Few things to clear up:

1. Julia does not exist nor will she exist in this story. Rid her from your mind for this story.

2. This story will borderline M but will not go all the way. Just a warning.

3. Slight OOC but not so much. I'm gonna try to stay true to their characters but also make them fit my story better.

4. I had inspiration from many other media sources but I will make this my own.

5. This story has A LOT of surprises. But you'll enjoy it.

Here we go.

Friends in the womb. Best friends from birth to childhood. Childhood sweethearts. Teenagers in love. Destined to be together. These were the terms used to describe the relationship Eli Goldsworthy and Clare Edwards shared.

Their parents were best friends even before either of them had kids. The Edwards family was the first to have a child; a daughter they named Darcy. Then years later the Goldsworthy's would have their first and only child, Elijah but they called him Eli. A year or so later, the Edwards' welcomed their youngest Clare. Because of the small age gap between Eli and Clare, the parents joked about planning their wedding many years later. Once they were old enough to interact, Eli and Clare became inseparable. Then getting into their adolescent and teenage years, Clare and Eli began a relationship, much to the joy of their parents. Their relationship continued for years, that is, until the perfection wasn't exactly as it seemed. Their relationship wasn't perfection at all. And no one knew. Maybe neither of them knew either.

This is the relationship of Clare Edwards and Eli Goldsworthy. This sounds like a love story but be forewarned, it is not your typical love story.

A scene unfolded in Eli's room, who was 18 years old, and he was sitting in a corner, crying. His defenses were down, his emotions run rampant, his heart was crushed, and he, he could only cry. He held a picture in his hand. One that was slightly old and wrinkly but it was his favorite. It was of him and his girlfriend Clare. Well…ex-girlfriend now. He didn't know what to do. So he cried.

A relationship was over and Eli didn't know why it had ended. He thought everything was perfect. All he could see in his relationship with Clare was a future together, a future he had imagined ever since he was a young child. He knew his and Clare's parents probably had that future planned in their heads as well.

So why did the relationship end? And how did it end?
