"Clem..."

Fuuuuck.

Why!?

Why why why!?

She keeps her back turned to the yellow haired alpha and stares at the bench instead trying to muffle out her hiccups and quiet sobs.

It doesn't work.

Soushi is at her side in seconds and is trying to look at her,"Clem? Look at me..." He reaches his hand towards the hair keeping her face from view.

She holds up her hand and stops his inches away from her face,"Don't soush..."

"What but-"

"Just don't ok..." She mutters wiping at her eyes,"I don't need your pity..."

Soushi grumbles and glares at her,"I'm not fucking pitying you Clem I'm just checking on you-"

"Why are you worrying about me when your girlfriend is inside-"

"Because you're fucking crying Clem!" Soushi yells obviously frustrated that she won't let him check her.

"Why do you care!" Clementine yells at him frustrated that he cares so much now that her pain is so obviously in his face.

What about when she was hurting and she was trying her best to hide it.

He should've been able to tell because he knows her so well.

Or so he says.

"Because you're my friend!" Soushi yanks on her dress.

Clementine snarls and he lets go,"What the fuck Clem! Why are you being such an asshole to me lately!"

"I don't know!"

"You won't answer my texts! You won't come over to my house! You won't even call me and you've been avoiding me every chance you get!" He slams his palm on the bench,"What's wrong!?"

"Nothing!"

"Yes there is and you know it!"

"Because of what I said last year after the dance!" She yells and looks at him glaring.

Soushi looks dumbfounded,"What?"

She can't be mad at him.

"I get..." Clementine sighs and looks away from him,"Sometimes I get stuck on that..."

Soushi stares at her with a wide eyed almost scared look.

He swallows hard and gives a confused thinking look at the ground.

Clementine sighs and stands,"Its fine I know you don't feel like that about me and that's ok... I'll be fine..."

"No wait-!" Soushi grabs her wrist before shes out of his reach.

She looks at him confused.

"I- I'm-" he chokes on his words struggling for them,"Why didn't you say something?"

She shrugs,"I knew you didn't care so whys it important?"

"What-! I-!" He looks at her,"You still could've told me I didn't know you still felt like- fuck Clem I didn't... And you thought I didn't-" he swallows hard again and he opens his mouth to say something else when the Mic echoes out in the gym.

"Everyone the time is 9:45! Time to get out of here!"

Everyone cheers as one last song is played.

And as Soushi's hand slips from her wrist as he listens to the announcement and his eyes are directed over his shoulder she turns and runs to the gate and climbs it getting away as fast as she can.

She can't let him scent her.

Or hug her.

And say he's gonna miss her until they meet again.

So she runs out to the parking lot and over to the black car.

She opens the door and gets in hastily.

"Oh- Clementine what happened!" Maria turns in the drivers seat and stares at her with concern.

David does the same after Maria's reaction.

"Clem?" He looks at her wanting an answer.

Clementine wipes her eyes again knowing that her tears are still streaming.

"Can I... Talk about it later..." She glances at them and sinks into the seat never feeling so protected in her life.

She loves it.

And right now she just wants to enjoy it.

Maria and David silently consult one another then they both nod and turn back around in their seats.

"I'll text Dani..." David mutters and pulls his phone out to text him.

Ok.

So when she gets home she is going up stairs.

And she is going to lay there and whine like a pup in her nest until she can't possibly whine anymore.

Being in love.

Is so much fun.

But it's not when you can't have that person love you back.
