《No Happy Endings? (COMPLETED)》XXXI: Two Doors

Claire's POV:
I turned around and I was ready to leave when the front door opened. It made me jump back and hit against Robert's chest.
Justin, my eyes widened and he looked me back and then Robert. He wasn't pleased to that combination at all I could tell
"Why is he here? Did you call him after you to look that I won't kill you" Robert asked but his tone wasn't aggressive like before when he has seen Justin around. I looked him but said anything back. I had no idea why, no bigger question was HOW he was here
"Claire, I came here to just hear your answer to that question which I asked you earlier" Justin said. My heart took extra beat. Did he really wanted me to choose in front of them? Did I have to do it really? I chuckled.
"Hey, c'mon! You can't seriously mean that. You was angry when you left Alfredo's place on that time. You didn't.." I tried act confident but then I heard Robert call my name too.
"You have to choose, Claire" he said shortly and moved to stand next to Justin. That red ring box was still on his hand.
I looked then confused when suddenly they were on same side, against me. They had ever done something like that and it felt almost crazy. I looked also Justin and how he looked the ring box on Robert's hand.
I saw how hard it was for him to try keep himself as calm as possible even there was a big storm ripping him apart right now probably.
He gave me a asking gaze but I ignore it. I couldn't look at them right now or I'd have probably fell apart. He still had that effect on me. But I couldn't look Robert either. I was able to just stare dirty floor under my feet.

I felt myself so weak on that moment. Get yourself together Claire, I told myself but I couldn't.
Third's POV:
They stood there like two big doors. The name of the game was "Only One Way Out" Claire had a chance to choose just one door. That door would lead to victory or fail.
She had to choose even it felt wrong

Thoughts? This was just a filler part before the grand final.
Yes, anymore one chapter before this fanfiction will be over but before you'll get sad, I have something to tell you, my reader. There's 99% certainty that there's coming a sequel😉
