chapter 11

THIRD PERSON'S POV.

Clara was on her knees crying her heart out as the rain poured. She was gripping hard onto her bags. The rejection from someone she hated hit deeper in her. She had no one to console her. Someone approached her and held an umbrella for her, to prevent the rain from falling.

She slowly raised her head and saw Ethan. She burst into tears the more when their eyes met. She jumped up and hugged him regardless of her wet clothes, she cried hard on his shoulder while Ethan's hand was around the corner.

He blinked and swallowed hard. He had never been in this situation before. Why was she crying? He slowly brought his hand to her back and patted her.

"It's fine. You don't have to cry anymore. I'm here." He assured her.

Clara held onto him tight as if he was going to disappear.

"Please, let me…I want to stay in your arms for a while."
