Claire was pacing back and forth in her bedroom. She stops when she hears her phone buzzing on her bed. She checks to see if it's Piers but instead it's Helena.

Helena: We need to talk.

Claire sighs and texted her back,

Claire: About what?

Helena: Piers.

Claire: What about Piers?

Helena: Did he texted you like two or three minutes ago?

Claire: No why?

Helena: Nothing. Just curious. Well have a goodnight.

Claire started to begin being curious of why Helena has ask her that question. She thought about even questioning Piers about it when he comes over. A knock appears on her room door and she went to open it. It was Piers.

"Piers!" She shouted hugging him. He hugs her back. "That's me" he says laughing.

"I just found out that you've told your parents the truth. And I'm really glad about that." "Oh…" Claire says looking at her carpet. "Look, I'm sorry about everything. I'm sorry for putting you into this whole mess. You don't deserve it. And I'm really really sorry about letting you spend the night in jail. Really sorry."

"It's okay Redfield. "He told her putting his arm around her. "I forgive you and I know that you were just afraid of Steve." "Piers. I'm not afraid of him." "You're not?"

Claire shakes her head and tells him, "I'm not afraid of Steve. If I was then most likely I will still be with him. The only reason why I lied on you is because I was protecting my parents and also you."

"Me? Protecting me? How? Explain Redfield."

"I wish but Steve didn't tell me everything. I'm still trying to put all the pieces together."

"Can you just tell me what he told you?"

"Sure. Well, Steve told me that if I tell my parents in front of them that he's the one abusing me then he will kill them and then kill you."

Piers laugh, "With what?"

"A knife…or even…a gun."

Piers got up from Claire's chair and he said, "Steve has a gun?" She nods and he runs a finger through his hair, "Dammit! Does he carry it alright?" "Yes. He threatened me a couple of times with it." "Claire. We need to go to the cops about this. Let's go."

"No! We can't! They will think that we're crazy! Besides, Steve's father is the boss of Raccoon City's

Police Department."

"Shit. Well, the only thing we have left is to kill him." "Kill?" Claire asks shock. "Yes. Kill." "Piers. We're not going to kill him." "I didn't say we. I am. It'll be worth it. Trust me." "No it wouldn't because you will most likely go to jail for the rest of your life and I will never see you again. Also Chris who will be sad."

"You're right. It's just Steve makes me so mad! I just want to kill him! He doesn't deserve to be walking on earth. So what are we going to do Claire? We're just going to let Steve run around? Plus, he might want to hurt you again since you've ran away from him."

"Oh no…" Claire giggles. "No. He got me alright. Outside in front of my house. He was trying to put me in his car to take me home with him I guess? But thankfully, Jake Muller saved me. He also beat Steve up a little."

"Really? Jake Muller? What was he doing around this neighborhood anyways? He doesn't live around here!"

"I know but I'm just grateful that he saved me."

"That's good."

Helena was trying to fall asleep but she just couldn't. All she kept thinking about was Piers and that kiss. She was kind of mad how someone texted Piers and stop them from having a moment. She wanted so badly to find out who it was but deep down inside of her she knows it was Claire.

Chris was too busy probably hanging out with Jill she thought. An idea pops up in Helena's mind and so she jump out of bed and put on some clothes. She unlocks her room door and slowly closes it and rush downstairs.

On her way over to the front door, she didn't see her father in sight. She thought that he was probably in bed already since he has to wake up early in the morning the next day. Helena went towards her car outside and drove over to Claire's.

"Why do I feel like the third wheel?" Sherry asks Jill and Chris as they both were talking about college.

"Ah, come on Birkin. Who told you that you couldn't join in the conversation?" "You did Chris! You told me, oh hush Birkin! Jill and I are having a moment! I want her to kiss me!" Chris lets out a fake laugh a little and then pushes Sherry lightly away from Jill.

"Sherry!" he whispered. "We had a deal!" "Yeah I know…it's just that I'm tired of being a third wheel so I thought about blowing your spot up." "Wow. You're starting pick up some of my sister's ways." "No I am not!"

"Sherry?" A voice said coming from behind her. Sherry turns around and sees Jake. "J-Jake? W-What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in bed? Sleeping?" "Are you trying to say it is my bed time super girl?" he told her walking towards her and Chris.

"Because last time I check, I am older than you." "Only by a year moron." "Someone is cranky."

Chris laughs. "You two are pretty hilarious together? Do you guys have some sort of chemistry or something?"

"Uh...well actually-" Jake cuts her off and says, "Yes. We're kind of close." "Really? How come you I've never seen you two hanging out with each other?" "That's because my girl likes to keep it on the low."

Sherry scoffs and then blushes but then she pretends to be disgusted but actually deep inside of her she was freaking out. "I am not your girl!" she told Jake. "I am not his girl!" She told Chris.

The two guy's laughs and then Chris tells Jake, "Hey, maybe you should hang out with Piers and I? We can use a third guy to hang out with us."

"I'd like that Chris. Oh by the way, I saved your sister Claire from her boyfriend Steve? I caught him treating her bad so I decided to beat the crap out of him. You're welcome."

Chris was furious hearing that Steve once again hit his sister. "Thank you Jake. Hey um, can you do me a bit of a favor?" He asks Jake.

Jake shrugs softly and says, "Sure. What is it?" "Take Sherry home." Sherry gasps and says, "I am not going to Jake's house!" Jake chuckles. "No dirty minded girl. What he meant was for me to take you at your house. Like drop you off?" "Oh…right…. Hurry up then because I think I may need to rest my head."

"You think?" He laughs.

Helena parks her car in front of Claire's house and then gets out of her car. "This is it." She says knocking on her front door.

Sorry for the short chapter guys! Once again, I want this story to be pretty long so it doesn't seem short. Anyways, I have good news! Later on in the chapter there is going to be a little fight scene between someone ; ) I also know what the ending is going to be.

P.s - The ending is pretty sad. xD

Maybe it is? Maybe it's not? xD
