Summary: every normal relationship has its problems. But there is nothing normal in morganville. So why did she expect it to be her happily ever after?
Claire's POV:
I walk back to the Glass House half excited and half dreading it. Sure I should be happy, I realized my real feelings. I sent a break up text to Shane saying we are over and we'll talk about it later. Shane has this thing however, I realized. He doesn't take rejection well. And if it's because of a vampire, it's a lot worse. Dread fills my whole body as I race up the stairs to the door. I open the door and find Shane on the couch playing a zombie game. I can tell because of the groans and gunshots. As soon as I walk in Shane pauses the game and looks at me with an unreadable expression.
"Finally home. Eve and Michael aren't home. So, what's up? How come the text?" He says in a monotone voice. Not good. I walk over and sit on the other side of the couch facing him. I take a deep voice before I begin, calming my shaking hands.
"I can't do this anymore Shane. You've changed and so have I. I don't feel the same anymore so I think it's best we break up. We could still be friends right?" I ask uncertainly. I look at his face to see the same unreadable expression. I look down at his hands, which are curled up into fists on his lap. He slides closer til he's less than a foot away from me. He puts one hand on the arm rest behind me, trapping me. The other is on my arm, squeezing a bit too hard. I wince slightly as his face draws closer, stopping at my ear.
"Is it because of that lunatic boss of yours? Did he brainwash you to loving him. If so then your sick Claire. You can have me. Think about it. Someone who's living, breathing and can give you what you want. You don't want this Claire." He whispers into my ear venomously. He grips harder as to persuade me. I swallow a lump in my throat and try my hardest to be brave.
"He's not a lunatic and he treats me better than you have. You've changed Shane. This isn't working. I'm sorry." My voice cracks slightly at the end. Shane's head withdraws slightly til he's a few inches from my lips. His eyes are dark with anger and another look I've seen, lust.
"Big mistake Claire. I'm not going to let you go that easy. You have no where to go. You think you can stay with Myrnin? Fat chance Amelie would even let you. Even if your sleeping with him. And I could easily persuade Michael to kick you out. You've got no where Claire. Your stuck here, and here, your mine." He says as he crashes his lips against mine. Biting my lips too hard causing me to whimper. I try squirming to get free but his grip is too tight. I know I'll have a bruise there tomorrow. Shane's kiss gets more aggressive and shoves his tongue into my mouth. I take this chance to bite down on his tongue. He screams and instantly backs away. I run to the stairs and dart to my room. Closing and locking the door. I sit down on the floor and start crying. After about half an hour I stop crying and get up from the floor. I pick up my bookbag from the corner of the room and open it up. I get some clothes scattered around and stuff them in. I take out my phone and dial a familiar number.
"Hello? Claire?"
"Hey mom, how are you?" I ask, trying to sound normal.
"Oh I'm fine honey. Are you okay?" Mom askes, worry in her voice.
"Yeah I'm okay. I just wanted to ask if I could stay over with you and Dad for a little while. I'm having some..issues here and I just want to get away." I tell her, trying not to say too much. She instantly understands, mothers intuition I guess.
"Of course honey. You can stay as long as you want. Your room is made up and ready for you. When will you come over?"
"Tomorrow morning. Thanks mom. See you tomorrow."
"Okay love you honey."
"Love you too mom. Bye." I hang up the phone and sigh. I hear the front door slam and a pair of boots storm up the stairs. I open my door to see a smiling Eve near her door. She looks at me and see the troubled look on my face. She furrows her eyebrows and comes towards me.
"What's wrong Claire Bear?" She askes as she comes into my room and sits on my bed. I close the door and shrug. Trying hard not to say what happened between me and Shane.
"Not much. Me and Shane are over and I'm going to stay with my parents for a little while. I'll be back though." I whisper the last part as I avert my eyes. Eve gasps and immediately goes to hug me.
"Oh CB I'm sorry. You sure you don't want me to beat his ass? Or get Michael to do it?" She askes, seriously. I laugh and shake my head.
"No it's okay. I'm fine so it's alright. Just don't want to be around him right now."
"Well..okay Claire but remember I'll beat his ass once you say the word." She gives me one last hug and heads to Michaels room to tell him I suppose. I close my door and lay down on my bed. I close my eyes and drift off to sleep.
I awake a few hours later to my door closing and a figure standing over me. I yelp and sit up immediately. A hand covers my mouth and pins me to the bed. I make out the familiar hair and scent. Shane. I start wriggling around trying to get free, to no avail however. Shanes body is pressing me down.
"So you're leaving to your parents? Big mistake. I'll make you regret it Claire. I told you you're mine. And I'll never let you go." He whispers harshly. I thrash around trying to get him off. I manage to get my hand free annnd immediately slap him, hard. The sound echoes through my room. His face however doesn't move. He releases his grip on me and sits on the bed. As soon as he does I feel a sharp sting on my face. It takes me a moment to realize what happen. Shane, just hit me. He gets up and before he is out the door he turns to me.
"You'll regret choosing him over me." With that he leaves and I'm alone again in my room.
So this is the first chapter. Sorry for the typos and bad grammer. Hope you like please RXR. Shanes a little OOC but he does have anger issues and violence issues so I thought this might fit him. Anyways hope you like! Please review!
