Clare's P.O.V
It has been a month since I told Eli I would give him some time but it feels like forever. As everyday passes I lose a little faith. At this point I would likely be farther ahead to move on and find some else but my heart thinks differently. When he smirks at me I just melt and all day I can't get him out of my head but he isn't over his ex-girlfriend and I have to respect that. So lately I have been avoiding him. I sit with Alli while he sits with Adam, when we pass each other in the halls we exchange hellos and the only time we talk is during English class. We are slowly drifting apart but I guess it's a good thing; maybe not being around him is the best away to move and forget about him. But is that what I really want. I guess it doesn't matter, he will never love me without thinking about her and for once I know I deserve better!
Eli's P.O.V
One month. It has been one month since I told her about Julia. At the time it felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders but now we are drifting apart and I hate it. I really like Clare but I don't want to let go of Julia just yet. Maybe being with Clare can help me get over Julia. All I know is I can't lose Clare. So I finally decided, tomorrow I am going to ask Clare to be my girlfriend. I hope she will still have me.
