Wanting to make-up [Claire]

[peter]

December 1, 2008

Peter had finally come to his senses. He was going to go back on the path of a Hero. He wanted to be back on track. He was screwing up the entire change of events. He just had to be on top of his game and crawl back to the good side, but would they accept him back or not.

This is what frightens Peter that he wasn’t going to get accepted back to where he once stood. He hoped that he would be able to put the past behind himself and be able to do be brought back to the good side. He had been really good at not wanting to kill people. He was controlling the hunger.

He was surprised that he was controlling the hunger and that his twin brother could barely figure it out. He wondered if he should be a good brother and try to help him out. Perhaps he could later, but not now. Now he wanted to visit Claire. He needed to apologize. He sighed and pulled out his phone and text messaged Claire.

Claire,
Meet me at Starbucks in front of Kirby Plaza, we need to talk.
-Peter
He sent the text message to Claire and sighed as he was in front of Kirby Plaza where a Starbucks was and waited to see if Claire would actually show up.

Claire had been busy in her new house with Sam, putting up the Christmas decorations and listening to music, she hardly heard her cell phone make a sound when a text message had come in. Sam was working at the school, something she wondered if she should do herself, but decided against it. She felt she was better away from a place which would have a lot of people with different abilities.

Besides she was having too much fun being a wife and getting her and Sam's house into order. When the CD she was listening to was in the middle of changing songs she heard her cell phone bleep. She went over to the table where it was sitting, and flipped it open.

Text Message: Peter Petrelli - Read.

Of course she read the text message and was immediately excited to see that he wanted to meet up with her. Peter wanted to meet up with her. How awesome was that. The only thing which saddened her over his spiral out of control was him being unable to attend her wedding. She replied to his text telling him she'd be there.

About a half hour later she was walking toward Starbucks and she saw him. Immediately her heart started beating extremely fast. She had missed Peter. Peter had been her best friend, he had saved her life, Peter was even a crush at one point, but now he was just her uncle. Even though she couldn't think of him like that.

She walked up, put her hand on his shoulder, and walked round slowly to face him.

"Hello Peter" she said as she turned to face him. She had a taser gun in her pocket, just in case, as she wasn't sure what kind of reception she was going to get from him.

[peter]

Peter was surprised that he got a text message from her. So quickly. He then went in and order a coffee before coming back and sitting back at his chair. He hoped that she would be able to forgive him, for what he done. He was sorry for even doing that people.

He hated having the hunger consume him, but he had finally got it under control without any drugs. Unlike his twin brother.

"Hello Claire" He said with a smile. He had rarely smiled in an entire month. He couldn't believe that she would actually come. It was like that she wanted something. He just took a sip of his drink. "Sit down" He said as he pointed to the chair across from him. "I'm sorry I missed your wedding, Gabe said it was a blast" He said as he looked at the table not making eye contact with her.

[clairebear]

"It's good to see you" Claire said softly as she sat down on the seat opposite him like he suggested for her to do. He was apologising for not making her wedding. She wondered what else he would apologise about. Had Peter finally seen the error of his ways? She certainly hoped so, she had missed Peter so much.

"It was a good day, I'm happy Peter, but it would have been such a better day had you been there" she explained quietly as she looked down at her feet for a few seconds. She could feel a tear trickle down her cheek.

She didn't know why though. She didn't know if it was because she was sitting here talking to Peter, or whether it was because maybe, just maybe Peter might be turning to the good again and she'd have him back in her life the way he ought to be.

"Look at me Peter" she said, as she could no longer stop the tears from falling. However she wasn't sobbing, they were just quiet tears.

[peter]

“Right back at ya” He said in a soft tone as he watched her take a seat opposite of him. He was trying to be all good again. He wondered if this was even the right thing to do. He was trying to be put what he did the last month behind him. He knew it would be a reminder to him what he had done.

Peter who was still looking at the ground replied, “I’m glad you’re happy, and I’m sorry that I couldn’t be there, but perhaps it was best” He didn’t look up. He just could bear to look at her, for what he had. He was a murder just like his twin brother know what the hell was wrong with him?

The twenty-eight year old glanced up at Claire and sighed, “I’m looking at you” He said stating the obviously. He wondered why she tears were falling from her face.

[clairebear]

Claire smiled when Peter said it was good to see her too. "I'm glad" she said softly, still unsure as to why he had called her here, although it was obvious he wasn't about to cause trouble, because if he was, he would have started that already, of that she was sure.

"Maybe, but best for who Peter?" Claire asked slowly, "Better for me, or better for yourself? Because it wasn't better for me" she said, getting frustrated with him now. She loved Peter deeply, but the fact he'd went weird on her and the rest of them had blown Claire away. She never thought in a million years Peter would have turned against them all in the way he had.

"It's been horrible without you Peter, have you any idea what I've been through? Any idea at all?" she asked him, she wasn't even sure if he knew what Gabriel had done to her, she couldn't remember when Peter had gone down his path to destruction, so many things had happened, she couldn't be sure if he knew about what Gabriel had done before he went down the wrong path or after.

"You're looking at me now, but you weren't before" she said softly, as the tears continued to fall. "I've missed you so much Peter, its been hell without you" she said as the tears finally took hold and she became a bit of a mess. Now it was she who couldn't look him in the eye.

[peter]

He smiled and didn’t reply. He wasn’t sure if he should even tell her that he was back to his old self. He wasn’t sure if she would believe him or not, but it didn’t matter. Nothing did. It sucked. Then again he didn’t care.

“If it makes you feel any better, I was there briefly” He said sighed as he looked at her. It was true. He made an appearance but he was invisible. He didn’t want to be seen, and the only people that knew he was there was probably just Sylar.

“I know what you have been through, I was the one that told Sylar to go after your powers, it is my fault what he did to you” He said shaking his head. He buried his hands in his face. He couldn’t believe that he was admitting all of this.

Peter looked down at the ground as she said the things. He couldn’t watch her cry. Those tears were over him. He looked up at her once more, “As I look at it, it wasn’t hell without me” He said pausing “You got married, your suppose to be happy, not breaking down over me” He looked down at the floor. “Why the hell is everyone so happy expect me, you got your new husband, Nathan has Tracey, Sylar has Mohinder, and me I have no one…” He said as tears started to run down his face.

[clairebear]

"You were? How come I didn't know?" she asked Peter, and then realised he must have been there using his invisibility powers. "Oh I see, you used your invisibility powers didn't you?" she said, sighing gently. "It's not the same though, not really" she added, but smiled at him anyway.

When Peter said he knew what she'd gone through and that it was he who told Gabriel to go after her powers she couldn't believe it. She wanted to scream at him why and hit him around and shake him and run out on him, but she couldn't do any of it. Despite everything she still loved Peter, and she was already beginning to get over the fact she could no longer feel pain anyway.

"Well it doesn't really matter anymore anyway" she said softly and looking down at her feet momentarily. If Peter was going to finally go down the road of the good side again, she didn't want anything to mess with that.

She couldn't believe what she was hearing him say. Just because she had got married didn't mean that life without hadn't been hell. Did he not understand it? She had to guess he didn't understand at all.

"Yes I got married and yes I am very happy, but that doesn't mean watching you spiral out of control hasn't been hard on me, because it has" she explained sadly, as the tears continued to fall. When he started talking about having nobody she felt even worse. When he began to cry himself, Claire got up from her seat and walked round to his side, went down on her knees and pulled him close to her and hugged him tightly.

"I still love you Peter, despite everything and we'll get through this together" she said softly. Peter was her uncle, but to Claire he was more than an uncle, he was one of her closest friends and his path of destruction probably hurt her more than anybody, but because of the close bond they shared, it was also easy to forgive him anything.

After a few moments, she gently pulled out of the hug, "You know, I have a friend Rosie, older than me, but I get on well with her, she might be able to fill that empty void of yours" Claire said with a smile through her tears. She didn't know if he was hinting at getting involved with anybody at all, but it would seem everybody being happy around him was hurting him. Maybe Rosie and Peter could be good for each other.

[peter]

Peter sighed. Perhaps he should have showed his face at the wedding. But he was just too embarrassed. He was ashamed of what he had done. He was a monster and he didn’t want that to happen. He had vowed to use his powers for good, and one slip up and he used them for evil.

He was expecting Claire to scream about him or do something to him. However, she didn’t. He was surprised. He really couldn’t believe that she wouldn’t go on her temper tantrum. She was young and naïve at times, but she was quite mature and not selfish. Like he was.


“Your right it doesn’t, but I’m sorry what he had done to you, on my orders” He mentioned it again as looked up at the blue sky. He was on the road to be good again, he just had to figure out to prove himself to others.


“Well, I’m sorry it has. I just wished that I never absorbed that ability from Sylar, but I was selfish at the time, selfish because I wasn’t thinking” He said sighing “Then again, I absorbed the ability from Future Sylar, so that is kind of my fault in absorbing it from one of my lovely time-traveling events” He said shaking his head.

“I love you, also Claire” He said to her as he looked at her as she embraced a hug with him. He smiled. He needed a hug to make everything better, that is what he needed a hug. He didn’t want to hurt people anymore. He just wanted to be on the path of good.

He sighed, “That wouldn’t be Rosie Osborne would it?” He asked as he whipped the tears away from his face. “I think I can find someone on my own” He said with a smile “But thanks for the offer, Claire” He said with a polite tone.

[clairebear]

"Yeah, well am sorry too Peter, but what's done has been done, and you didn't really know what you were doing then, I don't blame you, plus it wasn't actually you who done it to me, I forgive you if that's what you want to hear me say, but as I see it, there's nothing to forgive" Claire said softly, as she looked into his face.

Yes Peter going on his path of destruction had upset her, but really, what could she do about it? She couldn't do anything about it then, and she couldn't do anything about it now. But Peter talking to her the way he was in Claire's eyes was definitely a good step in the right direction.

"It doesn't matter who you absorbed the ability from Peter, you're getting back control, and that's all that matters, trust me on this one" Claire said giving Peter a smile. Peter was special to Claire, she was so proud to be related to him, that when he did go down his path of destruction, that was why it had hurt her so much.

Even though he wouldn't be able to see it, Claire smiled warmly when Peter said he loved her too. She continued to hug him tightly for quite a while. She had missed Peter's hugs, and it seemed that hugging him now was the right thing to do. Maybe now, he could finally start a new life again. "That's good to hear Peter" she replied to his declaration of loving her too.

"Yeah it is Rosie Osborne" Claire said grinning, "But that's fine, I just thought I'd mention it, anyway, until you find someone, you will always have me" she said grinning, she knew it couldn't be acted on in anyway, but she also knew that they had a close bond and she knew Peter would be happy to know that she would always be here for him if he needed her.

[peter]

“Your right” He said as he nodded at her in agreement. She was right. What had happened was because of something else. He wasn’t thinking correctly, but he was going to go back in the right direction to the good side.

“I think your right” Peter said with a smile. She just had to be right. He was going to gain control. He just had to gain control. He wanted to control that ability. He also wanted to help Gabe with it, but he knew that he would just refuse an offer. Gabe was stubborn.

“Well, thanks for mentioning it I really appreciate it” He said with a smile.

[clairebear]

"Of course I'm right Peter, I'm always right" Claire said laughing, but she was winking as well so he would know she was just kidding with him. Thing is, Claire isn't always right. She'd made plenty of mistakes in the past, but luckily she had learned from them and became the better person she is now.

"Again, of course I'm right" she laughed, "Seriously though, I knew you could always have better control, you just had to think about the people who love and care for you to make you control it, and now look at you? Sitting opposite me, talking to me like nothing had happened, it's nice Peter. And again, I have really missed you" Claire said softly. She really had been very understanding of Peter and his situation. The Claire of old wouldn't have got it or understood and would have shouted at him, disowned maybe, but not now.

"No problem, you're going to make one lucky girl a very happy woman one day and be a fantastic husband and daddy" Claire said with a grin.

[peter]

Peter laughed at Claire as she laughed saying that she was always right. In Peter's opinion Claire was sometimes right. However, not all the time. He personally couldn't understand why teenagers especially cheerleaders had to think that they were always right.

Nothing seemed to make any sense.

He gave a weak smile as she aluted to herself being right again. "Stop being selfish" He said rolling his eyes. He was getting annoyed with her saying that she was always right. She was being selfish and Peter hated when people became selfish. Of course, he used to be selfish, but soon got ove that part of his life.

"And I can control it" He said sarcastic with a slight grin."And let's hope on that" He said with a wink.

[clairebear]

Okay so maybe Claire was being a little conceited at saying she was always right. But she was joking with Peter, after all she was laughing as she had said it, and she really hoped that Peter knew she had been kidding. However, Peter was laughing too, so she figured it must have been alright.

Then he told her not to be so selfish, which meant he didn't think she was kidding him. "Okay so I was sounding a little coneited, but I was just kidding, I thought you would have known that" Claire said and laughed.

"I know you can control it, if you can control it now Peter, it means you always had the ability to control it, and I shall hope on it, but I know you can do it" Claire said softly, smiling at him. It felt good to have her uncle and friend back. She really had missed Peter so much.

[peter]

“I know you were just kidding, but I just wanted to point out the obvious” He said with a slight smile. He just shook his head. This conversation was officially not making any sense and Peter didn’t care. He loved having awkward conversations.

It always made him a better person.

“I understand that now” He said with a smile. He was so glad to be back the way it was before. “Now if I can only help, my lovely twin with it” He said as his smile went into a frown.
