Prologue

"I hurt you" Shane says as I turn my attention to him.

"I swore I'd never do that again and I did, I fell right for Naomi's easiest trick, turning us against each other. I should've trusted you, trusted him, and I didn't. So I'm sorry. And you have every right not to-" he says as he lets out a groan of pain, I see a slash on his hand full of blood which was now soaking but he still continues to talk "Not to trust me or forgive me. But I hope you do" Shane says as I inspect the wound on Shane's hand he tells me that he's fine and I guess I just have to go along with that. "Do you forgive me?" he finally asked. His eyes were warm and steady.

"No. I want to, I really do, but you didn't trust me, Shane. You didn't believe me when I needed it. And that hurt me, Shane. It really did. It's going to take a little time and a lot of work for me to forgive you for that." I say. Shane looks at me his face now looking rather hurt, he probably just assumed that I'd forgive him, because well I always forgive him, but not this time.

"I know. I deserve it. If we get out of here, I promise, I'll make it up to you" Shane says.

*Later*

"Claire. Always in the middle, what should I do with you?" Amelie asks.

"I need her help, Frank's offline. Without her, I'll be ages getting all the necessary protections back online. Oh, and I'll need a brain. Something relatively undamaged" Myrnin says.

"I thought you were planning on using Claire's brain" Amelie says turning to me.

"Very well, Claire you'll be allocated to help Myrnin, understood?" Amelie asks. I nod stepping away.

*Time Skip, back at the Glass House*

I lay in my bed as I felt warm arms wrap around me and see that its Shane.

"Shane I can't" I say getting up off the bed as Shane just looks at me so much hurt filled his eyes.

"I don't forgive you Shane, I can't just lie in bed with you and pretend everything's okay Shane, because it's not" I say wishing that I didn't have to say this.

"Claire I-"Shane says but I cut him off.

"Myrnin kissed me Shane, and I couldn't even be honest and tell you that, I think we both need space Shane, I'm sorry, but for now, we're over" I say as a tear falls down my cheek.

"I get it, I guess I deserve this, and I'm not surprised about Myrnin, I knew he'd do it eventually. But just know Claire, I'm staying here, and I'm going to try my absolute hardest to be worthy of you" Shane says kissing me on the forehead and walking out.

So what did you think? A lot of it was taken straight out of the book but meh, tell me what you thought and I promise next chapter will be a lot more interesting.
