Chapter 2-
The fear in her eyes
Clare's POV-
I shot up when as the alarm clock blared into my ear. "Why is that so loud?" I said rubbing my eyes; Eli hit the off button and sat up next to me. "Sorry, I'm kind of def in the morning" he said smirking. I stretched and walked into the bathroom, the walls were blue and green and the towels were sitting on a black table on the corner. "Do you want me to get some cloths from your house or do you want to wear mine to school" Eli said leaning against the door way. "Ill go get some" I said smiling, I walked out of the bathroom and Eli grabbed my arm, "you sure?" he said in a low tone. "Yes Eli, I'm sure, ill be ok" He let go of my arm and walked me outside. "If you get scarred call me and ill pick you up, ok?" I smiled at how much he cared "Ok, ill just see you at school" He kissed me good bye and ran up the stairs back inside with his plad pajama pants and messy hair. I walked down the street smiling at how nice it was outside. I walked up the steps and into my house. My dad was still here fighting with my mom; I slowly walked upstairs and took a shower, I pulled on some brown leggings and a white dress that buttoned up from the middle of my stomach and cuffed at the neck, I put on a brown belt around my torso and slipped on some white flats. My parents were still fighting when I left so I put on Eli's head phones and flipped to 'don't know why by Norah Jones' I slowly walked until I finally reached the school, I was still thinking about my mom, I was scarred for her, what if we have to leave the state to get away from my dad, what will happen with me and Eli. I saw Eli's car in the parking lot by the basket ball hoops so I knew he was here, Adam was talking to Ali outside on the steps and saw me walking towards them. Ali was still upset about Drew so I didn't really want to get in the middle of their conversation but I guess I had no choice.
"Clare, how are you" Adam said in a sad tone. "Good, but how about you" Ali started to cry and Adam put his arm around her. "I'm fine I guess my mom is bailing him out next week" I hugged Adam not knowing what to say "It will be ok Adam, Ali, do you want to talk later" Ali just nodded and held her arms out for a hug. "Well I have to go to my locker guys ill see you at lunch" I said pulling out of the hug.
Eli's POV-
I walked around the corner turning into the hall Clare's locker was in, I saw her putting some books and note pads into her bag and I decided to sneak up with a kiss. I crept slowly until I was right behind her; I slowly leaned in and kissed her cheek making her jump. "ELI" she said hitting my arm as she turned around, I could tell I freaked her out because she had fear in her eyes. "Sorry I didn't think I was that scarry" I said smirking. I leaned in and kissed her again making her blush, that was my hobby. "You better get to class I said holding out my hand, she put her hand in mine making me smile, her hand was so small compared to mine. We walked to Mrs. Dawes class. ", Mr. Goldsworthy, nice of you to join us" I looked down at Clare who was looking around the room nervously "sorry…" she said taking a seat, I took a seat in front of her "It was my fault sorry" I said tapping my pencil. "Don't be late tomorrow" said before continuing her lecture on Romeo and Juliet, I herd Clare humming quietly behind me, and I smiled and turned around to look at her. "Whatcha hummin?" I said smirking my usual smirk. "Nothing" she whispered smiling back, "Eli, do I need to give you a detention?" I herd say in an irritated tone. I glared and turned back around. The bell finally rung and I met up with Clare at her locker. "So you prefer humming over singing?" I said walking up to her, she just smiled and closed her locker "Are you always asking questions" she said leaning in for a kiss. "Yea I guess you could say that" I said kissing back. "oh, I gotta get to class bye" she said rushing off to History.
Clare's POV-
After school I ran outside to meet Eli by his car, he was already sitting in the car listening to my playlist I made for us. He stuck his head out the window "Where to Clare bear" he said smiling
"Um I guess you can drop me off at my house, I have homework" I got in the car and leaned my head back on the seat. "You ok?" Eli said rubbing my shoulder. "Yea, It's been a long day" I sighed; Eli started the car and pulled out of the parking lot. "So is your dad still there" Eli said breaking the silence. "Yea, he usually shows up around five every morning" I said looking out the window. "But he doesn't bother talking to me" I added, Eli put his hand on mine, "I really hope your ok Clare" He said watching the road. "I am, he's not hurting me" Eli sighed as we pulled up in front of my house. Eli got out of the car and walked me to my door. "I love you" he said kissing my fore head "Love you too, see you tomorrow" I turned to open my door and Eli pulled me back pulling me into a kiss that lasted for at least two minuets. "Bye" he said smiling "Uh...Bye" I said almost falling over, I watched him walk to his car and then I walked up to my room. I pull out a note pad and start writing my essay for History.
Buzz..
I look at my phone "Eli 3" it says
Meet me at the dot, ive got a surprise
I got up and closed my note pad, I can do my homework later, I ran downstairs and shut the door behind me rushing to the dot, the breeze ran threw my hair and I pull my jacket closer to me shivering. I walked inside the dot and saw Eli sitting in a booth in the corner holding something in his hands. I walk over and sat down. "Hey" he said looking nervous "Hey, are you ok?" I say smiling a little bit. "Yea, of course" he said smiling back "So you know I love you more than anything right" he said, and I nodded. He scooted a small velvet box in front of me and I looked up at him, he smiled, and I looked back down at the box picking hit up. I slowly opened it and my eyes widened in shock.
