The Way I Loved You
I thought I had it all the day I met Eli. When he told me I had pretty eyes then just drove off, the day he kissed me for the film project then ran off because he didn't want me to end up like Julia. The day I walked into his cluttered room. But the day he crashed Morty I wasn't so sure, and when he tried to frame Jake with the drugs, and all the pain suffering and medication. So now after his play and the powerful monolog why, do I Clare Edwards feel a little spark towards Eli after all this? Honestly I couldn't tell you.
I sat in his car silent as he had ever heard me but yet he said nothing either. I was deep in thought and not ready to face the many questions I knew he had.
"So do you think that happy ending crap was directed at you," Jake said in a sarcastically mad tone.
"Honestly I don't know," I said, but I was lying I knew it was about me, about the way Eli and I had ended things, about how he wanted me back. And for some reason I was sorry for saying that we would never get back together, because some awkward part of me started to maybe sort of love him for saying that whole monolog in front of the school.
"You sound sympathetic to the guy who put you through all that last semester; I don't think you thinking strait." He sounded mad maybe he saw through my little white lie.
"Can you just take me home I'm blown away that Eli said all that," I said madly at his mad remark.
The rest of the ride to my house was spent in silence. I didn't know what to say and neither did he I assumed. We stopped at my house then he got out and opened the door for me and helped me out of his big red pick-up truck. He walked me to my door and as I struggled with the key I heard him clear his through like he was waiting for something.
"May I help you," I said sarcastically looking up from the now unlocked door, because I knew what he wanted.
"I'm waiting for my good night kiss" Jake said and bent down so I could reach his lips.
I moved closer to him on my tippy toes and kissed him we stood there for about three minutes kissing. Maybe I didn't stop because I wanted to feel something, a spark like I did before tonight. But I didn't, all I felt was the lack of air going to my head.
