Author's note: again, if you follow my tumblr (which you really should) you probably have seen my predictions due to the new promo. Anyway, this idea came to me and I like it. Just for the record I think drop the world part one is gonna be when Clare says "you're suffocating me" and drop the world part two is at the dance. So this is a prediction for my drop the world part two and it's most likely a one-shot unless I come up with some more ideas and if you guys get really demanding. Sorry for the long author's note, but here ya go. Eli's POV, by the way.
Suffocating. I was suffocating her. I just…I didn't know what I should do. How could I make it up to her? I wanted to be with Clare, at this point, I needed to be with Clare.
I've never felt this alone. Two years ago, today, is when I lost Julia. Yesterday, I lost Clare. I couldn't take it anymore.
I downed my eighth drink and looked at my phone. 8:20 pm. It two hours and twenty minutes it will officially be two years since I've lost Julia.
I missed her so much.
I picked up the bottle of vodka I was drinking and brought it with my to my car. I got in and just slumped against Morty's wheel. My phone started buzzing in my pocket and I pulled it out. Incoming call from: Clare Edwards.
"Hello?" I slurred.
"Eli, where are you? Are you okay?" she sounded worried. Why should she be?
"Why do you care?"
"Eli, I said I needed space, that doesn't mean I'm breaking up with you,"
I started the car and began driving.
"Eli?" she asked.
"Clare, I don't wanna suffocate you anymore," I muttered. My vision was blurring, but I didn't slow down the car.
"Eli, are you drunk?"
"Do you care?"
"You know I care about, dammit. Stop this, right now,"
"Clare, I'm going away from you. You wont have to deal with me anymore,"
"Eli, are you driving drunk?"
"I'm going away from you,"
"Eli, stop being selfish!" she screamed into the phone.
My mind was in another place, hearing those words come from a different voice. "You're selfish," I whispered to her, watching the tears stream down her face.
"I'm selfish? Eli, you don't care about me!" Julia screamed.
"Shut up and get out of my face, bitch!" I yelled.
"ELI!"
Clare's voice shattered the memory. My vision was still blurred, but my foot stayed on the petal.
"Eli, pull over, right now. I'll come to you. We can talk about this. I don't want you to do something stupid,"
"But I'm suffocating you! Now I'll leave so you can have your space,"
"Eli-"
"YOU RIPPED MY HEART OUT, CLARE! I need you. What happened to I was stuck with you? You made a promise, remember, that you'd never leave me,"
"Eli!"
My mind was going back and forth to two years ago and to the present. As it began to rain, I saw the blurry road in front of me and the hazy memory of Julia crying and riding off into the rain.
"Eli!" Clare screamed again.
I was getting tired, but now I had a destination. I knew where I wanted to go.
"Eli!"
I pulled a block away from where it happened. Two years ago, Julia died in the intersection right in front of me. I checked the clock. 8:39pm. In one minute, it would be two years.
In one minute I would pull out into this intersection and go see Julia.
"ELI, ANSWER ME!" Clare shrieked.
8:40pm.
I slammed my foot on Morty and closed my eyes, smiling.
I woke up in an unfamiliar room. There were blue walls surrounding me and there was a beeping noise in my ear.
I looked around the room and noticed it was a hospital. What the hell? I didn't know why I was here.
I looked to my left and saw a girl sleeping in a chair. She was wearing a blue dress(1) with a denim jacket over it. Her make-up was all over her face. She had curly hair that was a mess around her face, sticking to her cheeks. I had no idea who this girl was and why she was in my hospital room.
My head started pounding and I looked around, trying to find a call button for a nurse to find out what's wrong with me. Or for my parents to come in with Julia to see if I was okay. Where were they anyway?
"Eli?" someone called gently.
I turned my head to the voice. It was the girl that was asleep in the chair. She was awake and she leaned forward in her chair. Her eyes looked scared, worried and curious. I looked puzzled back at her.
"Yes?" I answered.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm not sure…Who are you?" I asked, wondering why she was here in the first place.
"Eli, what do you mean?"
"Who are you? Why are you here? Where's Julia?" I was starting to get irritated. I didn't even know this girl. I wanted Julia.
"Eli, it's me Clare,"
"I don't know who you are," I said stubbornly. "Can you please go find me Julia?"
Her face closed in shock. Her eyes became sad and I saw them fill up with tears. "Oh no, Eli," she sighed.
Author's note: so just in case there's any confusion, Eli got amnesia and can only remember Julia. That's pretty much all I have but if you guys really want me to continue I will think of something.
(1) I cant remember what Clare was wearing.
