HOPE YOU LIKE THE CHAPTER^.^

Chapter 8; It's for your own safety!

CLAIRE'S POV:

We hunted until it was about eight o'clock. We took so long because we had to keep explaining things to Eve. Once we were sure she had the hang of things and wouldn't attack the humans we headed back. Me, Alice and Eve walked through the front door and into the livingroom.

"Ugh" I heard, and turned to see Monica on the couch "And here I thought I was going to get some peace. Come on let's go unstairs" She said to her robots.

"No need" I said and headed for the stairs with Alice and Eve following "We were just heading up". Before she could say anything we hurried up the stairs. We went into my room and put the bottles of blood in the mini fridge. We decided to put Eve's in there until we could order one for her. Eve collapsed on my bed, Alice on the spinny chair and I went to the stereo and put on some Paramore.

"I'm beat" mumbling Eve because she was face down. Brick by Boring Brick Come on so I started dancing around and sang the first verse.

"She lives in a fairy tall
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of the world that she's left behind
It's all about the exposure the lens I told her
The angles were all wrong now
She's ripping wings off of butterflies"

"Wow your really good" Eve said when I stopped singing and just danced around like a tauntic.

"Thanks" I said and winked.

ALICE'S POV:

We watched Claire dance and sing. She was really good but she never performed or anything. That's why I was surprised when she went to sing for Shane. She must really like him... maybe love him... Wait! No that's bad. She loved someone before... Dante. They were ingaged but Claire caught him in bed with another women. It broke her heart... I promised I wouldn't let that happen again. Never again. I don't trust Shane. Not one bit. I can't, no won't, let him hurt her. I have to make her see sense before it's too late.

"Claire..." I said warily. She turned to volume down and stopped dancing. She sat down next to Eve.

"Yeah?" I said tiredly from today and all the dancing.

"Umm about this Shane guy... Be careful"

"Will do Mother!" She said sarcasticly and gave me a lazy salute.

"No I mean it... I don't want you getting hurt"

"I won't and were just friends"

"Claire"

"No really. Just friends. Besides he's with skank, remember?"

"Claire..." I sighed "I know but I don't want him to hurt you like Dante did"

She flinched at his name and froze. Oops.

"Who's Dante?" asked Eve.

"No one" Claire said coldly. What did I do? One minute she was dancing around happy and the next she has to remember a horrid past. She had to know though. Tough Love or something like that?

CLAIRE'S POV:

What the hell? I know Alice is my bestfriend and all but did she have to bring up Dante? I mean I hate that bastard. I know she was trying to protect me but I'm a big girl. I'm 99 years old! I don't even love Shane. Were just friends. Or are we? When I look at him I forgotten everything around me. When he smiles at me I feel special, like he only gives me that smile. I feel loved. No. I can't believe it. I do love him. Alice is right I'm going to get hurt. I need to stop seeing him. Stop being friends, before I get hurt. He's doesn't even feel the same way. He's a player and a human one at that. I need to forget about him and move on. And I will.

SHANE'S POV:

Lee came in, and flopped on the couch. Liam was out and wouldn't be back til tomorrow. He was with a girl. Michael was playing on his guitar in the armchair and I was just listening.

"Hey boys, what you been up to?" Lee asked when Michael finished.

"Not a lot just practising" Michael replied smiling as he put his guitar away.

"You know this and that" I said trying to act normal, when really I was thinking about Claire. She was so beautiful... I had to break up with Monica. If me and Claire had any chance I could have to be single. I never loved Monica, she was just... a fling. "I think I'm gonna break up with Monica"

"Really? Why?" said Michael surprised.

"She's a bitch and annoying, and I just can't be bothered with her" I said and rested my head on the back of the couch and shut my eyes.

"You sure? Not because someone else caught your eye?" Lee asked amused. I opened my eyes and saw him smirking. Oh God he knew.

"Shut up man!"

"I've not done anything" He said innocently "But tell me, how was your date?"

"It wasn't a date! We were just hanging out!" I said defensabily.

"Oh! You mean Claire" Michael said finally caughting on. Lee clapped his hands.

"Well done Sherlock!" Michael just glared so Lee laughed. "Anyway we happen? I hate to sound like a girl but as Alice would say... SPILL!"

"Nothing happened. We met up and she played one song, Then got a text and ran off..." I trailed off.

"And you wanted her to stay?" Lee asked raising an eyebrow.

"I don't know. Stop questioning me"

"Well" Michael spoke "I think someone's got a crush but won't admit it" I rolled my eyes and Michael and Lee high-fived.

"Look man" Lee said "If you like her just say"

"I don't know if I like her though" I whispered but loud enough for them to hear.

"Talk about her"

"What?" I asked him. Talk about her? What would that do?

"Well usually when you talk about someone you like you can tell. You see it in their eyes. So talk and Me and Michael will see" He explained.

"What do I say?"

"Umm... I dunno... Describe her"

"Okay... She has brown hair and brown eyes. She dresses like a gothic biker. She has white teeth... and a pretty smile. She sings beautifully and her laugh is cute. She can do awesome tricks on a skateboard. She's really smarty and funny. Her eye's are soft and at first glance there chocolately. In a room with low light they look almost black... but when she's standing in the sun they look hazel with tints of green..." I stopped. What the hell did I just say? How could I talk so much about one girl? And the eye thing. What was that all about? I could feel my cheeks burn red so I looked at the floor in embarrasment.

"Ok" Lee said after a few minutes of silence "Not only do you like her... you love her, dude" I glared at him. Was he mocking me? He didn't look like he was. He looked serious.

"Who would of thought Shane Collins would fall in love" said Michael

"Shut up dude" I told him. We all started laughing. That was really weird. I mean guys don't really talk about there feelings but Lee got me to open up. And he was really casual about it too. Like he was in love with someone as well. Alice. He was in love with Alice. That's why he didn't laugh. He understood. And now I knew. I was in love with Claire Danvers.

So? What do you think?

R&R Pleasee xx
