Chapter 1

Taking a chance on love.

Clare POV

Eli made me feel something I had never felt before. It was a feeling of happiness and love that I never thought I could feel. Ever since the first day we met when he ran over my glasses our relationship has had its ups and downs. I am truly falling for him. Eli was the one for me…or at least I hoped he was. His past didn't seem to bother me like he thought it would. Julia uses to be a part of him but now I felt as if I would and possibly could fill that missing part of his heart. I loved seeing him every day that cute smirk that he would give me all the time. I could hear my parents fighting down stairs it was like every night. I decided to write about him in my vampire fiction and get lost in my thoughts instead of listening to them fight. I pictured and imagined his emerald eyes starring at me. Once I finished and posted it on the website I decided to go to bed it was 3. The fighting had stopped, probably because they were tired. I couldn't believe my parents that were meant for each other could yell and fight with each other this much. Love was not as beautiful as I imagined it. With that thought I fell asleep. All night I dreamt of him. I got up fresh and ready in the morning to see him.

Eli POV

Monday mornings were the worst for me; only one thing good came out of school, Clare. After telling her about Julia she told me she would give me time. It had been about 3 month since I had told her about the accident and I felt that my heart was almost totally healed. Spending almost every day with her made it heal faster. I decided by the end of this week I would finally be ready to take the next step with her. I was falling for her and it was about time, I am able to be happy. I got out of bed and showered and made sure I looked my best. I couldn't wait to see her, her and those beautiful blue eyes. God I loved them.

(At school)

I stepped out of Morty and saw Adam sitting on the stairs reading a comic. I went up to him. "Hey!" Adam jumped. "ELI! Don't scare me like that." I couldn't help but laugh. "Someone seems awfully happy today." "I am I guess" Right then I turned around to see her. She looked beautiful. Clare was beautiful; she had curly ginger hair and amazing blue eyes. "Hey guys" "Hey Clare-bear" Adam let out with a smile. "Hey Clare" I said staring into her eyes. They made me melt. "So you ready to go in?" "Yup" Adam and I replied. Today started the week I would tell Clare how much I care about her. Here goes nothing.
