Eli POV
We reached Clare's doorstep waiting patiently for her answer.
"Well…?" I asked breaking the awkward silence.
"Eli, it's been amazing knowing you. But I just met you, and I really like you. But we need to get to know each other better before it gets serious." She grabbed my hands and took a step forward so we were only inches apart. "Just wait a few more weeks until we go any further, but I want you to meet my parents, and I want our parents to meet also." She smiled brightly, and her eyes looked beautiful in the moonlight. "Thanks for taking me." She stood on her tippy-toes and kissed my lips softly before giving me a hug and saying goodnight. "Goodnight, Eli."
I watched in shock as she turned me down, I felt like I could just die any moment. When she kissed me though, I was pulled off guard and couldn't help myself but kiss her back. When she told me that we just met, I wanted to tell her so badly that we've met before. We met on the 1st day of freshman year of Degrassi. She just didn't pay any attention to me, she was to busy locking lips with KC. And that just disgusted me.
She told me she wanted our parents to meet, that is good, right? Cause my mom and her mom met each other when they were in high school. So, the will recognize each other and become friends again. This is great. Clare will realize that we've met before, and then she will become my girlfriend. I just know it.
I told Clare goodnight and walked to Morty, I was so excited to tell my mom.
Clare POV
"Mom, do you have plans tomorrow night?" I asked my mom walking into the kitchen.
"No, I don't think so." She looked up and gave me a small smile. "Why?"
"Oh cause, I met this boy, Eli Goldsworthy." Her head shot up right after I said Goldsworthy "And I want you to meet him, and his parents for dinner tomorrow night. Cause I made a promise to him."
"What's the promise?" She asked curiously.
"Uh... That I would become his… girlfriend… if you met him and his… parents." I responded quietly
"I really like him mom, so I would really, really like it if you could just meet him."
My mom had a huge smile upon her face. I didn't know why, but I didn't want to ask because it was kind of scaring me.
"Yes honey! I would love to meet him!" She said about to explode.
"Okay. Mom, I'll text him and tell him." I pulled her into a big hug before saying goodnight. "Thanks Mom."
Eli, my mom said that she could meet for dinner tomorrow night. What about your parents? - Clare
Oh, that's great Clare, I have a surprise for you by the way, and you're going to be speechless. – Eli
Okay. So see you at the Steak House at 7:00 pm? – Clare
Yeah. See you there - Eli
I couldn't help but squeal with excitement as I turned off my phone and got ready for bed. I couldn't wait to meet him parents, and see the surprise. I wonder what it is. I thought about a million different things about what it could be. I smiled at every thought and drifted off to sleep.
The Next Day – No POV – Steak House
Eli and his Mom arrived at the Steak House around 6:45. He was dressed up in his usual clothing but not as much dark colors. He wore a forest green t-shirt with his black jacket, and dark blue skinny jeans. He looked good for tonight. They walked inside the restaurant and looked around; they didn't see Clare or her mom, so they asked the waiter. She looked down the list of names and said with a bunch of excitement "Oh! There you are! This way!" She smiled brightly.
The lady took them both to a little table in the back table where no one was sitting around them. CeCe and Eli looked a little confused at first, but then Clare explained everything.
"My mom has a brain disease, she can't sit near places that have loud music or talking, because then she would get a serious head-ache and pass out." Clare looked at him sadly and took his hand to sit down next to her.
Clare POV
All 4 of them talked and laughed, I was so happy that my mom was getting along with Eli and CeCe really well, I was only hoping my mom would approve
"Clare, There's something that I think we should tell you." Eli said politely smiling brightly at CeCe and my mom.
"What?" I asked.
"Honey, your mom and I have known each other since 5th grade. We were best friends throughout high school and college, then we moved away." CeCe smiled and looked at me. "Just a few years ago we bumped into each other at the store and we couldn't believe it. We talked about how you and Eli were doing at Degrassi and-" I cut her off… I was so confused.
"Woah, Wait, Eli went to Degrassi?"
"Yes, I was in your freshman class for the first semester. You probably didn't recognize me because I had very little hair and it was a dark brown, and I didn't talk much… I liked you then but you were going out with that KC guy." Eli looked at me. "So I couldn't really ask you out." Eli smirked and continued on. "That's why when we were getting ready for the dance; I told you that I had recognized you from somewhere, like I've met you before." Eli smiled brightly.
"Why didn't you tell me this before?" I asked with a strange tone.
"Because Clare, you said you need space." Eli answered me grabbing my hand.
"May we be excused? Clare and I need to talk." Eli looked at my mom and CeCe and they smiled brightly. I think they needed some catching up to do. "We will be at the park if you need us." Eli said but CeCe gave him a motion with her hands telling us to go on and go.
At the Park – Clare's POV
"I can't believe I've known you for THAT long, and didn't even notice it" I chuckled lightly and interlaced me and Eli's hands together. I rested me head on his shoulder and he put his arm around me.
"So, remember when I told you that I wanted our parents to meet first, and to get to know you better before we took the next step?" I asked calmly.
"What are you trying to say Edwards? Are you saying that you want to be my girlfriend?" Eli asked with a very sexy smirk.
"Well, saying that I've known you for almost 4 years and didn't even know it, and saying that our parents have known each other for the last 20 years, I think yes, I would love to be your girlfriend."
I smiled brightly and put my hands around his neck and stood on my toes and kissed him, it wasn't a very sloppy one, but it was full of meaning.
No POV
The kissed lasted for a few moments, and then Eli pulled away because he saw a strange person rushing over towards us. He was wearing all black so couldn't see his face. Clare turned around quickly but and thrown to the ground, someone just hit her.
"Hey don't you ever hit her again!" Eli yelled and punched the stranger in the face. He went flying down making his hoodie come off his head.
Oh. . Clare thought to herself. It couldn't be, it wasn't. The stranger looked up at Clare and smirked. Fitz.
Fitz got back up and punched Eli, making him fall to the ground, Fitz stood over him hitting him repeatedly. "FITZ! Stop it! Don't hurt him!" Clare tried with all she had to pull Fitz off of Eli, but he turned around and pushed her to the ground finishing up with Eli.
Eli was all of a sudden motionless and Clare ran over to him to see if he had a pulse, he was still breathing but completely knock out. Clare crawled over is motionless body and sobbed, but then, all she saw was black. That's all, she couldn't see what else was happening.
Eli POV
I woke up, I couldn't see clearly , everything was blurry. My head was pounding and there was blood next to me. "Clare?" I asked softly, but I didn't hear an answer,. "CLARE?" I asked again but no answer.
I was just about to call 911 but I had a text from Clare.
Eli, please help me. Fitz has me… I'm scared. I love you Eli, just help me. – Clare
My heart stopped. I couldn't breathe, I just wanted to lay there and die.
Clare has been kidnapped by Fitz…
OOOOOOOOO
DUN DUN DUHHHHH! What did you all think? Revieww?
