Chapter One
Narrator's POV
Claire's boyfriend, Shane has been acting weird for the past few weeks. She could hear him crying from his room, and she was getting worried.
She could no longer take it so she asked Eve, her housemate/BFF, what happened, since she's been with Shane much longer then Claire.
"It's Alyssa's death anniversary in a way..." Eve said.
"Oh." Claire said.
"Yeah, he gets these dreams around this time." Eve said.
"What kind of dreams?"
"He has these dreams about his little sister, Alyssa." Eve explained.
"Did he tell you about the dreams?" Claire asked.
"No, I heard him screaming, Alyssa's name and saying sorry over and over. But this hasn't happened for a long time." Eve said.
"Why do you think it suddenly started again?" Claire was worried that it might be her fault.
"Don't worry Claire Bear. It's not your fault." Eve said.
"Can you read my mind?" Claire asked.
"Nope," Eve popped the 'p'. "I just know you." Eve said, and kissed Claire's cheek. "Just don't worry, now that he has you, he'll be back to the normal Shane in no time." Eve smiled.
"Well I better go to work." Eve sighed. "You wanna ride?"
"Yeah, that would be great. Just let me get my bag." Claire went to her room to grab her backpack.
Shane's room was quiet today. Claire decided that Eve would understand even if she was a few minutes late.
Claire knocked the door. "Shane? Can I come in?"
"Come in." A hoarse voice replied.
Claire opened the door to find Shane with his face in his hands. Claire went over to him and hugged him.
He wrapped his arms around her waist, and started crying on her shoulder. "Shhhh" Claire said, hugging him tight.
She doesn't know how long they stayed that way, but Eve shouted from down stairs, "Claire! We have to go! We're going to be late!"
Shane's grip on her waist loosened. "Go. You have to go to school." He said. He seemed to have calmed down a little.
"I could stay." Claire suggested.
"No, I'll be fine. Now go." Shane said, looking into her eyes.
'Wow, Shane's eyes are beautiful even when their puffed up.' Claire thought.
"OK. I love you. I'll be back as soon as I can." Claire leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. Shane grabbed her face before she could pull away, and kissed her on the lips.
"Love you too." He smiled. He hasn't smiled for a long time, and Claire was happy.
"See you." Claire said, while running down the stairs.
"How long does it take to get your bag?" Eve asked, while running toward her car.
"Shane's finally turning back to his old self." Claire smiled.
"That's great!" Eve said. "Now I don't have to worry about waking up in the middle of the night to Shane's screams."
Claire hit Eve on the arm.
"Well, he is loud!"
Shane's POV
I had a bad dream about Alyssa again. It's always the same. With Alyssa screaming at me and asking me why I let her crossover.
I really wanted to forget about the dream. I had my face in my hands, and was trying to erase it all.
I heard a knock. 'Please be Claire.' I thought.
"Shane? Can I come in?" I heard Claire say.
"Come in." I didn't mean to make my voice so hoarse.
Claire opened the door, but I kept my face in my hands. I didn't want her to see me like this.
Claire just came over and hugged me. I felt so good in her arms, and I couldn't hold my tears anymore. I just started crying on her shoulder.
"Shhhh" Claire hugged me like a mother holding her baby. And I was happy to be her baby.
After what felt like hours, but had probably only been a few minutes, Eve called from down stairs. "Claire! We have to go! We're going to be late!"
"I could stay." I really thought about taking her by her offer, but thought better of it. It would just be selfish if I kept her here.
"No, I'll be fine. Now go." I said softly, looking up. Finally looking at her for the first time that day, she looked so beautiful. She was one of those women who look good even without makeup, but she looked even better when she did. And she looked extra beautiful.
"OK. I love you. I'll be back as soon as I can." She kissed me on the cheek, but I wanted more. I grabbed her face, and pulled her toward my lips.
"I love you too." I smiled. I'm always happy when I'm with Claire. She's my life.
"See you." Claire said, and left.
After I heard the door close, I went down stairs to lock the door. After I made sure I locked the door, I went upstairs to change my shirt. It was soaking wet with my tears, and I didn't like admitting that I cried so much that my shirt is soaking wet.
Changed into a new shirt, I felt really better. Since I couldn't sleep the night before, I decided to take a nap.
The moment my head touched the pillow, I fell asleep.
Who would have thought I would wake up somewhere that wasn't the Glass House…
Where do you think Shane ended up?
