(Shane's P.O.V.)

Damn it! Why does Claire always end up hurt somehow? Why can't she just be safe for a little bit. At least now that Bishops gone, the only things that pose predominate threats are: Her psycho boss, who I really have the urge to kill since he bit Claire, Her creepy other boss, Amelie, who has dangerous and insane jobs for her, and the fact that she still has to survive her crazy classes. "Hey guys I gonna go up and stay with Claire." I said as I finished chugging my coke and make a three pointer into the trashcan. Eve and Michael were, thank god, to busy making out to notice. They had finally worked out their little situation reasonably and civilly. So basically they just had an all out screaming match which ended in them making out. I ran up the stairs, taking three steps at a time to Claire's room. I slowed down when I got to the door and took a deep breath. What's wrong with me? Before Claire, I would have neverever been nervous about being with a girl. I guess I really do love Claire. I thought as I opened her door slowly, to find her sleeping. She looked so peaceful when she slept; it also made her look even younger than she already was. I grabbed her ipod off her desk, inserting the ear buds in securely. I hoped she wouldn't mind too much. I put it on shuffle and it came up with a song called "Even angel's fall" by Jessica Riddle. I really didn't care right now what played, as long as it wasn't obnoxious, too girly and stupid, or would wake Claire. I peeled back the covers and slid in next to her. Then I pressed play and the song began.

You've found hope
You've found faith,
Found how fast she could take it away.
Found true love,
Lost your heart.
Now you don't know who you are.

I settled in bed next to Claire, put my arm around her, and carefully stroked her hair.

She made it easy,
Made it free,
Made you hurt till you couldn't see.
Sometimes it stops,
Sometimes it flows,
But baby that is how love goes.

This sounds just like Claire and I. Huh who knew that this song would relate so well to us? She really does makes me hurt, especially when I see her hurt.

You will fly and you will crawl;
God knows even angels fall.
No such thing as you lost it all.
God knows even angels fall.

She is my angel, but I swear right now that I will do all in my power to keep her from falling.

It's a secret no one tells;
One day it's heaven, one day it's hell.
It's no fairy tale;
Take it from me,
That's the way it's supposed to be.

Yup that's Morganville for ya. But most of the time its hell.

You will fly and you will crawl;
God knows even angels fall.
No such thing as you lost it all.
God knows even angels fall.

You laugh, you cry, no one knows why
Behold the thrill of it all...
You're on the ride
You might as well
Open your eyes

Ride? It's more like a giant rollercoaster of emotions. I am not good with emotions. I barely worked up enough guts to tell her I loved her, and now I'm on this ride. Guess if I would've opened my eyes sooner then a lot of things might not have happened.

You will fly and you will crawl;
God knows even angels fall.
No such thing as you lost it all.
God knows even angels fall.
Even angels fall
even angels fall

By the time the song was nearly over, my eyelids were starting to droop and I had to fight to keep them open. I finally gave up right as the song ended. I guess Angels do sometimes fall, but I wasn't going to let mine.


(Claire's P.O.V.)

I woke up with something warm surrounding me. My eyes instinctively flashed open, to reveal my boyfriend, Shane fast asleep next to me. My Ipod was in his hand. I picked it up carefully and looked at the song title. I then looked at the clock. It read: 5:00 am. It was a Saturday so I'm going to go back to sleep. But I am totally going to hold this against him tomorrow. This was going to be for all the times he made fun of my balance. Sometimes black mail is the sweetest revenge. I never claimed to be a good angel.


AU: Hope you enjoyed it!
