Thank you for the reviews people =)
Also I don't own any Resident Evil characters, unfortunately they all belong to Capcom =(.
Chapter 3 – Reunited
September 28th 2001
It was seven o'clock and Claire was back at home preparing tea when her phone rang, she had a feeling about who it was before she even answered.
"Hello?"
"Hey Claire it's only me, just checking you're okay. Do you want me to come over and keep you company for a bit? Jill's out shopping so it's really not a problem."
"Chris, for the last time, I. AM. FINE."
This was the third time Chris had rang her since she got home and she'd only been in just over an hour. Claire's patience was wearing thin.
"Okay, okay! No need to get stroppy I'm just worried about you that's all. I mean you have to admit it is quite a shock that Leon is suddenly coming back after so long."
Claire sighed, "Look I'm sorry Chris, I'm just not in the best of moods right now, but I'll be fine, stop worrying. I have to go now, my chips are gonna burn, see you soon, love you." Claire waited for a reply and hung up.
She'd just been about to attend to her chips when there was a knock at the door.
'Whoever this is is gonna pay for making me burn my chips' Claire thought whilst heading towards the front door.
But as she opened the door all thoughts of her chips evaporated.
"Leon?"
"Surprise?" Leon replied with a weak smile.
Claire couldn't believe he was actually here, on her front doorstep, the real deal. Her feelings were soon replaced with anger though as she slammed the door in his face.
"Claire, come on!" Leon whined through the wood.
"Go away! You lost any right to speak to me the moment you decided to ignore me completely!"
Leon sighed and ran a hand through his hair, he needed to think of a valid way to explain himself, he figured the only way to do that would to be honest.
"Claire, I'm so sorry it's been so long since we spoke, I thought it was for the best, to keep you safe. I lead a dangerous life Claire and I didn't want you to get caught up in all that." Leon paused, he felt pretty stupid for talking to a door, and he was also attracting strange looks from the neighbours. "I have something important to tell you, I know you'll wanna hear it. Please let me in?" Leon closed his eyes and prayed she'd let him in.
"What are you doing letting him get to you still after so long? Pull yourself together girl." Claire was stood with her back to the door contemplating throwing a bucket of water or some eggs at Leon out of the upstairs window when he suddenly spoke again.
"Claire, it's about Sherry."
Claire's mind grinded to a halt. "Did he just say Sherry?"
Leon was still waiting for a reply when he heard the door opening. He looked to Claire who had a look of shock etched across her face.
"Now can I come in?"
I know this chapter is short but I wanted to finish it like this cause I think it's rather fitting =). I'm currently working on the next chapter though!
