Mine
Clare sighed closing the door to her bedroom at her grandma's quietly behind her, and making her way to the bed she'd be spending the next few weeks of her life sleeping in. Suddenly she heard the muffled pounding of feet, and screams from her parents.
'Leave it to them to ruin this break by fighting!' She thought angrily.
Clare couldn't escape their screaming even at her own grandmothers! She thought they would at least have some respect, and not fight here of all places. Obviously she had been so wrong. Clare scowled looking over to the bedside table where her iPod, and Eli's headphones sat. She yanked them off the table, and put on the headphones turning the music up full blast. Mine by Taylor Swift filled her ears.
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
You were in college, working part-time, waiting tables
Left a small town and never looked back
I was a flight risk, afraid of fallin'
Wondering why we bother with love, if it never lasts
She thought of Eli once again.'Come on Clare quit thinking about him ever five seconds!' She told herself sternly. Suddenly she sighed; Clare knew it was no use. She missed seeing him every day.
I say, "Can you believe it?"
As we're lyin' on the couch
The moment, I can see it
Yes, yes, I can see it now
Clare closed her eyes giving into her thoughts. Her mind wandered around aimlessly thinking about times with Eli that she had had over the past months. So much had changed in so little time. Eli had brought out a side of Clare she never knew existed. The funny thing was not only did it scare the crud out of her, but she also yearned it; dare say loved it.
Do you remember, we were sittin' there, by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
The old Clare wouldn't skip class, the old Clare wouldn't set of a stink bomb in the school, and she defiantly wouldn't dare to jump into a hearse to ride anywhere with some boy. This Clare, though she was still herself in some sense, this Clare was more adventurous, and this Clare didn't care as much about what other people thought of her.
Flash forward, and we're takin' on the world together
And there's a drawer of my things at your place
You learn my secrets and figure out why I'm guarded
You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes
But we got bills to pay
We got nothin' figured out
When it was hard to take
Yes, yes
Clare vaguely wondered what the future held for her and Eli. Where would they be in the years to come? Still together hopefully; yeah there was no doubt in Clare's mind that she would still be with Eli. She could imagine their life together. A small apartment in the city while they went through Collage, and then afterwards; who knew!
This is what I thought about:
Do you remember, we were sittin' there, by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Clare's mind wandered off once more remembering her and Eli's fist date. Eli had decided to surprise her, and so she had had no idea where they were going. He had taken her to an empty field that held not a soul; well except one tree. She had been struck by the shear peacefulness, and beauty the field held. He had placed a small blanket in the middle with a picnic basket. Long story short they had a starlight dinner. Which included stargazing after wards. It had been the most amazing first date ever.
Do you remember all the city lights on the water?
You saw me start to believe for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh
She opened her eyes slightly looking around at the familiar walls. She smiled remembering all the times her and Darcy had had in this very room. From when they were little up to when Darcy's life had suddenly gone downhill. Clare frowned slightly; she also wished Darcy was there. Darcy would love Eli. Clare wanted Darcy to meet him really bad. Telling her about him over quick phone class, long emails, and short letters wasn't enough. She hoped Darcy would return home for a bit next summer like she had planned for a while now.
Clare closed her eyes once more getting back into the music.
And I remember that fight, two-thirty AM
You said everything was slipping right out of our hands
I ran out, crying, and you followed me out into the street
She began wondering if she and Eli would have more fights. Surely they would, I mean they were only human right? Though Clare wondered if any fight they could have would be bad enough that they would break up.
Braced myself for the goodbye, cause that's all I've ever known
Then, you took me by surprise
You said, "I'll never leave you alone."
Clare quickly shied away from the thought. Who knew what could happen the possibilities were endless.
Suddenly Clare felt her phone buzz in her pocket. She snatched it up instantly opening the text.
Miss me yet? ;) –Eli
it read.
You said, "I remember how we felt, sitting by the water.
And every time I look at you, it's like the first time.
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter.
She is the best thing that's ever been mine."
Always so full of ourselves aren't we Elijah? –Clare
she sent back.
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Absolutely! –Eli
he had sent back to her.
Well if you must know yes I miss you :P –Clare
I love you :)
–Eli
Clare smiled as she read this message.
Love you too! –Clare
she sent this back setting her phone on the table beside her bed.
Clare slipped the headphones off sighing as she heard her mother call her down for dinner. She made her way to the door, but stopped thinking back to her thoughts from earlier.
Yes the possibilities were endless.
Do you believe it?
We're gonna make it now
And I can see it
I can see it now
A/n: Yes if you guys were wondering for now this is the last chapter. I might add another, but if I do then that will be the last one. I kind of like it ending this way it seems like a good ending, and plus with the new stuff going on in the show this kind of seems pointless. I really loved this story though, and I hope you guys did too. The song I used is Mine by Taylor Swift. Please review!
-Love, Lina
