Hey. So I didn't get any reviews for my last chapter which has made me a little bit sad though I will not hold back another chapter. This one was really hard for me to write and had to stop half way through to have a tiny cry. So hopefully you guys all enjoy it. For this chapter I want to say a big thank you to my new beta reader Emeraldeyes1994, who helped me to notice mistakes and to Silvertongued, who helped me get this finished. These two ladies in their own rights are awesome authors, so please check out their stories. This chapter was inspired by 'Feels like home' by Edwina Hayes. Enjoy

If you knew how lonely my life has been

And how long I've been so alone

And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along

And change my life the way you've done

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me

It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me

It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

Claire left the Bio room in a daze. Giles was an excellent Biology teacher and Claire looked forward to future lessons with him. Claire felt someone tap her on the shoulder and she spun round quickly to look. Giles put his hand in front of his face and Claire then noticed that she had her hand in a fist. She put her hand down quickly and said quietly

"I'm so sorry" Giles coughed slightly and pushed his glasses up his nose before speaking

"It's fine. I just wanted to talk to you about your work Miss Danvers. You have an exceptionable mind" Claire smiled before saying

"Thank you" Giles smiled back before saying

"If I'm truthful Claire, I think you are too advanced for this class. If you wanted more advance work or one on one tutoring" Claire rearranged her backpack before replying

"Sure. If you're doing an advanced class, I would love to join" Giles smiled and turned his back on Claire. Claire smiled as she walked out and started towards home.

Claire leaned back in her seat and sighed. Andrew joined her on the sofa and asked

"Does Shane always make that much chilli?" Claire laughed before replying shortly

"Always" Shane sat in the armchair and sighed before asking

"So how was college today?" Claire smiled and replied

"It was good. Biology started again and we have a new professor called Rupert Giles" Claire started to continue until she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. She took it out and looked at the display. She pressed a button and said happily

"Hey mom" Claire got up and walked upstairs into her room.

Claire opened the front door and called out

"Hey mom" She shut the door behind her. She looked to the side and noticed some flowers on the table. She picked up the card and began to read it. She smiled at the words inside and said quietly

"Still a couple of guys getting it right" Claire put the card down and called out again

"Hey flower-getting lady. Want me to pick Dawn up from school?" Claire waits for a reply before calling out hesitantly

"Mom?" Claire looked down the hall before turning around and facing the living room. Claire looked at the women lying on the flower patterned coach and begins to walks towards her. She smiles and says

"Oh. Mom, what are you doing?" As Claire steps closer, her smile fades.

"Mom?" The woman doesn't move and Claire try's one more time

"Mommy?" When the woman doesn't respond, Claire rushes to her side and try's to shake her awake

"No. mom, mom, mom" Claire snaps and finally shrieks

"MOM" Claire turns and runs through into the kitchen, before picking up a phone and dialling a number. She walks slowly back into the living room and begins to move closer to the body. The phone clicks and a voice on the other end begins to speak

"911 emergency" Claire gasps and clutches the phone

"Hello"

"Do you have..." Claire cuts in

"It's my mom. She's not breathing"

"Is she unconscious?"

"I can't. She's not breathing"

"Okay. I need to you to give me your address" Claire paused for a moment before asking

"What?" The voice on the other end remains calms as she explains

"I'm going to send an ambulance over" Claire stammers as she recites the address

"1630 Revallo. It's a, a house. Revallo near Hadley"

"I'm sending a unit it over right away. Are you alone in the house?"

"Yes"

"And did you see what happened? Did she fall?"

"No I came home… What can I do?"

"Do you know how to administer CPR?"

"I, I don't remember"

"Okay, it's very simple. You want to tilt your mother's head back. Cover her mouth with yours and breathe into her mouth"

"Yeah, Yeah I know this" Claire dropped the phone and rushed to her mom's side. She began to start and as she pushed down on her chest, a loud crack was heard. Claire dropped her hands and rushed back to the phone.

"Oh god. Something cracked. I did it too hard. Are you there?"

"Hello"

"Something broke"

"Is she breathing?" Claire tried to stop tears from falling and replied

"NO"

"Paramedics should be there in a moment. You might have cracked a rib. It's not important"

"She's cold" There was a pause before they replied

"The body is cold?"

"No mom. Should I warm her?" The voice came calmer and a chill went through Claire

"No if she's not responding to the CPR , best thing is to wait for the paramedics, okay?"

"Well, when are they coming?"

"They're very nearby" Claire closed her eyes and when she opens them the paramedics are in front of her, kneeling over her mother. One of them stood up and turned to face her

"I'm sorry but I have to tell you that your mother is dead"

Claire woke up screaming, tears streaming down her face. Shane had his hands gripped around her wrists and was trying to hold her back. The door swung open and Eve and Michael came rushing in. Eve walked over to Claire and tried to calm her down

"Claire, you need to breathe. Come on tell me what's wrong?" Claire began to shake her head

"She dead" she whispered. Eve looked over at Shane, who shrugged his shoulders in confusion. Eve looked Claire in the eyes and said

"Claire bear, who is dead?" Claire looked at Eve and furrowed her eyebrows in confusion

"My mom. She's dead and I broke a rib" Eve looked over at Michael, who walked over to Claire and kneeled down to her level and said calmly

"She isn't dead. You talked to her on the phone before you went to bed" Claire looked at Michael in confusion and reached for her phone. The room was silent as Claire dialled her mom's number.

"Mom, hey. Are you ok?" Claire paused for a moment before saying "Yeah ok. I'll come and see you tomorrow. I love you" Shane took Claire into his arms and began to stroke her hair. Claire stopped crying and began to slowly fall asleep in Shane's arms. Eve sighed and sat next to him on the bed.

"Why were you holding her back?" Shane ran a hand over his hair and said

"I was asleep and I felt this scratching on my arms. So I woke up, she's scratching my arms and crying in her sleep. She wouldn't stop and I didn't know what else to do" Michael got up and stretched.

"We'll find out what happened tomorrow. Let's just let her sleep" Eve and Michael left the room and Shane slowly leaned back, bringing Claire back to rest against his chest.
