Eli's POV

After we kissed I felt as if I was whole again. Her lip, my lips, pressed to one another was the one thing that had made sense in a long time. Even though I was afraid to break the silence I had to.

"So what does this mean?" I asked her quietly.

We pulled apart and look one another in the eye. I was waiting for a response but she didn't seem to have one. I was getting really nervous.

"I… I don't know exactly what this means Eli." My sudden hope was crushed when I heard that. I started to walk back in the house and then I felt her grab my hand and pull me back and asked "Where you going?"

"Clare if you don't know what this means, why would you come here and do it?" I wasn't trying sound harsh or anything I just needed to know.

"I don't know I honestly didn't know that this was going to happen." She said in a joyful voice. That was a good a sign. Right?

I decided that it was in my hands now. I inched closer to her and said, "Well what do you want it to mean?"

She inched closer to me as well and said the three words I've been wanting to here for a long time "I miss you" I smiled and placed my lips on hers to give her a gentle yet passionate kiss.

"Well I take it you miss me too?" she smiled at me. God I missed her smile. "But there are two problems."

I wasn't excited to hear this. "Which are?" "Imogene and Jake." She said quickly.

"I don't care about her like I do about you. She was just helping me get over you, which obviously didn't work." I laughed a little to lighten the mood. "So what about you and Jake" I dreaded asking this question but oh well.

Clare's POV

I really didn't want to answer this question sure I love Eli. But Jake is so kind and sweet but he is not Eli. I had to say something "Well Jake see he is an old family friend and my parents, well my parents really like him." Eli's face dropped. "But he's not you" his to die for smirk appeared on his face.

"I would love for things to go back to the way it was before…you know before everything. But I don't know how to tell Jake and Ali and what about Adam, Oh my god poor Adam, he's always caught in the middle."

He grabbed my hands and said. "Look its us and each other, not us and other people…this is our relationship not theirs." His smile reassured me. "But obviously you need sometime to think. So I will give you time."

"But I don't want to lose you again." I said looking down ashamed of not being able to make a decision right away.

It's been 4 months since me and Eli broke up and ever since then I haven't been able to get him out of my head. So why when it comes to the moment of me getting him back I cant decided what to do.

"Hey look at me," he said compassionately. I looked up. "Like I told you before, I'm not going anywhere"

I was happy that he so understood. I smiled at him kissed him goodnight and walked home I was just hopping I could come up with a decision quickly.
