I sat there playing with my phone, trying to decide whether or not to call Claire. After ten minuets I gave in and rang Claire. "Hiya you have reached Me, Claire Danvers, please ring back later, I am probably messing with Eve and Michael or relaxing with my boyfriend Shane, see ya" Shane sighed, he never even noticed how much he missed Claire until that moment. 'PLz call me wen u get this, I'm so sorry' he clicked the send button and flopped back onto his bed and felt like screaming in frustration.
Shane's phone started vibrating, telling him that he has a message. He grabbed his phone and nearly choked. 'Sorry isn't Gd enough' Claire had sent something back even if it wasn't good. 'Jst plz cum home we miss u' I sent back, I wasn't going to give up trying to get her back. My phone started vibrating like crazy and when I looked at the caller ID, it was someone who I didn't know. "Hello?" I asked. "Hiya, am I speaking to Shane Collins?" a gruff voice said. "Yeah, who's asking?" I was starting to get quite curious, to who this person was. "My name is Connor, I am calling on Claire's behalf, to say back off, she doesn't need you" Connor spoke slowly and calmly. "Put Claire on please, if she has to say something she can tell me herself" I snapped. "I can't do that, she is out at the minuet" he lied.
Connor's POV"Well then why the hell are you calling me now, I need to speak to Claire NOW" Shane fumed. "Well you can't, because she's O.U.T, out" I spelt out for him. Down stairs I could hear the girls giggling and screaming and the boys laughing. "Look Connor, I don't know who you are and to be honest I don't care I just want to apologise to Claire" Shane spat. "Look Shane-" Connor stopped because behind him he heard a gasp. He turned around to see Claire stood there.
Claire's POV I stalked towards Connor. "Pass me the phone, now" I said calmly. "No" he laughed, holding it above his head. I glared at Connor and jumped to try and get it but he kept moving around. My patience was starting to run low. "PASS ME THE FUCKING PHONE, NOW" I screamed from the bottom of my lungs. "Listen to her dick head, pass her the phone" Shane shouted from the other side. "Um, how about no" Connor dodged me and ran down the stairs. "ARGHHH" I screamed. "What's wrong Claire?" Riley asked. "Have you seen Connor?" I puffed out. Riley pointed which way he went, I nodded and ran after him. I seen him with the phone by his ear and he was laughing. I tiptoed behind and jumped on his back, putting my hands over his eyes. "Claire get off me" he shouted. I jumped off of him and laughed at me. He looked at me and he looked pissed off. I snatched the phone out of his hand and wiggled it in front of his face. "You will wish you never done that" he smirked, walking towards me. I ran for my life, screaming. I ran into the living and there sat on the sofa was Joseph. "Help" I screamed jumping on him. Joseph had always been a leader type thing, for us all, so he could control us. He wrapped his arms around me, laughing. "What's up?" he laughed. "Connor, is going to kill me" he panted. Talk of the devil. He ran into the room and when he saw Joseph and me, he huffed. "I am going to get you later" He snarled. "No you're not" Joseph said. Connor glared at us then stormed off. I looked down at my hand and saw the phone. "Shit" I cursed. "Shane?" I asked. "Yeah I'm here, are you okay? Did he hurt you?" he worried. "Yes and no" I said. "Claire, I am so sorry, I told Eve and Michael what happened and they said that I should tell you, but I am scared Claire" he told me. "Why are you scared? No what are you scared about?" I asked confused. "I am scared that you won't believe me and then we will never see you again" he whispered. "Shane, I am coming back but not for a while, okay I just need to clear my head, stay strong Shane for Eve and Michael" I whispered, then I hung up. Joseph's POV I wiped away Claire's tears and held her close. "God, my life's shit" she moaned. "No it's not Claire, you have people around you who love you" I whispered. We sat there for what felt like hours but it were only a few minuets. I have never told anybody but deep down inside of me, I love Claire with all my heart. When I saw her crying – when she first got here – it broke my heart, thinking how could somebody hurt her? Ryan and Issy walked I the living room and sat on the other sofa. When they heard Claire sniffle they both glanced at me. "Connor and Shane" was all I said. Ryan got up and walked out of the room, probably to go warn Connor to back off. "Claire, what happened?" Issy asked, coming over to us and moving some of Claire's hair out of her face in a motherly way. "Nothing, it's just, I am fed up with life" she sniffled. "No, I meant what did Connor do?" Issy asked concerned. We all knew Connor could be an asshole. "Argh, he wouldn't give me my phone so I screamed at him, then chased him around the house, then I snatched the phone out of his hand and legged it in here and then Joseph got him off my back" she told us. "Why did you want the phone?" Issy asked. "Because he called Shane" she whispered. "Oh, Claire" Issy looked at me and her eyes said it all 'I am going to kill Connor' Claire wrapped her arms around my neck and cried into my shirt but I wasn't complaining. Claire's phone vibrated so I picked it up and she had two messages, one off Shane and one off Eve. 'I will stay strong, 4 u, luv Shane' and 'Claire-Bear, plz cum home, I miss u loads, luv Eve xxxx' Claire-Bear is it, well I haven't heard that one before. I nudged Claire and showed her the texts. When she got to Eve's smiled and quickly sent her back something, before wrapping her arms back around me. She smiled up at me and I could feel my answering smile spread across my face.
