I DO NOT OWN THESE CHARACTERS ; THEY BELONG TO THE AMAZING RACHEL CAINE !!

Claire was still a little surprised and confused at what the middle aged women had said to her , she had insisted that she give Taylor a chance, but the problem was she had never seen this women before and was sure if she did know Taylor they hadn't known each other for long. Claire stood outside the living room door, should I tell them, she thought, then she remember the way Shane feels about all of this and decided not to. She slowly made her way back into the room where Eve was lounging on the sofa with Michael and Shane was playing some zombie brain eating people killing game, Claire plastered a smile on her face as she sat on the armchair.

"Who was that", both Michael and Shane said at the same time.

"Hey man , that's my line as the boyfriend"

"Yeah and it's my line as the Landlord and close friend"

Shane just flips him off and paused his game, he looks at Claire and she doesn't look him in the eye, instead she pretends to be busy sorting her study books out.

"Claire…" Shane says moving closer to her. "Claire please, look at me, what's wrong"?

Claire's mind races should I tell him, should I keep it to myself, these two thoughts running in her mind over and over again. But she looks at Shane and knows know matter how much she smiles he can tell there's something she's not telling him.

"Claire-"

"It's nothing don't worry yourself", Claire try's her smile again, knowing that everything about her outside is false. Shane try's to push the subject further but Claire lies and tells him she was just here to inform Claire that she should work harder and be on time more. Claire new that was a stupid thing to come up with, I mean why would a women come all the way to her house just to tell her that she needs to work hard and be on time. But Shane believed her because he had promised to believe her and trust her. Now she just felt like a lousy liar who didn't deserve to have such good friends.

She went upstairs because by the stares she was getting off Eve she knew that Eve didn't believe her and she hated having to think about how hurt Eve must be for being lied to.

Claire, know that she was alone could really think, she pasted up and down her room.

"Why would that women come and tell her to give Taylor a chance? , Why is he even here?, Why was he with Amelie ? and why wont he leave her alone? " Claire whispered to herself.

All these questions and know answers, it frustrated Claire she hated Taylor for even coming here, he had know right !, or did he ?

Claire was just lay on her bed thinking about everything when her train of thought was interrupted by a knock at the door, Claire didn't move she just wanted to be alone, but she had forgotten to lock the door and the door slowly opened and Eve crept in and closed the door locking it this time. Claire gulped because Eve looked deathly serious.

"Ok, what's going on"?

"Eve I-"

Oh I am so evil yes for leaving it there…. Sorry guys J
