Hey everyone! Wow I can't believe how amazing you guys have been! Thank you all so much for such an amazing support system. You guys really do keep me going.

I had to write an English paper a while ago about what inspires me and I said my inspiration is my fanfiction reviewers. I could not express how much I love you guys. Thank you so much for everything. I love you!

Oh and That Summer almost has three hundred, so let's get there okay?

Also, this one is gain for Julia, I really want you to get better! You know I luv you!

One more thing for my Eli, if you see this, you are doing a great job so far, I hope we get to have a good conversation soon, to show everyone how great our new Eli is!

Eli's POV:

"Clare, you should probably go for the afternoon, the nurse won't let you sleepover if you don't…" I trailed off as Clare helped me back to my room.

She frowned, "But Eli…"

I sighed, "Clare you know I don't want to do this…"

She nodded sadly, "Can I at least tuck you in?"

I chuckled lightly, "Okay mom."

She scowled at me, "Ha ha, I'm tucking you in."

Clare helps me up onto my bed before pulling her blue blanket from the bottom head board. She covered me with it and kissed my forehead before my lips, "I love you Eli, and I will be back as soon as you want me back okay?"

I smiled at her before pressing a soft loving kiss to her lips, "I want you always okay? Just know that."

Clare smiled, but it was a sad smile. She kissed the corner of the blanket before pressing it to my forehead and walking out the door…

Clare's POV:

"I want to go back." I complained as I laid on Adam's bed.

He was lounging next to me, "You have to give him his space Clare, even if you don't want to…"

Adam was trying to be on neutral sides, he never got in the middle of things. I think that's why Eli and I love him so much, he balances us, plus he is great.

I nodded and rolled over on my stomach, "I know…. I just feel like if I'm not with him… I just have to be with him Adam."

"Clare, you both need space. Time apart, time to breath. You two rely too much on each other. It isn't healthy." He said as he hugged me.

I hugged him back, "I screwed up Adam… I want to be there for him… I need to be."

Adam pulled out his phone and dialed, "Eli? Hey man, are you okay?"

He spoke into the phone for a few minutes before hanging up with a smile, "Eli is fine. He's eating your chip stash though…"

I giggle, "I'll let it slide. Thanks Adam." I wrapped my arms around him and gave him a friendly peck on the cheek.

Adam hugged me back, "You're my best friend Clare, I'm always here for you."

Eli's POV:

After a long nap with Clare's blanket and a nice chat with the nurse, I decided I needed my beautiful girlfriend back.

I reached for my old phone and called her number. She picked up almost instantly, "Eli!"

I chuckled, "Happy to hear from the big bad wolf?"

"Eli…" She sighed. She hated when I said things like that.

I shook my head, "Sorry Clare. You know I am loving this blanket you gave me."

"And why is that?" She asked in her angel voice.

I chuckled, "Because it smells like you, but I want the real thing…"

Clare giggled, "Are you hinting at something Elijah?"

I nodded, "Yes, come back."

"I'll be there in five." And she hung up the phone.

Clare's POV:

I hung up the phone and Adam peered over from his English book, "Romeo sweeping you away from me?"

I smiled sadly, "Do you want me to stay?"

Adam shook his head and handed me my book bag, "Go, love, I'll be fine."

I smiled at him, "You know I love you Adam?"

He hugged me, "I love you too Clare."

"Hey you." I smiled as Eli opened the door to his small blue room.

He wrapped me in a hug, "Hey." He buried his face in my neck, "I hate when you leave."

I gently laced my fingers in the back of his hair, "Well I'm right here now okay? I'm not leaving you."

Eli pecked my neck quickly, "Good, you belong with me."

I smiled before leaning on my toes, asking for a kiss. Eli leaned into me and captured my lips in a loving kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck.

Eli slipped his hands down to my thighs and gently nudged them.

I took the hint and jumped up, wrapping my legs around his waist.

Eli turned his head to open his mouth as his hips thrusted lightly against me.

I thrusted back, slipping my tongue between his lips.

We were dry humping against the wall. I loved the way it felt, I never want to stop.

I could feel myself growing wet…down there. Eli was hard against my core. I blushed and broke the kiss. Eli set me down, "Sorry…"

I shook my head, "N-no, don't, I liked it."

Eli smiled, "Really?"

I nodded shyly, "maybe…."

Eli kissed me once more, "Come on, let's get to sleep."

I grabbed my PJ's from my bag, "Where can I change?"

Eli shrugged, "The bathroom or here."

"Um is it okay if I change here?" I asked a little hesitantly.

Eli nodded, "I can step out, I'll be back."

Eli stepped out as I changed into my white night gown. It was a little short, but it was all I had.

Eli came back in the room and smiled, "You look great."

I smiled, "Thank you…"

Eli and I walk to the bed. I help him in, before slipping in the other side.

Eli leans over and pecks my cheek before wrapping his arms around me and pulling my on his chest, "I love you Clare."

"And I love you Elijah.''

Eli's POV:

"Eli! Eli! Wake up!" Someone was pushing on my shoulder, trying to wake me up.

I rubbed my eyes and groaned, "What?"

I heard Clare's voice, "Eli?" She whispered.

I instantly changed my tone, "Clare, what are you doing awake at," I checked the clock, "3:28 A.M.!"

"I-I have to pee…" She whispered.

"Oh." I nodded, "Um okay, the bathroom is down the hall."

She blushed, "I'm scared…"

I raised an eyebrow, "Do you want me to go…with you?"

She nodded, "Please?"

I kissed her temple before getting out of bed and holding my hand out for her, "Come on."

I took Clare's hand and walked with her down the hall. She whispered, "I'm sorry about this, I just…" She sighed.

I shook my head, "Clare, it's no big deal, I don't mind taking you to the bathroom."

Clare nodded, "You're sweet, I'll be right out." She kissed my cheek and disappeared into the bathroom.

Clare's POV:

The next morning, a nurse woke us up, "Eli, honey it's time for pills."

Eli nodded groggily, "Thank you."

She handed him a glass of water, "Drink up baby, you don't want to get dehydrated."

She was sweet.

Eli took his pills and smiled at her. She smiled back, "Are you ready for your last therapy session?"

Eli nodded as his arms tightened around me, "More than ready, I can't wait to get out of here so I can take my perfect girlfriend out on a proper date."

The nurse giggled, "Oh young love…"

Eli's POV:

I sighed as we stood in front of the therapy room, "Clare?"

"Yes?" She replied.

I looked into her perfect eyes, "Clare, I don't want you to hear this… I don't…I just…I'm not ready for you to hear this…." I finally admitted.

Clare frowned, "You want me to g-go?"

Her eyes were quickly becoming coated with tears. I wipe the tears, "Please don't make this harder on me than it already is…."

Clare nodded as tears fell from her eyes, "But I want to be there for you, no matter what."

I shook my head, "Not today, please?"

Clare bit her bottom lip, "El-"

I cut her off, "Clare, please just go, come back later."

Clare turned around on her heels and started walking away. I know I hurt her, and I hated that. I opened the door and turned around, seeing Clare turn on last time. She wiped her eye before turning around and walking out, shit.

"So Eli, tell me about Julia." Dr. J said.

I nodded, "She was my first girlfriend. We met at my old school. She was a lot like me actually, witty, flirty, kind of shy, but she was beautiful. I feel for her the second I met her, and we started dating only a few days later."

Dr. J nodded, "And how…close were you? How was the emotional aspect?"

I sighed, "We were close, to a point. Juli, well she hid stuff from me, like a lot. I told her everything though. I think that was one of the hardest things for me, when she died, I felt like the relationship was really one sided."

Dr. J wrote something down, "Why do you think it caused you to hoard?"

"I felt like maybe if I kept everything, I could just piece it together, figure her out I guess…" I trailed off.

"I see. So let me ask you something." She looked into my eyes.

I hesitated, "Um…okay?"

She spoke, "How does Julia compare to Clare in your opinion?"

I frown, "Um… I don't compare the two really. They are really different…"

Dr. J clarifies, "Emotionally boy, is your love for Clare healthy?"

I nod, "Dr. J, I love Clare more than I have ever loved anyone, Julia included. I love her, and I want to be with her, no one else. Clare loves me too, and she has spent time on helping me. She has invested her heart and soul in me even though I don't deserve it, I take it."

Dr. J writes something down, "Well Eli, how do we move forward from here?"

Eli's POV:

On the walk back to my room I think about a lot.

I wonder if Clare is mad at me?

I wonder if I will actually follow through on my plans?

I wonder if Clare will always be there for me?

I had a plan now. According to Dr. J, I was stable. I was going to be alright.

For the first time in my life, I felt good, I felt safe.

I opened the door to my room and slowly stepped inside. I pulled the door shut and tugged off my hospital slippers. I turned around and smiled when I saw who was waiting on my bed for me, wrapped up in the blue blanket, "Clare…."
