Enjoy!

Rated M for a reason!

Fairy Tales

Summary: We all want so badly to live with our heads in the clouds, but there's always something that will cause us to come crashing back down, and force us to "bury the castle". Clare wanted a fairy tale ending, and Eli gave it to her.

So one day you found her crying

Coiled up on the dirty ground

Chapter 2

"Thanks for today Eli." Clare said as he dropped her off. Eli looked over at her and smiled faintly at her.

"It's no problem Clare. Don't hesitate to call." Eli said. Clare nodded. She stepped out of Morty and Eli waved her off before he drove back home. Clare watched him leave and she sighed heavily. She walked to her front door and opened the door. Clare shut the door behind her and looked around the living room. She frowned.

There was broken glass everywhere and the sound of heavy filled sobs sounded in the kitchen. Clare walked in that direction and she found her mother crying on the floor. She said, "Mom?" Helen looked up and she only looked back down to cry again.

Clare walked over to her and she sat down next to her. She wrapped her arms around her shaking mother. She said, "It's going to be okay mom." Clare rubbed her mother's back and she sniffled.

"I'm so sorry about this Clare." Helen cried.

"Mom. It's not your fault. Don't apologize." Clare said. Helen nodded and she got up on her feet. She hugged Clare before she disappeared into her room. Clare frowned and she sighed heavily. She walked upstairs to her room and sat down on her, looking lazily at her sheets. She flinched when she heard the sound of a door slam.

"Helen! Helen where are you!"

Clare got up and she walked to her door. She opened it slightly, peeking around the corner. She noticed her father was coming up the stairs and Clare shut the door. She ran back to her bed and made it look like she was doing something. Clare grabbed her laptop and placed it in her lap. She logged into her FaceRange account and jumped with her door slammed open.

"Where is your mother?" Randal asked.

"I-I don't know." Clare stammered.

"Don't lie to me Clare." Randal walked up to her as Clare typed an IM to Alli, Adam, and Eli, trying to keep herself occupied and not pay attention to her father. He shouted, "Clare!" She looked up and said, "I said I don't know! She was in the kitchen when I walked in." He stormed out of the room and Clare sighed in relief.

Adam-Torress88: Clare? Are you okay?

Eli-gold48: Hey, are you okay?

Alli-B22: WHAT'S WRONG!

Clare smiled and tried to calm her breathing. She sent an IM to each of them.

Adam-Torress88
Clare-e24: I'm fine Adam. My dad just came home :( Can you come over later?

Eli-gold48
Clare-e24: Yeah...I just asked if Adam wanted to come over, can you come over too?

Alli-B22
Clare-e24: Get your but over here, now!

Adam-Torress88: I'll be there in a little bit. See you later.

Eli-gold48: Yeah. I'll be there in a few. Bye Clare.

Alli-B22: COMING!

Clare signed out of her FaceRange account and hoped to God that her parents wouldn't start arguing, or continue to argue while her friends were here. Clare walked downstairs and practically sighed in relief when her father just started to walk out the front door. Her mother wasn't around. She heard water running.

"I guess she's taking a shower." Clare said out loud. The doorbell rang and Clare walked to the door. She opened it and was pushed aside by Alli. Alli said, "Okay Clare. What happened?" Clare felt tears start to weld in her eyes, but they never fell. She said, "My parents were fighting again. I found my mom in the kitchen crying. Then my dad barged into my room while I was IMing you, Eli, and Adam. He was trying to find out where my mom was, but I didn't tell him."

Alli hugged her friend and the door opened, in walked Adam and Eli.

"What's wrong?" Adam asked.

"Can we not talk about this now? Let's...do something." Clare said. Eli walked over to her and she instantly hugged him. Eli wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed the top of her head.

"I say we have a movie night." Adam plopped himself on the recliner.

"Girls get to choose." Alli said.

Eli and Clare sat in the love seat. Of course, Adam and Alli knew all to well that no one was to sit in that seat, except for them two. Clare watched as Alli got up and ran to her room, she was of course getting a movie. Adam, Eli and Clare sat in the living room quietly.

"So." Adam said, trying to start a conversation.

Clare pressed her lips to a line and scratched the back of her head nervously. Eli wrapped his arm around Clare's shoulders and she relaxed against him. Alli pranced downstairs holding a DVD in her hands.

"What movie are we watching?" Adam asked.

"Bruce Almighty." Alli smiled.

"Ah yes, I love Jim Carey." Eli smirked. Clare rolled her eyes. Out of all the movies Alli could choose, she chose this one. The movie soon started and all had quieted down. Clare brought her legs up on the couch and leaned up against Eli. Clare asked, "Do you guys want something to drink?"

"Yeah, whatever you have is fine." Adam responded, not taking his eyes off the screen.

"Same here." Alli and Eli responded.

Clare got up and she walked into the kitchen. She opened the fridge and grabbed four cokes. Clare walked back and handed one can to each then took her place next to Eli. All at once, they opened their drinks and took a sip from it.

The front door opened, and Clare stiffened.

"Clare. Why do you have these people here?" Her father asked as he walked in.

"D-dad...I...I invited them over." Clare stammered as Alli paused the movie.

"Randal. Don't yell at Clare. I already knew she had friends coming over." Clare's mom walked out of the room with her hair dripping wet and in a robe. Adam, Alli and Eli all switched glances with each other, wondering if it was smart to be sitting in the room right now. Clare held Eli's hand in hers.

"And you couldn't tell me?"

"Well gee, how could I? You stormed out the door just a few minutes ago." Helen responded as she turned around and walked into her room. Randal stormed after her and all jumped when the door slammed behind him. Inside the room, they started screaming.

Clare clenched Eli's hand and the noise in the room grew louder. Alli said, "Clare we can leave if you want." Clare shook her head. She needed her friends. She said, "Let's just...go upstairs, or out. The Dot. Let's go to the Dot." They all nodded, took their drinks and pilled up into Eli's car. The ride there was silent. Clare had tears streaming down her face.

Eli reached over and he grasped Clare's hand. He ran his thumb back and forth over the back of her hand and she smiled faintly at him. Eli brought her hand to his lips and he kissed it. She smiled even wider and wiped the remaining tears away.

They soon arrived at the Dot and they took their seats inside in one of the empty booths in the back. Alli grabbed a napkin and she handed it to Clare, who took it greatfully. She blew her nose and they all laughed. She said, "I'm sorry you guys had to hear that."

"It's not your fault Clare." Adam said.

"Yeah. It's not like you expected it to happen." Alli said.

"I know, it's just..." Clare didn't finish her sentence. She sighed and laid her head on the table. Eli rubbed her back and leaned down to her ear, where he whispered something in it. Clare got up and she smiled at him. Adam and Alli switched glances between the two, watching them giggle, and occasionally would kiss.

Adam cleared his throat and they immediately stopped. Clare laughed nervously and Eli just moved away while rubbing the back of his neck. Alli tapped her fingers on the table and looked down at her wrist watch. She said, "Crap. I uhh, have to go. I'll see you guys later." She got up and hugged Clare. The three watched her run out of the Dot and down the road, placing bets to see if she would fall yet. To their surprise, she didn't.

Eli looked up at Adam and gave him a look.

"Uhh...I just remembered that I had something to do. Clare, we have to continue this movie night later. I'll see you tomorrow." Adam got up and he walked out the front door. Clare watched her friend leave and frowned a little. She looked over at Eli and he smirked at her. Eli leaned over and he whispered something in her ear. Clare blushed and smiled faintly.

Eli kissed her cheek and Clare leaned her head on her hand.

"I wish my parents would stop fighting." Clare murmured.

"I know it sucks Clare, but sometimes you can't always have what you want." Eli said, not trying to sound mean. But Clare knew that Eli was right, but there are times where she really wanted what she wants. She wished that she could get what she wants.

"Eli...you would give me what I want right?" Clare asked.

Eli smiled at her.

"Clare if you want it. I'll do anything for you to have it (1). I want you to be happy." Eli said.

Clare smiled and she leaned over and kissed his lips. Eli cupped her face and thrust his tongue passed her lips. Clare opened her mouth a bit wider and let Eli kiss her. Their tongues moved against each others slowly. Clare pulled away and Eli smiled at her.
