Thank you so much for the reviews.
Sorry about the late update... I just had a bit of a writer's block. I didn't know where I wanted this chapter to go.

He stood at the door and watched the rest decide which room to go in.
Claire decided to break the awkward silence. At this moment in time it's hard to believe that they were all close friends to start with "So, what's happening?"
Michael turned to her and she shrugged. Shane then answered "Well I am not going in a room with any blood-sucker"
Michael Glared at him "Fine, Me and Claire and you and Eve in the rooms"
Michael moved his stuff into the room next to Myrnin's.
Claire looked at Eve and gave her a small smile before following Michael into the room.
He was sat on the bed when she walked in...Wait the bed...one bed? One double bed. Oh crap.
Claire decided to ignore the one bed problem at the moment and decided to sit next to Michael. "You ok?"
"Yeah, I just never thought Shane would hate me that much" He whispered
"Sorry that is my fault" Claire looked down at the floor guilty.
Michael turned to her and put his hand under her chin and lifted her eyes to meet his. Once their eye locked Michael spoke "It's not your fault, I would have protected you all over again if I had to" The sincerity in Michaels voice was what convince Claire the most. She smiled at him, unaware that his hand had moved on to her cheek. Michael face started moving close to hers and she became aware that she could feel his breath on her face as his lips hovered above hers. Was he going to kiss her?
"Claire" He whispered before pressing his lips to hers; she could tell he was hesitant but soon relaxed as she started kissing him back. The kiss was slow and soft and short because of the knock at the door. Claire pulled back and went to answer it.
Thank god once again that she doesn't blush she thought. At the door was Eve which surprised Claire because she forgot about Michaels Girlfriend... Damn.
"Hey Eve, what do you want?" Claire asked with a fake smile on her face.
"Can I talk to you Claire, alone?"
"Sure" Claire turned back to Michael who was still sitting on the bed looking at her "be back later"
"Okay" He replied with a smirk on his face, Claire knew he was thinking about the kiss because so was she. She gave him a smile before following Eve out of the room.
They walked silently down to the main lobby and they sat on a sofa in the corner. The awkward silence seems to have lasted a lifetime before Eve broke it.
"I'm sorry" Eve whispered
"What?"
"I said I'm sorry, I shouldn't have judge you on being a vampire because I know you're the same person just like Michael was. So yeah I'm sorry. Can you forgive me, I'd like my little CB back?"
"Sure" Claire smiled while Eve jumped to hug her.
"So what's happening between you and Michael" Eve said as she pulled back.
"What? Nothing"
"Come on, I know he likes you and I know that you like him. I know we are supposedly going out, but I honestly feel like the connection we once had is gone and so I am thinking of breaking up with him"
"Oh, you have it wrong Michael doesn't like me, I mean he's just taking care of me because of the whole vampire problem" No matter how much I'd like him to like me
"Yeah, whatever just spill, details. I need details girl"
Claire giggled at her antics before telling her of the almost kiss and the resent kiss. She never expected Eve to squeal but she did.
"See that's proof that he likes you"
"No, it isn't"
"Is"
"Isn't"
"Yeah whatever" Eve had a small smile on her face; she looked at Claire before standing up. "I need to talk to Michael about the relationship, you don't mind waiting for me here do you Claire-bear?"
"No I don't mind"
"Thanks"
Eve walked back up to Claire and Michael's room and knocked on the door. Michael came and opened it. Before he got a word out Eve said seriously "We need to talk"
Michael nodded and opened the door fully to let Eve inside. He moved back to sit on the bed while Eve shut the door behind her and sat next to him.
"So, let's talk" Michael started
"I want to break up" Eve said putting it simply
"Okay" Michael simply answered
"I know you like Claire and I think you'll be great together but you have to tell her, not just kiss her"
Michael's head snapped up to Eve "You knew about the kiss"
"Yeah, but it's not why I am breaking up with you. I'm not in love with you. I just love you as a friend"
Eve stood up and walked to the door; before leaving she turned to Michael "Now you just have to tell Claire how you feel" With that said she walked out, Leaving Michael to his thoughts.
Claire sat at the same place Eve left her listening to music on her phone. She couldn't stop smiling she had her friend again. She was ecstatic, although she knew Eve couldn't keep many secret and she had probably told Michael that Claire has a crush on him. Michael wouldn't like her back; the kiss was just a stroke of luck on her part.
"Claire Bear!" She heard Eve shout from the stairs. She took her earphones out and turned her music off before standing up and walking to wear Eve was standing.
"So, did the break up go well?"
"Yeah! It went fine" Eve smiled. Claire rolled her eyes at her and looked at the clock on her phone.
"I think we should get some sleep" Claire mused "I have a feeling Myrnin will wake us up at a stupid time to get driving again"
"Yeah, ok"
With that said they both started walking up the stairs to their rooms; Claire's room was the first room on the floor; with a quick hug and a wave to Eve Claire went in to her room. Michael was laid on the bed with his Lyric book and guitar. Claire smiled at the sight.
"Luck with the new song?" Claire asked breaking Michael out of his thoughts. He looked up and gave her a smile
"Yeah, I think it's coming along fine. Should be done before we get to the studio"
"Good, I was thinking about going to sleep now, Myrnin may wake us up at a stupid time"
"Yeah, I think that's wise" He gave a little Chuckle "You can use the bathroom first"
"Thanks" Claire collected her pyjama's and went into the bathroom to change.
When she went back into the room Michael was already changed; well had pyjama bottoms on. Why can't he wear a shirt, Claire snapped out of her daze and went to put her clothes in her suitcase, not before seeing Michael's smirk.
Michael got into the bed first and pulled away the covers for Claire, she joined him not long after.
"Michael?" Claire whispered once she was comfy
"Yeah?"
"Do you think Amelie will catch...You know who, before we get back"
"Yeah I do, there's no need to worry Claire you have loads of people watching out for you. We all care"
"Thank you Michael, Night" She whispered before Closing her eyes.
"Goodnight, Claire"
I know it might not be as good as the rest but hey we got a kiss.
Please Review.
Once again I'm sorry about the wait.
