As Clara abrubtly stood up, Jared paused for a moment - seeming quite a bit surprised. As she apologize to him though, the young man shook his hand and stood up - cupping Clara's cheeck and rubbing away one of the tears from her eyes with his thumb. "You don't have to apologize, I understand." He said to her simply, realizing the enormonity of the situation that just had happened.
She had been stabbed, of course she'd be emotional... hell, Jared himself was a little shaken up from the situation. Then again, Jared was never one for good luck - he only wished he had been able to get back Clara's stolen bag. Her life though, was of course more valuable than that bag for the time being.
With that thought though, Jared slowly moved his hand away from Clara's face and put both of his hands in his pockets. Turning a small bit pink in his cheeks from the extremely personal situation at hand. He wasn't sure what to do next, so instead just stood there quietly for a few moments - the whole night seeming just like a whirlwind of things.

The warmth of his hand spread through her body; she leaned her face against it, her eyes closed, trying to keep the tears back. This feeling of helplessness wasn’t something Clara was used to. It was making her body shake with anxiety. She had never been kept from protecting herself before. Feeling like a normal human was a frightening, vulnerable feeling. If Jared hadn’t been with her… Clara would still be dead. There would have been no coming back without him here.
Regret nestled in her stomach and began gnawing at her nerves. She had been so mean to him, and he was the person to save her life. It was a cold reminder of her life; Clara wasn’t a nice person, making sure to stay away from people in general, especially those who took an interest in her.
She opened her eyes as Jared’s hand left her cheek and brushed the few that trickled from her eyes away. Sniffling, Clara glanced at him and quickly looked away. He looked so…bashful, so apprehensive. The way he looked made Clara feel so ashamed of the way she’d handled the whole thing. She shouldn’t have crawled in his lap like a fucking puppy dog. Her mind swirled, a mixture of anger, confusion and shame. Her eyes flicked to him again and she shook her head, wiping her eyes again. “I knew this was a bad idea. I-I, uh, should p-probably go.”

Jared seemed shocked for a moment as she announced her thoughts on things - shaking his head ferverently. "I enjoyed this night, for the most part spending time with you. I'll take you back." He said to her, resisting the urge to be shy once more. He didn't want to leave her side, surprisingly - but at the time being that's all he really could do.

Clara visibly prickled; her fingers clutched into hard little fists, her eyes flashing from their normal blue to an almost white as they flicked up to his face. She could handle the way people thought about her, the way they were scared of her, wary of her, how they thought she was a cold-hearted person, but the one thing Clara could not stand was when people pitied her.
“Don’t,” she growled, the hot sting of tears only adding to her anger. “Don’t pity me, Jared.” She could feel the ends of her hair beginning to rise and had to look away from him. The angrier she became, the less control she had. The more she stood there, though, she angrier she became. “I almost died, but you still had a good night? Well, I’m glad one of us did!”
Wincing, her hand reached up to clutch her tender side. Being so upset must be messing with that stuff he’d put on her. God damn him! Hadn’t she said no, told him to leave her alone? This whole night had been his fault; if he’d just left her alone like she’d wanted, she would never have gotten snuck up on. Another wince, and a glass window shattered close to her. Her head throbbed with each thought, her control flickering every so often. She hadn’t had this kind of trouble with control in years.
Clara straightened, using the wall behind her for support. “I’m not a broken little puppy who needs to be walked back to its dog house. I can make it there on my own just fine.” One hand on the wall, the other on her side, Clara took two sluggish steps before falling against the wall, another glass breaking.

Jared seemed to step back for a moment from Clara's anger that was directed toward him, his momentary happy demeanor faultering for a moment. Why did lady luck alway do this to him? Hesitant as she started to walk away from him, Jared tensed up as the young woman fell against a wall.
It was within moments after that, that he stepped forward and easily picked Clara up - seeming to not care for his well being at all. "I'll take you back, and you can be mad at me later." He told her, unsure as how to react to the situation other than to take care of her. He thought back for a moment when he had forced his lips on her own, unsure as to whether or not she remembered that... secretly hoping that she didn't. Would she be more angry with him? He didn't know, all he did know was that Jared felt the need to take care of this spit-fire female... whether or not she did kill him for it.

The initial touch of Jared holding her made her almost frightened. She reminded herself of a schoolyard bully, teasing the boys just to get some attention. This wasn't exactly the way she wanted him to see her: weak, fragile, the complete opposite of everything she had worked so hard to hide from people. Clara hated having to rely on Jared for a task as simple as walking.
She gently punched his chest, but curled her fingers around the collar of his shirt. "Thank you..." she whispered faintly. Was she angry? A little. But having Jared's arms around her felt so warm and comforting, like a warm blanket she absolutely needed right now. She worried, though, that he didn't like her the same way she liked him. He just seemed so absolutely terrified of her... Clara didn't think she had done anything to scare him, but maybe she had unintentionally. The more she thought, the more tired she felt.
Pulling all her strength, she looked up at him, her eyes fluttering. "T-take me to A-uh, t-the nurse. She'll know w-what to do... W-w-we'll need to tell her what h-happened." Her last words escaped her in a sigh, and her head rested snugly against his chest. Her fingers stayed curled around his collar as she blacked out.
[OOC; We can move this to the Nurse's office, and have Jared tell Amy what happens, so she'll have to tell the Principal & whatnot, and that way we can pull in the whole "Renata" storyline too. If you want, that is. It'll also help with the dangerous gifteds thing too ^_^]
