This might be a one-shot. Dunno. Review, Inbox me idea, Favorite, eat a sock, whatever…. So, let me stop talking now….follow me on degrassifacts via Twitter and ….yea…..so….
Clare's POV
It had been 6 days. 6 days since the crash and the breakup. If felt kinda different and…weird not having Elijah hovering around me. But like Alli said, its time for us to breakup. My mom broke my thoughts.
"Honey, im going to work now. Your dad should be over soon."
"Alright."
I watched her walk out into the rain but then she turned back.
"You sure you'll be alright until your dad comes?"
"Mom, I've been home alone before. I'll be alright. You can go."
She walked out. Of course I wasn't alright inside. I didn't want to break up with him but I guess it's for the best.
*10 minutes later* (Still Clare's POV)
I heard a knock at the door. Was it my dad? I peeked through the curtains to see Elijah. It was just drizzling lightly now. What should I do? What can I do? I can either open the door or…..CLOSE THE LIGHTS! Yea. I need to avoid him, now. I closed the lights and remained quiet.
Elijah's POV
I've been sitting across the street for the longest time now, wondering if I should go knock on Clare's door. Will she miss me? Will she be happy to see me? Shocked? Mad? I NEED to see her. I just saw Ms. Edwards leave about 10 minutes ago. I got up and went to go knock on Clare's door. My mind told me not to but my heart said yes. *knocks* I then saw lights go off in the house. I could see her figure through the curtains. She probably doesn't want to see me. Did I walk over here for nothing? No, I came here to fix things with Clare.
"Clare? Clare? I just want to talk. That's all."
"My mom's home, I don't think she'd want boys over today."
"I saw her leave."
Clare's POV
He's not leaving. He wants to talk but I cant. I don't want to. Its too much. I know its been almost a week but it's been a week too little. Im bound to see him in school but that's not for another week.
"Please Clare. Just open the door a little."
I opened the door half way and stood with half of my body inside and half outside of the door. Eli smiled.
"You look prettier than I remembered." I heard him whisper. I stepped back inside a little.
"What are you doing here?"
"I know we broke up but i….well….you see…i.. I'll just get to the point. I want to start all over-" I started to tense up. He started to speed up his talking
"I mean, forget everything. Start with a blank slate." I looked down, afraid I might cave in and say yes. I shook my head no.
"I cant Eli." I looked up at him and saw the disappointment in his face.
"I wish I could but I just can't."
"Why?"
"I just can't."
"Clare, if you won't give me another chance then at least explain why."
"Im afraid. That's the reason why."
"Clare, im going to start therapy when we get back to school next week. I just want you to be there for me. That's what girlfriends are for."
"That's what parents are for. I can't Eli. I said that already. Please don't make me say it again."
"Why did you make a promise that you couldn't keep? You should've never promised."
"You should get going before it starts to rain." I began to close the door then he pushed it open..
"Clare!" Me…getting yelled at…by Elijah Goldsworthy. I saw the shock in his eyes.
"I didn't mean to. I just…im sorry Clare." I began to cry.
Elijah's POV
What did I just do? Clare knows that I didn't mean to scream at her. She knows I can get like that sometimes. If only I had a time machine so I can rewind. Not to 2 minutes ago but to when I first met her. She began cry. I hate to see her cry. I began to step towards her. She stepped back.
"This is what I was scared of. Eli, you should be leaving now." I stepped towards her and hugged her. She tried to push me away but I wouldn't let her go. I would never let her go.
"Let's not go through this again, please? I cant, Eli!"
So, how'd you like it. Tell me and I might make it into a story. Maybe…..just review!
