how much shit you would have thought and how upset you would have been."

I really, really loved the fact he thought so much about me. He knew the whole of me. Like every little thing my likes, my dislikes, my weakness, my fears, my strengths, me. The real me.

The day went on. After that debacle nothing really great happened. I was bored out of my wits. Ms. Linton had given us the day free. She just gave us the latest additions of the vogue, the times and other numerous fashion magazines to examine and and learn new make up hacks. I and Chloe were giving each other bored looks as the day just dragged on.

After all, the only thing I was waiting for was the day to end and I and Alex can go home and chill and have some fun with popcorn, candy and video games.

Finally, the final bell rang, signaling the end of today. I packed my bag in the speed of flash and dashed out of the door expecting to see Alex with a huge gain on his face. The smile that he always has. Already ready to take me home. But all I saw was Nick who was waiting for Chloe. A pang of jealousy hit me, again as Nick gave me a pitied look .

All of a sudden I felt lonely. I quietly walked towards Alec's car as he always dropped me home. What I saw there was beyong traumatizing.

Alex was standing with Riley. Both of them were talking with huge grins on their faces. He grins thay are reserved for the three of us and Ines for the past 3 years. The grins that actually reached his eyes. Alec was so engrossed in the conversation that he didn't even notice me coming.

Riley's hands were on his chest and he was acting so normal? Usually he would runaway from her,whats so different about this time? What was wrong with him? And as cherry on top Riley saw me and gave me her sickly sarcastic sweet smile.

Suddenly, a tiny voice in my head reminded me, " You can't keep Alex away from Riley forever. He was going to forgive her one day. "

Already annoyed with my subconsious, I stormed towards the car and took my seat in the front, and slaming the door purposely, Atleast that would make him take notice of my existence.

Maybe, that alerted him. Because he was in the car, the very next minute. And started speaking the moment he sat. " Clare it's not what it looks. Just listen to me, I have - "

I cut him off mid sentence, I didn't feel like hearing any of his justifications, all I wanted to do is go home and sleep . Alec seem to feel really bad for what had happened.
" let's keep it for some other day. It's just that don't be in a mood with me. "
And then we drove off.
I didn't want to see Alex with Riley. Never, not at least after all Riley put him through.... Never.

A reel of the worst memories of my life play in front my eyes. I see Alex locked up  in his room for days and me sitting against trying to calm to him down and stop the tears flowing from his eyes.

Riley was a part my life I never wanted to revisit.

Another cliffhanger comes you way.. Hang on to the next chapter to know what had happened between
Alexis and Riley.. I might upload the next chap today evening.
