Hearing Jay trying to reassure her, Clarissa smiled at him gently but she still couldn't help but feel the weight of the evening dawn on her. She still felt like it was her fault in some way. Surely if she would have told him about Zeke...or made her lack of romantic feelings towards Zeke clearer...maybe it could have all been avoided. This situation was not easy on either of them and she hated that Jay had to suffer; because of Zeke and now his sister's threats. 

The daughter of Aphrodite could see the fear and uneasiness written clear across his face. It only seemed to be more visible when she mentioned Zeus. Clarissa sighed with a nod [color=red] "Yes...the one and almighty Zeus, is her father." [/color] That thought made her twitch feeling uneasy about it, just like Jay. It was clear that any child of Zeus was frightening...but Stella just seemed to be even more worse than some people could imagine. The blonde had no problem scaring people with threats, looks and her demeanor. The threats and the look would stay with her for a long time. Clarissa had already felt uneasy about the coming school year and she had a good reason to.  No matter how many times Clarissa tried to shake the thoughts from her head and wanted to focus on something else; it was hard to.

Jay's expression made her feel a bit more anxious and she looked at him worried. Their fear of Stella was mutual. She sighed softly as she listened to him speak and she smiled at him gently when he reassured her he was alright.

She sighed as she tried to gather her thoughts, before speaking [color=red] "It wouldn't be the first time, she said something like that to me....But thank you for wanting to try and stop her." [/color] Clarissa really did feel grateful for him trying to help and stick up for her. When he glanced away from her briefly, she reached down and gave his hand a squeeze as a thank you. Clarissa knew that most people thought of her the same way Stella did. Her manipulating people in the past was coming to bite her behind. She wanted to explain everything to Jay but she wasn't sure how to go about it; she didn't want to scare him off or make him think that she would treat him like the previous guys. In the past it was all just fun and laughs for her. But Jay really did mean something to her-even if they didn't know each other that well.  Taking a deep breath she spoke softly. [color=red] "I should probably tell you something...before you might hear it from someone else. I know...I am not the best person in the world, or never exactly was like most girls. In a way I am like my mother Aphrodite when it comes to men and relationships...It was just fun and games. Despite all of that, I do really care about you and like you...I didn't trick you into anything, I Swear. That's one of the reasons why I feel so bad about everything....I don't like Zeke, I never really did like him in that way and he knows that. It didn't change just because we spoke earlier tonight...I don't know what he thought changed in that short space."[/color] 

Looking at Jay, Clarissa bit her lower lip as she let it all sink in. The way she was honest about herself and the way she spoke/looked at him it was clear that she wanted to change...try to change. It didn't feel right to keep him in the dark and have someone else tell him how she was really like. [color=red] "I get if you never want to speak to me again...after this. I just wanted to be the one to tell you." [/color] Glancing at the ground she closed her eyes; not sure if she what she was expecting next. A part of her hoped that he would not cast her away and still want to speak to her after everything.
