Never Ending Love and Misery
Ch. 1 Restless
I lay in bed restless tossing and turning. I try relaxing my mind and body, but in no way shape or form can I fall asleep. Stupid Eli, always on my mind. Why can't I just focus on something else, anything else other then that annoying heartbreak smirk on his face. I wish I could stop wanting to feel his body against mine. I mean I can't want that, I'm Saint Clare according to just about everyone at school. It's not my fault, I was raised to do right be God. Not to mention the purity ring that's on my finger at this very moment.
I hear a quiet ding, soon followed by bright light coming from laptop. I jump out of bed too quickly and give myself a nasty head rush. Stumbling over to my laptop I see a new IM from Eli has popped up on my screen.
Eli-gold49: Hey Edwards
Clare-e23: Hey
Eli-gold49: What are you doing up so late?
Clare-e23: What? You're the one who messaged me.
I gave a slight laugh and rolled my eyes in amusement.
Eli-gold49: I know I just wanted to see if you were up
Clare-e23: why?
Eli-gold9: because I wanna do something
Clare-e23: what?
Eli-gold49 is offline.
Wow just like Eli, telling me he's going to do something but not what he's planning on doing. And the thing is I don't really mind. I decide I should turn off my laptop so I don't get any new messages popping up. I stay at my computer desk staring at the blank screen. I know I should go back to bed but my mind is racing with the endless possibilities of what he wanted to do.
I jumped as I heard a loud tapping on my window. Though I my brain told me to just ignore it and go back to bed, I walked over and saw a silhouette. I backed away and reached for my light.
"Clare, it's just me Eli." I hear the silhouette say. I see him standing on the tree outside my window. "Clare are you gonna let me in or are you gonna make me stay out here all night." he whispered as I opened the window.
As Eli climbing through my window, I was climbing into bed. Boy oh boy did I pick the wrong night to wear a pair of short shorts and spaghetti strapped tank top without my bra on. I think as Eli gives me a cocky smirk.I swear to god above I'm going to wind up killing this boy one day.
"What are you doing here?" I ask barely above a whisper, pulling my soft red blanket over me.
"Well I couldn't sleep and I figured because you think of me twenty-four hours of the day, you'd wouldn't be able to sleep either." he replied smugly.
Although he was right, there was no was no way I was going to admit it. So I just settled with rolling my eyes and being thankful that he couldn't see me blush. "You know if my parents come in here they'll freak." I say trying to fill the silence.
"But Edwards, wasn't it you who told me to live dangerously? I mean we've only got one life to live so we should make the best of it and all that jazz right? Unless you're too scared to keep up with me."
Damn it! This boy knows I won't back down from a challenge! "Fine." I mumble biting my lower lip.
Eli walks over and plops down next to me on the bed. We start talking about little things, and the more we talk the closer we get. And I mean physically closer. By the time we acknowledge the fact that Eli should probably leave, I'm snuggled against him. My head is resting lightly on his chest, and I'm listening to rhythm of his heart as it lulls me to sleep.
