So I was just thinking about this randomly one day in study hall and thought it would be a good story. Tell me what you think. Thankx! 3

What we had is obviously gone. I have moved on. I'm with Eli now. I wish he would see that I don't want him anymore.

I can see KC sitting on the bench across the street looking at my house. I was in my room working on an English paper with Eli. But I have got to say it is really hard to concentrate knowing that I'm being watched. I was standing by my window holding the curtain slightly open so I could see KC. I have been waiting for him to leave for about a half hour. Eli was sitting on my bed trying to work but I could tell he was really focused on me.

"Clare, why don't you come sit down and try and get some work done. This paper is due Friday and since when has Saint Clare ever not completed an assignment?" Eli said giving me his signature smirk. He got off the bed and stood behind me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close. I could feel his warmth radiating off his body.

I let the curtain fall. I turned to face him. I looked into his beautiful green eyes. I swear I could stare into them all day. They are so beautiful it's undescribable. I shook my head and looked down. "Eli it's so hard to live my life knowing that KC is watching everything I do. This has been going on for over a month. It's really starting to scare me." I looked back up at Eli. His face was full of concern and fury.

"Clare, I think it's time you went to the authorities about this." He said calmly.

"Eli, I tried. They said they can't do anything about it. It's not like the police can make him move from that bench."

"Then get a restraining order against him!" Eli snapped at me, clearly getting annoyed by this situation.

"I've tried talking to my parents. They told me it wasn't a big deal and that KC was only going through a phase. If my parents aren't even willing to help me with this then there really isn't anything I can do." I said more loudly than I wanted to. I pulled away from Eli and plopped down on my bed and buried my face in my pillow. I felt Eli sit down next down next to me.

"Clare, I didn't mean to snap at you like that. I'm just really getting annoyed with this whole KC thing. I hate to see you suffer so much like this. I wish I could make him go away for you." He spoke so softly. He lied next to me and gathered me into his arms.

I buried my face in his shoulder. "I just want it to stop." I muffled into him.

"I know. Hopefully soon it will."

We lied on my bed like this for a while. In his arms I felt safe. Safe from KC. Safe from my parents constant bickering. Safe from the whole world. I closed my eyes and soon I was asleep.

Later that evening

"Clare Edwards! What is going on here!" I heard my mother scream. I woke up instantly. Eli kept on sleeping. My mom was standing in my door way, her face red and arms crossed. She looked majorly ticked off.

"Mom, we just fell asleep. It's nothing." I got off the bed, forgetting that Eli was still fast asleep.

"Who is this boy? What is he doing your room?" my mother said quite loudly while pointing at Eli. I turned to see if Eli woke up yet. Alas he was still fast asleep. I turned back to my mom. I bit my lip unsure of what to say. I decided the truth was the best way to go.

"He's my boyfriend, Eli. We have been dating for about a month. We were just working on an English paper and I guess we fell asleep. I'm sorry. I should have told you about us sooner. And I should have told you he was coming over today. I just-"

"Clare, I understand. I just don't want it happening again. Just let me know when you have company over. And Clare, tell me you haven't done anything with this boy."

"No! Mom, Eli knows that I don't want to have sex until marriage."

"Okay. Well I want him gone by 11:00. Alright?"

"Yes." My mom started down the stairs into the kitchen. Once she was out of sight I closed the door and locked it. I looked at my clock. It said it was only seven thirty. Good, Eli didn't have to leave for a while.

I sat down and watched Eli. He looked so peaceful while he slept. His hair was in his face and his breathing was slow. I brushed my fingers across his cheek. I decided to let him sleep. I sat over at my desk and started working on my paper.

A couple of hours later I was almost done with my paper so I decided to wake Eli up. I turned around in my chair. Eli was snoring quietly and he was curled up in a ball. It made me laugh. I walked over to Eli and right before I was about to shake him awake he said something.

"Please stop. I don't want this. Leave her alone." He was barely whispering. His facial expression was scared. "Run!" He said very loudly. His body started shaking and he was yelling. I wrapped my arms around him trying to get him to stop shaking.

"Eli! Eli! Please wake up!" he wouldn't open his eyes. I started shaking him and calling his name louder. Finally he open his eyes. his breathing was heavy and his eyes were watery. He didn't stop shaking. "Eli what happened?"

He looked right into my eyes. "Why did you let me fall asleep?" he seemed furious. He brushed my arms off of him.

"Eli what happened to you?" I asked again. He looked at me for a second looked away and started putting his papers into his backpack.

"Clare I have to go." I grabbed his arm.

"Eli please stop. Why won't you tell me what happened?" Why was he avoiding the question? Why couldn't he tell me? He tried to get out of my grip on his arm but I wouldn't let go. Suddenly he just broke down in tears. He stopped struggling and fell into my arms. I held him while he cried. After about fifteen minutes his sobs died down and he finally sat up.

"Clare, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to break down like that. I wasn't supposed to fall asleep."

"It's okay Eli. I just want to know what happened."

"I was dreaming. I can't dream. When I do, I usually go crazy. I can't control what I do or what I say while I sleep and sometimes it takes days for me to wake up. I'm supposed to take these special pills before I go to sleep, even if it's just a small nap." He looked ashamed.

"Eli it's okay. Why didn't you tell me before?"

"Because it didn't seem very important until now."

"What did you dream about?"

"I dreamt about you. At first the dream was perfect. It was just you and me together. We were so happy and then someone else came. He was trying to hurt you. I was trying to save you. He got to you first though. I was too late. I couldn't save you Clare. I tried so hard but I couldn't." his hands started shaking again. His lip was quivering.

"Eli it was only a dream. See, I'm fine. Nothing is going to happen to me."

"But something could happen to you! Someone could hurt you and I might not be there to save you!" he stood up and started pacing around my room. His hands were pulling at his hair. He was muttering words to himself. I have never seen Eli like this. It was really scaring me.

"Eli please calm down. Nothing will happen to me."

"You don't know that!" he grabbed his things and tried opening the door. He couldn't get it unlocked because he was shaking too much. "This door won't open!" he kept attempting to open the door.

'Eli, please don't go. Stay here." My eyes were watery and my voice was quiet. He looked at me.

"I'm sorry you had to see me like this." He finally got the lock open and walked out. He ran down the stairs and ran out the door. I tried running after him but by the time I got out side he was already driving away. I walked back to the front door. The last thing I saw was KC sitting on the bench, smiling at her.

Reviews are lovely
