Piers opened his front door of his house and went pass his mother frustrated. His father put his newspaper down and calls his name out. "Piers? You're home already? Aren't you supposed to be at football practice?"

Piers was about to head upstairs to his bedroom but he then decided to chill and hang out with his father in the living room. "Coach canceled it." He told his father sitting down on the couch. "Are you alright Piers?" his father asks him concerned.

"Yeah um, I'm fine. Why'd you ask?"

"Oh I don't know. You have a cut on your neck and you look like you're heart-broken."

"Dad. I'm not heart-broken. I'm just exhausted from football practice. That's all. Besides, I don't have a girlfriend?"

His father rubs the back of his head and told Piers. "Sorry. I'm just worried about you. That's all."

Helena notices Steve and Claire was kissing. Sherry notices too. "So. I guess Piers and Claire's fake relationship is over." Sherry told Helena sighing. Helena looked at Sherry who was watching the people skating around and around in the ice rank. "But where's Piers?" "Dunno." Sherry said under her breath.

Helena became curious about where Piers has gone. Claire and Steve went over to Sherry and Helena. "Hey guys." She said happily. "Hey um Claire?" "Yes?" "Can we talk for a minute?" "Sure!" Claire turns to Steve and pecks his lips one last time before going to talk to Helena.

While Helena was in some corner waiting for Claire to come over to her, she thought about how she should start explaining to Claire how she's made the biggest mistake. "Hey" Claire said smiling waving at Steve. Helena hated to take Claire's happiness away. But she has to do this or else Claire will get her heart-broken again. Which she can't afford.

"Claire. Look, I don't know any other way to say this but…you've just made the biggest mistake."

"What'd you mean?" Claire asks. Her smile has fade away and she became serious. "Have you seen the cut on Piers neck? I think Steve has something to do with it."

"What? That's nuts. Steve wouldn't hur-"

"He wouldn't hurt him? God Claire, why are you so freaking blind when it comes to love? I think you're pretty off without a boyfriend."

"Me? Better off without a boyfriend? Helena! You don't know about love."

"Uh yes I do."

"Oh really. When was the last time you have gotten into a relationship?"

Helena kept quiet and bit her lip hard.

"Yeah…I thought so. Well if you excuse me while I go with Steve." Claire heads over to Steve and he pulled her in for a tight hug and then kisses her again.

"Ugh, he disgusts me. It's like he's put this huge spell over Claire's mind."

"I know." Sherry said sighing. "Is it okay if I spend the night over at your house?"

"Glad you've ask because I can use someone to talk to."

Chris knocks on Piers room window. "Push this room window up higher. This is Raccoon City's police department." He said in his deepest voice. Piers laugh a little and push his window up higher.

"Hey man. I'm glad you can make it." He told Chris as he put on his guitar hero on.

"No problem. Look what I bought." Chris said pulling a case of soda's out of a black bag.

"Dude! Where'd you get them?! I look over town to find these!"

"Jill and I sort of drove…somewhere out of RaccoonCity."

Piers look at the can of root beer and then look at Chris who was drinking a can himself. He opens the can and took a quick sip from it. "Thanks Chris. Really appreciated it."

"You're welcome. That's what brothers are for right?"

"Yup." He set his can of soda on his dresser and started to play guitar hero world tour. 30 Seconds To Mars song 'The Kill' started to play.

"You better be playing this on hard level."

"You know it!" Piers said catching up with the level difficulty. "So um, during the car drive. Did you and Jill talk about your feelings?"

"Yeah. I told her that I like her. She told me that she likes me too."

"Really? That's awesome!"

"I know right? I just couldn't believe that she had a crush on me since we were little kids." Chris shook his head not believing. "Oh and we've both kissed."

"DUDE! That is huge. So what? You two are going out now?"

"I don't think so?"

"What are you waiting for? "Piers told him turning to face him. "Ask her out!"

"Dude! The game!"

"Oh shit." He said turning back to face the game and playing it again. "So um…how's you and my sister's fake relationship?"

"Oh nothing. We've just broken up today." The song has ended and Piers handed Chris the guitar. "Oh…sorry about that." "Don't be. I mean after all, it was just a stupid fake relationship! And those kisses that we've shared didn't mean anything!" Chris played a song on guitar hero and told Piers, "Something tells me you have feelings for Claire."

"Look man, I do."

"Y-you do?"

"Yes. I think I may be in love your sister."

"Well uh, I'd rather you dating my sister than that coward Steve she's going back out with."

"Totally. Hey um…about Steve. I tried earlier to stop Claire from going back out with him."

"Why?" Chris asks pausing the game and taking another sip from his can of root beer.

Piers took a deep breath and told Chris everything. Including how Steve and his friends jumped him in front of his house. Chris was pissed off. He put down the guitar on Piers bed and said, "Piers! Why didn't you tell me this sooner?!"

"I'm sorry bro it's just. I was so busy caught up with my mom's bullshit and then Claire's fake relationship and then I have to worry about the fucking football game that's tomorrow."

Chris put his hand on Piers shoulder. "Calm down. Look, I have Helena's number so let's call her and ask where Claire has went with Steve."

"Alright." Piers said nodding his head. The two boys called Helena's phone but she wouldn't pick up.

Helena and Sherry were laughing at a movie they both were watching.

"She is so stupid!"

"I know!"

Her phone kept on buzzing inside of her bag.

"Shit. She's not picking up. We're going to have to go there."

"What?" Piers said watching Chris pack up his things. "Dude! We can't just knock on a girl's house door at ten o' clock at night! Especially if it's a school night."

"Damn, you're right. I have another plan."

Steve was driving Claire home. "I can't believe you and Piers faked your relationship to make me jealous! Out of all the guys in the school why you chose Steak boy."

"I don't know…he was the only guy I know who would do it? I would have asked my friend Leon but he wouldn't be down with it. Besides, he moved."

Steve chuckled. "I never liked Leon Kennedy."

"And he never liked you?"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Steve asked stopping at a red light.

"Nothing. I just said that he never liked you? What? Is there a problem with that?"

The car started to speed up and Claire was leaning back in her seat panicking. "Hey! Stop speeding the car! We'll crash dumbass!" He ignored Claire. "Steve? Steve? Stop the car now!" The car stops at a curve and he looked at Claire. "I hate to do this but…" He slaps Claire at her face and she was shock.

She never has gotten hit by a boy before. She started to shake and then cry a little. "Steve, why'd you?"

"Because you got me mad."

Claire broke down crying and she covers her face with both of her hands.

"Hey babes stop crying. You're lucky it was just a slap. Next time, it'd be a punch. Now stop crying or that pretty face of yours will be destroyed at the end of the night."

Steve has never done anything like this to Claire that's why she was so shock. She then find herself not in love with Steve anymore. She hated him. "Take me home!" She demanded. "No. You're coming home with me tonight."

"What? You're fucking crazy! What happen to you Steve?! This isn't you!" she told him crying again.

"This is me Claire. You just never gotten the chance to see the real me."

"Just take me home. I promise I won't tell anyone about this."

"Oh you won't tell anyone. Because if you do your friends and family will get murder in four point eight seconds. Now get the fuck out of my car before I hit you again."

"You're making me walk home now?"

"I'd drive you home by midnight if you come sleep with me. I hope Rachael told you that I was good in bed."

Claire rolls her eyes and opens the car door. "Yeah…right." She got out of the car and Steve drove away. Maybe he's drunk? I mean, he always drinks
