So for my last chapter , it was in Clare's POV . This chapter I think I'm going to use Eli's POV , mostly because I had no idea what to write about . Ideas ?
Eli's POV
I hadn't planned on blowing her off . Infact , I wasn't even sure what I planned to do at all . But I knew I had hurt her by saying no . She sat behind me that whole hour , and didn't say a word .
"Clare..." I breathed as I tryed to grab ahold of her hand . She turned to look at me . "Can we talk ?"
She hesitated . "...Here ! I need to get to my next class Elijah ."
Wow . Low blow . NO ONE called me Elijah . It just wasn't done .
"No not here ." I said with a sarcastic smirk . "Come by my house later tonight at around seven ?"
"Sure . See you then ." She replyed curtly and walked away .
The rest of the day went by in a blur . I remember sitting with Adam at lunch , listening to him talk about his new comic . I tryed to act intrested , but the look on Clare's face when I told her no, was haunting me . It was all I could think about . I remember seeing her in the halls between classes . And the one time I caught her eye , I got a weak smile out of her .
After dinner I sat impatiently on my couch . I tryed to entertain myself untill seven by watching the only thing on , Sarah Palin's Alaska . It was torture . I litterally wanted to rip my hair out . When I heard a knock , I jumped up . Looking at the clock , I was surprised the time had passed that quickly . I opened the door to see Clare standing on my front steps . She was beautiful , as always . She gave me a half smile , as she walked in .
She looked around . I forgot she had never been here .
" I ... expected it to be more ... black ." She said , slightly amused .
" Edwards , isn't it in The Bible that you aren't suppossed to judge people by appearences ? " I smirked . I knew she had a weak spot for it . " Listen , Im sorry I blew you off this morning . I honestly don't know why I did . Forgive me ? " I smirked , again . I could see her knees shake , and she sat down on the couch for balance . Damn , I was going to kill this girl if I kept smirking like that .
" I guess..." She said as she looked down . God I hate seeing her upset . I crossed the room to where she was sitting . Putting my arm around her , I thought about the last time I had made a girl I loved this upset . Stop comparing them Eli . Pull it together . She's gone . Clare is the one you love now . She's the one that matters.
She looked up at me with those blue eyes . Id like to say that they aren't as blue as the ocean , because thats cheesy . But they really are . They remind me of when my grandfather would take me out on his boat before he died . I remember looking down into the ocean and seeing the silver fishes swimming near the surface . Her eyes were that color blue . They were breathtaking .
I remembered our first kiss . It was amazing . I really regretted avoiding her after that . I can't imagine how she probably felt . Next time it will be different . Verry different . And with that thought in my mind , I kissed her again . This time was even better then the last . Maybe they get better each time . In that case , I'd want to kiss her forever . And I mean it . Forever .
