The next day 9am Shane's P.O.V:

Me and Claire are having coffe in Common Grounds...Claire's having a moocha and i'm having a bitter coffe.

"So are there any problems like I don't know um...money problems...health problems...stuff like that?" Claire asked.

"No not really...I have been taking care of Carla ever since her mum left which I told you last night"

Claire nodded

"So why are you a single parent?...if you don't mind me saying a pretty girl like you should be happily married" I asked

"Oh um...I was with Sam's dad since freshman year.. and a month or so into my freshman year I became pregnant with my first baby...but my boyfriend he was very abusive towards me and he was an acholic and when he found out I was preganant he wanted me to abort the baby but I refused so he beat me up and threw me down the stairs...and the next day I had a miscarriage I was very depressed and harmed myself because I was in alot of pain...then a year later I became pregnant again...but this time he let me keep it. So 9 months later I had a baby boy who I named Jamie-lee but he was very sick and died a week after being born. I broke up with my boyfriend then and moved away...I came back when I was seventeen and we got back together he had gone through rehab and swore to me he was a better guy and I believed him but then I got pregnant again and had Smantha and we were good but then he went out with "friends" and came home drunk I tried to get him to lie down but he attacked me so bad that I was knocked out till 9am the next moring...that's when I knew I had to leave him as I was putting Sam in danger aswell as me...so I wrote a note and left to come and live here...we have been living here for a few days...I had my parents support all the way but the worst part is that I hadn't willing lost my virginity to him he...he...raped me all three times" She then started crying, I went over to her an dtooke her in my arms to calm her down but by then I was shaking with anger how could someone do this to her you'd have to be sick in the head to do that.

When she stopped crying I went back to my seat and gave her a napkin to dry her eyes.

"Oh god I'm so sorry...I...I don't usually blurt my past to people I haven't known very long thankyou" She said

"Hey,hey it's ok everyone needs to blurt out thier past or problems even if that person is a complete stranger" I reassured her.

She nodded.

"Thankyou for listening anyway"

"No problem and if I saw that guy I would totally hurt him for ever doing that to you" I said

"Thanks that means alot" She smiled aswell. Which was the most amazing smile ever.

"What's his name anyway?" I asked

"Nick Howels"

we talked for a few more mintues then when we were about to leave we exchaned numbers and then agreed to go out tonight for a meal at the new italian resturaunt"

Italiana tramonto" (in english it means Italion sunset) at 7pm. I booked the table and then went to work.

7pm Shane's P.O.V:

Me and Claire are at the resteraunt and Claire looked stunning as ever she was in a knee high red dress which has straps that crossed over at the back and she was wearing matching 3 inch heels.

We were laughing and joking while we had an amazing dinner and found out that we had alot in common. I then payed the bill and walked her home we had just reached her door.

"Hey, I had a great night thanks it felt great to go out with a real great guy for once thankyou" She then kissed me...it was a quick but sweet kiss...but still a very good kiss. Claire then went inside and I walked back to Eve and Micheal's to collect Carla and then went home.

I know it's short hoped you liked it anyway.
