Chapter 5

Claire's P.O.V

I hadn't seen Shane in 3 days, id been in Myrnin's lab trying to discover a way to get back to the glass house, so far we had came up with . . . . . . . . . . . nada! There has to be a way surely I cant be stuck here for no reason.

I decided to give Myrnin a break he was trying hard and I wasn't helping in anyway, shape or form so I went to the university and went to the coffee house and just watched Eve, even with the loss of me she still managed a smile while pulling espresso shots and serving, I had to admire her strength I think anyone else would have crumbled by now.

Someone sat beside me and I didn't think anything of it cause well I'm dead and nobody can bloody talk to me! I'm starting to feel lonely, had I still been able to breathe I think I would have screamed in frustration! Then to my utter astonishment she spoke to me!

"I know what you are"

"Are you talking to me? How can you see me? Oh my god can you help me?" she had to stifle her laugh and she just looked at me.

"Claire one thing at a time, yes I am talking to you do you see any other ghosts in this cafeteria? I'm what you might call . . . . . . . . erm well I guess gifted? Sometimes it's a pain in the butt but sometimes I can be of assistance and finally I really don't know if I can help you or not you want your life back and I don't know if I can help you with that"

"How did you know my name?"

"Oh that's easy there were all these pictures of you hanging up all over the place when you first died and I just remember your face"

"I'm still amazed you can see me!" she rolled her eyes at me.

"It's not that big a deal Claire"

"No it really is I haven't spoken to another person in months I was going crazy in my own mind! Hey you know my name, what's yours?"

"Oh I'm sorry where are my manners? My name is Isis"

"Nice to meet you Isis" and then Shane walked in and every single girl in the campus cafeteria turned to look at my man! Our table was the only one left after he spoke quickly to Eve he came over – "hey do you mind if I sit here?" Isis's jaw literally dropped, "erm no not at all please feel free to take a seat"

"My name is Shane, Shane Collins" he held out his hand for her waiting for her to take it and shake it but all she did was catch flies! I sat next to her and said "damnit Isis shake his hand and stop gawking at my boyfriend!"

"Oh right hey sorry erm Shane Collins right? My names Isis" and she gave him her sweetest smile they just sat and talked for a few hours and I sat and watched listening to there chatter – he kept talking about me "My girlfriend Claire did this, my girlfriend Claire done that" I felt awful he was still talking about me to anyone that would listen and Isis listened very well she laughed and giggled when she was meant too and she teared up when she was meant too and was just a wonderful help to the man I love. After a while Shane turned to her, "hey Isis what you doing tonight?"

"Nothing much got an assignment I should get done but that's about it, why?"

"Well I really feel like this little therapy session helped, I'd love it if you would maybe come over and ill make my world famous chilli and we can maybe sit and chat I know Eve and Michael have many, many storied to share about Claire and you seem genuinely interested and it's a free meal so you cant turn it down!" I was next to her in an instant and I whispered in her ear ( i have no idea why its not like anyone could hear me!) "Oh please go meet my friends Eve and Michael would be so happy"

"I would really appreciate that Shane thank you, what time and where?"

"Say around 7:30? I know its late but we have a spare room your more than welcome to for the evening?"

"That sounds great Shane thanks"
