A/N: I own, well, a lot of stuff. Not Degrassi, how sad. I know right? Okay, I love reading reviews and I'd like to see more or I might not update as fast. I'm going to try and keep it under 4 days. Yes, school gets in the way especially when I get a week where we just get too much homework. If I don't have my next chapters up in 5 days, well, something might be wrong. = (
I had a comment on making the relationship move slower, and I agree. If I were you, I would read this chapter very carefully otherwise you may get slightly confused. I'm glad you like my writing and currently working on another piece. One-shot Eli/Clare (obviously) It's called "Late Night Tease" look out for it in the next few days! Warning, It's rated M.
Mkay, enough of my rambling. Here's chapter 4. Enjoy! = )
All I could hear were voices around me, mostly my mother's and another unknown one.
"He'll be fine, he just needs rest and he'll be out by four this afternoon." The voice said. "It was only a concussion."
Concussion? That explains a lot. Especially why my head hurts like hell. Wait, what is beeping? Oh, I'm in the hospital now. Gotta remember to thank my dad for that one. And suddenly, I'm feeling really tired.
o-o
"Eli, she's here!" My mom yelled.
I was so happy to finally see her since she got back from vacation. Three weeks at her grandparents was like torture here for me. I went downstairs to greet her.
"Hey, miss me?" She said pulling me into a hug. I missed almost everything about her.
"Yeah, I'm just happy you're back. Ready to go?"
"Sure, where are we going?" She asked, as we walked out the door and into Morty.
"I wish I could tell you. But you'll have to wait and see." I smirked at her.
After 30 minutes of driving she couldn't take it anymore. "Eli, can you please tell me where we're going now?"
"Nope." Short and simple. Just like that.
"Fine, but are we almost there?"
"Yeah, just right around that corner up there."
I was taking her to a lake that I had loved when I was younger, and I hoped she loved it too.
"Oh. My. Gosh. This place is amazing. I love how the sun sets perfectly over the lake. Kodak moment?"
Usually I hate getting pictures taken but she was my girlfriend so I couldn't say no. "Yeah, sure. Just this one right?"
"Of course! Now get over here." I obeyed and stood behind her shoulder. "Eli, I-I…"
"You what?" She almost never stuttered around me.
"I-Iloveyou." She mumbled.
"You…love me?" I was in shock.
"I'm so sorry! Don't hate me please." She tried to hide her face.
"Don't say you're sorry, and I don't hate you. I love you, too." I brought her into a hug.
"Thank you, for not pushing me away. I really love you for that, too." She rested her head on my chest and we just stood there.
o-o
I heard more voices. I recognized one as Adam. Another one as my mom. And two more that I was unfamiliar with. Maybe more nurses? Probably. My head feels better but now I'm just starving. I tried to sit up but failed miserably. I half-opened my eyes to see what was going on.
"Eli, Eli, Eli. Why do you always get hurt? I guess you're just a daredevil. But I really wish you would be more careful sometimes. " My mom didn't know I was awake. She doesn't know that my own father-her husband- always beats me half to death.
I wanted so badly to be out of this place, and food. Everyone left so now I only had myself for company. I wonder what happened to Clare, too. I haven't seen her here. Or does she even know where I am?
I looked at the clock. It was only two and I was supposed to be here for another two hours.
"What's done is done! You can't take it back." I yelled.
"It's not my fault. Please, don't do this." She was almost in tears.
"But you went along with it. That's good enough to know that you don't really love me then."
"I do love you…" She whispered.
"No, you wouldn't hurt me like that if you did." I just wanted her to be gone. To leave me and go break someone else's heart.
"Fine, don't believe me, but you'll regret it. Just know that you made me do it, and you were my first love." And with that said, she left.
Regret what? And what did I make her do? She was confusing me, but I just shrugged it off. I've got better stuff to do than be mad at someone who lies to me.
I drove home and got a picture message. The number was unknown so I opened it out of curiosity when usually I'd ignore something from some random number.
Eli:
You have to know that I lied because I didn't want to hurt you. I never expected you to find out. I honestly do love you, but I had to go out of my way to help a friend. Can you understand that? You were the first one that I ever opened up to completely. And I trusted you and you trusted me. You know all my secrets and you stayed true to me, but I know that I shouldn't have lied, but at the same time I believe that I had to. I already told you once, you were my first love and always will be. But by the time you're done reading this, you'll also be the last. I'm sorry…
Xox
After I'm finished reading…I'll be the last… I repeated it over and over in my head. I knew who it was from, and finally came to a conclusion.
She was dead.
Last Note: I loved writing this one…call me crazy…but I just did. Sorry its shorter, but I felt I had to end it there otherwise it wouldn't be as much fun. Did you read carefully? If you did, you shouldn't be confused. If you didn't read carefully, well…you may want to pay closer attention to detail so you don't get confused. Did that confuse anybody? Hahaha.
What do you think happened, and who's dead? Tell me what you guys think in your reviews. They make me smile and I know you care. = )
~Love
