Chapter 2
3:05 AM
I stirred in my sleep. I heard something, but didn't have the energy to open my eyes. It sounded like someone was tapping away at a keyboard. I opened my eyes and sat up on my elbows. Darcy was sitting on her bed pounding away at her laptop. She looked over at me.
"Oh, did I wake you up? Sorry, I'm suffering from jetlag" she chuckled.
"It doesn't matter. It's Sunday anyway." I rubbed my eyes trying to stay awake.
"OK! So you can start by telling me about Eli! Isn't it exciting, him being your first boyfriend and all?" She giggled. I bit my lip.
"Actually...he's my second boyfriend" I looked up at Darcy. Her mouth was hanging open and her eyebrows were raised.
"Oh my god! Why didn't you tell me? What happened to your first boyfriend? Why did you guys breakup? TELL ME!" I gave a small laugh.
"I don't know. I didn't want it to be such a big deal, I guess. And besides, you hardly ever replied to my letters, you were always busy. And we broke up because...he cheated on me with a girl I thought was my best friend." If Darcy's jaw hadn't been attached to her jaw, it would have fallen to the ground.
"What a jerk! Well, forget about him. A guy like that doesn't deserve you. How's Eli like? I think my eyes were playing tricks on me but...was he driving a hearse?" Darcy's eyes were wide open. I smiled
"Well... Eli sure is different from other guys- and that makes him special." I stared into space dreamily. Darcy smiled.
"I'm happy for you. It sounds like he's a pretty good guy and he is pretty damn cute" I laughed. Me and Darcy talked for a while but I don't even remember when I fell asleep. J
11:25 am
"Morning" I smiled happily. Darcy was sleeping, and Mom and Dad were talking in the kitchen. Not fighting I noticed. They smiled at me.
"Usually you're the first one awake Clare." Dad said.
"Me and Darcy were talking" I said, smiling.
"Yes, we heard you and Darcy talking in the middle of the night" My mom smiled at me.
"Yea. We had a lot of catching up to do." I quickly finished my breakfast and went upstairs to call Eli. When I went in to my room, I saw Darcy sitting on her bed.
"I hate jetlag" she moaned. I laughed.
"Don't worry. You'll get over it."
"Do you have any plans for today?" She asked.
"Um, not really. I was going to call Eli, though" I said
"That's great! I can get to know Eli a bit. I mean, if you two lovebirds don't mind" I smiled.
"Of course not." I turned around and dialled Eli's phone number.
