Chapter One:

Michael

I glanced out the window to see the set setting. I smiled and pulling on some denim jeans, with no shirt on. I couldn't wait to see Eve's beautiful face today. Last night I got in late from talking to Amelie about dear Claire. I have to break the news to Claire tonight, but I didn't want to. She had so much potential for becoming anything she wanted, but she had to just stay here. Forever. And I had to be the one to break it to her.

There was a knock at my door that startled me for once. "Come in," I said in a hoarse voice. I coughed and re-said it. The door opened and my beautiful Eve walked in smiling. "Hey baby." I walked to her and kissed her smiling.

She pulled back and smiled at me, her deep brown eyes sparkling. "Good to see you too. Dinner's ready."

"What are we having?" I asked.

"Claire made tacos," Eve said and I took a grab at her hand, intertwining our fingers. I smiled at her and led her out the doors and down the stairs. We weaved our way through the living room and into the kitchen, where Shane and Claire were kissing intensely.

I fake-coughed to get there attention. Claire jumped away quickly, her cheeks burning when she saw Eve and myself at the door. "Dinner's ready," she said in a very high-pitched voice.

Eve giggled and pulled out four plates from the cupboard by the refrigerator. She handed me a plate, as well as the others. We all silently filled our tacos and went out to the table. Eve by me, Claire by her, and Shane by Claire.

"Claire," I said after taking a sip of my Coke.

She smiled and questioned, "Yes?"

"I spoke to Amelie yesterday," I started unsure if I could go through with this.

"And...?" Claire asked taking a bite of her taco.

"She told me that you have to stay here," I said breathlessly.

"I know," Claire said laughing.

"Forever."

Claire stopped laughing and started to choke on her taco. She coughed and her eyes watered. "What? Forever..."

I nodded pressing my lips together and giving her an apologetic look. Shane furrowed his brows and stood up abruptly. "She can't do this! We were going to leave as soon as Claire's work was over!"

"Shane," Claire started putting her hand on his. "It's okay."

"It's not," agreed Eve.

Claire smiled closing her eyes and kissing Shane's eyes. "I'll talk to her, Shane." Shane puffed some air out and looked at Claire with endearing eyes. He sat down and violently ate one of his tacos. "Thank you for telling me, Michael."

I nodded slightly feeling bad. I know I had to tell her, but I didn't want Shane frustrated, even though I knew he would be. "I'm sorry that it has to be that way."

"I'll talk to her after class tomorrow," Claire said with confidence. I knew Amelie wasn't going to change her mind. That was just how she was, when she made an order, it'd stayed an order. "So how was work?"

"Fine," Shane grunted taking another bite.

"How about you, Eve?"

Eve nibbled at her food and smiled slightly. "Just another normal day at UC; annoying jocks and even more annoying giggling girls." Claire laughed and smiled. "And how was your sleep Mr. Sexy?" She directed the question to me of course.

"It was very relaxing," I smiled, finishing my tacos and downing my Coke. I stood up carrying my plate and empty can to the kitchen. After placing the plate in the sink and the can in the trash, I grabbed two beers. Walking out of the kitchen, I sat a beer by Shane.

"Thanks," Shane grunted standing up and heading to the kitchen with Claire in tow, carrying her's and Eve's plate. I smiled and went into the living room, sitting in my chair and pulling out my guitar from its case. Running a finger over the strings, I sat my beer down and fingered a G sharp chord. Eve sat on the arm rest and put her head on my shoulder while I strummed my guitar.

"I love you," she whispered against my neck.

Chills ran down my spine and I smiled. "I love you too, Eve." I began to play one of my songs a wrote, with no vocals.

Claire

I scrubbed the last plate and handed it to Shane to dry. He dried the dish violently and sat it down with the towel. I let the water go and looked at Shane with a half-hearted smile. I let the tears go down my cheeks. I didn't want to stay in Morgnaville, Texas forever. I didn't want to live there in the first place after I found out that the town was ran by by vampires. I blinked away the tears saw Shane looking at me with a concerned look. He gave me a hug and put his head in the crook of my neck. "Baby, it's going to be okay."

"It's not," I said and crying into his chest. "I want to get out of this town, with you."

"I know, Claire, I know." He gave me a trail of kisses from my neck to my lips. He pulled back for a second and said, "I love you and I'll stay with you forever, no matter if it means living in Morganville." I smiled and kissed him. He kissed me back intertwining his fingers in my hair. My hands went into his back pockets as he pushed me against the counter. I let a moan escape me, which made the heat rise to my cheeks. Shane pulled back and chuckled. "I heard that."

I bit the inside of my cheek and looked down at the floor. "I was hoping you didn't..."

"Well, I did." Shane lifted me up onto the counter and put his hands on my thighs. "I love you, Claire, always remember that."

"I love you too." I kissed him one more time and then we just sat there for awhile; staring into each others eyes.
