Eve's pov
I physically can't believe Shane; he is never to come near her; why would he think she would sink to his level and lie? He stood with his 'gym buddies' and laughed in her face! Laughed in her face. Then made her yelp in agony; he's his father's son- frank Collins still lives.
She's pregnant with his child, and he insults her… Claire's a better person than me, she didn't retaliate- she just took it. Yet in her eyes I could see the pain; I think a part of her hoped that he would fall back in love with her and admit he was wrong.
That's one thing I knew would never happen, once Shane Collins lets his anger loose; it can never be caged! But Claire still thinks he will return to her; but she never saw him before; that's before her I mean. She changed him and I'd finally thought, the violent tempered Shane had left us but I was stupid to let my poor, innocent CB love him; because he has only returned to bruise her- both physically and mentally.
Claire's pov
He's meant to love me, yet my cheek still burns; with his handprint imprinted into my skin. I yelped in surprise, shock but mostly pain; and what did my beautiful Shane do? He laughed. Deep down I was expecting that reaction but my heart wanted him to take me in his arms and tell me he's sorry- how stupid of me!
Eve took me in the hearse; the gym was just as I remembered filthy, with a warm stench of sweat. When I entered the gym, he was in the ring against a man twice his size but Shane was winning… that was until he saw me. He did a double take, then on the guys next punch hit the floor; I knew the punch wouldn't have floored Shane, that's when I got my hope.
I told him and he actually laughed, I was so confused by his humour that I repeated myself; that made him angry; he called me a slut, a bitch… he even called me needy and desperate. But that wasn't the worst, it was when I said that it wasn't my fault I was pregnant, I saw him flip. His whole radiate a fierce gravity, his muscles rippled and his arm raised back and released; knocking me completely off balance, making me fall into a group of muscled jocks. He was raising his fist again, when I saw Eve throw herself across me- if she hadn't, I would probably be in hospital or worse.
My Shane… he's gone and all I have left is my memories and a child; a child he doesn't even want.
