Chapter 2

"Eve was going to leave without telling anyone" Shane snitched. Eve flipped him off and Shane just gave her a dirty look.

"Eve?" Michael asked his voice going softer.

"What?"

"You're leaving?" Michael's tone was hurt but sort of understanding.

"Why do you care? All of you just need to go back to bed" Eve said coldly

"Why wouldn't I care? You're my girlfriend."

"Oh yeah about that, I'm not anymore, I'm single" Eve shrugged her shoulders while picking up one of her bags but Claire could tell it killed her to say that and act normal.

"What?"

"Gosh Michael, not used to being dumped by a girl, it's always the other way around isn't it?" Eve gave a bitter laugh when Michael didn't say anything.

"Eve please don't" Claire pleaded. She was no longer crying but Claire's eyes were red. A tear slipped down Eves face but she wiped it away angrily.

Michael took the bag from Eve's hand and through it past Shane's head.

"Hey!" Eve and Shane chimed as Shane ducked to miss the flying bag.

"Why?" Michael whispered. He placed his head against Eve's and put his hands around her waste "Please tell me?"

Eve opened her mouth, the anger left her body as she started to shake.

"Come on babe" Michael pleaded. Claire looked at Shane who was frowning and took his hand. He held on tight.

Shane saw Eve's lips move but didn't hear what she had said. But it was obvious by the way Michael's body froze that it wasn't good.

"What?" Shane asked moving towards them but Claire pulled him back as whatever Eve and Michael were talking about, it was clearly private and Claire felt rude to try and interrupt such an intense moment. However Shane didn't.

"What, come on man, tell us?"

Michael looked up, his face even paler than normal. He held Eve by the waist and led her to the sofa. As he walked by them, he whispered "Later". Shane nodded -guy code- and took Claire's hand and led her upstairs to her own room. He shut the door behind them and pulled Claire to the bed. Claire opened her mouth to say something, but Shane put a finger to her lip and pulled her onto the bed. She climbed in under the covers and snuggled up to Shane whilst he held her tight. She suddenly remembered something

"Shane?" she whispered into the darkness.

"Um?"

"Why did you think I was the one who was leaving?"

Shane didn't reply for while, so Claire assumed that had fallen asleep. She lay onto Shane's chest and closed her eyes.

"Because I finally thought that you had come to you're clever super senses and decide to leave this hell-hole, it was stupid but it seemed more likely than Eve or Michael."

"But, I would've thought that if anyone would leave it would be you. I mean after everything you've been through it would have made the most sense. When I first came down the stairs to find bags sitting there my heart dropped, I thought that you were leaving me, I -" Claire didn't know what to say.

"We are going to leave this hell together"

"We are" Claire whispered back.

Shane just smiled and kissed the top of her head.

Claire sat up so she could see Shane's face but it was dark and she couldn't make out his features clearly.

"We are leaving together, alive and well" she whispered.

Shane stroked a bit of Claries hair out of her face and nodded "I don't know what I'd do if I lost you".

"Well luckily I do."

"Wow planning to get rid of me? How exactly do you know?"

"Because if I died, you still have other responsibilities and you'll find new love soon enough. Who wouldn't want you?"

"No Claire, you're my girl. My only girl. I promise I would follow you, wherever you go"

"I don't want that promise, Shane. I want you to promise that you will carry on living"

"No. Because it will be a worthless promise."

"What about-"

Shane cut her off.

"Look Claire I know that you would move on but always have me in your heart or whatever blah blah blah, but I don't think I could. Nothing is keeping me grounded here apart from you, so just drop it okay, plus you're talking like its gonna happen any time soon. We are going to leave this place, you'll go MIT and I'd get a job, we'll get married; have mini brain boxes and trouble makers running around. Then grow old together while watching our grandchildren grow up. It'll be perfect Claire, just you wait."

"You got this all planned out huh?" Claire whispered.

"Of course, when do my plans ever fail?"

Claire rolled her eyes and laid back down, she felt Shane smile.

Shane was just drifting off when they heard a loud crash; his eye flew open and was at the door swinging it open before Claire had even got out of bed. He raced down stairs and into the living room, to find Michael lying on the floor with a wooden stake in his heart, his eyes were closed.
