Claire is unpredictable and I am getting a bodyguard now ...

I was starting to get worried because conversation with Dr Xavier was not ending ...

" So you married Xavier ...?" , dad .

" Not yet but I could get married if you will get divorced ..." , Dr Xavier .

" Too bad , never gonna happen ..." Dad retorted ...

They are even worse than teenage boys at my school who fought over Sasha ? Sasha was this girl who had an affair with almost everyone at school . She was worse than my dear friend Claire .And most importantly she was Lucas's elder sister .

" Ok that is enough , Rishaan . Remember you are busy , you have a meeting to attend ...Just go already .You are late ..." , Mom with strained smile .

" Yeah , I have to go but you are coming with me ..." , dad commanded .

" And who said that ? ", my mother spat with a terrifying glare . And soon as she did that dad instantly turned from black hound to whining puppy .

" Darling remember you have a meeting to attend ..." , dad said innocently.

" Yeah ..See you Xavier . And honey take care . I will be back in the afternoon ..." , mom told me .

" Yeah , goodbye ..." , Dr Xavier .

And that was the end of epic showdown .

My mother must be starting her career as a painter once again . Even though she had a medical degree . She chose painting as her profession . And she paints pretty well .

I am bored . I want to something . Let us watch something on TV . I don't even remember when waa the last time I watched it last time .

Dramas , soap operas , movies ...I hate all this crap . Wait a minute . I know what to watch . I am going to watch news ...Brilliant ...Now I will have a great time .

Newspaper anchor is talking about various things happening around us . Its nothing special ...Just the usual : increasing employment , crime rate , rapes , murders. Nothing out of ordinary. But just then debate show started . And the topic of debate was pretty interesting . Is state better off without religion or people should be free to believe whatever they want ?

Well , if you ask me it was pretty disturbing and interesting topic at the same time . If we have a religion then it will give politicians the reason to play religion card in the politics but if we don't then it will mean suppression of people from their human rights ...Just as I was thinking about these random things someone decided to ruin my peace who else could it be other than Claire .

" What are you doing here , pumpkin princess...? " I said .🎃🎃🎃

" That is it ! That is what I was missing . I thought I was going crazy . I hate that you are not in the school or anywhere else . I seriously miss the meanest person in my life . That 's it ,I am sick . Do you think I am masochist ? " , she rambled .

" I don't know about that but I know that you need to go to mental asylum ..." , I said .

" You are the only person who doesn't judge me or say mean things to me behind my back ...." She said while sitting on the couch and making herself comfortable .

" You know what happened ? ...", Claire .

" No and I don't want to know ..." , I said .

" I heard Sasha and Tasha talking with other girls ...I heard them accidently while I was walking on the corridor . They were talking about how much..." , then she started crying .

" I know they didn't know I was there they said so much mean things about me . ( sniffling) You know it hurt a lot because what they were saying was right ...I..." , then she started crying again this time a bit louder.

Well, I am not good at consoling . I don't know how to handle a crying girl in front of me ....What should I do ? Talk to her . No , its a bad idea and I know it. I can make situation more worse than it originally was . So , I am gonna be my mean self .

" If you know what they said is right then why don't you try to change yourself . Maybe by stopping to bully submissive kids in the school ..." , I said.

" Its not easy and I don't want to do something just because other people are telling me to do so..." , she said in cracked voice .

" Then do it for yourself . You know that you are wrong and you need to fix yourself . Then you should try to be a better person for yourself . For your own conscious . Because when you do wrong things your self hurts ....And I know that it consumes you into darkness. So fix yourself as soon as possible . To lighten your conscious and to mend your own character..." I said whatever came to my mind and Claire just listened quietly .

" You know you are right . But I know it won't be that easy to fix myself . So I will need your help. M , I trust you a lot . Hence you have to promise me something . Promise me that if I try to do something that can ruin my life forever . You will do everything in your power to stop me ..." , she said in a an extremely serious tone which I heard for the first time ....

" I don't know Claire its a lot . I mean ...How can I ...even do that ? " , I said .

Yeah , I mean I don't even how to cook my food , go to shop for myself , I don't even know how to press my clothes properly then how can I do something like that ...

" Please Claire ...You are my only hope . Please ..." , she pleaded .

" Alright ..." , I said helplessly .

What ? What is wrong with me ?? Why did I promise something like that ...?

Before I could say anything .She interrupted my reverie .

" Ow ...I have to leave quickly or my mom is going to roast me alive . And before I forget to ask .How are you ? I mean ..." , she rambled .

" Yeah , I am better now .And you can go . I don't mind ...." , I said .

" Ok , thanks and get well soon ..." , she said while dashing out of the room with her curly blonde hair dancing crazily . Ok what just happen . That girl is so unpredictable . Why am I even friends with her ? Like an earthquake ...

IN THE MORNING :

Thanks to Claire I was unable to sleep whole night. There was a reason why I loathed that girl . She is a butterfly in the hurricane ....

Mom didn't visit me last night . I think she must have been busy ...

" Good morning dear ..." , my mother .

Ha ,speak of the devil .

" How are you feeling sweety ? " , she asked .

" Better ....better than before even though I still feel feel tired and my legs hurt sometimes ..." , I said .

" Should we go for a walk . Just the two of us ..." ,she said .

" Is it a date ...My darling ..." I teased .

" Yeah it is ...my dear. A date in the hospital garden ...." she said .

We are walking in the garden . Which is wierd because I don't think normal hospitals have such gardens . But I again forgot that I am a billionaire's daughter . Even though it doesn't feel like it most of the time .

" There are less people around here . Yeah ,because less people can afford to be here ..." , she said .

" Yeah , life is unfair ..." , I said .

" It sure is ..." , my mother said .

" Oh what happened to the project . Did you get it ? " , I asked as I struggled to walk with a crutch .

" Yeah and sweety I have decided to hire a bodyguard for you ..." , she said .

" What ? I don't even have a car or phone but now I have a bodyguard ..." , I said .

" Yeah , I know but I am worried for you . And you will travel by a car for now and I also bought you an iphone ..." , she said .

" Mom ...What is wrong with ? I mean ...Look mom accidents can happen .You don't have to be overprotective over me ...I am fine .." , I said.

" I know dear but still ...I don't want to loose you ....Look dear , I think we don't care about you like we should . You are even working in a garage with the minimum wage ..." , she said .

" But I love living like that ....I am totally fine mom..." , I said .

" Do you love me ? " , mom.

" Yeah but ..." ,I said .

" Good then promise that you will do as I will say..." , she said in a serious tone .

Great now she is emotionally blackmailing me .
