Michael's pov

I've heard Claire crying today with Eve; it will be about Shane and what happened last night. He is such a dick for what he did; he can hurt me, hell he can hurt Eve but never can he hurt Claire. I don't understand why he would do this to her, she is the only one of us who has constantly stood by him; and yet he treats her with no respect.

Literally I saw Claire's vulnerability last night; despite everything she has done, she is still vulnerable to love. She can fight all vampires, she can stare death in the face; but one thing that really hurts her is losing someone close. Shane did that too her, he made her feel like a child, made her sob and wilt; just because he wasn't man enough to admit he was the one who was wrong.

It took everything for me not to kill him instantly last night; I would of fought, just for the chance to cause him pain but I know that would of caused Claire even more pain- so I just walked away. I'm so mad at myself for what I did; I shouldn't of just walked away… I should of walked away taking him with me; then calling time on this 'gym'.

I hope he comes back, just to apologise to Claire; and I swear to god he touches her one more time… I'll make him dig his own grave.

I've just told Michael, he took it so well. I have to laugh at the fact that Eve seems more excited than me; I am excited but it's the fact I have to tell Shane, whilst knowing deep down that he will never believe me or he might not even listen!

That's my biggest worry that he just won't listen… that he'll call me desperate and sick for creating a baby, when really he should be smiling and happy at the idea of becoming a father.

Fact is, I'm only 17; I haven't lived yet, I haven't went to MIT or Caltech and with a baby those dreams are gone yet, if Shane was here I wouldn't mind losing a place at those universities because I'd be part of a family; but he isn't here and I'd be a single mom working for a mad scientist vampire whilst, trying to cope with a screaming baby. Any way I look at this; I just can't see another answer, all the answers involve getting my Shane back!

I can't believe Claire is pregnant; I feel so sorry for her; you can see the pain alive on her face. Her smile was so fake when I congratulated her, probably because my congratulation was also fake; I can't be happy for her when she isn't happy herself. All this is Shane's fault, why he's became this monster is anyone's guess because I thought he loved her; how wrong could I be?
