Don't kill me but I'm gonna eventually make this a ClairexShane x

Monica isn't as slutty as she was before Claire left Morganville in fact she's more or less normal now. And I decided to keep Monica's parents alive; I think they died in the book when the storm came? I'm not sure.

Claire's POV

Monica and I were watching some chick flick when the doorbell rang, it was 21:32, I honestly don't know who that would be (Well, unless your Myrnin sending a parcel to the postman to send at night) I gave Monica a confused look which she returned then Louisa walked in.

"Monica that'll will be the cousins." She said and went to answer the door. Monica's cousins were the other bride maids and they weren't supposed to be here for another 1 hour from their flight.

Monica stood up the get the door with Louisa whilst I stayed and watched the film. I could hear squealing and talking before it eventually died down and Monica walked back in with 3 other girls behind her.

One looked about 6 years old with blonde hair and blue eyes; the other was in her teens and had blonde hair and blue eyes. The last one was probably my age but with auburn hair and brown eyes. They sat on the opposite sofa with their bags at the side.

"Claire, this is Poppy, Mae and Elle." Monica said pointing out her cousins in age order the youngest – Poppy waved at me a flashed a small smile, I waved back at her. The eldest – Elle came and embraced me.

"It's great to meet you Claire, Monica tells us loads about you." She said smiling. I giggled at her and hugged her back. Mae smiled at me and pulled Poppy onto her lap.

"Monica hasn't let me see any of the bride maid dresses yet." I complained, Mae laughed whilst Elle replied: "I know she hasn't shown us either!" we all erupted into laughter. I knew I'd become close to Elle and her sisters.

Poppy was sitting on the floor playing with the buttons on her cardigan; I began to lead Elle to her room whilst Monica entertained the other two.

"So were you born here?" Elle asked me, as we walked up the flight of stairs.

"No, I only came to Morganville to study physics and get my honours; I met Monica but then left Morganville a few years back." I replied.

"So, where were you born?" Elle asked me as we entered one of the guest rooms, I sat on the bed and Elle sat beside me, I decided to tell her the whole story.

"Well, I was born in Hereford in England; I got my GCSE's and then came to Morganville to study physics in more depth. I moved in with these 3 other people, two of them were my best friends and the other was my boyfriend, but he dumped me and caused me to leave Morganville." I stopped; it was too painful to continue.

"Hey, Claire, it's ok, he can't hurt you no more." Elle smiled at me and rubbed my back gently, I was starting to wonder if she was a therapist.

I took a deep breath and continued: "I left 5 minutes later and drove to Oklahoma within the week, I then catched a plane to Washington where my aunt lives. She then took me back to Hereford where my parents were. After a month of living with them I started going mad, I had to see a psychologist for 6 months. Then I went to Oxford University, studied dance acting. I then went on to music and modelling and got degrees in each one. – I signed with universal records and Gucci. For 4 years then I came back." I put my head in my hands and sighed.

"Well, that's certainly an adventure." Elle said, I giggled and left the room, I saw Monica walking towards me from the other side of the hallway.

"Mae and Poppy are in bed." She said and yawned.

"I'm gonna go bed now as well, I'm so fucking tired." I replied.

"Night then Claire." Monica hugged me and walked further down the hallway and I walked the opposite way into my room. Tomorrow was going to be a big day.
