The Downfall of Our Hearts (Chapter4)

Eli's POV

"No Eli… I want you to stay." Clare says to me grabbing my hand and pulling me back over to her.

"W-What?" I ask Clare.

"I love you too." Clare says.

I thought we were destroyed. That our relationship was no more. That the void in the bottom of my heart could never be filled. But at that moment. When those words escaped her lips and her hand pulled mine back in, something in my head sparked and I got a volt of feeling spread throughout my body. The sadness that I have been keeping along for the ride for so long just washed away out into the Ocean of other worries that have disappeared and I couldn't be more glad.

I pick up Clare in my arms and attach our lips. This is right, it has to be. I couldn't possibly want anything more in the world and I will do everything in my power to make this last.

"Can we please go back to where we once were Eli? Where we were when we were happy?" Clare asked with Tear filled eye's.

"Anything you want will happen." I say to her. I can see her look down and blush. That blush I had never seen in what felt a million years. But as she looks down at my arms she looks worried.

"Eli, what happened to your arms?" Clare asks… Oh no my scars from the boiling water I have been bathing in… I can tell this isn't going to go well…

"Well I take really hot showers…" I say to Clare.

"So you turn the heat all the way up to where it burns you?" Clare says looking sad.

"It was the only thing I could think of to take the pain away. The pain I had by not having you." I say to Clare.

She Hugged me tightly.

"Are you mad?" I say to her hoping the answer is a no.

"I'm not mad, I just don't want you to do it anymore Ok? And Eli I have to tell you something…" She says.

"Ok." I say looking her in the eye ready for whatever she has to say.

"When I was with Jake he… He made me have sex with him… every night and made me feel like shit… so I'm sorry if I flinch at all when you get near me because I realized that I get that image and…" She started to cry more and I kissed every tear that dropped down her face.

"I'm going to help you okay Clare? I'm going to do anything I can to make you better again." I say to her kissing her hand softly. She doesn't flinch even once.

"I better go and let you get some sleep Clare." I say to her.

"NO. You cannot leave me Eli stay here please." She looks at me with pleading eyes.

"Clare, if we are going to be together… I still don't want to break any of the rules we already had-" I started but then Clare cut me off.

"No, I just don't want to be alone tonight. Just lay here with me. My dad is at the house tonight and he gets up early for work so he won't even know you're here Eli." Clare says.

I nod and lay down next to her. I wrap my arms around her waist and kiss her softly. I still don't feel her flinch. Maybe she just means more serious stuff is going to freak her out.

We lay there for about an hour and talk but Clare slowly falls asleep and so do I.

Next Day…

When we wake up I decide it might be a good idea for Clare to have a day off and have some fun.

"Eli, you need to get home and get changed for school I almost forgot!" Clare says when she got up. Thank god she Is back to her sweet innocent self.

I smirk and then speak."We aren't going to school today." I say to her. Her worried look advanced into raised eye brows.

"But I just skipped yesterday and so did you!" Clare says worried once again about us getting caught.

"Oh well I doubt the school will even miss us." Eli said smiling.

Clare's POV

Eli stayed in what he was wearing but he looked cute ether way, I got dressed in my blue jeans and flowered pink and green shirt.

Eli and I walked to his house he said he got a new car and I couldn't wait to see what exactly this one looked like.

When we just around the corner he covered my eyes and led me to his house. He counted to three and I laughed but when he un-covered my eye's I saw Morty! Morty was fixed and right in front of my eyes!

"Eli how did he get fixed!" I asked Excited.

"A friend of mine owns a car shop and did it for free, it took a few months but he is all good now." Eli says smiling.

We get into the car and start to drive, I have no clue where we are going but I'm sure as long as I'm with Eli I will have fun.

Eli looks over at me and gives me a quick peck on the lips.

"I couldn't resist, I haven't had the right to do that in so long." He smirks going back to the wheel.

Suddenly we see a car in the distance but its coming down on our side of the road, Eli tries to swerve out of the way but its too late. The car was going 90 miles an hour and hit us. Next thing I know I'm awake in a hospital bed.

When I see a nurse walk in I scream…" WHERE IS ELI!"

"Well I'm afraid I have some bad new's…" She says. And right then my heart stops beating.
