[HW] Kim's Family

[Jerred Boneman]

"Wolfy..." Jerred said, feeling a slight rage come over him. "I'll hunt him down and kill him..."

[Kim Rivers]

Claire shook her head. "Dan was a great member of our pack. He was caring and loving. He wasnt a bad guy either, wouldnt hurt a human if he could help it. I guess his niceness was his downfall. Though, the shooter paid, the pack hunted him down and mauled him quite bad. I did the worst though. He was the only guy i will ever love"

Kim realised now, how easy her sister found it to open up to people. Thats a part of her Kim wished to be like. She now decided to be more open, at least with Jerred. "Claire.. im sorry"

[Jerred Boneman]

Jerred held Kim in his arms and held her tightly. He kissed her forehead before letting go and walking over to Claires bed. He took her hand and held it firmly, squeezing ever so slightly.

"You'll find someone else," he said, looking into her eyes. "There's lots of caring guys out there."

[Kim Rivers]

"Ever need a friend Claire.. Jerred's always there for you" Kim smiled

"Kimba.. You'll always be more than just my sister.. Your my best friend too." She looked at Jerred and felt him squeeze her hand, she smiled "Anymore caring guys like you out there?" She asked

[Jerred Boneman]

"A few." Jerred said, smiling and shrugging. "But the one thing I can't promise is if there is another one here at the school."

[Kim Rivers]

Kim smiled "There are.. well three other alright guys here. Brian Chase.. But he's dating a very good friend of mine, Fin but hes dating Lisa.. And Keiron.. And i dont know whats going on with him at this minute" she smiled

Claire smiled "Either way im quite happy how i am. Really"

[Jerred Boneman]

Jerred smiled, before standing and allowing Kim to sit down. "Hey, Claire, you don't have to find someone right now." Jerred said as he put his arms around Kim's shoulders.

[Kim Rivers]

Kim put her arms around Jerreds back. "Yeah! There are tons of guys in the world who would be more than happy to date you!"

Claire lay back down and stared at the ceiling. She lay in thought for a minute before opening her mouth to speak, then closing it again. "Yeah i guess. But you see, i dont want anybody else. The thing with me and Dan. The feelings were clear. Everything was perfect. It's like we knew, we were meant to be together.. for the long haul... not just for a little while. It was real. A lot of couples... the words I love you, mean nothing, they're just words to them. But me and Dan... when we said them we meant them, i felt the words when he said it. I knew what it meant. And a lot of people dont... even if they say they do, love isnt clear to them. To love someone, you've got to trust them completley... depend on them to an extent. Feel like you cant be without them. And thats how me and Dan felt." She smiled "I can see him everynight when i go to sleep, i dont even look at other guys. Dan is the only guy for me. The only guy i will ever love. Theres no room in my heart for anybody else. I dont even think another guy is cute. I see every other guy as ugly. No one can even compare to him and the way he made me feel" She sat up and looked at Kim and Jerred. "Its like... When you meet someone and you know your meant to be. Together. Forever. Not many people found that, but i did... call me old fashioned, but ill die before i get with anybody else. I'll go through my education, get a decent job, but ill never marry and ill never have children. Those things were only meant to be with Daniel. And hes not here" She looked away "The only guy i will ever love is dead... cause of some... some... some HUMAN!" the last word came out angrily. A tear flowed silently down her face. "He wasnt even given a real send off... just devoured by the rest of the pack. Thats what happens to werewolves who die... They get eaten by the rest of the pack. Dad should have been but he's lay over there dead. I didnt eat Dan, even thinking about it knocks me sick"

[Jerred Boneman]

Jerred held Kim tighter. He fought back a wave of nausea as he heard that werewolves were cannibals, or at least in Claire's pack. Jerred thought of something.

"You're saying that now, Claire, but then a guy like Dan will come along and sweep you off your feet." Jerred began, "Then you'll think differently."

[Kim Rivers]

Kim took Jerreds hand but not taking her eyes of her sister. "No she wont. She found the only guy who would ever fulfill everything she needed."

Claire smiled "Kim knows me better than anyone. And she's right, i wont find anyone else. But i think i like that. I'd feel i would have betrayed him otherwise."

[Jerred Boneman]

Jerred gripped Kim's hands warmly then looked at Claire. "You can't go about in life by yourself... I know I'm not the best one to say this, considering the circumstances that Kim and I first met, but Claire, you'll find someone else, if not love then just companionship." He hoped he didn't strike a nerve with either sister.

[Kim Rivers]

Kim looked at him and smiled. She thought she'd let Claire handle this one.

"I wont be alone. I'll have Kim and she's all i'll need." Claire looked him strait in the eye "Without sounding rude but dont you get it? When you finally find the one person you cant even think of a future without, your both happy and know what one another means to each other, you feel the words i love you, not just hear them or say them... When that person either dies, or leaves, you come back and tell me your still hoping to find someone. Because, the heart doesnt beat like that. Mine and Dans both beat in the same way, completley syncronised. No-one else will ever make me feel like that again. I dont want anybody else in my life like that. My family, Kim and Jayke, are all i need... Nobody else matters"

[Jerred Boneman]

Jerred simply shook his head. "I understand." Jerred said, then tried searching for the right words. "So I don't matter at all, being the one with your sister? Nor any of the friends you're bound to make? Nor any guys who may fall head over heals for you?"

[Kim Rivers]

Kim glared at him. "I dont think she meant that"

Claire smiled "No.. i didnt, though i know it came across like that. Right now, all that matters to me, in a big way, is my family. I dont really know you so i couldnt say whether it would bother me if you walked away. Im not saying in the future, friends wont matter to be because they will. But as for people falling head over heels, they could do a triple flip and i wouldnt glance twice at them"

[Jerred Boneman]

Jerred sighed, knowing he was defeated. "Alright... you win, though I don't like to admit it." Jerred said. "Besides, I count you as a friend now, Claire, though it may make Kim a little jealous." He glanced at Kim and shot her a smile.
