What Now?

Maisie

3I was new to this parenting thing and i had no idea what to do. I came out the bathroom and Owen had gone. I looked around. The trailer wasn't small but it wasn't that big either. It was quite homely.

(Fyi i know this isn't what Owens trailer looks like but it works for this book.)

I heard a noise from outside and when i looked Owen was sat there lost in his own little world. "Owen?"  "Hay." I walked out and sat in the chair next to him. "Are you ok?" I nodded. "Claire. This isn't your fault."  "Then why does it feel like that. Why does it feel that the press will find us and stand outside for a month." "They wont. ok. This feeling will pass i promise." "What about the nightmares?"  "I am here for you. ok."  "Owen?"  "Yeah."  "What are we? What is this?" "I miss you. Claire." "I miss you too Owen but i don't want this relationship to make Maisie feel uncomfortable." "That's fine but can we. Give us another go?"  I nodded and he smiled. "How's your leg?"  "Painful but i will live." 

I had gotten out of the shower and I heard voices outside. I stopped at the door and listened. They had been together before and i smiled. Of course they had. "I should go check on Maisie." I sat on the sofa and continued to read the book i had started in the car.. I was wearing ripped Jeans, a baggy beige top and white sneakers. We had stopped and brought some clothes before coming here and i had picked these out. 

Claire was wearing black jeans and heels with a grey blouse.

"Good book?"  "Yeah its called Pretty little liars." "Sounds good." "It is. Apparently there is a TV show based of it." "Maybe we can convince Owen to let us watch it." "Yes!" We both laughed and she sat down next to me. "You look nice."  "Thank you." We shared a smile and I felt at home. "Claire?" "Yeah?"  "Are you and Owen.. Like together?"  "We are giving our relationship a go. Why?"  "Because you two are totally adorable." We laughed again and Owen came inside. "What's going on?"  "Nothing. Maisie just thinks we make a cute couple."  He laughed to and if i had to chose anyone in the world to be my parents it would be these two. 

Owen downloaded an app called Netflix so i could watch Pll and while i watched the show Claire spent the night looking into my past. She needed to know if i was on the record and thankfully ,somehow, I was. After many phone calls and Emails they were told that they could look after me. Of course there would be papers and social workers but for now we could be a family. I had made Claire and Owen take the bed even after they insisted they could sleep on the couch. We all got cleaned and ready for bed and soon darkness took over my vision.

I ran over to Owen who was led in the middle of the room blood pouring out of him. "Owen!" I pushed him so he was lying on his back, his eyes were shut and he wasn't breathing. "Owen! Owen!" "Mom?" I looked over and Maisie was stood there. "Maisie!" The indoraptor shot at her and suddenly she was gone too. I got up and ran. I didn't know where I just ran. I finally escaped outside. Suddenly every light turned off and I was left stood in darkness. *Crack!* I turned to the noise but I couldnt see a thing.  I could hear my name being repeated but I had no idea where it was coming from. I could feel eyes watching me and the noise of twigs snapping got closer and closer. A single light turned on and the indoraptor was stood open mouthed ready to eat me. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Claire!" I shot up and saw Owen looking at me

I woke up to the noise of someone whimpering and crying. When I looked I saw it was Claire. She started screaming and breathing really heavily and I tried to wake her. She finally woke up and looked at me. "Owen?"  She burst into tears and I pulled her close to me. "Have they started again?" She nodded. The nightmares had continued for months after Jurassic World and they always got worse. I feared she would suffer that again. I heard a shuffle of feet and we both looked over to see Maisie stood there. Claire beckoned for her to come and sit. "Nightmare?" Maisie nodded. Claire made room next to her for Maisie and Maisie climbed in. She wrapped her arms around Claire and Claire did the same. I wrapped them both us in my arms and we all fell asleep holding one another close in hope we could go on without the haunting of the past.
