that getting away from everything for a while was the way to go, even if she did miss her family.
Her mother agreed to pay for tuition for her last term, but she left nothing left over for her to live on. She had to find a job in the small coastal town. All she could get was a waitressing job at a local 24 hour diner off the interstate. It wasn’t exactly how she had imagined her last bit of college to be, but Clark knew she had no choice but to go along with it. It was better than the looks and avoidance, everyone in the house talking about her behind her back.
Sighing to herself, she looked up at the clock. She had another 3 rd shift and Clarke was supposed to be working, but she was studying instead. There was always a dead time between three thirty and five thirty where there usually wasn’t a soul in there. While most everyone else used the time to do side work and get ready for the next shift, Clarke tried to get as much studying in as she could.
“Clarke you’ve got a phone call. Take it in behind the counter.”
Clarke looked up surprised. There was no one to call her. Senna was sleeping and no one else that she knew around there would call her at work, it would be on her cellphone. She was not expecting the voice that she heard on the other end.
“Hey Sis. How have you been?”
It had been weeks since she had talked to Jared. That hadn’t actually spoken a word to each other since their kiss that changed everything. Clarke wondered how he got her number. He had called over and over again on her old cell phone so much that she had gotten it changed. She hadn’t told anyone from home that she was working at the restaurant. “Alright. How did you get this number?”
“Right to the point. That is something that I always liked about you. Before everything changed.”
“I didn’t change anything Jared, you did. What do you want?”
“Have you not learned to not ask that question yet?”
She sighed and waited for it. “Just what Jared. I can’t even go home because of you.”
“I wasn’t the only one doing the kissing, if I remember right.”
“You don’t remember right Jared. I was shocked was all. You are my brother.”
“Not by blood, as you so eloquently put it. We miss you. We want to come up and see you.”
She paused. It was not a good idea. She knew it wasn’t. “Sorry I am really busy right now.”
“Well you don’t look very busy.”
“I have school to finish and work.”
“No I mean right now. I don’t see a soul in there and you weren’t studying very hard.”
Clarke looked over at the car in the parking lot that started to look familiar. Through the large windows in front, she saw Jared waving from the front seat. “So you are here now?”
“It looks that way. I will see you in a minute.”
She watched him get out of the low lying sports car and then Brandon getting out of the other side. Her heart slammed in her chest with their sudden arrival. It had been weeks since she had seen them and she didn’t want her first time to be there, in her diner getup. Clarke sighed. There was also a lot she wanted to say to Jared, but couldn’t with Brandon there. She had no idea what the hell they were doing there all of a sudden. Any time that her stepbrothers wanted to see her, it was never good news.
There was nothing else to do but wait for them to come in. She smiled at Jared for a moment before she remembered herself. Her body remembered him pressing her against the counter and kissing her until she could think of no one else.
“Do you want something to drink?”
Jared nodded, drinking in the sight of her. “Yes please.”
Clarke turned around, weirded out by him being nice to her. It would never be normal for Jared to say please for anything. It was not in his nature, so it didn’t seem right. She brought them a couple coffees with cream. It looked like they had been driving for a while.
“So what’s up guys? What are you doing here? I obviously don’t have
