A/N: Alright everyone I am so sorry for long wait on this chapter. I've had college and I had to update my other stories and tbh I had a tad of writers block but it's all good now =) so here's Chapter 3 enjoy…

Clare stared at Eli for what seemed like forever. At first she thought it was just someone who looked like him from behind but when Adam stood up and smiled and the person he was with stood up and turned around she thought she was seeing a ghost.

All of these emotions overwhelmed her at once and she knew at this moment she couldn't deal with them.

She couldn't be here. She couldn't face him after what happened between them not now anyway she had to go.

"I-I have to go" she whispered turning around as she felt tears start to prick at her eyes.

"Clare wait" Eli said grabbing her wrist.

She turned to face him the tears already streaming down her face. "Eli please let me go I can't do this right now"

"Can we just talk? Please Clare"

"Why Eli? Why?"

"So I can explain things"

Clare shook her head and pulled her wrist away from his grip.

"You don't deserve to"

"Clare" Adam said putting a hand on her shoulder "Just give him a chance hear him out"

"No, no I really have to go" Clare said pushing Adams hand off her shoulder and leaving the dot.

"Clare!" Eli called but she was already gone.

He sighed and dropped back down into his chair rubbing his hands over his face.

Adam put a hand on his shoulder "Sorry dude she's just shocked and a little hurt. She'll come around."

"I wanna explain to her Adam it's the least she deserves."

"And you wanna get back with her." Adam said smiling slightly

Eli looked up at him seriously "That's beside the point"

"So don't give up"

"What?"

"Go home and call her keep trying until she lets you explain don't give up dude I swear you guys are meant to be soul mates." Adam Chuckled

Eli nodded and smiled at his best friend "Your right thanks Adam"

"No problem Goth boy" Adam said smiling back "But anyways I gotta get going, gotta meet Fiona." He said putting some money on the table for his drink and standing up.

"Alright" Eli said standing up and putting some money on the table as well.

"So I assume your gonna be in town for a while?"

"Yeah for about 2 or 3 weeks"

"Ok well let me know what happens"

"I will"

"Later Goth boy"

"Later machismo"

They fist bumped and Eli watched Adam leave before he hopped into morty and headed home.

As soon as he got to his room he took out his phone and tried calling Clare. When she didn't answer he tried again and again and again.

Still no answer he paced back and forth sat on his computer chair and lay on his bed as he kept trying and every time he kept getting the same rings and the same voicemail where he left at least 10 messages.

By the time he finally went to bed the sun was just starting to come out.

He laid in his bed and sighed fustratedly as he threw his phone against the wall and it made a cracking noise as it hit the floor.

Ok so it was blatantly obvious that Clare was avoiding his calls but he needed to talk to her and he wouldn't give up.

He remembered Adams words from yesterday "Keep trying until she lets you explain"

That's what he would do than she could decide if she still hated him. Clare had never directly said she hated him but he was pretty sure that she didn't like him very much right now and he wanted to change that.

Since Clare wasn't answering his calls he decided that he should just go to her house and surprise visit her. That way she would have a harder time trying to avoid him.

She couldn't really avoid him if he was at her front door right?

Yup that's what he would do… tomorrow right now he was so wiped out he needed to sleep.

The next day Eli started getting ready around 3:30 to go see Clare. He showered, dressed in grey skinny's a black long sleeve and a vest on top.

He slipped on his shoes and then headed into his bathroom where he ran his hands through his hair and put on some cologne.

He wasn't trying to impress Clare or anything he just wanted to look decent or at least that's what he told himself.

After being semi satisfied with his appearance he headed downstairs grabbed his keys off the end table by the door and jumped into morty.

When he pulled up to Clare's he parked and looked at her house his eyes falling on her porch.

He cringed and frowned as the last memory he had here came rushing back into his mind.

He shook his head trying to get rid of it as he stepped out of morty and headed up to her front door.

He took a deep breath and rang the bell. After about 20 seconds the door opened revealing a smiling Clare.

Once she saw who was at the door her smile disappeared. "You should leave" She said trying to shut the door.

"Not till you let me explain" Eli said putting his foot in the door.

"Why should I Eli? You broke up with remember? And then you just left! Do you know how much you hurt me?" She whispered

Eli looked down sighing "I know and I'm so sorry but I owe it to you, you deserve to know why."

Clare bit her lip and looked like she was thinking about it so Eli pushed a little.

"10 minutes and I'll leave I promise"

Green met blue again after all these years and Eli could see how dull the sparkle had become; it was there but not as much as before. He'd give anything to see it again.

"Fine 10 minutes" She said stepping aside and letting him in. She led them to the living room and gestured to the couch.

Eli sat down and Clare sat in the arm chair across from him.

"Where's your mom?" He asked looking around.

"She's out with her boyfriend."

"So I tried calling you… a lot"

"I know" she said crossing her legs "So Explain"

Eli linked his hands together in front of him and then began telling Clare everything about why he left, and how much it hurt him to do it.

By the end Clare was in tears "Oh Eli you have always been good enough for me better even sure we fought and had problems like every other couple but you made me happy and I loved you so much that was enough."

Eli looked up at her with sad eyes and she got up from her seat and moved to sit in front of him on her coffee table.

She held his hands in her and he gave her a small smile.

"I've really missed you Clare"

She gave him a small smile back.

"I've really missed you too Eli"

The next thing Eli knew he was slowly leaning in. He pressed his forehead to Clare's and locked eyes with her as he heard her whisper his name before capturing her lips with his.
