who claire and shane where cleveland house sorry tony and bruce when after shane arrives what time to tell some truths rating/status probs some feels and on going
The world had just stopped while she stared at her laptop screen. Shane. Shane was in Salem! Claire could feel a butterfly forming in her stomach, but it quickly crashed into some invisible wall. Oh God, Shane was in Salem. She was torn between being excited and being upset. She was glad he was around, honest. The problem was, well, this was Shane. He was going to do something stupid or get hurt. She didn't think she could handle if he got hurt.
He had refused to let her come to him which was actually probably a good thing. She was already kind of, sort of in trouble for running off to help Gabe without telling anyone. A reenactment of her vanishing act might actually get her in real trouble with the two adults in the house. Strangely enough, she didn't want to actually upset them. Sure, she got pretty stubborn around them, but in all honesty? She cared about Tony and Bruce. She had no clue what to think of Peter yet. None of that mattered right now, no, Shane was coming to the house.
Oh God! Shane was coming to the house. Claire stared down at her pajamas and quickly scrambled to put on real clothes. She wasn't ashamed of her pajamas, she just didn't think it was the best idea to greet him in such clothes. Soon enough she had on an oversized hoodie and a pair of skinny jeans. She tried not to sound like a herd of baby elephants as she ran down the stairs.
Shane. Her heart was racing. She was going to hurl. What if he got injured on the way here? What if he died? She had already watched one friend die in front of her- Claire slapped herself lightly to pull herself together.
Shane was going to be just fine.
What if he arrived from the same point of time? She had taken damn near twenty showers just to get the smell of fire off herself that day. Well, that and to cry over Michael. Crap, was she supposed to tell someone that a boy was coming over? How did any of this work? She was just about to go find Tony or Bruce when she heard the doorbell. Well, there went her heart out her mouth. She scrambled towards the door and yanked it open before really checking to see who it was. Yeah, she wasn’t exactly thinking straight at the moment.
Claire was frozen. She could only stare at Shane as her eyes began to sting. A faint sniffle escaped before another followed. Oh no, no, no! She made a noise before launching herself at him. Her arms encircled him as she hid her face against his chest.
