"Maybe we were just not meant to be"
Clare smiled at Eli from across the hall.
"Do you want some coffee? Eli said to Clare. He wanted to cheer her up because the look on her face just made him sad.
"Sure, The Dot?" Clare smiled at him?
"Yeah, I'll just call Bullfrog to pick us up since the hospital is not in walking distance of The Dot." Eli pulled out his cell and started to dial his father. Then Clare took the phone out of his hand.
"I'd rather walk there I need get my mind off things..." Clare trailed off and looked down at the floor. She started to cry. She soon realized what she was doing and wiped away her tears and looked at Eli.
"Sure lets walk." The said their goodbyes and get well soons to Adam and went on their way.
"So, how are you doing with you know…everything? Clare asked interested.
"I'm doing a lot for asking." He smiled at Clare. Eli noticed she was shivering so he gave her his jacket.
"Thanks but I'm fine."
"No, keep it on I insist we have another 15 blocks to cover and I don't want you to freeze." He looked at Clare. She was blushing.
The two headed on over to the Dot in Silence.
"Two lattes please?" Eli asked the barrista. He was taking out his wallet getting ready to pay when Clare stopped him.
"Eli it's okay I can pay for myself" Clare said.
"No, I insist. You have had a hard day and you need a friend. I guess I will have to do." He chuckled.
"Thanks Eli you're really sweet." She smiled at him and then sipped her latte.
Eli looked into Clare's beautiful blue eyes and even though she smiled he saw that she was sad.
Before they knew it two hours had passed... and Clare looked at her phone and realized it was way past her curfew. Yet her mom had not called.
"Eli I think I should go." She said quietly not really wanting to leave.
"Sure, I'll walk you home." He smiled at her wanting to spend more time together.
They started to walk home and realized what it had gotten even colder outside... So they decided to stay closer to each other to keep warm.
When they got to Clare's house, Clare noticed that Jake's dad's truck was still in the driveway. She hesitated and realized that she did not want to see her mom and future step dad just yet. She needed more time as well as a place to crash for the night while she got her thoughts together. Then she had an idea, she was going to ask Eli if she could stay at his house for the night.
"Hey Eli... I don't want to face my mom yet and I don't want to be alone and I am in need of a friend. Do you think I could maybe stay at your house for the night."
"I have no problem with it. Let me just call Cece and check with her." He pulled out his phone and called his mom while Clare sat on the curb. Eli got off the phone and sat next to Clare. "She said it's fine with her and Bullfrog." Clare gave him a hug.
"Thank you so much Eli. You are a really good friend. Now all I have to do is sneak some clothes out of my room without those two noticing." She giggled.
"How about you just borrow a pair of my sweats and a tshirt... also i should warn you that you are sleeping in my room with me."
Clare blushed."T-t-that's fine. I'll just tell my mom I am staying at a friends house tonight." She smiled sweetly at Eli.
