Like I'm gonna lose you (Clawen)

Morning Blues

CLAIRE'S POV

My eyes fluttered open slightly before I realised that it was a bad idea. A very bad idea. The suns spilled into the room and I quickly shut them. I rolled over and buried my face in the pillows. Wait. How did I get here¿? I slowly propped myself on to my elbows. I took in my surroundings, allowing time for my brain to process properly. How did I manage to get from the couch to the bed?¿? The last thing I remember is snuggling up to Owen whilst watching the Breakfast Club. What, no. I don't remember watching the end. I know I would remember that, definitely. I would of sang and Owen probably would of joined in. "Morning" Owen mumbled. I was taken back a little bit, I had completely forgotten that he was there. I'm slow in the mornings, really slow. I can't function if I don't have some form of caffeine. "Morning" I replied through a yawn. "You're wondering how you got here, aren't you?" Owen smiled rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. I nodded and converted my full attention to him. "You fell asleep about half way through the movie, so I carried you to bed" he replied to the telepathic question I asked him. I smiled to tired to actually thank him. Owen smiled back making his eyes crinkle, before climbing of bed and heading to the shower.

It was fairly early so, I checked to see if Olivia was awake. I was glad their was no crying which meant one of two things, she was either still asleep or hasn't been up long enough to demand for attention. "Owennn!!!!" I scream at the top of my lungs, making them sore. "What is it?!" He replied as he raced out the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. I couldn't breathe. "I...err...O...Olivia....gone" I hyperventilated. "Jesus, Claire I thought you were being stabbed" Owen rolled his eyes and relaxed. "OWEN!!! Our daughter is GONE!!! she is MISSING!!! For all we know Olivia has been KIDNAPPED!!!" I screeched as I felt hot tears roll down my face. My breaths were short and quick, I wasn't even sure if I was taking in any air. My heart was ready to burst through my chest and my brain felt like it had short circuited. "Claire, breathe. It's okay, everything is fine" Owen spoke calmly whilst keeping eye contact with me. "Everything is not fine!!! Olivia is..." I wailed as I felt my knees go weak. "Claire listen to me. Karen came by just over a half hour ago. She picked Olivia up, she needed to speak to you. She took Olivia because she wanted you in a good mood" he soothed. I silent for a few minutes. I just went into a complete meltdown and needed to recollect myself. "Why didn't you tell me!!", I stressed, "now I unnecessarily have a hoarse throat and I most certainly will not be in a good mood for Karen" I continued. "Sorry, it didn't cross my mind. Karen was all like one less thing to worry about so I didn't worry about Olivia. She just slipped my mind for bit, it still early¿" Owen cringed as he knew he was in trouble. I glared at him so hard I was pretty sure I was going to burst a blood vessel. "So so so Sorry" Owen smiled awkwardly. I didn't acknowledge him. I began getting ready, he was just going to have to deal with the silent treatment.

I was ready in the next the fifth-teen minutes. "Look at that. Must some kind of record" Owen joked trying to get me to smile. I just stared blankly at him with the same sour expression. "Oh, come on Claire. Y'know it's funny" he said whilst wriggling his eyebrows. I kept the same poker face and headed for the door. "Claire, how many times do I have to apologise. I'm sorry" Owen called after me. I headed straight for the elevator, there is no way I am going to break. No way. I stepped in and repeatedly pressed the button in hope that it would make the door close faster. Owen was a bit behind him and I most certainly did not want him grovelling next to me. Much to my dismay, Owen just managed to squeeze in. "Look, Claire. I love you, I love Olivia. The both of you are so important to me. It's not like I forgot about Olivia, I just forgot to tell you. We don't even have say what happened, even if they heard you scream. But you're going to have to talk to me eventually. We are getting married tomorrow", Owen rambled. I could feel the anger building up inside of me. I could feel Owen looking at me and I could no longer ignore it. "Look Owen, I know you fell back to sleep after Karen got Olivia. But you had enough time to tell me. I don't think you understand how scared I was....", I opened my mouth to continue but no words came out. I could feel my whole body trembling. I looked at Owen who was still waiting for me to continue speaking. I took a deep breath to go on but my emotions got the better of me and I cried my eyes out.

I didn't have to look at Owen to know that he was completely shocked. "Claire, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't of been so thoughtless" Owen spoke gently and wrapped his arms around me. I was annoyed with Owen but his embrace comforted me. I was so annoyed with him. I was annoyed at Karen. Most importantly I was annoyed at myself for crying so much this morning. I swear down he is killing me softly. "I promise, I'm not" Owen whispered into my hair. I stepped back out of Owen's arm. I looked at him because this is the second time today he has read my mind. "You said the last bit out loud, about me killing you softly. I wasn't reading your mind but technically now I am. But I'm kinda reading your face...", the words tumbled out of Owen as if he was Gray. "Claire, I know I have angered you, but I promised Karen that you would be in a good mood. So even if you are still p!ssed. Just please smile. Don't forget our parents will be there as well", Owen spoke rather gingerly. I suppose he didn't want me to burst into tears again or go on another rampage. To be honest he was really starting to p!ss me off. I just wish he would shut up. Breathe. Just breathe. 10  9  8  7  6  5  4  3  2  1. Ding. Perfect timing the elevator opened. I peered up at Owen, who was probably waiting for me to react in some sort of way. "Okay, I won't say anything if you don't. Let's go and find out what Karen wants", I said calmly as we stepped off. "And find Olivia" Owen added. I gave him one look. One look and he quickly shut up. Now was not the time or place for his intentional unfunny jokes. My lips parted as I considered having a go at him, yet again but I  thought better of it, as I watched him gulp nervously. Get through today and tomorrow then it will all be over. Just relax and smile, I thought as we headed to the breakfast hall. Just relax and smile.
