I just want to say thanks to those who reviewed. And a special thanks to CoureyCollins-Glass for the last review that helped me motivate for a more recent update. I hope you enjoy this chapter as well. Please Review and if you have any ideas for a new chapter I'm open to ideas. (Especially open to requests for one-shots since I get writers block easily) anyways enjoy this chapter. I will also update later tonight so its a double update today.

Eve's POV:

Seeing Claire leave today was hard. I know it's only for two weeks but I just don't feel right. After Claire left I pulled Michael aside into the kitchen. I sat down at the table and put my head in my hands. I'm always portrayed as the bad-ass or the tough one but right now I just don't feel, right. Michael sits in the chair next to me and grabs one of my hands in his. I turn to Michael and shake my head slightly.

"Eve what's wrong?" He askes in that sweet voice I love so much. I squeeze his hand and look at the table.

"Something's not right Michael. Claire she just doesn't seem, Claire. I had a feeling last night, she's not telling me something. Something important and I don't know what." I tell him, gritting my teeth. "I mean her and Shane had problems before but to seriously break up? Why? And she looks haunted Mikey."

"I know Eve. I heard her heart skip a beat when she saw me earlier. Like she's scared something will happen."

"What can we do Mikey? I don't want to feel so helpless. I want to help her." I whisper. Michael squeezes my hand reassuringly.

"I don't know Eve. You just got to talk to her. Try to see if she'll talk to you during work or for her to come over."

"Yeah but she doesn't want to be around Shane. So she can't really come over maybe I'll tell her to go to Common Grounds tomorrow."

"Shane works late on Saturday so maybe she can come over for a while."

"That gives me an idea!" I exclaim. I take out my phone and send two text messages to Claire. I grin widely as I giggle. Michael looks at me with an eyebrow raised. "We're gonna have a slumber party. Us three. No exceptions Mikey!" I grin wider at his expression of terror.

"Oh no." He groans and I laugh. I hear the front door slam and Michael and I both turn towards the door of the kitchen. "Shane left. Probably to work." He sighs as he gets up to get his guitar and keys. He gives me a peck on the lips and says his goodbye as he also heads off to work. I go upstairs, shower and get ready for work as well. I need to talk to Claire.

Friday morning comes and goes. The normal routine, wake up, shower, make coffee, but somehow it's not the same without Claire. I sit at the coffee table playing with my cup when Shane comes in. He looks at me and pours himself some coffee.

"What died and ruined your day? Or in your case, what lived?" Shane comments. I snort and flip him off.

"Buzz off ass-hole."

"Ah so the dead girl lives." I throw a piece of my muffin at him. Yep normal routine. Noon comes around as I enter Common Grounds. I put on my apron and get to work on the expresso machine. Oliver's barking and a lot of people kept me occupied until four o'clock came around. I hear the door open and in comes Claire in a light blue sweater. It's not that chilly is it? I grab the Mocha I made just a few minutes before and take off my apron.

"Hey Ollie I'm taking my break!" I yell over my shoulder. I could see Oliver's eye twitch as he struggles to keep his nice guy mantra intact.

"Half hour Eve!" He yells back. I head to Claire who is sitting at a recently abandoned table. I sit down and pass her the mocha. I smile and she reciprotates it.

"So Claire Bear you okay? Got a cold or something?" I ask as I point to her sweater. She smiles a weak one, yeah somethings wrong.

"Yeah I guess, just a little cold I'm fine though. So about tomorrow. How come Shane's not.." she trails off obviously feeling nervous. I put my hand on her arm and she winces ever so slightly. What's wrong with her?

"Shane's working real late that night so I thought you could stay, sleep with me and Mikey and have fun then leave before he wakes up. C'mon Claire Bear please? Pretty please for me?" I ask her and try my best to do a cute puppy expression. She laughs and nods.

"Okay but your buying pizza."

"Deal! Okay so what time will you be over?" I almost jump in excitement.

"How about five? I finish classes at four and it will give me time to get ready."

"Okay fine, five it is! By the way I'm so giving you a makeover while your there." We both laugh and talk until I have to go back to work. I wave bye to Claire and put my apron back on. I can't wait, tomorrow will be amazing!

So that's the end of this chapter. Sorry for the grammar and spelling issues. Hope you enjoyed it. Next chapter I promise to add Clyrnin in it. At least a little. And I tried to give you another point of view in this story. Hope you liked it. Please review! Pretty please!
