Welcome Home-We're Dead

Chapter 6

Eves POV

The wait was painfull. Me, Shane and Michael were sitting in the waiting room of the hospital and all that was making a sound was the TV on the Morganville news channel. Shane was sat in the corner of the room with his head in his hands. I was sat on Michaels knee falling asleep. No one made a sound. Not even a cough or sigh. It was complete silence. Apart from the annoying voice of the news reporter.

I must have fallen asleep because next thing I knew a doctor was walking into the waiting room. Shanes head popped up and so did mine and Michaels. The doctor had a worried face on. Which wasnt a good sign.

'Is she okay? Will she be okay? Please tell me shes okay!' Shane begged. Ive never seen him like this before. So upset. So hurt. And just because of one girl. Well, she wasnt just one girl. She was the girl who has saved our asses many of times before.

The doctor sighed before talking in a low and quiet voice. 'When Claire was first in hospital with Miss. Rosser from the shooting. She looked completely fine. Her blood was fine and her heart beat was fine. But now we have her back we have found that she has internal bleeding where the bullet hit her. It isnt looking good for her, we don't think shes going to make it through the next week. Im sorry.'

No. He couldnt be saying this. He had to be lying! Not Claire, our Claire Bear. Why is it that bad things happen to nice people who care! Fuck this world! I hate it!

I burst into tears as Michael pulled me close to his chest. Shane wasnt moving. He just looked..lost. Not like Shane at all.

About an hour later the doctor told us we could go and see Claire. We went slowly into her room and she was sleeping. Shane went straight to her and took hold of her hand. I didnt expect he would cry. But he did. He was trying to be discrete about it but I saw silent tears running down his cheeks. I couldnt believe Claire might die. Shes done so much for us, she cant leave now. Not now.

Its been 4 days since we heard the news about Claire. She was getting worse. She wont talk. Or move. Or anything. When she is awake, which isnt much, she just stares at us. Mostly at Shane, who stares right back at him. The only thing she has managed to say in the last 2 days are the words 'i love you' and 'it hurts' thats it. Them small words seems like it took a lot out of her, and its killing us all.

Me, Shane and Michael were sat at home sitting silently on the sofa. It just wasnt the same without Claire. The whole house felt different, like the house missed her or something.

Suddenly the house phone rang and everyone looked at Michael. He sighed and got up to answer it. Shane had his eyes locked on Michael.

'Hello?' Michael answered. It was silent for a few minutes then Michaels face went completely..un-Michael.

'We will be there' He said and put the phone down. He turned to me and Shane and said 'We have to go to the hospital, its Claire.'

We rushed to the hospital were we met Claires doctor inside.

'How is she?' I ask. We were stood outside of Claires room but we couldnt see in because the blinds were closed.

'Shes..well..passing on. We thought you might want to be with her.' The stepped aside and let us in the door and there she was. Lay on the bed like she was just a few hours ago. She looked no differnt. Her heart monitor was beeping quite fast which couldnt be such a good thing.

'Oh, Claire..' Shane said and started crying, like proper crying. Which set Michael of. Ive never seen Michael this upset. He really must care about Claire, of course he did! All of us did! We didnt want her to die! Not now! Please!

We all sat around her bed and held her hands. Shane holding her left and me and Michael holding her right, we wanted to savour this moment.

All of a sudden her heart monitor started bleeping really fast. We all knew this was it. The moment we were going to lose our Claire Bear.

Claires heart monitor made a loud long beep and we knew she had gone. Slipped away.

We love you Claire, always. Never forgot that. Rest in peace, beautiful.
