Chapter 9
Claire's POV
Ryan pulled up outside of the Glass House, behind Eve's big hunk of a car. "Were here" Ryan sighed. We all got out and walked up the path. I knocked on the door twice and took a step back. "Claire-Bear" Eve squealed, jumping on me. I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her. "So we coming in or what?" I laughed. "Of course" Eve giggled. We walked in and Joseph came behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. I smiled up at him and he kissed my forehead. "Oh my god, you have to tell me everything" Eve jumped up and down and clapped her hands like a five year old. "Michael" Eve shouted. Michael was down in a blink of an eye. Then Shane trudged down after him. We locked eyes and then he broke it by looking at Joseph.
"Guys, I want you to meet, Joseph and Isabel, Issy, Joseph, they are Eve and Shane" I introduced them. "Well then why don't we all go and sit in the room" Michael said, motioning towards the living room.
Everyone got settled on the sofa/chair/floor. "Are you going to tell them?" Joseph whispered in my ear. "I will now" I told him. "Hey guys … um … well, I … I am … I am pregnant" I stuttered out. Everyone was silent until Shane jumped up and ran upstairs. "Congrats man" Ryan said, getting up and giving Joseph a 'man hug' while Issy gave me a hug whispering her congrats. "I'm going to be an auntie" Eve screamed, coming out of her trance. She jumped up and gave me a hug. "I am going to be an auntie right?" Eve asked worried. "Of course" I laughed. Michael gave me a hug and shook Joseph's hand.
Shane's POV
When Claire told everyone that she was pregnant, I felt angry, upset and kind of betrayed. I ran upstairs and went into Claire's room. Before she came here I wrote a letter telling her what happened between me and Casey and how sorry I am.
When I saw Claire downstairs I noticed how much she had changed. Her hair is now dyed black with bright blue highlights, she had black eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara on, but not so much that she looked like Eve. She was wearing a black vest top with denim shorts and what looked like black killer heels. Then I saw Joseph and it crush all the hope I had left.
I got up off the floor, grabbed the letter and walked downstairs. Everyone was laughing and talking, having a good time. I cleared my throat and everyone turned to look at me. "Um … Claire, can I talk to you a minuet. Please?" I asked. "Okay" she said getting up. "Claire" Joseph said, pleading with his eyes for her to stay. "I'll be fine, I'll call you if something happens" She told him, giving him a little kiss.
Claire's POV
He walked into the kitchen with me right behind him. He stopped and turned to look at me. "Claire, I need to give you something" he said, holding out a piece of folded paper. I took a step towards him and took it out of his hand. "What is it?" I asked. "A letter Claire, if you get any time alone can you read it please" he begged me. "Okay" I nodded. I turned and walked into the living room. "Do you mind if I run upstairs into my old room, I think I left something here?" I asked. "Of course" Michael smiled. I ran up the stairs quickly before anyone could come up with me. Once I got to my old room, I walked in and looked around, to find everything neat and tidy as I left it but of course somebody had made the bed. I reached into my front pocket and pulled out the letter and sat on the bed.
'Dear Claire,
I don't know if you will read this but I need to tell you what happened the day you left me, Eve and Michael.
I was sat killing zombies when I heard a knock on the door. I got up and answered it to find Casey there crying. I invited her and she told me that you and her had a big argument and that you told her that the only place you would be going is hell. I didn't believe her because I knew that you wouldn't say something like that. When I asked her why did she come to me she caught me by surprise by kissing me. I pushed her away and told her that I couldn't because I love you and that you mean the world to me but she still wouldn't give in, so I thought what could one kiss do? But then we went to far and you ended up walking in on us. I tried to push her away but she clung on me and kissed me and then turned to look at you.
I am really sorry Claire, you can call me all the names under the sun if you would like but I still would feel like a total dick head for what I done. I still love you Claire, and it breaks my heart to be away from you.
Please forgive me
Shane x'
A sob erupted from my chest. I then remembered that I was sat on the bed that my best friend seduced my boyfriend in. I got up just to crumble back down on the floor sobbing. When I finally got control of myself, I got up and walked to the mirror, to fix my make-up. When I walked downstairs everyone was silent.
When I rounded the corner everyone was staring at Amelie. "Amelie" I stated, with a weird feeling of joy in me. "Hello Claire, congratulations for you and Joseph" she smiled warmly at me. I smiled back and extended my arms for a hug, which she took. When we took a step back away from each other, she looked me up and down. "Well if I must say you have changed, it's very what do you call it nowadays … trendy" she said proud of herself. "Thank you" I laughed. "Right, I just want to say that you, Ryan, Isabel and Joseph all have my protection" she nodded at each of us. "Thank you" Issy said. "No problem, well I best be off, goodbye everyone" she smiled at me again. "Goodbye Amelie" I sighed. Then she was gone in a flash.
Michael's POV
"So" Eve said to brake the awkward silence. Joseph got up and wrapped Claire into a hug. "You okay?" he whispered into her ear. "Yeah, just a bit tired" she lied but Joseph fell for it. Claire sighed only just loud enough for me to hear. Claire looked at me and I could tell that she knew that I knew that she was lying. "I'll tell you later" she mumbled under her breath. I nodded my okay and Eve noticed. "I'll tell you later" I said, quoting Claire.
After an hour or so everyone left. "Shane" I shouted. He came downstairs and plopped himself down on the sofa. "What?" he asked. "What the hell was that?" I questioned him. "What was what?" he asked confused. "Claire, went upstairs read what ever you gave her and then ended up crying her eyes out" I shouted. He was sat there playing with his fingers ignoring me. "You going to tell me what it was?" he shrugged like it was no big deal. "If your not going to tell me, I'm going to ring Claire" I threatened lamely. "Go on then bloodsucker" he waved me off with one hand. "When did you become the queen?" I joked. "I thought you had to ring someone" he said way to seriously. "Eve, I'm popping out for an hour" I shouted. "Okay, be careful" I heard her say.
Claire's POV
Joseph and me were making out when someone knocked on the door. "I'll get it" Issy shouted. I heard the door open then, I heard a gasp, and I pulled away from Joseph and got up to see who it was. When I got to the door I gasped, I didn't know whether to be scared or shocked.
So who do you think is at the door?
