Author's Note: This is my first attempt at writing a fan fiction for this site, so don't be too hard on me. *Hides behind random object* this is my Eclare fanfic, so I will write it however I choose, but reviews are always nice. Pm me for ideas ( I always welcome them) and I will very much consider them well I think I have dragged on enough with my "author" crap, so onward we go!
Clare will be slightly occ. There, I warned you, so don't be like, 'Clare would never do that!' or 'Clare is too Christian for this'. I warned you. And the title has nothing to do with the song Someone like Me by Röyksopp.
Chapter 1: Someone Like Me
Clare never believed in second chances. She grew up in a place where everyone was good, but after she met Eli, everything began to change. He had showed her the bad in the world and how not everyone has good in them. She knew at once that giving up her Christian ways was going to be much easier with Eli around.
"Come on Clare, you're taking forever!" Eli shouted from behind her closed bedroom door. "If you're not out in two minutes, I'm coming in there!"
"Don't you dare." He heard Clare shout.
Eli had no intentions of going into Clare's room; he just liked freaking her out. It was so easy to make her nervous, every little thing he said made her blush and he loved it.
Clare then came out of her room and made Eli lose his train of thought.
He jumped and she giggled nervously.
"Are you finally ready?" Eli asked with fake anger.
Clare giggled some more and answered in a cute tone, "Where to my dear?"
"You'll see." Eli answered and Clare immediately got worried.
When Eli didn't tell her where they were going she would be paranoid and wonder where they were going instead of enjoying Eli's company.
"Will you please just tell me?" Clare begged.
"Because I like making you wonder."
"Please?"
"Never, now come on." Eli practically dragged her to Morty.
Eli started up his hearse and Clare started playing with the radio stations and started singing quietly. It seemed like a good tune, so Eli hummed along.
After about 20 minutes of driving around aimlessly, Eli came to a stop at a graveyard two streets over. He had been dreading the day he took Clare here, but he knew that it was now or never.
"Why are we here Eli?" Clare asked in a nervous tone.
"I want you to meet someone." Eli answered.
"O-okay E-Eli."
"Trust me Clare, it's fine."
"O-okay."
Eli leaded Clare down a path and stopped in front of a tombstone that read "Julia Florance, Daughter and Sister, 1993-2009."
"C-Clare. I-I want you to meet Julia." Eli stammered.
"H-hi Julia. I'm Clare and I'm glad to finally meet you. Eli has told me so much about you. I'm his girlfriend now and I hope you approve. I bet you do. You probably want him to be happy after all that he went through." Clare spoke to the tombstone.
"Julia I am happy now, and I hope you are too. I'm sorry about our fight and I would do anything to take it back, but I'm glad I have Clare. She makes me happy, she will never be you, but she is perfect." Eli said softly, more to himself than anyone else.
Eli got up, and Clare followed. They got in Morty and Clare sobbed softly.
"Clare, why are you crying?" Eli asked in a worried tone.
"Sometimes I feel like you still love her and your using me to try and get rid of the depression." Clare sobbed.
"Oh my god Clare, I would never do that to you! I can't believe that thought would even cross your mind. You're perfect and I love you more than I ever loved Julia and more than I will ever love someone." Eli answered in a hurt tone.
Clare then felt very stupid for letting one sentence get to her, "Forgive me?"
Eli gave her an answer that crushed her. "Maybe."
The drive home was silent. They had no words for each other. Clare was broken hearted and Eli was angry.
They arrived at Clare's house and Eli kissed her cheek and said he would see her in English tomorrow.
Clare ran inside and hid in her bedroom. She was home alone so she could cry and scream without anyone noticing. She also didn't have to listen to her parents fight.
After about 20 minutes of continuous sobbing and the occasional scream she decided to log into FaceRange.
A small bubble popped up in the corner of her screen saying she had a new instant message. Her heart jumped when she saw it was Eli.
Eli-Gold23: Do we have any English homework?
Clare's heart dropped.
Clare-E21: No. We have a project due on Friday about the play The Sound Of Music though. I thought maybe we could work on it together tomorrow?
Eli-Gold23: Yeah, I guess we could. But only for a few hours.
Clare-E21: Why?
Eli-Gold23: Tomorrow is guys night remember? Every Wednesday, you knew that.
Clare-E21: Oh yeah. Sorry, I forgot. And anyway, I'm sorry about earlier. I don't know what I was thinking.
Eli-Gold23: You didn't and I have to go. Bye.
Clare-E21: I love you. Bye.
*Message Failed to Send. Eli-Gold23 has logged out*
Finally, after hours of sobbing, Clare fell asleep; hugging the bear Eli won for her at the fair last month.
Arg! Damn, that was really long.. Well maybe not. Haha. Well reviews make my day. I don't know when I'll update because even though its 3:30 am, It is my last day of break and school is kinda busy.
