Chapter 1
I didn't mean for all this to happen! It is seriously not my fault but at the same time I can't stand the fact that his heart is eating itself from the inside to the out. Eli is to warm hearted for him to be crazy like he is. He reached his point and this time it went too far. Let's start from the beginning.
It all started on an awkward fall day, it was really warm outside. I was heading home on my bike from helping Eli clean his room, and everything was going fine, but the words that Eli told me in the back of my mind made my heart jump three beats. I was so excited! His room was finally finished and he said that I could sleep over. I've been waiting for this day since I first met him but I am pretty sure he is nervous about it.
What? Woah? Car? No?
It only hurt for a little bit, just for a while, but then I fell into somber and I was soundless. I felt like I died but I didn't know. The next minute I see myself laying on the ground and I am outside of my inside. I saw them put me on the gurney and I saw Eli drop on his knees when he ran into the street to see what was going on. I finally realized I was unconscious. There goes my Saturday.
I remember the white room with the ugly multi-colored curtains. And me laying there with all the bandages wrapped around my head; and Eli. He was sitting there holding my hand on the phone with my parents crying; saying "Clare was in an accident... It was pretty bad, and she is unconscious. Get here as fast as possible."
I tried to calm him but he couldn't see me or hear me for that matter. I forgot I was having an out of body experience. Next he called Alli.
"Alli ah…. I don't know how to tell you this… but… Clare.. She… was in an um… a… accident. She is unconscious. If you can I think she needs you right now get to the hospital if possible." He howled to Alli. I reached over and hugged him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. I didn't care if he couldn't feel it I needed it, he needed it.
This line was still on as I did this Eli was trying to comfort Alli but the balling never stopped. I sat there till my parents came in just holding Eli. He wouldn't stop crying; holding my hand and that rusty old watch I gave him.
When my parents got there Eli said, "She hasn't moved but she will make it through; if I know Clare she will make it through." My mom came over and gave Eli a hug and said, "Since my daughter has met you she has come out of her shell. You should be very proud and thank you for taking care of her before now."
Eli Just smiled and said, "Well Clare doesn't even realize how much she means to and has done for me I owe it to her. I'll leave and give you guys some alone time with your daughter. "
He walked out and my parents just sat there and were crying and, the crying, it wouldn't stop.
