This is my new story about Eli and Clare. I hope you enjoy. (:

CLARES POV

I heard a quiet tap on the door and then heard a truck drive away.

I rushed down the stairs and swung open the door.

There sitting on my porch, were a dozen bright red roses. The card was settled into the roses, this brought a smile to my face.

Eli had been sending me flowers every week since he's left for college.

Dear Blue Eyes,

I know you've been having a rough week, I hope these make you smile a little brighter.

I miss and love you so much!

Love,

Your Eli.

The tug on my heart was pulling again; I hated being away from him for so long. He was about 2 hours away, he was so happy at college.

I felt my phone vibrate in my back pocket.

I looked at the caller ID and it was Eli, I didn't hesitate to answer.

"ELI!" I practically screamed into the phone, I grabbed one of the roses and placed it up to my nose.

'Sometimes you just gotta smell the roses'

"It feels like forever since I've talked to you last. I miss you so much it hurts. Do you like the roses?" His voice had always had a way of making me melt.

"I love them, they're beautiful. Thank you Eli." I was smile so big, it was starting to hurt.

"I want you to come home," I started pouting.

"I want to be home with you, I hate not having my other half always next to me." I could practically see his face now.

The separation had started to get to me.

The knocking in the background had pulled me out of thoughts.

"Hey Blue Eyes I have to go, I'll call you tomorrow. Goodnight sweets I love you." I could hear the strain in his voice.

"Goodnight Eli, I love you too" Saying goodnight was something we did every night. We never missed one since the day he left.

I heard the click of the phone. I placed the roses into the colorful vase with all the other roses I've gotten from Eli.

I'm going to need a bigger vase.

I checked the clock and it was only 8, hmm I should probably finish my homework.

I trudged up the stairs plopped down on my bed as soon as I set foot in my room.

I grabbed my books and sat there till 11 finishing all of the work the teachers decided to hammer on us tonight.

I must have fallen asleep as soon I was done since I woke up the sound of my alarm clock blaring.

Ugh, wait its Saturday. I forgot to turn my alarm off last night.

I quickly shut off my alarm and fell back into sleep.

"CLARE!"

I was suddenly in an open field of sunflowers, where did that voice come from? It sounded a lot like Elis voice.

"CLARE YOU HAVE TO SAVE ME!"

"ELI! ELI! WHERE ARE YOU?" I frantically started trying to find out which way the voice was coming from.

"You have to do something before it's too late, just remember I'm not completely gone yet." Eli's voice had begun to fade away.

The sunflowers around me suddenly changed into a beach.

Whoa, quick change.

I was the only one on the beach; the waves down the shore had started to crash violently against the rock.

At the top of the cliff was Morty.

Eli?

I was suddenly jolted awake, I was covered in sweat. What in the world? Such a weird dream.

I looked over at my clock to discover it was 11, I should probably get up.

I ran into the bathroom peeled off my clothes and stepped into the warm shower. The warm water rushed onto my back relaxing all the tension in my muscles.

I turned off the water, wrapped my towel around my body tightly.

I heard my phone going off in room and decided I'll call whoever was calling me now back later.

I quickly changed into one of my sun dresses. And did my make-up, I never put too much on cause Eli loved me 'natural' looks. He always told me make-up was hiding my true beauty.

I checked my phone and saw the miss call.

It was an unknown number, maybe they left a voicemail.

"Please enter your password then press #" I typed in my password, waiting for the lady to tell me my calls.

"You have 1 new voice message."

"First voice message: Hello this Deputy Marshall Wright from the people station of Toronto. I'm calling for Clare Edwards; this message is in regards to your boyfriend Elijah Goldsworthy. Miss Edwards at the best time for you would you immediately call us back at this number. Thank you."

Eli? Was he in trouble? What is going on?

I called back the number and a lady answered the phone.

"Hi this is Clare Edwards, I got a call this morning from Deputy Wright regarding my boyfriend." I tried to keep my voice as call as possible.

"Oh yes Ms. Edwards let me redirect your call to him, please hold" She sounded very bored.

"Hello this is Deputy Marshall Wright, Is this Clare Edwards?" His voice was staggered.

"Yes, it is. May I ask what is going on?" I heart was beginning to pound faster and faster with each passing second.

"Well Ms. Edwards, Elijah Goldsworthy.."

And I will leave it at that. (:
