"Peter," she called out my name, fear written all over her face. What hurt the most was that there's nothing I could do."
Then, I suddenly woke up from the horrible nightmare with Claire standing over me.
Longing for my special, someone by my side, someone to trust unconditionally.
Our secret looks, sometimes I know she has a look just for me
The emptiness I feel with she's not around is like a knife to the gut.
I can't help but feel protective over her.
"Yes, Claire?" I answered sleepily and a little confused.
"I was just thinking," she said softly, "Why are you so overprotective?" she laughed as she sat right next to me.
"Are you serious?" I lifted myself up straight on the couch and couldn't help but quietly laugh as well. "You woke me up at one in the morning to tell me that I'm overprotective. You couldn't wait until tomorrow?"
"No, I couldn't...It's just, sometimes…do you think you're too overprotective?"
"No, not at all," I answered, completely disagreeing with her.
"Okay, since you are not overprotective," she teased, "You wouldn't mind if I happened to work with people to hunt some bad guys?"
She knew this would get to me.
"You know, villains and other dark people like, let me think..." She thought to herself innocently, 'I wonder what he would think of me dating guys, hunting people like Sylar. I should probably walk around with a gun.'
I wanted to laugh at how innocent Claire could sometimes be, she knew I could hear all of her thoughts- that I would never allow any of that to happen, but I still maintained my focus; she was not going to break me.
"So tell me, Peter, why are you overprotective?" she paused, waiting for a response.
I took a deep breath, "'Cause every time I try to be okay with the fact that you are actually growing up…" I murmured, running my fingers through my hair nervously as I continued, "Something bad happens."
"Like what?" she demanded
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and I could feel her heart pounding like crazy. My only concern was to make sure that she was okay, out of harms way. The door burst open, revealing men with guns ready to take us down, but I wasn't going down without a fight.
"See, like that?" I said in a teasing tone, at the same time moving her behind me and using mind control. "Peter Petrelli and Claire Bennet left the building. They should be right around the corner; you could catch them if you're fast enough."
All of the guards turned around and ran out of the apartment.
"God, they're so stupid." I thought.
"That's why I'm overprotective." I stated, facing her again.
She smiled, thinking, 'He definitely is a real hero and really overprotective.'
I laughed, "I think we need to escape."
She hugged me tightly and gave her answer, "I'm all yours…Where are we off to?"
