Ok, I am going to be honest here, this story is very depressing… It is basically going to be the memories of Clare and Eli and how she is now. I encourage you to read because I was inspired by this and when I am inspired, my work is really good (If I may say so myself.) This WILL be a 3 shot I believe sense the song only has three versus and I don't feel like repeating the song… I will add a happier story or one shot though sometime soon so you don't get upset with me. Well enjoy beautifuls!

Stumbled across your picture today
I could barely breath
The moment stopped me cold,
Grabbed me like a thief.
I dialed your number, but you wouldn't be there
I knew the whole time, but it's still not fair
I just wanted to hear your voice,
I just needed to hear your voice.

I know I had to do it sometime… I had become stronger over the years and now it was time.

I pulled out an old box hidden under our- my bed… There had not been a day pass by that I haven't thought about him. I cried every time he came back into my memories…

I opened up the dirty cardboard box and looked inside.. There they were. Every picture ever token of me with Eli. I picked up a stack and determined the picture. I was at a picnic table with a white puffy cloud shaped like a heart in the background…

"Eli!" I giggled, "S-stop it!"

We were casually sitting in a quiet picnic area and all of the sudden Eli decided to get evil and attacked me on to the fresh green grass. He tickled me until I thought I was going to be sick and finally pulled me close to his side laying on the grass.

We looked up and saw white puffy clouds all over the sky. I noticed one in particular that was shaped like a heart. I pointed to eat and giggled and Eli looked up to see what I was being so girly about. He chuckled and leaned in to kiss my cheek.

I then took my camera out and wiggled my eyebrows at Eli. He rolled his eyes at me but agreed. He put his arms around my shoulders while I took a picture with one of my hands. I looked at it when I was finished and smiled when I saw the milky cloud right above us.

I remembered it perfectly… Eli's lips against my forehead and his whispers of sweet nothings in my ears. And now it was all gone. I didn't notice until my mind came back to reality that I had dropped the picture and was sobbing uncontrollably.

I ran to the phone and dialed the number that I knew so well… It rang for what felt like hours, and every time it did, my heart beat grew louder. I knew he wouldn't answer. It was impossible. I needed to hear his voice… I just needed to…

Finally the voicemail came on and I was waiting to hear his voice on the other line saying, "Sorry I missed your call, leave me a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks."

But no… It was to late.

"The number you are trying to reach does no longer exist-" I screamed into the phone and through it across the room. I sobbed uncontrollably and ran over to my box of empty paper and envelopes and picked up one of each and threw it on the table and started writing.

I felt my tears come down onto the paper as I wrote the words. Black ink mixing with my salty tears where ruining it, but I didn't care.

I wrote how much I hated him for leaving me here alone and didn't even say 'I love you' before he left. I also wrote that I was dying without him.

I grabbed the letter and threw it in the envelope and sealed it. I ran outside into the pouring rain and jammed it into my mailbox. As I came back inside, I realized that he wasn't going to write me back, he wasn't going to call me back, he wasn't ever going to come back at all, he was gone. Forever. And I couldn't except it.

I screamed for hours it seemed until my throat was dry from it and my eyes were bloodshot red. I fell to the floor holding my face in my hands and sobbed, feeling the ache in my heart.

I sat their for awhile, unable to move until finally crawling to my room not bothering getting on the bed, and cried on the hardwood floor until sleep got the best of me.

What do I do with all I need to say!
So much I wanna tell you everyday
Oh it breaks my heart,
I cry these tears in the dark.
I write these letters to you,
But they get lost in the blue,
'Cause there's no address in the stars.

Are you crying? I hope not. This was really sad to write, but I do promise that when I am finished with this story, it is going to be a happy ending… Kinda… You can't have a really happy ending when your love one is dead, but there are ways to make it happy. Review :D!
