Shane's POV
I looked at Claire, she looked nervous. I knew what she was thinking. Would he like it? I could just see the question in her eyes. Whatever she got me, I would like it, even if it was something that I didn't really like. Does that make any sense?
I struggled to open the paper, it was the shiny kind that you couldn't rip. Eventually I got it open. Inside was a little box with a note from Claire. I knew it was from Claire, just by the handwriting.
Happy Birthday Shane!
I hope you'll have a fabulous birthday.
You know I'll always be there for you.
Claire xxxxx
I looked up at her and smiled. She really was sweet. "Thanks Claire." I said sounding all soppy. Really, what was up with me?
I pried the lid of the box off. Inside was a beautiful bracelet with our initials carved on it. SC + CD 4EVER. It was beautiful. I could get the words out to thank her; I just took her hand.
I don't know how long we sat there. Eve and Michael had gone upstairs; I could hear Eve squealing and soft thumps on the floor. Seriously, they needed to get a room.
I didn't realise that the Eve and Michael soundtrack had stopped until Eve walked into the kitchen and straight to the fridge. She glanced at us. I heard her mutter something under her breath.
"Excuse me." I said. "But it i wasn't us who was..." I left the sentence unfinished.
She gave me a dirty look, then grinned evilly. "We're going out, get ready."
"Hey, how come I don't get a say in this?"
"It's your birthday, genius. We're going out. Unless you'd rather stay here."
I gave her the 'later' look and went to get ready. Unlike Eve it took me five minutes, not five hours. I just changed into some casual clothes, jeans and a t-shirt, and rolled on some deodrant.
Ta-da! It's not rocket science.
Downstairs, I found out that we were going to one of Morganville's not-so-good parties. It wasn't really my taste, but I didn't want to rain on Eve's parade.
But the party turned out even worse than I thought it would. Even worse than it ever had. And we've had some pretty bad parties...
What do you think? Please R&R, even though you've probably already read it, maybe? As usuall good and bad reviews welcomed, I would love to hear your opinion. I will upload the next chapter when I have at least 10 reviews.
Thanks for reading (if you read it and didn't just skip to the bottom).
And thank you to Claire Collins for your great idea's for Shane's birthday present, it's very much appreciated.
