Chapter 12

Shannon looked over and saw Claire. She quickly wiped the tears from her eyes; she hated when people saw her cry.

Claire walked over to her and embraced her in a comforting hug.

"Oh Shan. He's just an ass. He's not even close to good enough for you." Claire said, trying to comfort her friend.

"How could he do this to me. He told me he loved me! And with that bitch too!" Shannon was angry now. She began screaming. "I hate her so much! I hate them both!" She was yelled even though they both knew she still loved him, no matter how much it hurt.

Claire hated seeing her friend like this. She wished there was something, anything, she could do to make her happy again. But she knew it wasn't that simple.

Shannon suddenly stood up. "I'm going to get back to Boone." She explained, trying to escape her pain with her concern for her brother.

"Alright, you know where you can find me if you need me. I'm here for you Shan, whenever you need me. You know that right?" Claire said, still worried about Shannon.

"Yeah, Thanks Claire" She answered, greatful she had a friend like Claire. She exited the tent and headed off to the caves.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Claire left the tent shortly after and ran into Sawyer on her way to her tent. She considered flat out ignoring him but decided that she had to talk to him.

"You broke her heart, you know" Claire said confronting him.

"I know" Sawyer answered sadly. "I'll regret it forever. The last thing I wanted to do was hurt her"

Claire noticed how much pain he was in because he lost Shannon and the pain of hurting her. "Then why'd you do it?" She asked.

"She jumped me. I was choppin' wood for Sticks so she could stay with Metro in the caves and she came and jumped me" He tried to explain.

Claire wanted so badly to believe him but she saw what she was.
Or did she? He seemed really devastated by it all.

"Look Sawyer. I think--" Claire began.

"Where is she? I need to talk to her again" He decided, interupting Claire.

"I don't think that's such a good idea. I think you should just give her some-"

"Where is she?" He asked, interupting her again.

"-space" Claire finished, then giving up, answered his question. "She's with Boone at the caves. But you really should give her some space"

Claire's advice wasn't heard. As soon as he heard the word 'caves' he was on his way there.

Claire sighed and shook her head. Hopefully Shannon was ready to see him again.
