Clare's POV:

I can't wait until tomorrow! Eli is coming home from school for break. After high school, Eli got a full scholar ship to NYC, and I couldn't let him give it up. He promised me we would make it through, no matter what, and so far, it was working pretty well. I missed him like hell though.

Though it was cheesy, Eli and I saw Dear John before he left. He promised me we wouldn't be the next John and Savannah, we were gonna make it. To make it even cheesier, Eli bought me a journal to write him everything I ever wanted to say to him when I couldn't. Eli promised when he came back he would read EVERY letter. I was nervous for him to read a few, because when I missed him, the letters got ugly, but I really did want him to see them.

Since this was my last lonely night for a few weeks, I decided to write him one more letter. I pulled out my black leather notebook, and unclasped the skull bound lock. It was like the perfect reminder of him.

Dear Eli,

You're coming home tomorrow! I am so excited! I miss you so much it hurts sometimes, but I will never admit that. I guess that's one of the perks of these letters. I love you baby, and I want to see you, feel you, hear you, smell you, hold you. I hope you still love me. I hope nothing has changed. I really really hope we haven't grown apart. I don't think I could breath if we did. Well I need some beauty sleep before I pick you up. Please tell me why your flight has to come in at six am? No complaints though, I get more you time. Well I'm gonna save all my sappy stuff for you tomorrow. I love you so much baby, please come home.

Love you always,

Your Clare

I sigh and close my notebook. I can't wait for tomorrow. I get up and grab a pair of Eli's stolen boxers and his sweatshirt. I love sleeping in his clothes; they make me feel closer to him. I curl up in bed, and pray for morning.

My alarm went off in the morning, and I shot out of bed. I don't give a damn weather it 5 am or not, I wanted to look nice for Eli. I decided to add curls to my already curly hair. I put on a little bit of black eye liner and a pinch of golden eye shadow. I only wanted a highlight. I decided to wear dark blue boot cut jeans, a green cardigan, and black boots. I checked the clock, 5:30, perfect.

My stomach was in knots, waiting for him was a nightmare. Security won't let me past the metal detectors. I wasn't really sure if I should make a scene or give Eli a discreet kiss. God, I just wish he would come out already! Just his presents alone would calm me down.

I got my wish. I see Eli's gorgeous face coming towards me. I smiled, and he smirked at me. He looked the same, gorgeous and gothic. And he obviously still had his smirk. I still hadn't decided how to greet him, but before I could, Eli runs up to me, picks me up, and kisses me with all the passion in his body. I was in shock for a second, but I kissed him back with equal passion and love. Before we went too far, Eli put me down, but pulled me tight to him.

I was breathless from the kiss, and speechless to be with him. His eyes met mine, and I knew I didn't need to say anything. His eyes only showed love.

"I missed you blue eyes," He finally says.

I smile, hearing his warm voice, "I missed you too, so much."

"I love you Clare," He reminds me.

It was so good to hear him say it, "I love you too baby. I missed hearing that."

He chuckles and kisses me, gently, "If you wanted to hear it, you could have called."

I roll my eyes, "I know. But it's different hearing it in person. Having you here is like the perfect package. I'm so glad your home."

"It's good to be home baby," He says, "So are you staying with me and my parents, or are you staying put at home?" He questions.

He asked me to stay at his house over the break so we would get more time together. The truth is, my parents Okayed it the night he asked, but I wanted to surprise him, "Well I don't know. Give me one good reason why I should leave my warm comfy home?" I challenge.

He smirks at me, "Well, you love my parents," He cups my face to look in my eyes, "You love me," He leans over to whisper in my ear, "And you happen to love my bed as well."

I giggle and blush a deep red, "Could you shut up? We are in the airport."

Eli shrugs, "Let's get the hell out of here baby."

After we grab his bags, I drive us back to his place. We chat with his parents for a bit, but when it gets late, he decides to take me out to dinner. I figured we would just go to the Dot or something, but instead, he took me to a very expensive sushi restaurant.

"Eli, this place looks really expensive." I say, a little worried. Where did he get the money to pay for this?

He smiles, and takes me hand, squeezing it for reassurance, "No worries my sweet Clare. I have been saving, order whatever you want. I got it covered."

I smile and kiss his cheek, "This is perfect," I say, checking the place out. It was really amazing. The ceiling was glass, and there were fish tank poles leading up the ceilings along the walls. The booths had gorgeous stain glass tables with fish designs. It was very nice.

"So tell me about college. How's New York?" I question.

Eli smiles wide, "It's really great. My classes are really good, and I love rooming with Adam. I can't wait for you to join me next year."

I raise an eyebrow, "Next year?"

He nods, "If you want. I would love to do the whole cheesy couple walk through central park thing with you. I don't want to be apart from you for four more years. But I know you are really set on Smithdale, right?"

I shake my head, "I guess this is pathetic 'I miss my boyfriend' confession time. When you settled on NYU, I looked it up. I have been doing research, I like what I see. So, I applied."

"Really?" Eli's eyes widened.

I nod, "Yeah, I miss you. I won't wait four years to be back together."

Eli turns to face me and takes both my hands, "Baby I can't believe you did that! That's amazing! Do you know when you will hear back?"

"I think in a few days. I am really nervous though, if I don't get in, what happens to us?" I ask.

"Nothing changes. We see each other on breaks, or I transfer, or you try again next year. Or something, but break up isn't an option, so please don't go there." He pleads.

"Never. Just no, we can't ever break up." I say.

"Promise?" He asks.

"Promise." I repeat.

"Good, I can never lose you. So are you ready to go? You know I love you, but I am really tired." He says.

I smile, "Me too. I really missed falling asleep in your arms. I didn't know how important it was until I lost it."

He nods, "And Adam isn't as fun of a cuddle buddy as you are." He jokes.

I giggle, "Should I be jealous?" I smirk.

"Never." And we head home.

A/N: Should I continue?
