"To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing."
Eli's POV
Hospitals are no fun, especially after Clare had left in a huff. She left me after she had told me, "You scare me, Eli. I can't be around you." I begged her not to go, I even grabbed onto her arm in desperation. "I'm sorry, but I can't!" she exclaimed before she left the room.
Bullfrog walked into the room in utter confusion as I watched Clare run out of the hospital and out of my life forever. "What just happened?" asked Bullfrog.
"Clare hates me," I said as I went to lie back down. I turned away from him as a tear fell down my cheek. I didn't even try to stop it; they just kept flowing down my cheeks. I lost the closest person in my life…again. First Julia, now Clare.
