Chapter 8

Michael's POV

I stood in front of Eve's door, for what seemed like forever. I was trying my hardest to not listen to Shane's and Claire's conversation. I knocked on the door, Eve didn't move. I opened the door and walked in and shut it behind me. 'How was I going to tell Eve this? She'll hate me and hate Claire. I can't have that.' Eve's eyes kind of fluttered open and saw me and said, "Michael what are you doing? I thought you were asleep."

She looks so peaceful; she is in her black tank top and her multicolored yoga pants and had no Goth makeup on. She looks like a normal teenage girl off the streets. "I couldn't sleep. Something's bothering me about that imprint." She sat up and patted the spot next to her. I walked over and sat down and started to say, "Claire and I…." Eve cut me off by saying, "Have a thing for each other, because of the imprint." She looked at me with a blank stare. 'How did she know?'

"Michael, I know you too well, and I asked Myrnin, why you think he was freaking out. All he said was, 'that they will develop lust feeling for each other.' I get it, I do. But I didn't tell Shane." Eve always manages to surprise me and she always can tell you what you're going to say.

"Eve, I love you, you know that, but every time I see Claire. It's like I want to jump her bones. I don't know how to make it stop. Claire just went to tell Shane, and then we are going to tell Amelie and ask her about it. Claire is freaking out that Shane will hate her and I'm freaking out that you'll hate me when I tell you what happened?"

Eve stared at me, crossed her legs and took a really big, long, deep breath and looked down then back up. "Michael, you slept with her, didn't you," she pressed her hand down on her stomach and looked at me. There was so much hurt in her eyes that it broke my heart. "Eve, you have to understand. It wasn't us, you know that. I love you and Claire loves Shane." I reached out for her but she moved back over to the lime green wall and flinched at my sight.

"Michael, when I said that, the baby kicked. Michael its first kick ever and we were talking about you and Claire. That really hurt." She started to sniffle, she was going to cry, but she stopped herself. "Eve, do you want me to leave?" I asked her.

"No, Michael, please don't leave me. I want you here, with me and the baby. Just one question?" I was willing to answer anything for her, as long as she still wanted me. "Anything, Eve, anything."

"You used protection, right," she had a little gross face on. "Hell Eve, yes, we did. I'm not crazy." She smiled as I pulled her close to my chest and stroked her hair, waiting for Claire to come get us to talk to Amelie.

Claire's POV

Looking Shane in the eyes right now was just horrible. I hated it. He was going to kill Michael and hate me. "Claire look me in the eyes. I need you to tell me. It's killing me over here, Claire, please."

"I don't know how you're going to take it, but here it goes. Shane, the imprint is wrong," I started to cry but I continued talking, "There is so much in our feeling and bodies that isn't right in any way or form." 'This was killing me so much, but I have to continue.'

"Michael and I have wrong feeling for each other, and we did a really big mistake." I looked up and saw him looking more hurt than ever. "Claire what are you saying to me?" He raised his voice, but just a little. "Shane, I can't say it." I stopped crying and sat down on the bed, Shane sat down next to me.

"Claire are you telling me something that I'll kill Michael for." He sounded so pissed that I couldn't bear to keep talking. I knew what was going to happen next. "You slept with him, didn't you?" He really raised his voice.

"Shane please understand, it wasn't us, it was the imprint. I would never do that to you, never. You know me, please understand," I was at the point of tears again.

Shane's POV

"You slept with him, didn't you?" I raised my voice. 'How could Claire do this to me, how?' Claire was everything to me, but this went straight to the heart, really bad.

"Shane please understand, it wasn't us, it was the imprint. I would never do that to you, never. You know me, please understand," I just didn't know how, all I knew was this, 'I'm going to kill Michael.'

"Why Claire, why did you do this to me," I love her so bad, but I can't handle this. I just can't Michael, my best friend and Claire, my fiancé.

"Shane, you're everything to me, and more. I've always only wanted you, you know that, please don't do this to me," she was crying, I knew I should go over to her, but I didn't want to, it hurt to much. 'I can't believe I am going to do this, I just can't do it, but I have to.'

"Claire, I can't handle this right now?" This hurt more than I thought it would. "Claire I need some time."

"Shane what are you saying," she was at the point of tears again. "Are you breaking up with me, please Shane don't do this, please." I can't handle to see her like this. What I'm going to say will hurt me more than her.

"Claire, it's over. I don't want to marry you, so take that ring off, we are over," she took it off and throw it at me, I grabbed it in the air, turned around and before I left the room, I said over my shoulder, "I hate you, Claire." I walked out and heard her break into tears. I walked away.

'Michael, your dead,' I walked over to my room, opened the door, went to my closet, and grabbed a stake. I'm ending this pain, and giving it to Michael.

P.S. Don't freak out just yet, okay? Everything will work out fine. Please just wait and find out what happens. I know some of you asked me to not break up Shane and Claire, but it had to happen so I can get my story just right? Just sit back and relax, please.
