Time Heals All
Chapter 13: Love again?
Claire could not believe it; there before her eyes stood Matt.
What the f-How? Claire thought it utter disbelief. She never thought she'd see him again, ever.
"Why are you here?" Claire blurted out, in a somewhat rude tone. Although she was ecstatic of his return, she was also overcome with surprise, and thus, wasn't thinking properly.
"Ouch Vampy, I kinda thought you would be happy to see me. Oh, and to answer your question, you did challenge me to visit if I am not mistaken?" Matt replied with a wicked grin. He was enjoying her surprise too much.
Claire was still in shock, but Eve wasn't, as she stood behind Claire practically eye raping Matt.
"Claire, who's this?" Eve said, in her how-come-you-didn't-tell-me-about-this tone. Claire snapped out of her shock filled state and turned to face Eve.
Like expected, Eve was practically drooling. Thank god Michael was in the living room.
"I'm Matt" Matt said with a crooked smile, "Claire's friend"
"Oh, I see. I'm Eve" Eve said, smiling like a complete idiot. Claire rolled her eyes, whilst Matt just smirked. Claire was under the impression that he got this kind of treatment fairly often.
"So Claire, can I come in?" Matt asked. Claire had completely forgotten that they were still standing in the doorway.
"Sure", she said casually, and stepped to the side to let him in.
In no time they were all sitting down together in the living room.
"Matt this is Michael. He's a vamp too," Claire said once they were all seated. Michael just glared at her.
"What?" Claire asked, thoroughly confused.
"Your not just supposed to tell your visiting friends that I'm a vamp," Michael whispered, hoping to keep out of Matt's hearing range.
Too bad Matt had exceptional hearing.
"I'm a vampire too, in fact Claire and I met last week during her visit to my town. So yeah, I already know what Morganville is", Matt said, earning everyone's attention.
Michael mouth formed into a little O.
"Well in that case, I'm Michael" He said with a smile, and extended his hand out towards Matt. Matt accepted his gesture saying a mere 'Matt' as his introduction.
They all sat together talking for what seemed like hours. Matt talked about his hometown, Resernet, and about all of his abilities as a vampire, whilst Michael, Eve and Claire listened in awe. Claire wasn't even aware of some of her abilities up until that point: she never knew that she could turn into a bat with experience.
How fucking cool was that?
"You mean that with age I can turn into an actual bat?" She questioned in complete wonder.
Matt just smiled and nodded.
"That is really cool. I mean besides from the whole I-vont-to-suck-your-blood crap that comes with being a vamp, I'd totally go for it" Eve said smiling. Everyone looked at her like she was insane.
"Eve, please tell me that you didn't just say that you would want to be a vampire," Michael said, concern filling his voice.
Eve just rolled her eyes.
"Mickey, I'm not going to ask Claire to turn me during the night okay? So chill, I just thought that being a vamp 'could' possibly be cool. Better then I first thought. But I still love being human"
A series of sighs filled the room. No one wanted Eve to turn vamp by choice. In fact no one wanted her to become a vampire full stop.
Which was the complete opposite to what vampires might have thought, considering of the way she dressed.
"Wait, I thought all Goths like worshipped the devil and wanted to become a vampire or something" Matt said, clearly confused.
Eve just laughed.
"Honey, don't stereotype us. But in your defense, you are right I guess. I only dress Goth to piss of the vampire population of this town though"
"Oh" Matt replied, putting emphasis on the 'h'.
Eve smiled
"I'll make us some coffee" she suggested before getting up and heading towards the kitchen. Michael followed, leaving Claire and Matt alone.
"Don't expect to get your coffee soon, they're probably going to have a make out session" Claire said laughing. She loved her messed up friends.
"They're dating?"
"Yeah. Eve just has a soft spot for hot guys" Claire answered, defending Eve's flirtatious behavior towards Matt.
Matt smirked, "You think I'm hot?"
Claire rolled her eyes
"No comment" she said with a smile.
He laughed, "So, where's the 'boyfriend' Vampy?"
Claire stopped smiling.
"You mean the 'ex-boyfriend'?"
Matt suddenly looked remorseful.
"Sorry Claire, I didn't know.." He said quietly. Claire forced a smile.
"It's okay, I'm over it"
"Claire.."
"It's okay"
"Wh-What happened?" Matt asked cautiously, waiting to see if Claire would just break into tears.
But Claire was stronger then that (or she'd just cried herself out)
"I came home and both Eve and Michael told me, but I didn't believe them. So I went to his room a-and I fou-n", Claire stopped, she couldn't continue or else she'd start balling again. But Matt seemed to get the point and pulled Claire into his arms
"It's okay Vampy. I'm here for you"
Claire felt happy to be in his arms, happier then she'd ever been in a long time. Maybe Matt's timing was perfect. Maybe he could help Claire like he said. Maybe he could help her move on.
Maybe Claire could find love again, love in Matt.
