Chapter 6

Micheal pov

I was sitting in the waiting room, the doctor had come out saying that Eve was awake but I just couldn't bring myself to go in to her room. I got up several times only to sit back down again and cruse myself for not having the courage to go and see my girlfriend. I just didn't understand why she wouldn't be able to remember me. I asked the doctor and he just said "That it takes time she has gone through at trauma so could take some time to 'bounce back' from!"

My shoulders slumped and I buried my face in my hands. I sat like that for a while lost in my own thoughts and worries, so I was shocked when I felt a hand on my shoulder. My head snapped up and I grabbed the persons hand only to be have a reply of "Dude!"

I blinked to see through the haze and saw Shane's shocked face.

"Sorry" I mumbled

"It's cool"

Shane took the seat next to me he seemed tense, well you idiot he did just have a bad night or morning.

Shane was looking over at me I raised my eyebrows "where's Claire?"

He shook his head and pointed behind me.

Claire was walking towards us, well strutting actually her hips swaying kinda like how Monica walks, she didn't look particularly worried. I stood and she stepped into my hug. "You okay?"

She pulled back "Sure, I'm good. Is Eve asleep?"

"Um no, she's awake."

"Then why are we still standing here?" Claire swept her hands out and I lead her and Shane to Eve's room, I knocked the pushed the door opened

"Hey Eve, sweetie you okay?" I walked around to the side of her bed but didn't make any attempt to touch her.

She just nodded her eyes weary. Shane and Claire took the other side of her bed; Shane stood behind Claire his fist tight and muscles clenched with tension.

"Hey Eve, baby, How you feeling?"

Eve just stared her eyes flickering from Claire to Shane.

"I'm good, thanks. Um Claire?" Eve's eyes stayed on Claire

"Yes?"

Eve smiled a little "Nothing just making sure that's your name"

Claire's eyes flickered over to me, but I couldn't meet her eyes.

Eve looked past Claire to Shane, her smile grew a little.

"No smartass remark Collins?"

Shane looked up shock filled his face before it turned to his usual smirk "Nah. I though I'd give you the day off considering you're in hospital and all and I'm sorry about earlier". Some of the tension left from Shane's body and I let out the small breath that I didn't realise I was holding.

Eve looked confused then smiled "Um, its okay I'm sorry too, I suppose." Eve nodded to Shane and Shane smiled back until he saw the glare Claire was giving him. Her lips were curled and her normal warm brown eyes were cold. The phrase if looks could kill popped into my head; yep Shane would've been dead.

Shane lost the smile and frowned at Claire. A look of disgust crossed her face before turning away from him and plastering a smile on her face as she looked back at Eve. I saw Shane swallow thickly and let out a deep breath.

I looked at Claire; there was something wrong with her. But I couldn't see anything visible until I noticed that she didn't have a bruise. Shane said she had a bruise under her right eye, there was none. I was about to open my mouth to ask her about it when Eve said.

"So tell me about this girlfriend of yours."

I looked at her; her eyes were focused intently on my face.

"Oh, well" I glanced towards Shane and Claire. Shane was looking at me realisation and worry filling his face but Claire was staring at Eve like she had two heads.

"Are you serious?"

Eve's eyes only flickered to Claire before they locked back on me. Eve nodded.

"Fuck Eve. What the hell are you playing at, you stupid whore-"

"CLAIRE, don't start!" I shouted. Anger bubbling up in me "Just leave it"

"But-"

There was a knock at the door and a Doctor came in followed by Detective Joe Hess and Travis Lowe.

"Sorry to disturb you, but the police would like to have a word with um?" the Doctor looked back at the two detectives.

"Claire Danvers and Eve Rosser"

"Right, Claire and eve" the doctor repeated

"Claire if you'd like to come with me, we'll go and get some coffee." Travis lowe said while opening the door. Claire nodded and followed him out, I notice that she didn't even glance back at Shane, while his eyes were glued to her back the whole way. He frowned as the door clicked shut.

"We'll be in the waiting room" I announced and took Shane's arm "we'll let you talk"

Joe Hess nodded his head and with Shane behind we headed back to the waiting area.
