Thanks for the reviews everybody,

Lilabee i will try to improve my grammar,oh and for some reason when i upload my chapters onto fanfiction some of the words disappear its very strange but also very annoying since i have to re-read every sentence like 5 times just to make sure there's no mistakes.

For example when you gave me the advice for this sentence,

Liam stirred but diddnt wake up sighed.

It was actually- Liam stirred but diddnt wake up, Bill sighed.

For some reason the Bill part disappeared.

Debbie Lostgirl thanks for the review and i dont know about a sequel yet,but as soon as i do i'll let you know.

Ada23Mon ive stopped with the capital letters so dont worry and yes,there is going to be some C&C Romance :)


Chapter 2

Packing

Claire had ran home, she had ran that fast her legs felt like they were about to drop off. Her hands were shaking, she was so excited she could hardly put the key in the keyhole.

When she finally was able to open the door she ran inside her and Thomas's 1 bedroom apartment.

The apartment was awful,the wallpaper was peeling off the walls,the carpet was filthy and had dirt stains all over it,Claire had tried to get the dirt stains out of the carpet, she had tried for months they just wouldn't come out.

She had bought over 10 different cleaning products they weren't that expensive since her and Thomas diddnt have that much money.

Thomas worked on a building site as a cleaner,his pay was terrible. Claire worked in a tattoo parlor and her pay was worse than Thomas's.

So all the products that she had bought they were all useless.

She had hoped Thomas would have been home by now,she needed to say goodbye to him, she wanted to say goodbye to him.

She ran into the bedroom and grabbed her suitcase from under the bed,there were lodes of boxes under the bed she hadn't quite got around to unpacking them all, so after 5 minutes of rooting around under the bed she found her blue suitcase.

She dragged it out from under the bed and threw it onto the top of the bed,for 20 minutes she ran around her room like a crazy person. She packed half of her clothes,pictures of her family and friends,her mascara and eyeliner,her favourite book Romeo and Juliet. She also grabbed her guitar and set it down near the bedroom. She then zipped up her suitcase and set it next to her guitar.

She ran into the kitchen and grabbed a picture off the fridge,she then ran straight out the front door and ran down the street as fast as she could.

After dodging people and avoiding tripping and cracking her head open on the sidewalk, Claire arrived at st sebastian's hospital.

She went into room 214 the room she had been visiting for the last 5 month's. Claire's mother Carole Littleton had been in an accident a couple of months ago,she was driving to work and had crashed into another car ever since that, she had been in a coma.

Claire walked in and sat on the chair next to the bed she started panting,she was exhausted.

"Hey mom its me Claire," Claire had tears in her diddnt want to say goodbye to her mom like this,she wished she was awake.

"Mom,remember when i said i was going to audition for that singing thing." Claire bit down on her lip hard. "I got in mom they." Claire took a deep breath she wanted to try and finish the sentence without crying a river of tears. "They said, i was just the kind of girl they had been looking for."

Claire moved a strand of her mothers hair out of her face and put it behind her ear.

"So i wont be seeing you for awhile ... im going on tour for a couple of months, but dont worry as soon as im done i will come straight back here and see you straight away ok."

Claire kissed her mothers forehead. "You know what mom, i wish,.. i wish that you would just wake up and tell me if im doing the right thing."

Claire waited a moment,she knew her mother wasnt going to wake up though she stood there and waited for her to open her eyes.

"Bye mom,i love you"

Before leaving her mothers room,Claire placed the picture she had in her hand and set it on the drawers.

It was a picture of her and her mom.

Claire left the hospital with tears in her eyes,she looked at her watch and seen the time, in 15 minutes the band and Bill would arrive at the apartment to pick her up.

"Shit."

Claire ran back to her apartment hoping Thomas would be there,but apart of her didn't want him to be there she didn't want to deal with another goodbye. She turned the key in the keyhole and walked in to find Thomas standing over her guitar and suitcase.

"What the hell is going on here Claire!"

Claire just didn't want to deal with this but she had to unfortunately. "Remember the singing audition that i talked to you about"

"Yeah."

"I got it"

"Im sorry what?"

"I have to leave in 15 minutes, were leaving to go on tour"

"Again Claire, What!"

Claire put her head down. "Im sorry"

"How long is this tour gonna last for Claire?"

"About 8 months"

"8...8 Months are you,...are you fucking kidding me!"

"Thomas please dont yell,look im sorry but this is my big break"

"What about me Claire"

"Well when were back over here i... i will come and visit you i promise"

"Well you wont have to come and visit me"

"What, well why not?"

"Cause were over Claire, now get the hell out"

"Your throwing me out of my own apartment"

"No since you will now be living in high class hotels,and drinking expensive champagne,you wont need this crappy apartment anymore"

"Thom-"

"Get out Claire,i dont ever want to see you again"

Claire was heartbroken she didn't want to end it like this but she didn't have any other choice,So she grabbed her guitar and placed it in her guitar case. She then picked up her suitcase and her guitar case and left the apartment.

She walked down the street and sat on the sidewalk and waited for the guys to show up. She held back all her emotions,she didn't want the band knowing her private life after all they were strangers to her.

After 15 minutes of sat on the sidewalk Claire was about to give up and go home,well since Thomas had thrown her out she would probably just stay at a friends house,But lucky for her the tour bus came driving down the street.

The bus spotted Claire,Joey parked it up on the side of the road.A guy wearing a black hoodie came out with a huge grin on his walked up to Claire and picked up her guitarcase.

"Oh dont worry, i can manage"

"If you could manage you could leave the band and join the circus"

Claire let out a chuckle,she thought he was kind of funny plus he was cute.

Little did she know that Charlie was high,Him and Liam had bought 2 baggies of heroin 30 minutes ago from a dealer they had found in some bar.

Claire didn't notice anything since she had never seen no one high, plus she just thought that Charlie's personality was just cheerful.

Charlie helped Claire with her belongings,he showed her around the truck, he tried to make her feel welcome.

Charlie introduced Claire to all the band members,Liam was just out of it so meeting him wasnt particularly great,Meeting John was ok, except she noticed he kept staring at her ass,meeting Steve was ok except he was to busy concentrating on the t.v.

She didn't get to meet Joey the driver since he was in the drivers seat driving,she didn't get to see Bill again since he was in the passengers seat.

So it was just her and the band in the main part of the bus.

She went and sat on the bottom bunk, she sat as close as she could to the wall so the band couldn't see her, at that moment in time she felt so alone and scared.

"Is she alright?" John asked Steve.

Steve looked at Claire,he could hardly see her it looked like she had glued herself to the wall.

"Yeah she looks fine to me now sod off i wanna see this"

Steve was way too concentrated on the t.v to give a damn about anything else, John looked around the bus.

Liam was sleeping on the couch he was lay across it, his arms were hanging off it and it looked like he was was drooling.

Charlie lay across the top bunk he was staring at the ceiling,while Claire was on the bottom bunk,he couldn't see what she was doing.

Charlie leaned his head over the bed to see Claire,she was sat against the wall with her legs crossed.

"May i help you?"

"Oh uhm..sorry i was just checking to see if your alright"

"Im fine thanks"

"Im Charlie by the way." Charlie leaned his hand down the bed and held it out, Claire shook it.

"Im Claire its nice to meet you Charlie"

Charlie smiled. "Nice to meet you too." Charlie leaned back onto the bed and stared at the ceiling again but this time he had a huge smile across his face.


Claire was awoken by laughter she hadn't even realised that she had fallen asleep,she climbed out of the bunkbed and seen all the guys sat round each other.

Liam was sat on the couch, with Charlie sat next to him and Steve and John,they were sat on the floor.

"Hey look who finally decided to wake up." Shouted Liam.

"You alright luv?" asked John.

Claire yawned. "Yeah im fine thanks"

She stood there awkwardly, she was unsure of what to do next.

"Come and join us luv" said Liam.

"Uhmm alright then" she went over and sat next to John who was sat on the floor.

Liam started shaking his head. "Sit up here,we wouldnt want you to get a sore ass on your first day."

Liam and Steve bursted out laughing. Claire felt really uncomfortable,though even though she felt like that, she still stood up and went and sat in the middle of Charlie and Liam.

Liam put his arm around her,she wanted to shake it off him though she didn't want to be rude, she thought he was just being friendly.

"So dream about anything good?." Liam asked

"Uhmm im sorry what?"

"You were asleep therefore, did you dream about anything good"

"Uhh, no"

"Liam your scaring the shit out of her,leave her alone." Said John.

"No i aint." Liam turned his head to Claire. "Am i scaring you luv?"

In her head Claire said yes,cause he was, its like he was high or something she thought.

She thought he was really creepy,she prefered him when he was fast asleep.

"No your not scaring me." She said.

He grinned so wide it looked like he had a coat hanger in his mouth. "Good."

"So Claire, tell us a little bit about yourself"

"There's not much to tell Liam... your names Liam right?"

It was hard remembering all there names.

"Yeah my names Liam and come on,there must be somethings about yourself"

"Im kind of a private girl,i like to keep all my business and my past to myself, sorry Liam"

Liam nodded. Charlie felt like he was about to throw up,the heroin was wearing off he only had a little. Liam of course had quite a bit,plus while Claire was asleep he managed to have another line in the bathroom.

All the boys had agreed in the bar that they wouldn't tell Claire about the drugs,just incase she went and told on them to Bill.

Little did they know that Bill already knew,he found out 3 weeks ago when he saw the difference between there moods when they wern't high and when they were high.

Claire had been sat on the couch for about 20 minutes,inbetween Charlie and Liam. She was really bored,the boys were talking about some rugby game,she had no interest in it.

Claire took Liams arm off her shoulders, he frowned. "Im just going to the bathroom, be right back."

Claire stood up and went down the bus to find the bathroom.

"Wait,she doesn't know where the bathroom is does she"

Liam grinned. "Well then,i guess i will have to go and show her"

Liam was about to stand up when Charlie pushed him back down.

"Dont worry about her,she will be fine if you all keep following her she's gonna freak out,let her be,give her some space." Charlie said.

Liam nodded. "Alright then,i guess i will just have to wait"

"Wait..wait for what Liam?"

"You know what im on about baby brother." Liam said with a grin on his face.

Charlie shook his head. "No you cannot and i repeat cannot sleep with her,what about what Bill said."

"What about it,do you actually think she will tell him"

"Err yeah,she isnt like other girls Liam"

"Hate to break it to you Liam but i think Charlies right,she aint like any girl ive met before,shes actually kind and good,she would never sleep with someone like you." Said Steve.

Liam shook his head."Na i can get her"

Charlie shook his head and stood up, he went down to the end of the bus to see if Claire was alright.

He saw her stood outside the bathroom door with her eyes shut.

"Hey, are you alright?"

She jumped and opened her eyes,she hadn't heard no one coming.

"Oh yeah im fine"

Charlie nodded his head and smiled at her.

"Do you need to go?" Claire asked.

"Oh no im good,i just thought id come and check to see if you were ok."

"Im fine thanks Charlie"

They both just stood there for a moment not saying anything to each other. Claire then walked past Charlie and went back down into the main part of the bus to join the band.
