First world problems
K-mart
It was a cold but warm night out at the desert in state of Texas. I was enjoying the night as the convoy was seated around a campfire burning the wood, Carlos, Chis and Claire Redfield, Alice.
As the night got later the more cold it got, I shivered as I realised how cold it was, I was only wearing a t-shirt and a leather jacket over it but it didn't go unnoticed.
'You cold k-mart'? I hear Chis say from besides Claire. Shit he must of saw me shiver but before I could answer.
'Here' I hear someone say before I feel something heavy on my back as I turn my head to see Claire giving me a small smile as I realised she put a blanket over my shivering body after giving me a soft kiss on my forehead.
'Thanks' I say to Claire hugging her back for a few seconds before pulling away not really wanting to be touched since I have realised I have had a crush on the convoy leader and chis and as well Alice too.
But I missed something as I turn my head to see Chris giving Claire a weird look as if I did something to upset her. But what? I think as I feel a little bit warmer but still cold and trying to hide it from everyone at the camp.
But remember Alice had powers so she could probably see how cold I was from my body heat and as I looked up I saw Alice looking at me with a smirk on her face which answered my question. We stared at each other for like 3 minutes, forgetting about the others as I was lost in her eyes.
Before Alice mentioned me over with one of her fingers. Wasting no time getting up from the hard sand ground after walking around the campfire with the blanket in one of my hands, making my way to Alice, sitting down next to her. Wrapping the blanket around me after few seconds of trying to unfold it around my body and failing.
I hear Alice try to stifle a laugh beside me. It's not funny I must look like an idiot in front of her.
Getting frustrated, Alice gently puts her arms around me, carefully takes the blanket from my shaking hands and uses one hand to put the blanket around me still keeping one of her hands on my hip as she turns me around, leaning my head on her shoulder.
I started to get heaps warmer right away upon putting my head on her shoulder. She was so warm and soft. Opening my eyes I see Claire giving me a hard look and Chris looking at Claire and Carlos just drinking his drink. After a few minutes of Claire giving me a death stare I closed my eyes not wanting to look at her but I could feel her eyes on me. Shit.
'Well I'm tired so I'm going to sleep' I hear Claire say and I knew straight away she was upset. Quickly opening my eyes and see Claire's retreating form with her back to me. Taking my head off Alice's shoulder and turning to see her watching Claire walking away after turning her eyes back to me, giving me a nod as if she knew. Whispering a thanks and jumping to my feet, making the blanket fall of my body after sending sand everywhere. Jogging towards the hummer where I knew she was heading there to get her things for bed. Seeing her just ahead of me I slow to a walk as I walk up beside her.
'Hey why didn't you tell me you were going to bed'? I ask a little surprised that she walked off without me.
'Well you were with Alice and I thought you were chilling with her since you hugging her' Claire says annoyance in her voice to me with her back to me as she was grabbing some things out of the hummer.
'Yeah I haven't really talked to her for ages' I say back after thinking how to say this without pissing off Claire. But she ignored me as I heard her grunt in annoyance and anger.
'So what room are we staying in'? I say trying to get her to talk to me because it was getting awkward.
We? Who said we? I hear Claire say in such anger as I stare at her shocked at what she just said to me.
'What? We always sleep in the same room Claire? I say in confusion as I feel down about how she is talking to me.
'Hey you ready Claire we got number 8' I turn around to see Chris walking up towards us.
'Yes I'm coming now' I see Claire saying as I just stare at her in shock of what is happening.
'What about me'?! I say angry but I was ignored again by Claire as she walked past me as if I was a ghost.
'Claire!' I say following her as she's walking down the halls of doors with Chris after arriving at door 8 '
'Claire what are you doing'?! So I can sleep with you and Chris now can I?!' I yell at her in the door way, now getting really upset about this. I
'I'm Going to sleep Kmart and no you can't it's just me and Chris tonight and you can share a room with Alice or whatever just go annoy someone else'. She said before closing the door on my face with a soft shut.
That's when I was really upset and pissed off, starting into a run as I ran faster and faster until I reached the hummer, sliding down the side of it so nobody could see me. Losing control I start to cry softly, feeling the hot tears roll down my cheeks. What did I do to Claire to make her push me away so much? To make her angry and upset with me? What have I done? Did she really find me that annoying? I thought she loved me well I guess I was wrong.
