*Play the song.*

Clara

It has been a week of complete resting, series watching and idolness. Well besides visting Ava in the hospital and spending time with my parents - that has been great.

I am going to see Ava today at the hospital - she is leaving for California today, with her parents. I still hate the idea of not being there for her. After visting Ava, I am going back to work at my amazing job. I love the atomposhere at the libarary, it's so peaceful and at times I get time to work on my story.

I got to the hospital. As I walk through the familer hallways, random people passing by me and the medicinal smell lingering in the air, I got lost in my thoughts (head in the clouds). Thinking of a particular person and flashing memories. Not looking where I was heading, I bump into someone. "I am so sorry," I said polietly.

"Look where you are going," he said croakly - busy on his phone.

"Sorry," I told him.

"For gods sake ..." he said and looks at me.

I froze as his blue eyes starred at my naked soul. My eyes widened, my face surprised and slightly pleased.

"Clara," he said my name with a obscure smile.

"Luca," I say his name - a smile spreading across my face. Eyes locked on like magnets, I couldn't tell what he was thinking. All I could see is a pair of blue cerulean mysteries. "Uh... thank you for the flowers and the note."

"You are welcome," he replied. Our eyes did the talking, as my mind curiously silently asked questions.

"Luca lets go!" A tall beautiful brunette yelled as she walked towards him. I walked away from him, I couldn't let him see my desperate — curious eyes.
He isn't interested in me, he is a freaking billionare he can have who ever he wants. Why would he want me ?

I walked in Avas room. She's asleep. I sat on the chair besides her and thought of the encounter with Luca. I can't stop thinking about him. Why? I don't want to call it love, it's just a human touch...

Luca is my first kiss, but he doesn't know that. And all I have been thinking about lately is the kiss we shared, unplanned or planned. It was my first time...  I was known as the prude in high school. While everyones goals was to break their virginity mine was to smiply finish highschool with good grades.

Ava is still sleeping. I decided to go to the cafeteria to get a snack.

"Clara," a very familiar voice calls out my name. I turn around and there he is. Blue eyes and all.

"Stalker much," I said.

"Hah" he softly chuckled and smirked.

"Or is it just a coincidence?" I asked him.

"Call it what you want. I am just glad I can see you again," he said. Is he flirting with me? I bit my lower lip and shyed away - my hair covering my face. "You are a work of art Clara," he spoke in a low tone. I look at him and he smiles, he's voice sent shivers down my spine.

"Your girlfriend is really pretty," I commented - bringing both of us back to reality. Because it honestly felt like it was just me and him, in a room filled with people. 

"Girlfriend?" He asked confused.

"The tall brunette ..."

"Ah you mean Vanessa. I assure you she's not my girlfriend," he said. "She's my step-sister."

"Oh okay."

"She actually sent me to get her a bottle of water."

"Okay, I should get going," I told him - thinking about Ava being awake.

"Clara would you like to grab a coffee this weekend?" He asked casually. Is he asking me on a date. He is... Okay Clara breathe. It's not a big deal. Yes it is. You have never been been on an actual date. What would Ava say to me? She would obviously tell me to go for it. "An apology coffee for what happened the other day."

"I'd love that," I spoke, trying to act cool. Luca asked for my number, and he gave me his. I walked out of the cafetria and I didn't even get the snack. I even forgot why I was in there in the first place. Didn't occur to me until I was outside Ava's room door.

I get into the room, she is wide awake. "Well good morning sleeping beauty," I greeted her.

"Morning, hmm somenone is in a good mood," she said.

"What are you talking about?"

"Clara James Thompson, I am your best  friend and I know you more than you do. When you get really excited or happy you smize (smile with your eyes) and you become really perky. Now what happened?"

I can't keep anything from her, she knows me too well. I told her everything that happened earlier today, bumping into Luca and meeting him again in the cafeteria. "It's obviously fate," she said."He asked you out? And what did you say."

"I said yes, 'I'd love too',"

"Aww my Clara is all grown up. I am so proud of you,"  she said while fake crying.

"Hahah," I laughed. "I am going to miss you Ava," I told her.

"I am going to miss you more," she replied, her eyes watery.

"Face time every alternating day, down load snap chat and snap chat everything, text each other every single day and always always tag you in a funny meme," I said.

"That's the plan. Don't forget," Ava said.

"I won't," I said. I hugged her and didn't want to let go. I am going to miss her so much.

"Your book will be amazing and you are going to be a succesful writer. I just know it," she said. After talking with Ava and spending time with her. I left the hospital and went to work.

I got to work at 10 a.m. Right on time. I started working as soon as I got in. Putting the book back to their section, removing the new books and putting them on the shelf. I just love the smell of new books. Helping people find the book they want.

I finished my shift at 4:00 o'clock in the evening. I got home and rested on the couch, I took out my phone from my bag. A message from Luca. I open the message.

Luca: Hey

Me: Hi

Like a thirteen year girl waiting for her crush to text back. I too waited, I held my phone. Until sleep took over and I slept on the couch.

I woke up in the night. I checked my phone it's 9:00 o'clock. I got up took a shower and changed into my pyjamas. I took my phone and went to my bed. One message from Luca. 

Luca: I am glad you weren't looking where you were going.

Luca

"What took you so long?" Vanessa asked.

"I was talking to a friend," I replied.

"The only friend you have is Andrew. If you can't lie don't," she said. "Forget about it I don't want to know."

"What did the doctor say?" I asked.

"I am two months pregnant," she said sounding not so pleased.

"Congratulations? Who is the father?"

"That doesn't matter. I don't want this baby, it would be better if it never existed. The baby would be born in a world of murderes and greed."

"But the baby would have you, an amazing mother. Are you sure?" I told her, and held her hand.

"I am sure. I already bought the abortion pills. Thank you Luca for coming with me."

"Anything for family and don't worry I won't tell dad."

"Thank you," she said.

Vanessa hates the family business. She tries her best to keep her hands clean, but it's not easy. Our dad made sure that she killed a man on her sixteenth birthday, she shot him right in the head. 'To make her a true Salvador' he said.

Vanessa's mum died when she was five, she was brought to stay with my mum and me. I was 11 years old. My mother didn't complain, she always wanted a daughter so she took her in and raised her as if she were her own. My mum knew about the my father's affair but she held her self together for us.
