They were driving to Clare's house her first because she said she had to get a couple of things before she stayed the night at his house. They arrived in front of her house. "Stay right here. I'll be back in like 2 minutes." Clare said. "I'll be waiting" Eli responded.
Clare ran upstairs to grab some necessities out of her room. By the time she packed her bag and was heading for the door, her mom stopped her.
"Clare, where are you going?" Her mom asked in an interrogating tone.
"I'm going to sleepover Eli's, I told you I was spending the day with him, it's his birthday."
"Well I'm gonna need you stay here because I need helping making dinner."
"Dinner for whom?" Clare questioned. "Dad hasn't been here in forever, I'm going out, Why do you need my help just to make dinner for yourself?" She questioned.
"You need to stay. End of discussion"
Clare stood their confused and hesitant to respond. "Just because you're so lonely doesn't mean you have to make me." At this point Clare was aggravated and fed up with her mom. Normally, she would deal with it but lately she's been dragging her down so much, it's beginning to make her life miserable.
"Excuse me?" exclaimed Clare's mom. They were interrupted by the door bell. Clare stormed to the door and opened it.
"I thought you said it was only gonna be 2 minutes." Eli said.
"Yea, but I just got in an argument with my mom, and she won't let me come over" She said in disappointment.
"What why were you guys arguing?" Eli asked curiously. "Because she's crazy and is having one of her spazzing moments. Clare's mom overheard her "Clare, GET IN HERE". Clare rolled her eyes.
"I can go" Eli said pointing to Morty. Clare shook her head, "please don't"
She grabbed his hand and pulled him in the house with her and he closed the door behind them.
"I need you to start cracking eggs for the…" Clare's mom had looked up. "What is he doing here?" She questioned, they could both hear the anger in her voice. "Well considering you won't let me go to his house, I figured we can stay here"
"Clare, I told you stay home to make dinner, not so you can invite Eli over."
Eli whispered to Clare, "I can just leave" She turned around he looked up at him and shook her head "Don't"
"Clare, I am talking to you" Her voice intensified.
"Well what do you want me to do? I'm not making him leave."
"Eli. I'm sorry but you have to go" Her mom gestured to the door for him to leave.
"It's okay" Eli said. "I understand" and began to let of Clare's hand and headed to the door but she pulled him back. "Eli. I said don't leave" She said in a hushed tone. "But your mom said…" "Don't listen to her" Clare pleaded.
She turned to her mom. "Mom, I'm sick of this. You need to stop. Stop putting your misery on me, please." She begged."I understand you and dad are divorced and it's stressful but you have to stop putting your depression on me. It isn't fair. You're hurting me and it's affecting Eli. Please, just leave me alone"
"But Clare" Her mom interrupted. "MOM, NO" She held Eli's hand and she walked upstairs with him and closed the door behind her. Clare sat on her bed covering her face with her hand. "Oh my gosh, what did I do Eli? My mom is losing the love of her life and I'm making her feel worst than she already does. I'm a horrible daughter." Eli walked over to sit beside Clare.
"But you aren't at all. That was the nicest way I've ever saw someone argue with such anger. Even when you don't realize it, you're still so respectful and sweet to your mom." Eli moved Clare's hands from her face and Clare slowly looked up towards him. "You always know what to say to make me feel so much better."
He kissed her trying to relieve her from the stress. She intensified the kiss, and leaned him against the bed. Clare took off Eli's shirt and rekindled their kiss. "Clare what are you doing?"
"I just need—to get my mind -off things." She struggled to get out as he was still kissing him.
"But not this way, Please." She ignored him, laid him back down, titled his head and kissed his neck. He didn't pull back; he gave her more room for her to suck on his neck. She began to unbuckle his belt.
"Whoa. Okay, Yeah, That's it. Clare, STOP." Eli shot up. "What's wrong?"She asked.
"You're going too far".
"Am I not the one who supposed to stop you from going too far? Clare asked giggling.
"Clare, seriously. You're just doing this for the sake of it. You're basically using me to the spur the moment. And don't you remember this?"
Eli asked rubbing her finger where her purity ring was. She took it off and threw it on the floor on top of his shirt. "Who cares?" "I do." He responded. She laid him back against the bed so spontaneous and aggressively, he couldn't even finish talking. She rubbed her hips against his waist and kissed him. Her tongue interlocked with his, she bit his lip passionately. Moving to his neck, sucking it again until it began to redden. It was hard for Eli to stop her, but he knew he had too. "You've got to be kidding?"
He looked at the ring on floor and went to pick it up and handed it out to her. "I don't want it anymore, Can you just please sleep with me?" He sat on the edge of the bed with her next to him. "What has gotten into you?" He asked. He grabbed her hand to put the ring back on her finger just after he had put on his shirt. She retrieved. "Eli, I said no. I don't need it. I'm going to have sex with you so I won't need it anymore." Eli huffed, "You're not having sex with me." He responded bluntly.
"But why? Don't you want me?" "Seriously, Clare. Don't start with that. You're acting like this just because you're stressed over your mom"
"So you're rejecting me?" Clare's heart dropped and she began to tear. She walked to the door in such rage and opened it to walk downstairs. "Clare, stop. What's wrong?"
"Well, I mean you just rejected me completely, but of course it's no big deal." She was completely balling of tears.
"But Clare, you're crying so much. I don't get it. I'm sorry. I just don't want you to regret it. That's all" She slid down against the door and cried even more. "Eli, it's not fair."
"I'm sorry" He had suddenly felt so bad for rejecting her. How could he have caused her this much pain?
"It's not your fault. It's my mom, my parents, the divorce. Everything. I can't take it. I can't go through this and I feel so bad. She's down there by herself but I want to be with you. I just don't know anything. I don't know who to choose. Eli, I cant" She was breathless by the time she finished."
"You don't need to choose. It's fine if you want to spend time with your mom though this is difficult, I'll help you get through it. I promise you it's going to get so much better. Trust me." She looked up at him knowing he was referring to the Julia situation when he said "it's going to get so much better."
He wiped her tears from her cheek. He wiped her eyes which were still red. "Now, I look a mess. This is just great"
"Oh hush". Eli said playfully. "You look gorgeous. Clare blushed.
"I'm sorry I tried to force you to into having sex with me" Clare said embarrassed.
"It's alright. I mean, another time—when you're perfectly fine—and you possibly, maybe, wanna go further, I wouldn't stop it." Clare glared at him and hit him humorously.
He wrapped his arms around her. "All better?" He asked. "Yeah, Thanks." She lightly kissed him. "But why do you always know how to make things so much better?"
"I guess its kind of my job as your boyfriend" Clare blushed and he brought her back to the bed. They sat in silence and she broke it with an intense kiss. "I don't need to be stressed to show you how intimate I can get." Eli was now the one blushing.
"Do you want to go downstairs and talk with your mom to smooth things over?"
"Yea-but, I want you to come with me." "Sure" Eli responded.
They walked downstairs and watched her as he was cutting the tomatoes for the salad. "Uhhh...Hey mom". Her mom looked up and continued to prepare dinner as if Clare didn't exist. She walked over to her mom who was behind the counter. She sat in front of it on a stool. Eli stayed near the steps so he can let them have their mother-daughter moment. They sat in silence. They both broke it. "I'm sorry" They both said at the same time. They giggled at the coincidence and Clare's mom heard Eli laughing from the staircase. "You can come out here, Eli". He slowly walked out with a shy smirk and sat on the couch away from their conversation.
"You can sit with us" Clare suggested. He walked over to them sand sat next to Clare. Eli nudged Clare to speak up. She looked at him and back to her mom.
"Mom, I-I" She couldn't make the words out. Eli rubbed her thigh for comfort. She looked down at her thigh, then up at him and smiled. "Mom, I want to apologize for overreac-." Clare was distracted by Eli still rubbing her thigh, as he began to raise his hand higher up her thigh. She smacked his hand. "I-uhh apologize for overreacting. It was just in the moment, and I was so stressed. I'm sorry I brought Eli here without permission. I'm sorry I snuck out with him before. I'm sorry we always argue. I'm sorry for not always being there when you needed me. I'm so sorry." Clare's nom smirked.
"Clare Edwards, You are the most amazing and beautiful daughter a mother can ever ask for. You can never be a horrible daughter. And I'm sorry for everything too. I love you." Clare blushed. "And Clare….you can go out now." Clare looked at Eli. "My parents went out and I don't have my key so uhh ...yea" they all giggled at Eli's awkwardness. "I'm sorry" Clare's mom in an apologetic tone. "Want to watch a movie?" She asked. Eli and Clare look at each other uncomfortably.
"I get if guys, you'd rather hang with each other."
"No, sure. We can watch a movie. Right, Eli?"
"Umm, Yea. I don't mind."
"Okay, I'll get the popcorn and you guys can put in the movie" Clare's mom advised. They walked into the living room and Clare pulled out any random movie. "You okay?" She asked Eli.
"Yea, why?"
"I don't want you to feel uncomfortable hanging with me and my mom-together." He chuckled.
"Why not spend time with my girlfriend and future momma." Clare blushed and put in the movie. Clare and Eli sat on the side of the couch, all the way on the left end. They had their hands laced and waited for the popcorn. Her mom came over with the popcorn and sat about 7 inches away from them. Clare realized she was making her mom feel like a third wheel. She let go out of Eli's hand and sat equal distant from both f them. The movie, which none of them had any idea what was the name, brought them together. It was a romantic comedy. About a hour into the movie, Clare moved back towards Eli and held his hand again. Her mom was too wrapped up in the movie to notice she had moved. Eli kept looking down at Clare, "What?" She asked.
"I'm just really proud of you" Clare smirked and kissed him still holding each other's hand. Eli brought his hands around Clare's waist. And they continued to kiss. Clare's mom broke out of the grasp the movie had her in. She noticed Clare and Eli "Ahhh, YOUNG LOVE" Clare and Eli both turned around to look her mom smiling at them and they smiled back. They were about to rekindle their kiss, "Oh Eli…"
"Yes, Ms. Edwards?"
"Happy Birthday." Eli and Clare smiled at her mom who all of a sudden had become the sweetest person. She went to the movie which once again had her in a trance. And Eli and Clare went back to kissing each other. It was some birthday, but it was one Eli knew would be a memorable one.
