Chapter Eight
C.P.O.V
I stared at Jane as she drove somewhat erratically down the street, "What was that about Mam?" I asked incredulously "She only asked us to stay for dinner not a kidney!…I would have loved to have met everyone else!" I exclaimed. Jane scoffed "Don't be silly Claire you don't even know them ..besides I have a meeting in Seattle in the morning that I have to go to and I need to get back now and get some sleep!".
I was about to argue with her some more when I saw them. It was a big group of men all looking to be in there twenties, each with similar features and all quite handsome. They were talking and laughing at some joke that one of them had told. I felt drawn to them, I had to look at them, but then I realised that I wasn't looking at them at all, I was looking for one in particular. I shook my head unable to understand my sudden moment of insanity, but I continued to look. Then I saw him, the one that I was looking for, he was looking straight at me, a look of either anger or shock was wrought across his face. I wanted to get out and go to him ,but fought the urge; Jane looked at me and I realised that I had leaned as far forward in my seat as I could the seatbelt straining against me; she looked in the direction of where I was staring and I saw her jaw drop. Suddenly she accelerated dramatically, I could see the men looking at her, and I could see him reach out to me and I reached out automatically in response.
Jane shouted at me to sit back into my seat as I turned to look over my shoulder to see the figures of the men slowly growing smaller as my mother increased her speed. Hearing her curse under her breath I was suddenly brought back into sanity, what was wrong with me… why had I reacted like that?… I didn't even know him.
I looked up at Jane and she looked scared or panicked, maybe even both I thought. "Mam…" I asked hesitantly; she looked at me quickly and when she saw that I was back to my normal self she seemed to relax slightly. "It's alright Claire we'll be back to the hotel soon and we can get something to eat.." I couldn't think of anything else to say to her instead I choose to settle back into my seat and thought about what had just happened.
It wasn't logical to react like that when you saw a complete stranger, why had I wanted to get to him so badly?….I mean he was handsome .. very handsome but that was no excuse! I had seen plenty of handsome men around my sister and had never reacted like that before why now?
Before I knew it we were back home in the hotel, I stretched across my bed and stared at the ceiling, apparently Jane had decided not to talk to me after today's little encounter and had holed herself up in her room. Thinking about Emily and not having met her family I felt utterly despondent, I was now trying to ignore my irrational urge to go find the man that I saw.
I thought about Jane and her having said that she was going to a meeting tomorrow. I had heard her talk about that and realised that it was going to be in Seattle, as the realisation hit me I was already formulating plans to go back to La Push. Emily had said that I could go back anytime that I wanted didn't she? Anytime day or night…I intended to hold her to that. I was going to see my family. Just my family…….that man would have to be ignored….yes that particular urge would have to be suppressed.
Authors Note: Happy now!!!! she saw Quil and it doesn't seem like he knows that Claire was around???!!??!?? I'll post tomorrow!! Goodnight and enjoy:D
