A/N: Sorry about the late update...Another one of my pets died...We found out that the food we feed them was bad, the company sent out a couple of bad bags out on accident and we got one of them. Luckly, we still have one dog alive. He is a scottish terrier named Archer and is going to be 1 years old in January 15. Well, lets get to the story.

CHAPTER 38

.

CLAIRE POV

.

When piers walked into Alberts apartment it started as just an angry conversation. Then Albert made it physical and punched Piers square in the face. The only thing I remember after that is that Piers won the fight and it was already 1:17. Piers desided that it would be best for me to stay at his house for tonight. Thats how I found my self in front of his apartment right now...He pulled out a key and put it in the door knob, making it open. As we walked inside I noticed Debbie come out of a room and jump on Piers to give him a hug.

Debbie: "I can't believe it! I thought you were suppost to come in two days!"

Piers: "I got here early."

Debbie: "And you brought Claire with you." (She said looking up at me)

Claire: "I ran into a bit of trouble and he helped me out."

Piers: "Yeah, shes going to stay with us for tonight. I'll sleep on the couch and you can sleep in my room."

Claire: "Ok, thank you."

Piers: "No problem."

We walked into his room. He went to a dresser and pulled out a large shirt with basket ball shorts.

Piers: "You can wear these, I know that there big on you but its better then wet clothes."

Claire: "Their fine, thanks."

Piers: "Alright, If you need me I'm just in the living room."

He walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. I stripped down and put on his clothes. They were extreamly large on me but he was right, that were better then wet clothes. I got into his bed and closed my eyes.

I started kicking him until he finally let go.

He took out a gun and shot me.

I woke up screaming covered in sweat. I checked the time and saw that it was 3:09. Shit, I must have woken up everybody. Just then, Piers opens the door.

Piers: "Are you ok?"

Claire: "Just a bad dream." (I said giving a weak smile)

Piers: "Alright. If you need anything-"

Claire: "Actually, I do need something."

Piers: "Alright, what is is?"

Claire: "Can you...uh...sleep in here...with me." (I said while looking down and blushing)

Piers: "Sure."

He walked in and closed the door behind him. He climbed into bed with me and wrapped his arms around me. I closed my eyes and slowly drifed of to sleep with Piers next to me.
