The next day, me and Eli decided since it was a Saturday we would spend the day in the park. He picked me up around 9 and we set off. We found a picnic table along the edges of the little kid play area. 20 questions was on again.

I went first this time, "What is your hobby, Eli?"

"Video games, Why are you so uptight?" he asked jokingly.

"Because you are so loose, why do you drive a hearse?"

"Morty called to me,"

"You are really dramatic,"

"I know, do you have any siblings?"

"Yes, what do your parents do?"

"They are radio show hosts, why haven't I heard about your older sister?"

"Because she is in Kenya, do you have any knowledge-based hobbies?"

"Well, I kinda play chess, what is this sister's name?"

"Darcy, how did you get involved in chess,"

"My cousins a genius, what was your sister's role at Degrassi?"

"Head cheerleader, dating the principal's son, why are you asking so many questions abou my sister?"

"Because you've never talked about her to me, What is your favorite non-vampire movie?"

I had to think, I normally just watched the Twilight Saga. "My Girl 2, what is your favorite book?"

"Hmmmm, who said I read books?"

"I asked you a question, now answer it,"

"Okay, probably Call of the Wild, what is My Girl 2 about?"

"Vada is a 13 year old girl who doesn't have a mother, so she goes to L.A. to discover what acheivments her mother accomplished for a school project. She falls in love with her uncle's girlfriend's son, Nick, very twisted, and you'd have to watch it to find out the rest,"

"But I was getting interested," he said pouting.

I kissed his pouting lip and asked, "Do you want to go back to my house to watch it?"

"Yes, I would,"

When the movie was over we just lied on my bed talking for several hours. My dad came in around 6 p.m. to tell me dinner was ready. He didn't even question why a boy was in my room. Eli kissed me and left telling me the same thing he did yesterday.

Dinner was awkward. I left early because I couldn't stand my mom and dad's constant glares. I spent the next hour thinking of how they would keep me up that night screaming at ech other. How mom would leave around midnight to drink her pain away. How dad would angrily do his work until she got home. Only to yell at each other more.

I finally got to sleep around five in the morning and salvaged the hour of sleep I could get. When my alarm went off I groggily got up and took a shower. My parents had already gone to work so I took advantage of the silence. My book was on the table, and I was eading while I was eating my bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios. I was reading Spirit Bound, the fifth book of the Vampire Academy series.

I heard the doorbell ring right as I was putting my bowl in the dishwasher. I put the bookmark in my book and went to answer the door. Eli was standing there satring at the ground.

"Do you need a ride to school?"

"Sure, one second," I grabbed my bag, jacket, and keys.

We headed to the hearse and made it to school with 10 minutes to spare.

I have a feeling Eli knows something is wrong. I mean I know he knows my parents are fighting, but this seems different. And I think something is wrong with him.

"Hey, Clare, how are you doing?" Eli asked while we were eating lunch.

"I'm fine, why?"

"It just seems like you are groggy, and maybe didn't get much sleep last night,"

"I didn't get much sleep, but I feel fine now,"

"Okay, I am just making sure," I held his hand on top of the table.

"Thanks for caring so much,"

I am having writer's block, but I have a pretty good idea of what I'm gonna write next. I just need fillers. Review please!
