Quil and his Love Bug

Hey, guys! SO sorry on the long wait. I hope this chapter makes up for it.

"That's me," he answered stepping outside. He eyed the three of us skeptically, and I guess decided it was safer to leave the door open.

"I came to talk to you. Privately," I reached my arm over his shoulder slamming the door closed and pinning him against it. "Is that okay?" I asked in a mock nice voice.

"S-sure," he stuttered. His former cocky attitude was now gone.

"So I thought we would talk girls in this little chat of ours." His eyes widened as if he knew where I was going with this, "Any that you like?"

"No," he answered stiffly. "Not right now."

"Yeah, you see, that's my whole issue," I said through clenched teeth. "Does a girl named Claire ring a bell? Five feet, long dark brown hair, green eyes, and fourteen years old. Real pretty. Real young."

He smirked at me, "You forgot to mention her body. One of the nicest I've seen in a loooong time."

I slammed his body backwards so that he hit the door violently, "Don't talk about her like that. You took advantage of her you creep. She's so young and naive. How do you not have a guilty conscience?"

"Listen, bro," he said removing my hands from his shirt. "Claire was a pretty girl. But that's all she'll ever be to me. A pretty girl. I got what I wanted. I have no other use for her. She wouldn't even go all the way."

That was too much I couldn't handle this jerk anymore. I made to go grab his neck and show him what I thought of his thoughts on Claire, but Jake and Seth grabbed both of my arms before I could even touch him. "Let me go," I shouted.

"Quil, if we let you go you'll kill him. That's not what Claire wants," Jacob shouted. I immediately calmed down. Claire would be disappointed in me if I seriously injured him.

I was breathing real hard when I looked him straight in the eyes and said, "If I find out you came near Claire again I will kill your ass. Don't doubt it either."

He looked rightfully scared as Jake and Seth turned away to start walking back towards my truck, "At least I got a piece of her ass before I got a death threat."

I whirled around and before I knew what I was doing my right fist connected with his nose, then again with the side of his face. Seth dashed over and ripped me away from him throwing me in the car. "Come on dumbass. Let's go before his parents come out and see your license plate number," Jake yelled.

I slammed on the pedal and my tires squealed as we got the hell out of there.

Seth, Jake and I were back at my apartment within minutes and they both decided to come up and check on the girls. When we entered my room the three of them were fast asleep on my big bed, The Notebook still playing in the DVD player.

I looked at the screen as Ryan Gosling stood up against a car, "I want all of you, forever, you and me, everyday."

Jake turned to me, "Do you mind if I just crash here? I don't want to leave her and it's not fun to wake up a pregnant woman."

"Of course. I don't care if you guys stay, just don't say anything to Claire. She doesn't know we went to see him." I turned to look at her peacefully sleeping form. "I guess we're just gonna have to crash in the living room."

I followed the two of them out of my bedroom and grabbed a bunch of pillows and blankets out of the linen closet. "Dude," Seth explained. "We don't need blankets."

"Well, I don't," I retorted. "Because I'm sleeping on the couch. You two are going to have to make some sort of cushioning to sleep on the ground with." They both let out groans and I chuckled throwing all the bed supplies but one pillow at them. I fell back onto the couch with the pillow clasped behind my head. "Goodnight, boys," I chuckled.

I felt her soft hands on my shoulder before I heard her sweet voice. "Quil," she whispered.

I opened my eyes only because I knew it was Claire, "Hey, Love Bug," I mumbled through the darkness. "What time is it?"

"It's 2:00 in the morning. I got worried when you never came home but," she glanced at Seth and Jacob who were sleeping soundly on the floor. "It looks like you got back a while ago."

"Yeah. Sorry. You seemed so peaceful, I didn't want to wake you up," I explained.

She looked down, and her cheeks turned slightly pink. Human eyes wouldn't have been able to see it in the dark, but I could, "Can I sleep with you tonight?"

"Of course you can, Claire Bear," I smiled reassuringly. I don't know why she was embarrassed. It wasn't like it was something out of the ordinary.

She smiled, but then it faltered and slipped away, "A-are you sure? I don't want to make you uncomfortable."

"Honey, what in the world are you talking about?" I questioned.

"It's just, after what happened with Hunter, I don't want you to-"

"To what, Claire? You know you can tell me anything," I spoke softly.

"It's just, after what happened with Hunter, I don't want people to get the wrong idea about me. That's all," she confided.

"Love Bug, I'm not anyone. I'm your imprint. I would never let anything happen to you. Don't you trust me?" I asked, not able to hide the slight hurt that I felt.

"Of course I trust you," she said cupping her hand around my cheek. "More than anyone. Uncle Sam, Aunt Emily, Aunt Leah, even my parents. The wound is still fresh is all."

"It will heal though, I promise. It helps to surround yourself with friends and family you love. I'm talking from experience here. I've had a few broken hearts myself," I finished my speech. I thought I saw something flash in her eyes at the last part, but it was gone before I could properly assess it. "Can we go to bed now?"

She smiled. A real genuine smile, before climbing on top of me. She turned on her side so that she could wrap her arms around my waist. I brought my hands together behind her back and she rested her head in the crook of my neck. "Goodnight, Love Bug," I whispered, but she was already sleeping peacefully.

A/N. Contrary to what you may believe this is not the end. There is one last chapter that will be in Claire's POV. A fair warning though, it will most likely be short.
