So, i've been super lazy. I'm really sorry guys! It took me forever to get this up. But... Here you go! the glorious chapter 3.
Chp. 3
Eli POV
As I opened my eyes, I realized that it was morning, and that Clare was lying next to me. Oh, that's right she spent the night last night, and were going to the beach today! Wait? Do I smell bacon? Thanks mom! I looked over at the clock and noticed that it read 8:34. I decided that I had time to get up and go to the bathroom, and then wake up Clare.
Clare POV
I felt Eli get out of the bed next to me and then stretched. What time is it? I glanced over to the clock and it read 8:36. Oh, it's too early. I drifted back to sleep, but within 30 seconds, I felt Eli shaking me whispering
"Clare, Clare, Clare, Clare are you awake? Clare?"
"What, Eli? And yes I am awake." I replied.
"Mom's cooking bacon, can't you smell it?" he said with a smile on his face. As I inhaled the smell I closed my eyes and just relaxed. Then I slowly rose out of the bed and Eli and I walked downstairs hand in hand.
"Alice! It smells really good down here. Thank you so much for letting me stay over last night." I said as we walked into the kitchen.
"It's really no problem, Clare. We love having you here and you're welcome for as long as you like. Now sit down and eat some breakfast." Alice said in her sweet motherly tone. The breakfast consisted of bacon, cooked soft, just how I like it, and pancakes.
"Eli are we going to visit my mom before we go to the beach?" I asked.
"I think we should. Its 9:00 now, and visiting hour starts at 10, so that gives us time to get ready, and get down there. Then we can come home, and get ready for the beach." He replied looking me straight in the eye. I love when he does that, it makes me feel like the only one in the world.
"Alright, Blue Eyes, let's go get ready. I guess you can take a shower first. Then I'll go after you." Eli said.
"OK!" while in the midst of pulling him up the stairs then I remembered to yell "Thanks for breakfast, Alice!" but by that time we were already in Eli's room.
"Hey, Eli. Do you think I could maybe borrow one of your shirts after my shower? I don't want to get mine for later dirty." I asked, hoping to get a glimpse into his closet. When I walked in I was astonished at how organized it was. Jeans on one side, shirts on the other, shoes in the middle. As I was looking through his shirts I stumbled upon a pink guns and roses t-shirt. "Hey Eli, I think I'll wear this shirt." I said.
"Ugh! Clare, why did you have to find that shirt? I really wanted a guns and roses t-shirt but that was the only one they had left in my size. Go ahead and wear it, but we may get suspicious looks." He said as he turned to me and busted out laughing.
"I love you, Eli. And I don't care what other people think." I replied.
"I love you too, Clare. Now go get in the shower. We just wasted 15 minutes." He said while pushing me into the bathroom.
45 minutes and 2 showers later, Eli and I were heading downstairs and out to Morty to visit my mom in the hospital. The car ride was peaceful, for the most part. Since I plugged in my iPod last time, Eli unfortunately got to plug his in this time. As we were driving along a song came on that I didn't recognize…..
I like where we are, as we drive in your car. I like where we are here. Cause our lips, can touch. And our cheeks can brush. Our lips can touch here.
You are the one who always lies close to me, whispers hello and I miss you quite suddenly, and I've been with you a lot here suddenly. But I like it right here in your arms.
I like where you sleep, when you sleep next to me. I like where you sleep here. Our lips can touch and our cheeks can brush. Our lips can touch, here.
You are the only who always lies close to me, whispers hello and I miss you suddenly. I've been with you a lot suddenly, but I like it right here in your arms.
Our lips can touch, our lips can touch. Here
You are the one who always lies close to me, whispers hello and I miss you suddenly. I have been a lot with you a lot suddenly, but I like it right here in your arms.
I didn't have a clue that Eli listened to this stuff. But I like seeing the sensitive side of him. "Eli!" I said scooting close to him and nuzzling my face in his shoulder. "I love that you listen to that kind of music! Who's it by?"
"It's called 'here in your arms' by hellogoodbye. I really like that song. It's a good Clare Eli song." He said while smiling down at me.
"I think it is too." I said. By this time we were pulling into the hospital parking lot, here goes nothing. Eli likes to park in the very back of the parking lot, but I don't care. It gives us time to just walk and smell the roses. "I like walking around with you, Eli. It feels so peaceful. Everything at home is really bad right now. I just wish I could be with you all the time." I said as we were walking towards the hospital.
"Maybe you can, Blue Eyes. I'm sure my parents would love it if you moved in with us. My mom did say you were welcome for as long as you'd like." He said looking down at me and smiling.
"You really think so, Eli? I hope I can. It'd be nice to get away for the summer. Can we ask your mom when we get home? I don't want to confront my mom, we'll just leave her a note." I said while watching the ground as I walked.
"Clare, it's all going to be alright, I promise." Said Eli as he squeezed me tight as we walked into the hospital.
"Uhm, Edwards please." I said to the lady at the counter.
"Ahh, yes. Just take the elevator, go to floor 6 and it will be room 602." She told me, smiled, and then continued her work.
"thanks." I replied then walked to the elevator with Eli. "I hate elevators, Eli. I wish moms room was on the ground floor." I said while sighing.
"I'll protect you, Clare." Eli said while wrapping his arms around me. As we stepped into the elevator I began to get more and more nervous about telling my mom that I was moving in with Eli. I didn't know what it was, but I had this gut feeling that she was going to tell me something I really didn't want to hear. As we reached her door I grabbed Eli's hand and gave it a tight squeeze, then knocked lightly on the door. "Hey, mom. It's me!" I said nervously while steeping into her room. "Eli's here too." I said and pulled him in with me. There she was, lying in the bed with her foot propped up. I kind of felt bad, but at the same time I couldn't care less. It was her and dad's fault anyways.
"Hey, Clare. Did you stay with Ali last night?" She said while giving Eli an evil eye.
"That's actually what I wanted to talk to you about. I stayed with Eli, mom. I just need a break. I don't really care if it's okay with you or not, but I think I'm going to move in with Eli for a while. As long as it's okay with his mom, which im sure it will be. I have the key to the house, so I'll swing by and get my stuff on the way back to Eli's. Bye mom." I said while grabbing Eli's hand and leading him out of the hospital, tears already beginning to drip down my face. "I did it, Eli." I whispered.
"You were amazing, Clare. I called my mom while you were talking to yours. She said that you can live with us until things get better at home. She also said that were leaving for the beach around 1. Its 11:45 now, so we have time to run home and get your stuff from your house before we go.
So we headed to my house, I packed two suitcases, then we left to go back to Eli's. When we got there it was around 12:30. We had just enough time to eat and get ready for the beach. After we were finished eating we piled into Eli's moms van and we were on our way to the beach. I snuggled up to Eli and whispered in his ear,
"I love you, Eli. Now and forever."
"I love you Clare. Now and forever." He replied.
Soooo? What did you guys think? They are going to go to the beach in the next chapter. By the way, this is in June. I'm going to say around the 18th.
