Spoiler Warning
A.N.- After seeing 'Distractions', this little idea refused to leave my head. Though I wrote it quickly, I'm pretty proud of it. I've never been a real Claire/Peter person (I'm more of a Claire/Zach girl ), but I saw this opportunity and went with it. I was kinda freaked out about Nathan being her dad. Really creepy. But anyways, on with the story!!
She couldn't stop thinking about him- her saviour, her hero. He had died for someone he had never met before, and that someone was her. He made her feel special, and not alone. He gave her a warm feeling; one she felt whenever she thought of him. Even his name sent a tingle down her spine. The moment she met him, she felt complete. Despite the age difference, he was perfect for her. They could work around that- she was almost legal and willing to wait.
The second she set eyes on him, Claire knew that Peter Petrelli was the one. She wanted nothing else but to be with him. In her dreams, she was not Claire Bennet, but Claire Petrelli. They could be happy forever, she dreamt. It was her own little fairytale. She was not the only one out there that had a power. Peter completed her. When he left, she longed for him. But she would wait for him to come back, to save her again. To make her feel whole again.
When her mother told her who her real father was, her heart felt crushed. She felt sick to her stomach for thinking such thoughts. The disappointment racked at her brain day after day.
Claire had dreamed of being Claire Petrelli, and her fairytale came true. But this fairytale had no happy ending.
