Claire: I'm back.

Claire: I had to think of what to put in the next chapter.
Scott: Ok, I'll let you off.
Claire: Thank you Scott.
Virgil: We hope you like the chapter.
chapter 7
It's been four months and Claire was out of the wheelchair, but she has to sit down when her back was hurting her. Right now the boys were on a mission, Emma and Claire were in the kitchen making pizza and cookies for everyone, Claire asked.
"How are things with you and Virgil?"
Emma turns to Claire in shock.
"How did you know?"
"I've noticed how you two are around each other"
"We are doing great... what about you and Gordon?"
Claire looks away.
"I haven't seen him much and when I do he go's off with Alan"
"Have you tried talking to him?"
"Yes but he says he can't talk"
"Oh Claire I'm sorry"
"It doesn't matter I'm going over to England tomorrow"
Emma was in shock.
"Why?"
"I need a break and I can't be around Gordon right now"
"I understand"
The boys returned home an hour later and sat down for lunch with everyone else except for Claire who went to her room and shut her door. A few hours later there was a knock at her bedroom door, She gets up and opens the door to find Scott standing there, she walks back out to the balcony and Scott follows her and sits next to her, he asked.
"Claire how are you feeling?"
"Like my head is spinning and my heart is breaking"
"Come here"
Scott wraps his arms around her and she just cried, after Claire calmed down she says.
"Thank you Scott"
"Your welcome"
Scott's thoughts.
I'm going to have to have a word with my brother, if Claire was my girlfriend I wouldn't treat her how Gordon is treating her.
Scott was brought out of his thoughts.
"Scott can you take me to England?"
"Of course I can"
"Thank you Scott"
"Your welcome"
They talked until Scott had a rescue mission to go on, Claire packed some clothes. Claire was going to go to Emma's room but thought she better not, she got changed and climbed into bed. Scott got back around midnight he checked on Claire then to his room and got charged, he left his door open incase Claire woke up screaming. Claire was having a nightmare, moving her head from side to side and she was wet throuth with sweat.
The nightmare.
She was running looking for somewhere to hide.
"You can run but you can't hide"
She keeps running then she see's a building and heads for the building, she runs inside and into a room to hide. Someone walks in and says.
"I know your in here, come out, come out wherever you are"
She stays where she is hoping he wouldn't find her but he does, she trys to run but he grabs her and throws her to the floor, she looks up at him in fear and she says.
"Please don't, please just let me go"
He just smile's and he beats her, she says.
"Stop, please stop"
Claire sat up quickly and screams.
"STOP!"
Scott heard her and went out to the hallway to see if Gordon heard and would go to her. Gordon did hear but he choose to ignore her, Scott went to Claire's room and over to her side and hugs her, he noticed that she was wet through with sweat and got her a change of pj's and handed them to her, after she changed Scott lays down next to her and Claire puts her head on his chest, Scott wraps his arms around her and she fell back to sleep. Claire woke up the next morning and Scott looks down, he had been a wake for an hour and he says.
"Good morning Claire"
"Good morning Scott"
"Let's go down for breakfast"
"Ok"
They both left Claire's room and went down to the kitchen to find Jeff, Emma, Virgil, Alan and Gordon. Jeff says.
"Good morning Claire, Scott"
They both reply together.
"Good morning"
Claire didn't look at Gordon and Jeff was about to ask but Scott shakes his head no. After breakfast Claire went back to her room to take a shower and got changed, Gordon was down at the beach with Alan when they see TB1 in the sky, they didn't know that Scott was taking Claire to England. It didn't take long to get to England, Claire was staying with Lady Penelope. Claire didn't know when she was going to go back to Tracy Island.
Virgil: Poor Claire, I hope Gordon will realize what he's lost.
Scott: Me too, but someone will have to talk to Gordon.
Virgil: Where is Claire? (looks around)
Claire: I'm right here. (she sits in between Scott and Virgil)
Scott: We hope you like it.
Claire: I'll try and update soon.
Virgil: Claire doesn't own Thunderbirds.
Scott: Or their characters.
