Prologue
Clare's POV
Elijah Goldsworthy, my dream. I know that I'm in love with him, but is he with me? The way he acts is so surreal, continuous mixed signals. I'm his friend one day and just his English partner the next.
I need to know, does he love me the way I love him? Or his just playing my already broken heart? My mind races when I see him. When his signature smirk on his face and his emerald green eyes sparkling.
My heart can't take anymore, I need him now. I'm going to take a chance. Eli and I will be together, if it takes all I have.
Eli's POV
Clare Edwards, my fear. I know that I'm in love, but I'm scarred from my past. I caused Julie to die, not God, not the driver. Me. I promised myself and my heart that I would never love again, but here I am.
Am I betraying Julie? Or myself? I don't deserve to live. I don't deserve to be happy. Ever. Clare need a man. Not me, a broken and damaged boy. I cannot ever tell her of my feelings. She will be happy one day without me.
I just don't think I'll ever be able to be happy without her beautiful blue eyes.
