Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 81

“Burn those who burned me!”

Chapter 81

Clara’s POV:

ลพ

Two weeks had passed since Clara moved to Springsten. Gloria’s father purchased a condo for the girls to live in while attending Osha for the next three years and today was the day they would move in.

As Gloria finished packing she let out a loud yelp as she stretched.

“Ughh! I’m so glad I’m finished packing. I knew I should have hired a packing service.”

Clara let out a light chuckle.

“That’s just lazy.”

“Hey! That’s not lazy! That’s smart!”

The girls shared a laugh as they closed up the remaining boxes in Gloria’s room.

Clara did a look around the large room to make sure nothing else was left. Satisfied, she also stretched.

“Gloria, don’t take this the wrong way but man you have a lot of shit!”

Hahahaha!!!

Gloria let out a loud laugh as she looked around her room, slight embarrassment on her

face.

“I know! When my dad moved us to Glendale so that he could complete his tenure at LexUI swear I didn’t have this much!”

Always

Clara laughed at her friend. The past few weeks had been so peaceful. Gloria’s parents welcomed her to their home with open

treating her like one of their own. It was the first time since her mother passed away that she felt the joy of parental love. It sadden a little that her own father couldn’t show that same emotion. After placing the remaining boxes in the foyer for the movers, Gloria’s phone rang.

Joy instantly popped on her face; it was Casey. Before he could say hello, Gloria squealed.

“Casey!! I miss you!! Are you here yet?”

Clara could hear Casey laughing on the other end, she couldn’t help but laugh too. Casey went on a summer vacation with his family, so they hadn’t seen each other in a few weeks. Gloria spent the entire time pouting but today he was arriving in Springsten.

“I missed you too, and yeah I landed.”

“Why didn’t you tell me! I would have come and got you!”

“It’s okay. I know you guys were moving today. I’m headed to my hotel now and then I’ll meet you guys.”

Pouting.

“Okay. I’ll text you the address!”

“Cool. I love you.”

Blushing. “I love you too.”

Clara smiled, she was happy her friends found each other and even more happy they found her.

Gloria’s parents walked into the foyer with boxes of donuts. Mrs. Rhinehorne had slight tears in her eyes.

“I can’t believe you two are moving into your own apartment. Oh Gloria, I feel like it was only yesterday you were learning how to walk.

Gloria blushed and hugged her mother.

“Awe, mom, don’t cry! I’m still your little girl!”

Wiping the tears from her eyes, Mrs. Rhinehorne walked over to Clara.

“And Clara, these past two years you’ve been like a daughter to us. I’m so proud of you!”

Clara hugged Mrs. Rhinehorne tightly, tears welding up in her eyes. She felt as if her mother’s love was seeping through Mrs. Rhinehorne.

“Oh, momma Whitney, thank you so much. You have no idea what that means for me to hear you say that.”

Gloria and her dad began to tear up. Suddenly, there was loud laughter running towards them. Gloria’s twin brothers Luke and Liam came running into the foyer.

“Waaiiiitttt!!!!”

Both boys screamed as they ran with boxes in their hands.

“This is for you!”

Both boys said in unison to Gloria and Clara. Opening the boxes, the girls eyes began to water. The boys made small picture frames, and each frame had pictures taken during Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Clara and Gloria hugged both of the boys.
