Twisted Love
"True love burns the brightest, but the brightest flames leave the deepest scars."
ElijahG123: You're so beautiful...your eyes, your cute little curves, those dimples that form when you smile...Clare Edwards, I love you.
ClareEdwards: We haven't even met...you can't love someone just because their profile picture looks nice.
ElijahG123: We've been talking over this stupid crap for a month...and I think it's about time we take our talking to the next level.
ClareEdwards: I don't know...if my parents found out I was talking with a boy online they'd call the police and take all my electronics away. Which, is understandable. If I found out my sixteen year old daughter was fooling around on the computer with a stranger...I'd definitely blow a gasket.
ElijahG123: There's two things I must question in your statement. 1) Fooling around? 2) Blow a gasket? Where are you from, the 1920s?
ClareEdwards: Hahaha, you're really funny Elijah. You can take that with you to your grave (: .
ElijahG123: Gladly. So, what do you say? Call me. 1-917-652-4566.
ElijahG123: I dare you.
ClareEdwards: I don't think it's such a good idea...
ElijahG123: What's the worst that could happen? Oh you're right, I could stab you through the phone and slice your ear off. (:
Clare stared down at the cellphone in her hands, and glanced back between the clock that read "2:55AM", and the message from her secret admirer she had met in an online social networking site. It was just one night, where she was extremely bored and needed someone to talk to.
That someone, is ElijahG123 from Brooklyn, New York.
ClareEdwards: I don't think I should call...what if my mom hears me?
ElijahG123: Call the number...you don't have to speak, I will.
Without hesitation, Clare's fingers blazed over the keypad faster than lightening. She was excited to hear this boys voice, and most of all, intrigued by what he had to say. This would be the first time hearing his voice, out of texting/IM'ing/Emailing everyday, back and forth, for one month.
Ring.
Ring.
Ring.
Ring...
ClareEdwards: Calling you...
"I'm well aware you're calling me Ms. Edwards. This late in the night? Scandalist!" She couldn't help it, the chuckle that escaped her lips was utterly impossible to prevent. His voice was deep, yet soft as well. His tone was gentle, yet mockingly at the same time.
"Good...morning, Clare Edwards. I just wanted you to call me, so I could say that you have the cutest little giggle in the world, and I'm going to marry you some day. Since the first moment I saw your picture on Facerange, I knew that you were the one. You have no flaw, Miss Clare. You're this perfect, alluring, extravagant, cute, adorable, hot, sexy woman who deserves to be praised everyday of her life, and taken care of. I'm sorry that that jackass KC didn't see that in you, but I do. You've been through a lot, but i'd like to be there for the rest of your time. Clare Edwards, will you be my..."
Her heart stopped.
Was he going to ask her to be...his girlfriend?
They were five hundred and two miles away, how could it ever work? Especially with Clare's controlling parents and overprotective step-brother, how could Clare visit Eli, or even...Eli visit Clare? Long distance relationships are said to be the hardest things ever, and how could two people do it, without ever meeting?
She just heard his voice, how could he be taking such a big step already?
"Hello? Clare? Are you there?" Eli called out, breaking Clare from her staring contest with the wall.
"I'm sorry", she whispered, "I'm here."
"I asked you a question...kind of waiting for the answer." He complained teasingly, as if he had somewhere to go.
"What was the question? I'm sorry, I blanked out a bit, for a couple of seconds." She admitted, full of embarrassment.
"I asked you to be my best friend silly!" He exclaimed loudly, Clare's ears ringing from his surprisingly high pitch.
"Of course I will, Eli."
Silence filled the conversation, and all that could be heard was Clare's low breathing. She had become worried that Eli was unhappy with her answer, or perhaps he asked a different question, and chickened out on repeating the real one.
Clare's heart pounded, as Eli admitted, "Clare...I don't know, if you feel the same way but...you honestly, have the cutest voice in the world. I just..I want to hug the shit out of you right now. You sound so cute and cuddly and just...I'd kill to wrap blankets around the both of us, and snuggle all day tomorrow instead of being on this computer talking..."
"Best friends cuddle? Who would've known?" Clare whispered jokingly, engaging in the conversation and not letting the chance of her mother waking up in the middle of the night to see her on the phone with a "stranger" from the internet, worry her.
"Clare...will you be my girlfriend?" He asked, his throat sounding strangely dry.
The entire conversation, Eli had been calm, cool, and collected. Until, it came to this very question. Clare could picture him sitting by his computer, his leg shaking, while biting his lip so roughly, drawing blood from nervousness. A drip of sweat falling from his forehead, while he gripped his phone tightly.
"Yes."
With she didn't know, was that answer was the beginning to unleashing all corruption and evil into Clare Edwards' world.
