( Emily's room )

She was very tensed . She walked in the room thinking what should she two . She felt like there were two people inside her head . One constantly pushed her to go to her home and talk to her father , the other kept her reminding of the consecuences that could be and stopped her from going to her father . She was wondering how her entire life changed in a moment . Her father used to love her the most . She could go to talk to him anytime of the day but a single news changed everything for her . Her father didn't wanted to see her anymore . Her step mother always wanted a way to throw her out of Kevin's life . She was confused . All her life her mother was her ideal she never realized that she was hiding such a big secret from her . Her mother lost her trust . She didn't even wanted to think of her . She was so confused . She didn't knew where to go . She didn't knew whom to believe . There was a big question mark in front of her .

Clara " Good morning , Sugar . "

Emily " Clara , what are you doing here ? "

Clara " It's my home you are the guest , remember . Anyways , I come here bearing cookies and coffee for you see I have vanilla and chocolate chips and I have muffins . So what do you want ? "

Emily " I am good . "

Clara " Look Emily , I am sorry about what happened last night . I was mean and rude and selfish . But now I want you to forgive me . We can be friends . I don't think you need a sister since you never lost one . "

Emily " What do you mean ? "

Clara " I mean the story that Steven made up for you because you know Alex believes that you should make friends with people who match your status and clearly you are no way in match of us . "

Emily " He told you everything . "

Clara " Of course , he did . Last night when we were in bed . You know after the whole argument I headed out of the house but then he came running behind me and he stopped me . You know he just can't do without me . And Steven don't hide anything from me . I understand why he made up that whole story , he couldn't have told everyone that he brought home a roadside thrash . "

Emily " What ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? "

Clara's words pierced Emily's heart . She was not able to believe that Steven called her a road side thrash . All this while she thought that she found a friend who she can trust .

Clara " You are a charity project to him . "

Emily " Yes ! "

Clara " Yes people will think good of him and it will benefit his business . What did you thought why he was helping you ? He couldn't be in love with you . So . . . . . . . . . . "

Emily " I can't believe . "

Clara " A girl whose father abandoned her . I mean who abandons her daughter until the daughter did something really , really , really , bad . Something that couldn't be forgiven . "

Emily " Is that what he told you ? "

Clara " Since we are friends now you could share your feelings with me . "

Emily " Just leave me alone . "

Clara " Why don't you tell me why did your father left you on the road to die with your daughter . "

Emily " I . . . . . . . . . uh . . . . . . I , "

Clara " Since we are on this topic tell me who is the father of you child . "

Emily ( stammering ) " I . . . . The father is . . . . "

Clara " You have all my ears . "

Emily " The father . . . uh . . . .  The father . . . . I don't . . . . . . .  "

Clara " Oh wait a minute you don't remember who the father . What are you a slut ? who sleeps with hundred of guys . "

Emily " You are crossing your limits . "

Clara " You better don't talk about limits . No wonder why your father left you . You brought shame to your family's name . "

Emily " Shut up ! Shut up ! "

Clara " Since you are going to live at my place for a while  remember few things firstly ever dare to raise your voice in front of me . . . . "

Emily " I  . . . . . . "

Clara " Don't interrupt me in between . I have seen girls like you who try to trap rich boys for their money and I can clearly see your motive in your eyes . Steven is mine . Don't ever dare to get close to him . "

Emily " You talk like he is a non living thing that you possess . He is a human being stop treating him like your pet . "

Clara " How dare you ? "

Emily  You say you love him but still you are so insecure about him . . . . . . "

Clara " That's non of your business . "

Emily " My personal life was also not your business but still you humiliated me . You know why are you so insecure about him ? "

Clara " No would you like to bless me with your knowledge . "

Emily " In a corner of your heart you know that he deserves better . "

Clara " I am the best for him . "

Emily " Oh really I doubt that . "

Clara " You are no one to tell me .  Anyways what do you know about relationships ? You have never been in a relationship . . . . You have a child with a mystery man . I wonder what you will teach your girl . "

Steven " What's going on in here ? "

Clara " Nothing just some girls talk . I brought her cookies and muffin and I made her coffee myself . "

Steven " That's so sweet of you . "

Clara " You know I am trying to make amends for last night . You know I said things that I shouldn't have . "

Steven " Sweetie I know how sorry you are for that . Just relax we all are good aren't we . "

Clara " I don't know if Emily has forgiven me ? "

Steven " Emily she is really very sorry please forgive her . "

Emily " I did , I forgave her . I don't see a lot of options in front of me . "

Clara " Ok , since every thing is sorted I will rush to work . I am getting late , honey . "

Steven " Yes , yes , go it's time . "

Clara " Give me a kiss first . Today is a big day . "

Steven caressess her head gently and kisses her gently . 

Steven " All the best . "

Clara " Thank you .  "
