Eternally Yours
Chapter Three
„You so know me.
Pinch me gently.
I can hardly breathe.
Forever is a long, long time.
But I wouldn't mind spending it by your side.
Tell me, everyday I get to wake up to that smile.
I wouldn't mind it at all" – I Wouldn't Mind – He Is We

It was already Sunday. Midnight. Claire couldn't sleep. She sat in her bed, writing to her notebook, about her feelings taking over her. Her tears were running down to the pages of the written notebook, almost ruining what she wrote. Nobody ever told her about these feelings, how would they actually hurt you in the ass. It was all okay, she was in love before, but this time it was totally different. She never imagined one day, that she will get here. Sitting in the dark and crying because she's in love with her brother. And it indeed, hurt her soo bad.
I know this will never end… Claire thought. And in some place, she dosen't really want it to end. She found a little peace in this mess. As she checked her desk, there was her little dress for the night, she's attending to, with her brother. Another strange situatuion where she has to act normally. After an hour being awake, she decided to try to get some sleep, because Kelly is also making a visit before the evening, to make her make up better.
The morning was alright. Even thought, Claire face was all red, because of crying herself back to sleep. As she looked at herself in the mirror, she put a face mask on, at least, that could hide it a little. And make her to answer to less than two questions in the morning. After that, she walked down, to pour herself a little coffee.
„What's up, beauty guru?" Chris asked while he laughed a bit.
But that laugh was everything for Claire. As she turned around, and silently watched him laughing at her, was everything she could ask for. It already melted her heart.
„Very funny." Claire sighed, as she turned back to her coffee. „You don't mind that Kelly is comming over for a bit, right?"
„Not at all. You're always at her house. Her parents must be annoyed." Chris answered.
„Nah, they're barely at home." Claire sighed. „They're literally only home at the weekends."
„Better than nothing, still." Chris said.
And then, the doorbell rang. Claire looked at the clock, and realized, that she really slept in. It was almost one pm, and Kelly supposed to come around that time. They only have a few hour to get ready then.
„Here she is." Chris let Kelly in.
„Thank you." Kelly said, then walked into the kitchen. „I knew that you've slept in." Kelly laughed as she saw Claire.
„Such an over sleeper." Chris said as he crossed his arms.
„But not everyday, duh." Claire said as she took a síp from her coffee.
„We gotta make that human face out of you, let's go!" Kelly said.
As the girls got up, Kelly took a look at the dress that Claire picked. A little dress, how Claire called it, was a beautiful red long dress. Kelly approved the dress. Claire washed her face, and took off her mask, what helped a little for her, at least.
„How do you want your hair, miss?" Kelly asked, as she showed her the hair straightener.
„Curly is what I preffer now." Claire answered.
„Alright then, lady. Come here and Imma' do it for ya'". Kelly smiled. „So, about the mistery boy? Lets talk about him."
„Nothing much…" Claire sighed.
Her heart started to beat in her throat. She dosen't really want to open about it to Kelly. But she has no chance. She felt how Kelly looked at them two months ago at the gathering at her place.
„I know there is something, tell your best friend about it." Kelly smiled.
„But you have to promise you won't tell anybody about it." Claire turned to face Kelly.
„Pinky promise, girl." Kelly said, as she grabbed another piece of Claire's hair, to curl it.
„It's him." Claire said, as she took a long deep breath.
„Him?" Kelly asked. „What are you talkin' about?"
Claire grabbed her notebook from the drawer, and handed it to Kelly. As Kelly tryied to both curl Claire's hair, and find out who was her secret love, it was an impossibel thing to do. But she tried to keep an eye on it.
„Do you see it now?" Claire asked, while she whispered.
„Claire Redfield." Kelly sighed. „I thought you're talking about someone other. I saw how you looked at him back in October at my gathering with the boys. I knew it."
„Aren't you…?" Claire tryied to get her words together.
„Honey, I will make you look like fire tonight, and if he won't look at you in any other way, then he is definitly gay." Kelly laughed.
Kelly knew everything about how hard their childhood was. Their parents dying in the car crash, and how they had together everything in those years. And how Chris worked so hard for everything, just to make everything to Claire, perfect. And that was one thing she was really thankful for. So she imagined after all these hard years, the only person to rely on, was a way easy to fall for. And she didn't blame her about it. If Claire was happy, Kelly was too.
After an hour, the way too real Claire was ready to steal the spotlight, as Kelly said. She put a lot of fixing spray on her, to not to cry on her way down. Kelly tryied to put an incredible show to make her walk down, to a little slow slong, from another band she really loves. The Reason – Hoobstanks Kelly rushed down ont he stairs, and started the song to blast, while upstairs, Claire tryied to stand in her high heel shoes. She dosen't really love them. But about on time, she finally reached the stairs, and just on perfect time, she walked down. Kelly was all smiling and almost cryied how beautiful her best friend looked like. But the same went towards to Chris. As he saw how beautiful her sister was, something really dropped in him. He couldn't even believe how he never saw any other woman, beautiful, just her little sister. The only woman, who was beautiful to her.
„Did I do a great job?" Kelly smiled at Chris.
„Absolutely." Chris smiled. „You look beautiful, Claire."
„Just like a lot of spray on my face." Claire laughed a little.
„Ready for our long way drive, too?" Chris asked.
„Ready as ever." Claire smiled.
After they took Kelly home, they've started to take their way to another unknown house. Claire was a little scared, and also suprised, when a woman came out of the house, and sat ont he backseat. This couldn't been worster.
„Hi there, we haven't met yet." The girl said.
„No, we haven't." Claire sighed.
„I'm Jill. Jill Valeninte." Jill introduced herself.
„Claire. Claire Redfield." Claire said.
„How lovely you look, I see." Jill said.
Will you ever shut up? Claire asked herself. And admitted, that this will be a fucking long way ride. She was silent all the way to the hotel, where they've held that big dinner, and celebration thing. It was all weird. WHen Chris asked her to make him the company, why would he take another girl, into his car? They're definitly hiding something away from her.
„We will meet inside, I have to catch up, see ya' guys later." Jill smiled and waved, then she was out of sigh now.
„Why did we take here?" Claire asked. These words slipped out of her really quick, and it was really regretting now everything in Claire.
„Her car is broken, so I offered her a ride. Don't worry, her boyfriend will pick her up." Chris answered. „Were you jealous, little girl?"
„I cannot ask a simple question?" Claire asked back, then she turned around. He will notice! Everything will be over from now on! Quick, do something! Claire said to herself.
„Claire, you are strange, for over two month from now on." Chris turned to her. „I need to know if you don't feel alright."
„Everything's fine." Claire answered.
„It doesn't seem like that." Chris sighed. „Tell me. I wanna help you!"
My only chance! Claire said to herself.
She took of her damn hurting high heel shoes, then almost ran onto Chris, and pressed her lips against his. She felt how Chris tryied to push her away, from the first try, but soon after all, Chris let her in, and didn' try to push her away, anymore. It was everything she have dreamt of.
„You can't help… Unless you feel broken like me…" Claire said, as she fought with her tears streaming down her face.
„Claire…" The only thing Chris was able to say, before Claire walked away.
