Don't Let Me Go Part 1- Clare and Eli.

"When you come back from break, you won't recognize this place at all." That was the last thing that any student heard before break. Everyone was still a little shaken up about the whole "stabbing" incident, especially Clare. Every night she would have a nightmare about the whole situation, but it would be different every night. Sometimes, Fitz would kill himself. Sometimes, he'd really stab Eli. Sometimes, she would run in front of the knife and die for Eli. She barely slept because of them.

Eli was worse though. Time after time, he envisioned Clare dying in his nightmares, or him dying, leaving her how he was with Julia. All he wanted to do was call her, but he couldn't do that. She needed space, and he respected that. He could wait until the first day back at break, it was only tomorrow anyway.

The annoying buzz from Clare's alarm clock woke her up at 6:00. She hit snooze and took her best attempt at falling back asleep, but falied. A couple of minutes later, she shut her alarm clock off fully, and sighed as she got out of bed and went into the shower.

As she washed her naturally curly hair, she closed her eyes for a short moment. She saw Eli, begging for his life. Fitz came closer and closer to him, until her finally shoved the knife right in his heart, killing him instantly.

She must've been screaming, because her mom came in and asked her if she was okay. She muttered a small "yeah." and her mom gave her a look of worry before heading out of the bathroom and into the kitchen. Quickly, she got out of the shower and got ready for school.

Eli got up quickly, took a shower, and got ready. He left his house at 7:00, even though school wasn't until 8:30. He had to take a little detour.

Driving soothed him. It made him forget, and he liked that, so he didn't mind doing this at all. He drove to North Toronto, because that was the nearest place he could buy these orange roses that Clare loved so much. He'd be a little late for school, but he didn't mind. He really wasn't looking forward to being where he was in his nightmares every night anyway.

It was about 10:00 and Clare was in english, the only class she have with Eli. She wanted to tell him that she wasn't mad anymore, that she loved him and she's glad he's okay. She wanted to, but he was no where in sight. She waited all period, but he never came. After the bell rang, she went over to her locker and saw one orange rose taped to my locker, with a small note attached to it that read "Meet me at Morty when you see this - Eli." She smiled to herself. She had math next, but she didn't care. She walked out of the school and walked to the parking lot. She saw Eli sitting in the driver's seat of his car, sleeping. She smiled a little and tapped lightly on the window. He quickly picked his head up and turned to look at her, with a sad look on his face. She saw him mouth the word "fuck" and then motion for her to move a little so he wouldn't hit her with his car door.

"I had this whole thing planned out. I was gonna give you those flowers you love, and have your favorite music on, and then I was gonna hold you close. I was gonna hold you close and never let go, or at least pretend that I could never let you go, because if I had that choice, it would be happening." He took her in his arms and put his mouth close to Clare's ear. "And then I was going to whisper that I love you."

She pulled back slowly and stared into his eyes before placing a passionate kiss on his lips. She jumped into his arms and straddled her legs around his waist as they made out. When they broke apart, she went to his ear and whispered "I guess I kind of love you too." She heard him let out a laugh as they kissed again.

This is only part one, I plan on doing the whole rest of the season. I have my own storylines for all of the characters and everything! Next chapter is still gonna be Don't Let Me Go Part 1, but it'll be surrounding Anya and Wesley. I know it sounds uninteresting, but please read and review!
