Julia's Return: Chapter 1

Eli's POV:

It's been two years, he thought. Today, it would be 2 years since i lost Julia, I can't believe I went two long years without her. I mean I found Clare, but that isn't going as good as I planned, ever since Fitz's comeback, it's been non- stop fights between me and Clare. I can't believe she forgave him after what he did to me, to us. Sometimes I feel like I'm alone in life you know, like there's no one to guide you or comfort you, and you feel like you're just going to lose it. Julia was always there for me no matter what, even though she constenly got in trouble at school, and had to deal with the consent fighting between her and her step-mom. Her dad was the famous actor and director, James Anderson. She barely got to see him, since he was always at meetings and business trips and stuff. She was filthy rich, not even Adam's girlfriend, Fiona Coyne was as rich as Julia was. But Julia never cared about the money, she didn't even care that her dad was famous, she just loved enjoying life. She was a good student, extremely popular, beautiful,a good dancer,and a really good singer. But she was a badass. Consently pulling pranks on people and getting into fights with people who annoyed her, always having detention and getting suspended like once a month. But people loved her that way and so did Eli. After her death, everyone was depressed there was no more laughter in the hallways, no one to joke when Julia passed by, even our teachers were sad about her death, they just loved being entertained by Julia's sense of humor and smart ass comments in class. But she's gone now….. and he has decided that he had to gain Clare's trust again and become as close as they were before Fitz came back… he walked down the hallway to see Clare staring into space…probably thinking about something important….

Clare's POV:

I haven't seen Eli for 2 days straight, we were both ignoring each other since the day he read me his final draft on "Stalker Angel". I was completely creeped out when he said those words " he cuts her throat, drinks her blood and forever they are one". She was startled when someone cleared their throat. She turned around and saw Eli standing in front of her. "Hey" he said. "Hey, Eli", she put on the best fake smile she could. He leaned in and kissed her passionately. And for some unknown reason Clare, couldn't contain herself and she returned the kiss. He finally broke it off catching his breath.

" We should stop, we don't want to get detention, do we?"

I just slightly nodded and smiled. " Can I drive you home?" he asked. "Sure" I said. And with his arm around my waist, we walked out together.

We were pretty quiet during the drive home, Eli just sat there with his head turned towards the window. I stared at him and he had a worried look on his face, like he was lost in his own little world.

"Eli?", he didn't respond…

"Eli!", he turned his head and stared at me, "What's wrong?" he asked.

"Nothing, it's just that you seem like you're lost in another planet, and you won't even listen to me"

" Sorry Clare, I'm just not myself today", "Why what's wrong?" I asked. " Don't you know what today is?" he told me.

I thought about it for a second… "Eli's birthday…no his birthday already passed, school tests…nope… then she realized what he meant… "Of course, today the 2nd year anniversary of Julia's death, how could I forget?... "Ohhh..Eli, today is Julia's death anniversary… I'm sorry i forgot about it, it's just that I've had a lot on my mind lately and I just…. "Clare it's okay, I'm just really bummed out about it that's all" "Oh, okay then, well I think I should go I have a lot of homework to catch up on" she opened the door, as she was about to get out, Eli pulled in back in and kissed her deeply, not stopping for a breath. When the kiss was over Clare got out and smiled back at him, he waved and drove away.

Eli's POV:

As soon as I stepped in my house, I didn't even bother looking at my mom, I just went upstairs and dropped on my bed. Julia….Julia…Julia…. Julia was the only person he could think of right now, he tried thinking of how life would be if she was still here with me. We would have probably been dating again, after our big fight the night she died, I just couldn't stop blaming myself for it. He started thinking about that night….

Julia would always come on Wednesdays, she just loved spending time with me, especially after her fights with her step mom. It was raining really hard outside, when I heard the door. As soon as I opened it, Julia just swung her arms around me, I could tell she was crying. I didn't even bother asking why, I lifted her up, and carried her to my room. As soon as we were there, I put her down on my bed, and I kneeled down so she could look at me.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

" It's nothing" she said.

" Julia don't tell me it's nothing, because we both know that's not true" I told her.

She stared at me with those beautiful sparkling green eyes that I loved to see… " I just can't stand it anymore, why did my mom have to abandon us, why did she leave…. I just can- …I leaned in and kissed her, like I never kissed her before, this strong feeling just possessed me and before we knew it we were on my bed, Julia was on top of me, she didn't waste any time at all and started moving her hands around my body…she took off my shirt and I took off her jacket, next thing you knew all our clothes were on the floor and we were just enjoying every second of it.

" I love you Eli" she said

" I love you too Jules" I told her.

We stayed there for a few minutes… staring up at the ceiling, Julia was playing around with my ear and I was playing with her hair…

"You know what I just realized?" she said.

"What?" I asked

"We didn't use a condom" and she slightly giggled.

"Oops!" I told her, laughing.

She got up from the bed and headed towards the bathroom…

" Where you going?" I asked

" Bathroom.." she said laughing.

I got dressed while she was in there and when she got out she was dressed too. She sat on my lap and kissed my cheek. I kissed her forehead and we both laid down on my bed.

"Eli?..." she said

"Yeah?" I responded

"What would you do if I got pregnant?" she asked me with a serious face

" To be completely honest with you…. I don't know…"

She untied herself from my arms and got up. "What do you mean you don't know?" she replied slightly angry.

I saw her anger and tried to calm her down.

" Jules, I mean I would be at a lost of words, I wouldn't know what to do…but we would get through it..

She calmed down a bit but she was still angry, "Eli, would you like to be a dad?"

"At this age… not at all!", she looked annoyed at my response.

"Well… I think you might have to consider it because I think I might be….."

I suddenly realized what she meant and I jumped up.

"WHAT?" I yelled.

"Eli calm down, I'm not sure yet but I think I might be.."

JULIA…. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOUR PREGNANT WE CAN'T BE NORMAL ANYMORE… WE WOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH A KID 24/7…CHANGE HIM, FEED HIM, CLEAN HIM…"

"ELI, STOP SCREAMING I'M RIGHT HERE" she yelled.

"NO, JULIA I CANT, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS, THIS IS GOING TO RUIN OUR LIVES!..."

"WELL, WHAT IF I'AM PREGNANT, WHAT IF WE DO HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS, WHAT IF IT DOES RUIN OUR LIVES…IT WOULDN'T MATTER…!"

OHH REALLY… FOR ALL I KNOW THAT KID MIGHT NOT EVEN BE MINE!

That made her really angry, so angry that she slapped me across the face, she had never slapped me before and I was surprised.

"WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY, THAT IM SOME KIND OF SLUT, CHEATING ON MY BOYFRIEND?"

"I DON'T KNOW, WHY DON'T YOU TELL MEE!"

I realized that what I did was really wrong, but by the time I realized it was too late, she had already grabbed her stuff and was out the door. I ran after her trying to catch up, but she was running and she was way ahead…she headed towards crossing the street, the light was red but she crossed anyways, a car was coming her way…..

"JULIAAA!"

At the hospital I found out that the impact had killed her instantly. I went into a major meltdown after that tragic day…
