Clare's eyes shone in the moonlight making them hold an even deeper blue than normal. Her curly auburn hair blew back from the slight breeze. She seemed to be deep in thought. Her blue orbs were staring into the night sky, and she had her elbows back leaning against the hood of Morty. Eli couldn't get his eyes off of her. To him there could be no one as beautiful as Clare. They weren't anything more than friends at the moment, but they both wanted more, even if neither would admit it.
Anyone could tell that the two had feelings for each other. Adam couldn't help but laugh every time Clare would get lost in Eli's forest green eyes. Every day one would ask about the other, and he had finally gotten tired of it. Soon he would find a way to bring the two together.
"Hey blue eyes I should probably be getting you home," he said with disappointment dripping from his words. Eli honestly never wanted this night to end, but he didn't want her parents hating him before they even started dating.
"Hmm... Oh yeah I guess we should," Clare slowly got up and looked at Eli taking in his black attire and gorgeous smirk. Before she had gotten interrupted she had been thinking about him and all of their urban adventures. They would spend all day scouting out Toronto finding the places hidden from the world. She was falling for Eli faster than she ever meant or wanted to. Clare knew that Eli didn't hold the same feelings for her though. Over the years she had forced herself to not believe in happy endings. Everything was falling apart around her, and no matter how much she wished she knew her life could never have a fairytale ending.
She was like every other girl in the world, just wanting to find the one guy who could always make you feel better. She used to pretend that she was the princesses in those stories. Every night Clare would have her father set up a makeshift castle and be the knight in shining armor. Even more so she wished that Eli could take the place of her dad in this story. It might not have been about fairies and trolls, but she was content with it. Some would say that she was settling, that she wasn't trying hard enough to reach her goals, but Clare would just laugh at them and go on stating her opinion on love.
Her guard was always up after what K.C. had done to her, but the walls just seemed to fall down when Eli was there. She didn't want them to fall, but if she would start to get nervous Eli would slowly pick them back up until she was fully ready for them to fall down.
Morty had slowly come to a stop in front of the Edward's household. Without even thinking Eli reached over and kissed off a tear that had been rolling down Clare's face. Her face turned to a slight crimson, and they both sat in silence for what seemed like ages.
"Well see you around blue eyes," and with that a shiny black hearse pulled away leaving a confused Clare in its dust.
