Eli's POV:
"I'm sorry…Clare's dead."
"N-No…"
"I'm sorry, she's gone."
"No. S-she can't be dead I-I just saw her. I was just with her…" My heart raced as my breath hitched. The doctor kept nodding and apologizing but it was too late. My mind was gone…
"Son Clare was-"
"I know what happened!" I screamed as tears began to fall. My love, my Clare, s-she was gone.
"I was there." I whispered.
The doctor's hand fell to my shoulder and my knees collapsed under the weight. My body couldn't take the ache as it spread through my chest. This was a night mare… it had to be….
"There was nothing we could do…we lost her at-"
"Don't!" I screamed. Everyone in the small room stared as my world collapsed. They watched as I slowly lost my twisted mind, "D-Don't say it…please…"
The doctor nodded, "I-I'm sorry son….we tried."

"Dear Clare" My fingers seemed to lock up after that. Clare always did have the ability to make me speechless. I could recall plenty of times we would just lay in perfect silence and take in each other's presents. She had a way of capturing me and putting me under her sweet spell. I used to love that, but now, now it was a curse.
I had spent a year typing the same two words "Dear Clare". My fingers had become familiar with my keyboard. I knew the touch and the sound as I pressed those six keys.
Clare wasn't just a girl to me. Clare was my everything. Her perfume was the sweet smell I woke up to. Her smile was my personal Mona Lisa. He laugh was the song that rung in my ears every moment of everyday. She was my everything…and she was gone.
"Dear Clare". The words stared at me as if challenging me to go on. Clare always told me I was wordy, but now…nothing.
I erased the document and closed my lap top. As I lay back on my bed my mind wondered. I remember the countless time we would cuddle and make love in this very spot. There were the sad times when you would cry in my arms and it was her heart that was aching. The thing was, I didn't care, because I could hold her. But now…now she's gone….

"You're perfect" I whispered softly into her ear as her head lay on my bare chest. My hand caressed the warm flesh of her back as our hearts beat in harmony.
Her wild curls shifted on my chest as she woke up with a smile on her face. She blushed as she took my lips with a soft kiss, "I love you." She smiled.
My arms circled around her waist. I pulled her tired body closer to mine as our goofy smiles and blushes spoke for themselves. It was silent, but that was all we needed. We were in love. At this moment I knew I would always love this blue eyed beauty.
I kissed her nose, "I love you too."

I closed the door to my hearse and stretched my legs as my body regained feeling. The drive here was brutal, but it was worth it, it was always worth it…
I made my way up to tall latter and climbed into the tree house I built just last summer. This was the tree house I built for Clare.
She and I had been to this spot a million time together. She loved coming here even if it was far away. During the drive over Clare would nap with her soft head on my lap. God I missed that…

"I want my first time to be…special." Clare whispered as we sat in the clearing.
I rubbed her head which rested on her shoulder, "I promise you Clare, when you're ready, your first time will be special."
"How?" She asked. Clare always asked questions. She was never satisfied with things like 'I'm fine' or 'My mom said she liked you' Clare always wanted specifics. I loved that about her.
I smiled, "I will make it very special, trust me Edwards…"
Clare bit her bottom lip, "I do…."

The very sleeping bag Clare and I made love on was still in here. She loved it here. It was our place and it always would be.

"You did all of this for me!" Clare shrieked as she looked up at the tree house I had built for her.
I smiled, "Do you like it?"
Clare giggled, "Do I like it! I love it!" Clare wrapped her arms around me and gave me a big kiss.
"Come on, I want you to see the inside." I took her hand and brought her up with me. She smiled when she saw it was painted a light blue color with tons of photos of Clare and I, her friends, her sister, us with my parents. Everything was for Clare.
I raised an eyebrow, "Do you remember when you said you wanted it to be special…?"
Clare blushed, "Yes?"
I smiled, "W-Well when you're ready…I hope this is special for you?"
Clare's blush deepened, "Y-you want us to have sex here?"
I shook my head. I stepped closer to her so I could whisper in her ear from behind, "When you're ready and you want to…I want to make love to you here, in this place I built for just us."
