Chapter 25:
Weeks pass and I help everyone everywhere: Sam I help with his version of the guest list, plus the suits for him and Michael plus anything and everything he wanted (which has been a lot!); Amelie I help with the same, anything and everything; Oliver I help (yes, Oliver needing help) with new names for his coffee; Myrnin I help with… well anything I want to do! I did try to help Michael and Eve, but… well a day after Michael came home for more than sleep – after the dress fittings – they broke up. Something about Michael not being there when she needed him and that it wouldn't have worked anyway – she was never going to be a vampire and him human so they wouldn't last.
She moved out last week, and Shane did too: they are staying in Lauren's house, she paying rent and Shane just being with Lauren. Michael had been depressed since they broke up, not playing music and unless someone is talking, or he has something to do, he just sits there staring into space. He peaked up when Sam spoke to him about moving on with his life, and since then Michael has been playing music almost constantly – driving me mental.
In fact, he plays so much now, writing a new album, that I spend most of my time at Myrnin's – after I recalibrated the door so that no noise from the Glass House could get through: it's amazing how loud an acoustic guitar really is!
And here I am, in the bed in Myrnin's room, completely and utterly relaxed. I can now, after a month of lessons, trust Myrnin to cook bacon and eggs without causing a fire, injuring himself or destroying any more appliances (5 cookers, 4 toasters and 7 microwaves didn't make it). This means that I can stay in the most comfortable bed in the world for longer whilst the man I love prepares breakfast.
Before I thought I would be with him forever. However now, I know I wasn't ready then – I just thought I felt that because we were new in a relationship and it was so overwhelming. Now I know I can be with him forever and not regret a single thing. I love him so much and I cannot imagine my life for a day without him.
I need the toilet so I get up before Myrnin comes through with my breakfast, stretching out all my muscles. I take a step and then I cannot breathe, there is something majorly wrong with my throat, I cannot BREATHE, I CANNOT BREATHE! My hands go to my throat to try and massage air in but I can't. my body feels so tired and ready to collapse and I cannot breathe! My circulation feels as if it is slowly dropping off and I collapse to the ground heavily, staring into space, unable to breathe, unable to breathe, but able to hear everything going on…
Sorry for the cliffie – what do you think is happening? What's wrong with Claire?
Review please – 7 reviews and I will update soon – I said this last chapter but it carries over!
Sorry for the length – it's a cliffhanger remember!
