Clare and Eli were on their way to his filming. Her parents were at church and usually stayed for an all day ceremony and lunch at a friend's house so Clare knew that would take up much time. She cuddled into Eli's side as the driver drove to lower Toronto.
"We're here." The driver said.
They both got out of the cab and made their way through the back of the building to avoid fans. Eli led her into the studio and went to his dressing room. He had one at this setting and one back home since they went back and forth from filming at different locations.
"Where's everyone else?"
"They're filming already."
"My scene is later."
Clare nodded as she hopped onto her couch. Eli changed into his character's clothes and hopped on the couch with her.
Clare moved herself and straddled his lap, "Is there rules against making out your boyfriend?" She questioned teasingly.
"If it was, I wouldn't mind breaking it." Eli smirked before taking her lips in for a kiss. He softly placed his hands on her hips as he kissed her lips. He dove his tongue in her parted lips as his grip on her toughened. The heard a knock on the door and they pulled back,
"Yeah?" Eli called.
"Can I come in?" He heard Fiona's voice and responded with a yes.
"Eli, we need to-Oh hey, was I interrupting?"
"It's fine, Clare, my co-star, you know that. Fi, this is my girlfriend Clare."
"Nice to meet you." Fiona smiled.
"You too." Clare smiled brightly trying to contain her excitement.
"Why did you come in here?" Eli asked as Clare still rested on his lap.
"We have a scene later, I thought we should rehearse."
"Oh okay." Eli said. Clare moved aside to let Eli get up.

Eli and Fiona were rehearsing in his dressing room as Clare lied on the couch watching them.
"Was that good?" Fiona asked Clare for the umpteenth time.
"You guys are perfect; I don't know why you keep doing it over."
"We could never be too good." Fiona defended.
"You alright beautiful?" Eli questioned trying to make sure she wasn't frustrated at all with him rehearsing.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She smiled. "Do you think I'll be able to watch you film?"
He nodded as they continued to rehearse. Soon the director called them out for their take. Eli held Clare's hand as they walked out.
"Hey guys." He introduced to the members on set, directors, editors, writers, etc. "This is my girlfriend Clare and she's gonna watch the filming."
"As long as you aren't distracted." The camera man added. They prepared the set and the filming began.

"How was I?" Eli questioned after it ended.
"Perfect like always." She smiled supplying him with a chaste kiss.
"Ready to go?" She nodded, said their goodbyes and made their way out of the building. They were suddenly attacked by a swarm of screaming fan girls. Eli tried to push through with Clare clinging to him but there was no use. He made his way back into the building and to go through the back.
He went out and it was a couple fans waiting. They begged for pictures and Eli happily obliged asking if Clare if she minded.
"How long have you been acting?" One of the girls questioned.
"Since I was about 5."
"You're so amazing on TV and you're so cute."
Eli smirked, "Thanks."
"You don't know how long I've been dreaming to meet you." Eli awkwardly nodded not having a reply.
"Are you a virgin?"
Eli scrunched his eyebrows, "That's not really your business."
"If you're really desperate…" Her sentence trailed off.
Clare pulled him back by his arm. Eli swallowed the lump in his throat.
"What are you doing?" The girl questioned Clare.
"Leaving with my boyfriend."
"He can't talk with his fans? Why are you controlling him?"
"You're not talking, you're interrogating and flirting with him."
"So what, I asked a simple question and I really hope he didn't give his virginity to a bitch like you."
"Don't talk to my girlfriend like that." Eli said calmly.
"She's being such a bitch."
"I don't care, you're disrespecting her."
"I actually thought you weren't a snobby celebrity."
"I'm snobby for defending my girlfriend?"
"Eli, let's just go." Eli followed Clare down the block to the cab they had called prior. They hopped in and let out a sigh of frustration.
"You alright?" Eli asked caressing her thigh.
She nodded looking elsewhere.
He gently turned her to look at him, "Are you hungry? Do you want to go out to eat?"
She shook her head, "I just wanna go home."
"Clare, look at me."
"Eli, stop." She said moving his hand away from her lap.
"What did I do now?" Eli asked frustrated.
Clare didn't respond and continued to gaze out the window.
"Clare, I have one more day here, you're gonna zone me out the whole time?"
She continued to ignore him and he sighed back. Before they arrived at her house, Eli told the driver to make a detour.
They finally arrived in an unfamiliar neighborhood, "I'll see you later." Eli said.
"Where are you going?" She spoke since the first time they left.
"To my friend's house, you don't want to talk to me so what's the point being around you if you're mad."
"So that's it, you leave tomorrow and I don't see you for like a month?"
"You're the one not talking to me, what the hell did I do?"
"That girl hitting on you."
"Clare, I defended you."
"That's not the point, everywhere we go there's someone hitting on you, and I can't take it anymore."
"I told you so many times and before we got together that this would happen, it's no surprise."
"I know but I can't do it."
"What do you mean? You're breaking up with me?" Surprisingly the cab driver didn't mind being held up, getting a sense of entertainment out of the argument.
"I don't want to break up but I just…why do you always put your fans before me?"'
"Clare, I spend every time I can with you. I've missed meet and greets for my fans to come down and see you."
"Do you choose me before them?"
"Clare, don't ask me that."
"Do you?"
"My fans are my life, I like you a lot and I want to be with you but I would be nothing without them."
"Well thanks for making me feel like shit."
"You know what? I'm not blaming myself for this. You're being a self-centered bitch. Call me when you mature." Eli spat before getting out of the cab and slamming the door.
Clare's mouth fell agape and eyes filled with unshed tears as she watched Eli make his way in his friend's house.
"Are you going to the original destination?" The driver asked.
"Y-yes." She choked out.
She leaned her head against the car window and cried as the driver drove her home.

Clare finally arrived in her house and trailed upstairs. She immediately cuddled into her blanket and cried to herself. She wanted to call Eli back but didn't know if he would even wanted to talk to her. What the hell would she say to him?
She decided to grow some guts and pulled her phone out of her bag. She dialed his number and put it on speaker and set it down next to her. The phone rang for a while until he picked up,
"Hello?"
"Hey." She softly spoke.
"What is it?"
"Please don't be mad at me."
"You're being selfish Clare."
"Eli, I'm sorry. Please come." She cried.
"So you can tell me how I'm being mean? Give me the same lecture again? Clare, I'm not gonna give up on my fans."
"And I don't want you to. I just want to talk to you in person. I'm trying to be mature like you said. Eli please come over."
She heard silence on the line.
"Please." She begged.
"Fine, I'll be there in like 20 minutes."
"Thank you." She hung up.

Clare heard her bell ring downstairs and crawled out of the bed. She walked downstairs and opened it for Eli.
She interlocked their hands and led him upstairs to her room. She lied back down in her bed and Eli sat next to her.
"Are you gonna talk to me?" Eli asked.
"I'm really sorry."
"Saying sorry doesn't do anything. Clare, I need you to understand or we can't be together. Fans will always do this but I'm with you Clare. Out of the millions of fans, I chose you."
"I know and I'm so lucky to be with you. I just feel that one of them is just going to go too far and you'll just leave me."
"Babe, I'm not leaving you. You mean so much to me and you're amazing but if this jealousy thing continues and you can't handle it then we can't be together."
"I can handle it. Why'd you call me a bitch?" She asked finally looking at him with tears running down her cheeks.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean it but you were being self-centered."
"Every time we disagree, you're going to yell and curse at me?"
"I'm not Clare, I'm sorry."
She nodded and wiped her tears, "Can you lie down with me?"
Eli kicked off his shoes and threw off his jacket and lied under the blankets with her. He wrapped his arm around her as Clare resting on in his shoulder.
"What time are you leaving tomorrow?"
"I can leave whenever I want."
"Can we go out tomorrow?" She asked.
"Sure, where?"
"Can we go roller skating?"
Eli nodded and kissed her lips, "Clare, you mean a lot to me and I don't want you to think I'm taking this for granted."
Clare nodded, "I understand and I'm sorry again."
"Just kiss me please." Eli muttered against her lips. Clare blushed and attached her lips to his and fell into a night of intense making out.
