A Childish Romeo & Juliet

Chapter 1-Little Pieces

I cried with my head buried in my hands. Doesn't everybody have a right to love who they want. His face was all I could think of. I couldn't let the thought go. Eli and I were meant to be. But my mother didn't care. She, got in the way of our destined love. I felt lost in a pool of tears formed by my baby blue eyes. She couldn't do this to me. He was my life now. It wasn't going to change, though she hoped it would. I didn't care what she thought. I didn't want to let go. It felt like a terminal disease had overcome me. I could die at any moment. Romeo and Juliet never had this much trouble. I mean, sure they had to deal with the rivalry between their families, but they still felt their love was destined to be, so they made it work. Until Juliet killed herself. Okay, not the best example, but you get what I'm saying. Point is, he is my love and I am his, so one little bump in the road couldn't break us up for good or even at all.

I met Eli at his house. He was cleaning his black-walled room. I looked at him. His big green eyes were staring straight into mine. I knew I loved him.

"I was kicked out the house."

"Oh, well you are welcome to stay here," his voice was pure and deep.

"I'm sorry for everything. My mom and my dad are constantly fighting. It's always Randal this or Randal that. I don't know what to do." He hugged me tightly and kissed my forehead, assuring me that everything was going to be okay. We stayed in that position for at least ten minutes. We were startled by the sound of my mother's voice screaming my name from the downstairs of his house.

"Clare Marie Edwards! You get your butt down here this instant. There is no way that I will let you be alone upstairs with that thing you call a boyfriend." My mom screamed from the kitchen.

"How did she even get in here?" I mumbled to myself. Eli and I walked down the staircase only to see her face. She looked terrified.

"You are coming home now." She grabbed my arm and pulled me tightly.

"Don't touch her like that!" Eli screamed at my mom, and she released her grip on my arm. A red hand mark was imprinted on my forearm.

"I don't know what you want from my daughter, but judging from how you look, I don't think it's pretty nice. You need to stay away from my daughter."

"Even you just said it, judging from the way I look. Mrs. Edwards, I know I may not look like a nice person, but I love your daughter. And if you don't want your daughter to grow up hating you and become a horrible person, I suggest you let her be. She feels like she is dragged into your situations and it drives her insane. She can't stand you right now. So, leave. Now!" Eli screamed at the top of his lungs to my mom. My mom was drenched in tears after what she had heard. I truly didn't feel sorry for her. She left after a goodbye left my rose tainted lips.

"I can't believe she left that quickly. She just got out the door and her car is already gone." I started to feel kind of bad after the whole argument. But I still didn't change my mind about staying at Eli's place. The house he lived in was a block away from mine, so if I ever needed something, he was there for me.

"I love you Eli." I whispered in Eli's ear. He kissed my lips as his response.

"Always, blue eyes." He whispered back.

"Eli, promise that you will always be there for me." I said without a doubt deep in my mind.

"I promise. Just know that if you ever fall to little pieces, I will be the one to put you back together."

"I love you" we said in unison, before we hugged and separated, Eli heading for his room, and me heading for the living room couch.
