Chapter 2: Realizing Mistakes

(Eli's POV)

I got into my hearse and drove to school. I was STILL upset over Clare. Was our kiss a mistake? Did she regret it? I felt like dying, if I wasn't already dead from my past.

As I pulled into the parking lot I saw Clare with Adam and Ali. "Clare!" I shout. She looks over at me, her head shies down as she blushes.

I jump out and run over to her, Ali and Adam instantly bail. But Adam winks at Clare really fast. If he weren't my friend I would of knocked him in the face! Clare. IS. MINE.

"Hey, Eli." Clare says.

"Did you get my IM?" I ask, Please say no, say you were asleep? Just tell me you didn't ignore my feelings.

"No," She sighed. "I was mad at you and I signed off without reading it."

"So you WERE mad?" I say suggestively. "So your NOT anymore?"

"Adam told me," Clare said.

"Told you what?"

"You like me," She whispers.

"No," I say moving closer to her. I see the pain on her face and I smile "I love you."

"Really?"

"I have since the day we met," I said, our faces inches apart. "I know I sound corny, but I when I looked into your beautiful blue eyes, I knew I had to have you. But I took it slow because I was scared of freaking you out and making you run away from the big, bad Eli. Right now, I have one thing to ask you, will you be my girlfriend?"

There was no one around us, everyone was inside the school already. She smiled and kissed me. This time I kissed her back without hesitation.

The kiss started off smooth and soft. I leaned into her making the kiss deeper. I let my tongue glaze across her lower lip, begging for access into her mouth. She granted me that access instantly. Our tongues danced together perfectly. It felt like fireworks.

Fireworks? Since when did I kiss girls and feel "fireworks"? I asked myself.

But after a minute I didn't care, I had Clare in my arms, the girl I loved kissing me.

She pulled back and whispered into my ear. "Yes, I'll be your girlfriend."

I smiled and pulled her back into my arms. This is where I belong, I don't care what people say! I LOVE CLARE EDWARDS!

She was mine. And nothing can take that away from me.

I don't mean to give spoilers away but that last line is going to backfire in Eli's face, just saying :). Thanks sooo much for the amazing reviews! They made me so happy they inspired me to write chapter 2! Thanks so much and I WILL be continuing this. I'll try to update with Chapter 3 later!
