Clare's POV

It was Friday afternoon as I was sitting in class thinking. My parents were going to be gone this weekend because my aunt was having her baby. She had asked if my dad and mom could come up to Montréal to be with her. Spending hours in the car will all that tension was not something I particularly wanted to do. I asked if I could stay home because I had "massive amounts of homework" and my mom agreed. This was the most exciting thing that had happened to me in a while. Two full days without any fighting? SCORE! *Brrrring* the bell rang interrupting my thoughts.

"Okay Class you are dismissed." Mrs. Dawes said. I got up and walked out the door heading towards my locker.

"Hey Edwards! Wait up!" A familiar voice called. I turned around.

"What? Can't keep up?" I teased.

"Well it's hard when you practically sprint out of English." Eli Goldsworthy retorted. "So what are we going to do tonight?" he asked.

"Well my parents are gone for the weekend so I was just going to hang out at home." I realized how boring that sounded once the words left my mouth.

"Wow sounds….fun?" he said. "Hey I'm coming over at six and we're going to have a movie night. Kay? Kay. I'll see ya in three hours." He gave me a quick kiss, turned and walked down the hall towards the exit. That boy never ceases to surprise me.

Clare's house Six O'clock

I was laying on my couch in my baggy sweatpants, rainbow knee socks and Toronto university hockey shirt when I heard the front door open.

"Honey! I'm hooooome!" Eli called shutting the door with his foot. He had a sports bag in his hands.

"What's with the bag?" I asked "Did you seriously bring that many movies?"

"Of course not Clare-bear." he said giving me a fake smile. He knew how much I hated that name. I gave him a look. "You said you were going to be by yourself the whole weekend. I can't have my girlfriend getting kidnapped or freezing to death in this Canadian weather."

"Wow you're so thoughtful." I said sarcastically.

"So to answer your question miss. Edwards, this is my over night bag." Eli was staying the night at my house? This was not going to be the boring night I had anticipated. I took Eli upstairs and told him to put his bag in my room and grab the movies he planned on watching. We headed back down stairs. I plopped myself down in the middle of the couch while Eli put the DVD in the player. He grabbed the remote off the coffee table and sat down next to me. He pressed the play button and the title slide came on.

"Paranormal Activity Eli!" I whisper shouted giving him an incredulous look.

"AWWW c'mon blue eyes I'll protect you." He said giving me a wink and putting his arm around my shoulders. I relaxed a little at his touch.

"Okay, fine but if we watch this I get to pick the next movie."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah."

It had been around an hour and I was currently curled up under Eli's arm. Every time I heard the girl on the screen scream I would scream and hide my face into his chest. This just made him laugh.

"You know it's just a movie right?" He would say. Finally it was the last scene in the movie. I was getting used to the screaming but then the girl became possessed and killed her boyfriend. Then she looked at the camera and the demon came out toward the screen.

"OHMYGOD!" I screamed clapping my hands over my eyes.

"SHIIIT!" Eli yelled. Then the credits rolled and I looked at him and started laughing so hard I was gasping for air. When I finally got a hold of myself I said, "You know it's just a movie right?" mimicking his low voice.

"Oh shut up." He gave me an eye roll.

"It's okay I totally understand Eli, you're a wittle baby when it comes to scary movies." I teased him.

"Hey! It caught me off guard!" he said defending himself.

"Whatever you say Goldsworthy." I smiled giving him a kiss and snuggling myself closer to him.
