Claire couldn't believe that everyone she had trusted, everyone she had considered family, had betrayed her. The pain of their deception cut deep, leaving her feeling vulnerable and lost.

Her mind replayed the events of the day, like a broken record stuck on repeat. She couldn't comprehend how things had spiralled so out of control. The people she had confided in, the ones she had shared her secrets with, had turned against her.

Tears pricked at the corners of her eyes as she struggled to come to terms with the reality of her situation. She felt like she was drowning in a sea of uncertainty, with no lifeline in sight. The thought of facing the world alone, without the support of her so-called friends, was daunting.
