Chapter 1.

How are you?...

Clares POV-

I was at the grocery shop and looked over at Kevin; My three year old son.
"What kind of candy?" I asked him, holding up a milk chocolate candy bar and a baby bottle pop.
"Bottle pop..." He said, almost as if it were a question instead of an actually answer.
"You sure?" I looked at him, raising a brow. He nodded once and I handed it to him, "No don't open it until we cash out, Okay?"
"Okay momma." He replied, his eyes glowing.
As I was pulling back our cart to get out of the isle. I knocked into some and briefly turned around. "I'm so-" I looked up into the mans face and suddenly I knew who he was. I knew that angelic face anywhere. His piercing green eyes, his gorgeous smirk, and wavy, dark black hair. "Sorry?" I finished off my sentence. Lost at words; He smirked.
"Clare Diana Edwards..." He said, "It's been awhile since I last saw you."
"So it has, Elijah Skylear Goldsworthy" I stated, still quite stunned.
"How are you, Saint-Clare?" He chuckled, using my old highschool label I had.
"I'm swell. As for you, Goldsworthy?" I smiled.
"Fantastic." He said, raising a brow.

Elis POV-
Clare hadn't seemed to change much since the last time I saw her. Her creamy skin, auburn curls and bright blue orbs. She was... Beautiful.
"Thats lovely." Clare said, a warm smile plastering her face.
I nodded, "Yes, Yes it has." I smirked; My signature smirk.
"Ma!" I heard a small boy call and Clare turned.
"Yes, sweetie?" she asked, whole heartedly.
I looked at the child. He had Clares blue eyes, a short ear length hair cut and his hair was dark brown. He had Clares pale skin. Clare held her gaze on the young boy.
"Can we go to the park after we unload our food?" He smiled.
"Maybe," Clare smiled back, "Kevin, this is Eli. Eli, this is Kevin."
I smirked and looked at him, "You seem to have raised him well." I commented.
"Thank you." Clare beamed.
"My pleasure." I smirked, "How about... We all go to the park and I'll buy ice-cream." I said, "My treat."
"Oh Eli, you don't have too. Really..." Clare said, biting her lower lip, somewhat.
"But, I want to." I replied and looked back at Kevin, "What do you say?"
"I'd love too! Mommy pleeeease?" He gave Clare wide, puppy eyes.
"Oh, Alright fine!" Clare laughed and looked at me, mouthing a small "Thank you." I simply nodded and smiled.
"I must go uh... Pay for the food I got for Kevin and I." She had said, blushing slightly. Almost as if she were nervous.
"So...You're not married?" I questioned.
"No...He go too...Phyiscally abusive." She replied, chewing on her lip, like she had wanted to cry.
"Who was it?..." I asked.
She shot her gaze to the floor, "Fitz..." She said almost in a whisper.
I felt rage growing through me. Fitz... That name haunted me. "Oh." Was all I could mange to say at the moment.
"I'm sorry! I swear we only dated for about three years-" I cut her off with a scoff. "Eli, you left me, remember?" She shrieked, "I-I...I didn't know what to do. You moved on quite quickly. I threw myself at Fitz. I didn't love him. I love you..." She sighed and I looked at her sad and confused face. She hadn't loved me she loves me.
"Fine..." I said with a short shrug, "Let me take you out on a date; Nothing to big." I added so she couldn't say no, "And maybe I'll believe you." I said, my expression softening.
She smiled and nodded, "I'd love that..." She nodded, smiling warmly and wiping away her tears.

Sorry if the story upsets you... I just had an idea and let it grow on.
I put in an abusive past ex boyfriend to make Clares storyline more interesting; But Hey...Bringing Fitz back will be something.(;
I like it...If you don't...Oh well... ;3
