CLARE POV

Oh my god-I mean gosh! Eli just asked me to move in with him. What do I say? I really would love and I mean love, to live with Eli. But, what about his parents? Won't they disaprove? Wait, this is Cece and Bullfrog we're talking about, they invited me to sleep with Eli the first time I met them! I love them to death though. They are a great substitute to my realy parents, who haven't been there for me at all since they decided on divorcing. Well if it's all right with them...

"Are you sure Eli? I wouldn't want to be a pain." I say shyly. He shook his head. "Clare you could never be a pain to me. I am one hundred percent sure, I absolutely love the idea of you living with us. What could be better than living with the girl I love?" Aww! My heart swelled, with adoration. I blushed as I spoke. "But, what about your room..." I trailed off. He smiled wide and i looked at him with confusion on my face. "About that, I have been working on it myself for the past few weeks and have been going to therapy for it twice a week. All I have left in the place that was once a living hell, is my bed and my neccessities." He looked proud. "OH Eli! I am so happy for you!" I put my arms around his neck and hugged him with the strength I had.

"So is that a yes on moving in with me?" He said hopefully. "OK, its fine with me aslong as its ok with your parents?" I looked at him. He was smirking his sexy, god-like, smirk. "Yup, I called and asked them when you were sleeping. I told them that it wasn't safe for you and I wanted to protect you. They, of course, were tickled pink at the idea." He laughed. "thank you thank you thank you! now I dont have to go back to that hell hole of a home..." I looked down, Eli put his finger under my chin and lifted my gaze to meet his. "Its OK Clare, its all over now. You'll be safe with me, no harm will come to you as long as I'm around." I smiled, then winced. "You should probably be getting some rest. I'm gonna go and talk to the doctor about getting you out of this, white abyss of nothing they call a hospital." He smirked. I giggled and layed down, letting sweet sleep take over me...

ELI POV

I stepped out of her room and quietly shut the door. I walked down the hallway, looking for Clare's doctor, Dr. Wilson. I turned a corner and found him going over a chart with a nurse. I cleared my throat. "Sorry, doctor, I was just checking to see if you happened to know when Clare Edwards can leave?" I inquired. He shooed the nurse away and looked threw a stack of charts and soon pulled one out, "Ah miss Edwards," He flipped through the pages, "It looks like we can let her out tomorrow, after we draw some blood a little later today. We just need a sample to know nothing was infected."

I nodded and smirked, "Sounds good to me, and one more thing?" He nodded for me to go on. "Thank you for helping my girlfriend get better. I know it's your job but, it meant a lot, she was beaten by my arch enemy. So I felt like it was my fault..." "No problem, tell you what, I'll go draw some blood really quick that way you guys can leave tonight." He smiled. "Thank you so much sir! I'll go tell Clare." I thanked him and turned around. When i walked away I could have sworn I heard him say something like 'young love' or whatever. I walk into Clare's room very quietly in case she was still sleeping.

She was awake and there was a nurse talking to her. After the nurse left I went and sat on the edge of the bed. I took her hand in mine and she smiled. "Guess what blue eyes?" I say excitedly. "Let me guess, they are letting me out tonight instead of tomorrow?" she said like she was in deep thought. "I take it the nurse told you?" she nodded, "well after your blood test, we'll go to your house and pick up some of your things and head home." she smiled and nodded again, then her face fell. "I hope my mom isn't there..." "Yeah i hope so too."

...

After her they took her blood, I helped her into the bathroom and handed her, her clothes so she could change. "Do you need any help?" I ask through the door. The door cracks open a bit and she sticks her head out. "Trying to get me out of my clothes, Goldsworthy?" I blushed and looked down quickly. "No I just don't want you to hurt yourself..." She giggled and said," I'm fine, Why don't you go make sure I picked all my stuff up?" I nodded as she shut the door and continued to change. I looked around and found her phone charger on her bed side table and put it in her purse. I then sat on the bed and waited.

after a minute or so, she emerged from the bathroom, "My my, blue eyes, stunning as always." I complimented her, she blushed like usual."Why thank you kind sir." she gave me a sweet chaste kiss to the lips. I held my arm out for her and she looped hers with mine. "Shall we?" She nodded and we continued out the door to the elevators. When we got outside I led her to morty and we hopped inside. I pulled out of the parking lot and headed in the direction of Clare's house. I pulled up to the curb and looked in the drive way to see no cars. Clare sighed in relief. I started to get out, when she stopped me.

"You can wait out here, I'll only be a minute." She smiled sweetly and kissed my cheek. I said OK and she jumped out of the hearse and limped to her door. She opened and stepped inside.

I waited about 20 minutes, when I started to get worried. I unbuckled my seat belt and ran to the door of the house. It was locked. I pounded on it but no one answered. I stepped back to get a running start at. I ran at it and busted it open. OW did that fucking hurt or what! I looked around and saw nothing. "Clare!" I called but heard nothing. I heard a thump from upstairs. I ran up the stairs and into Clare's room. I could hear muffled noises from behind the door. I opened it and couldn't believe what I saw...
