Chapter 6
Claire's P.O.V
I awoke to the not so pleasant sound of someone vomiting. I looked over to the other side of the bed. Shane was there. As far as I knew, Vampires couldn't vomit. So that left Eve. I ignored the fact that I was only wearing a tight fitted t-shirt and underwear and jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom that was in the hall. Eve was crouched over the toilet breathing heavily with her hair dangled over her face. She hadn't noticed me yet. I sat behind her and pulled her dark hair out of her face. I didn't even care that there was sick in it.
"Eve Honey?" I asked in a mellow tone. I was trying my best to sound calm. But to be honest I was freaked out. In the whole time that I had been living here, I had never seen or heard Eve vomit. Well, except that time we all came home drunk. She opened her mouth to reply but instead was sick again. I shut the bathroom door so the guys wouldn't hear. The last thing Eve would want right now is Shane mocking her. He could be so insensitive some times. Eve started to gasp in air. She tried to shoo me away with her hands but I wasn't going anywhere.
"Eve, Eve?! Are you OK? What's wrong? Was it the burger you ate last night?" I babbled. Eve turned her head to face me. She had mascara all over her eyes. Most of her make-up from last night had been washed off with her tears. Her bottom lip was quivering and her eyebrows had formed an upside down V shape. Her face was dripping with anguish. She grabbed onto me like I was a life raft and she was drowning. Drowning in an ocean of sorrow. Her nails were digging into my back. She kept pulling me tighter. I started humming a melody and rocked her back and forth in my arms.
"Eve, You can tell me. I won't tell anyone." I cooed. She just buried her face into my shoulder and gripped tighter.
"I'm not going anywhere" I promised her. Her red lips parted and she sucked in a deep breath.
"Thank you" She choked. I smiled down at her and hugged her close. Her iPod was lying on the floor. You Can Count On Me came on. How Ironic.
