Eternally Yours

Chapter Twenty

„It's so hard to find someone
Who cares about you,
But it's easy enough to find someone
Who looks down on you" – Someone Who Cares – Three Days Grace

Disclaimer: I do not own the song, neither Resident Evil. I'm only trying to cope during these hard days. It's never gone, even when it is, actually gone…

That little black box. Made them feel really excited, but not that excited. Then it all hit Claire in all of a sudden. She was thinking of something important and more, but then she came back to earth.

„It's unpossible." She spoke first.

„What?" Leon asked back.

„I was thinking of what all the girls could think of, you know." Claire sighed. „Engagement."

„Oh, I got you." Leon sighed. „But why not?"

„Chris isn't that type of a man." Claire explained. „He didn't even want to settle down with Wesker when they were all crazy about eachother, you know."

„But as I know, it wasn't their first time together." Leon said.

He really hit a hard rock with that in Claire. She didn't like to talk about those years. When she was a kid, and didn't know a thing about love, just Chris. And that she was all heart eyes for her own big brother. And nothing changed over the years, just she matured a lot, and now carrying their illegal kid. To welcome it, to a cruel world.

„No…" Claire sighed. „They dated back in middle school."

„In middle school?" Leon gasped. „So that's why they've always called them the dream couple."

„Not so dreamy after all." Claire laughed. „Look at all the versions we have of Wesker's plan of destroying us."

„Okay don't count that in, but pretty sure he was a lot nicer way back." Leon said.

„I don't remember." Claire laughed. „They never spent time here, so I missed those finally."

And how great she did. She always spent time at Kelly's place. Not to be around Wesker. Was she jealous? Maybe she was, just didn't show that much. The nights she had to spend alone, in the big house listening to the air moving outside, was scary for her, and it always be, because, still, there are nights when she's all alone, and sleeping to the sound of air. And never thinked of it now, until. How every little step, every little word and action made her fall for Chris more and more over the time. How bad she wanted to tell everything to him, but she couldn't, because she would ruin his happiness. How she cheered with him, whenever she could, just to see him happy. It was everyhting she ever owned now. And how that last year's accident helped her realize that it was Chris. All along Chris. No any other person, just Chris. And now, there's no way back. She wanted to do one more thing to be clear with herself, then she would let it go, forever.

„Take me to this place." Claire showed her phone to him.

It was a cemetary, where their parents were resting. It is a crazy idea, but it has to happen. It's been ages since Claire visited their parents. Leon sat in the car, while Claire walked inside. She saw everything happening, like it was yesterday. The last walk, they've took their parents on. She let a long sigh out, then walked. Walked to those two graves, but suddenly stopped, becasue she saw someone. It was strange, nobody comes around, as she know it. She couldn't see it, so she waited a few minutes for that person to be away, then walked to the graves. She put those two red roses down, then looked at the graves.

„I'm a dissapointment to you, I know." Claire sighed. „I wish I could be at your place now."

It is what she wished for. Because she knew, she would be dead for sure. Either way, if this would happen now, while they're alive.

„You are having your first grandchildren. I came to tell you this." Claire wiped away her tears. „But it's not from a healthy way…"

She started to cry. Like she would actually stand up and tell everything to her parents, to wait for the bug damn turn to hurt her, or even slap her.

„I'm sorry mother, sorry father…" Claire said. „I'm carrying my brother's children."

Like a relief what flew away from her shoulders, and from her heart, to say. She looked up, then took a long breath from the air. It turned to cold suddenly, like her parents would gave an answer to her.

„I know it's not right!" Claire screamed. „There's nothing you can do now! I love him and you won't take away him from me!"

Claire heard some noises comming around, so she put her head down, and tryied to not to look like an idiot. But that person walked straight up to her, and put their hand on her shoulder.

„I'm trying to have a moment, leave me." Claire whispered.

„I've heard everything…" The voice said.

Claire turned around to face up with Wesker. The last thing she wanted was to see Wesker. She wanted to hit him and scream at him, in her anger, to stop her honest moment.

„I've hated them, to be honest…" Wesker said.

„I know, and you've got your reason for it." Claire said. „They were mean to you."

„Not to me only, but to Chris too…" Wesker sighed. „Don't worry. No one will know about it."

„It's the least you can do." Claire whispered, as she turned away.

„Wait, Claire…" Wesker said.

„What do you got more to say to me, huh?" Claire asked back. „Taking my love from me? For all those years?! I was in his life more than you were, you left him for almost 14 years, I was the one to stand with him, and this made me realize how fucking mad I am in love with him! Why do you need to take him always away from me?!"

Claire started to cry again. This time everything hit her harder than the usual. She just wanted to be on the floor, to cry for hours, but she was already weak enough. Wesker reached his hand out for Claire, to help her to stand up. This wasn't the reason he was out in this specific cemetary. He had other buisness to do.

„I knew it, Claire." Wesker said.

„What do you know?" Claire asked back.

„How much you love him." Wesker answered. „I've heard you, building up your power to face your death parents to tell them everything. I would never be able to do it."

„What are you trying to say with this?" Claire asked back, again.

„I was the one who didn't want to go to his place. I knew about your feelings. As I saw you. And everything. And was so sure in that one day, or another way this will be returned to you." Wesker explained. „After all those year being alone, and missing him, then getting him back made me realize, those years happened for a reason."

„You knew it all the time?" Claire gasped.

„If you ever loved someone so much, you understand to see the forbidden one's." Wesker said.

They weren't enemies from now on. They kept those secrets inside, just for the two of them. Two souls what loved one, but only one of them could get that soul, to match with.

After this talk, what Wesker did, was unexpected. As he returned to his office, he grabbed all his little notebooks, and teared them all apart, then throwed them into the trash. No more revenge. No more pity games. Time to focus on himself, to be more clever, next time.

A/N: What an interesting turn, right? It was inspired by my thoughts, and how desperate I wanna go to the cemetary now, but I cannot. So why not? Don't worry about that little black box, it will come back, I promise.

Today my all time dream came true. I have officially published my fresh written word to be a book. I am an official author finally. I cannot believe how far I got!
