The shortest chapter ever. Well, in this story anyways.
Claire shook Steve. It was twelve in the afternoon and she was tired of being alone. Steve didn't wake up, he just shifted. Claire hit him a little. Nothing. "Steve! Get up!" Still nothing. She got up and picked the cat up off the couch. She put the cat on Steve and he woke up when it started scratching him. Claire grabbed the cat before Steve did anything to it.
"Sorry," Claire said, "I couldn't wake you up."
"How long have I been asleep?"
"Long enough." Steve still just sat there. "Come on," she said. "Let's do something."
"Alright." After about half an hour of waiting for Steve to get ready, they went outside.
"Want to go to my house?"
"Sure."
"Well, come on then," she said pulling him away. They walked to Claire's house (which took a while). She noticed both Chris and Jill were home and talking about her. She made Steve go up to her room and she stayed behind to listen in.
"He doesn't sound like a bad kid," Jill was saying, "but I don't know if Claire should be hanging around him. I mean he and his mom are hurting for money . I just don't want her to get hurt."
Chris nodded in agreement, "Yeah. It'll be tough keeping them apart though."
"Yes. We'll have to do something." Claire froze for a second and then quickly ran upstairs.
Steve saw the look on her face and asked, "What's wrong?" She didn't answer, but starting packing a bag instead. He grabbed her arms and made her look at him. She tried to pull away, but couldn't. "What is it?" She explained to him what she had heard. He didn't say anything and Claire pulled away.
"I'll run away," she said, " I know some places-"
"Claire, do you think I'm using you?"
"No of course not."
"Then maybe we should stay away from each other until . oh hell I don't know. Until we can figure something out."
"No, Steve, I don't want that." He kissed her forehead and left. All she could do was cry. Not long after, Claire had to move. She promised herself she would come back and find Steve again.
No, no, no, it's not the end. Unfortunately though, I wont be able to update it again for about five days. I have somewhere to go where I wont be able to type the next part up. Sorry! Don't hate me!! It's not over yet!!
