As I stepped outside into the sunlight I noticed that Eli was leaning against his car waiting for me. When I walked closer to him it made me realize how perfect he was. His green eyes shimmered in the sun, the way his hair was perfectly swooped—every single hair was in the right spot, the way he smelled was always intoxicating to me.

He grabbed my hand and kissed it.

"Why hello, beautiful." he said.

I gave him a hug. I loved his hugs. They were perfect, just like him, although he would probably disagree with that fact. He opened the passenger side door for me and I slide into his car, well his hearse actually. He got in, started the car, and drove away.

The car ride was filled with teasing jokes and laughs. My phone all of a sudden buzzed. I debated on checking it but curiosity got the best of me. I pulled my phone out of my purse, took a deep breath, and opened it. It was from K.C. However, it didn't really surprise me.

Thank you, Clare. You have no idea how much this means to me. How about we meet at the DOT at 8 p.m. tonight?

I stared at the text message for a few seconds before replying. I hope I don't regret this.

Sure. See ya at 8.

"Who was that?" Eli asked.

"Oh, it was just Alli" I lied, but what else was I suppose to say? I couldn't tell him it was K.C.

"She wanted to know what the homework for English was." I said, lying again. It was so hard to lie to him, but I had to.

"Oh Alli, so forgetful." he smiled.

I fake smiled back, trying not to look in his eyes.

We arrived at the typical abandoned parking lot next to the woods. I loved our secret spot. It was perfect and even better, we were completely alone and secluded.

We started walking into the woods. Eli grabbed my hand. His hands were perfect; it was like they fitted with mine. Whenever I was with him everything just felt so right, that I was meant to be with him right there and then.

As we were walking through the woods in complete silence I couldn't help but think of K.C. There has always been something between us. He was my first love. I couldn't just forget him like everyone expected me to. Maybe I can sort everything out when I talk to him tonight. But, there was still one question that was lingering in my head.

Do I pick who I really need or who I really want?
