It had been years since the break up with Clare. I was getting over it, moving on. And apparently so was she. I saw her walking with this guy, he kinda reminded me of me, but not that much. Just the hair. He wasn't dressed at all like how I would, and I could tell from way over where I was standing that he had blue eyes not green. I followed them, not because of what you think, I wasn't jealous I followed them because I wanted to make sure he treated her right, when they weren't around people, but they got into an argument she said some hateful things and she said some hateful things, and he stormed off while she went inside their apartment building. I followed him.
"Hi, I'm Eli."
"Erik."
"So you're with Clare?"
"Yeah, but I don't know how much longer. So you the famous Eli of Clare's past?"
"That would be me."
"So..."
"Yeah, I have to go, I just got to tell you one thing."
"Go ahead."
"Before you fall in love with her, you should know a couple things about her. Like how she's been hurt and she isn't quite over it yet. Like how she's been damaged and she isn't quite fixed yet. Like how she's been broken and she isn't quite altogether yet. Because of what she's been through, she is not going to be an easy girl to be with. There might be times she'll confuse you, she'll drive you crazy, she'll seem distant, she wont make sense, she'll act careless, and all these things will make you hate her and you'll feel tempted to leave. But she's hoping that you wont give up on her, because if you do... she will to."
He looked stunned, he didn't even say anything he just started running towards their apartment.
"YOU'RE WELCOME!"
I screamed, he didn't stop just kept going. And I sighed and smiled a little bit, because during that whole speech... I only got a little jealous. I was getting over her.
