Clare Pov
"Go to the party mommy, I'll be fine. Auntie Darcy will look after me," Edan said reassuring me.
A three year old telling his mom to go have fun. I glanced at him worriedly, I never liked leaving Edan too much. It was the mother instinct in me, "I don't know, are you sure you don't want to go with me? If you need anything call me right away," I said nervously.
He rolled his eyes playfully and kissed my cheek, "You look pretty mommy," he says smirking at me adorably.
My baby boy. "I love you darling," I murmured softly as I brought him into my arms hugging him tightly.
My heart tugged and a smile rose on my face, I pulled away and looked at Darcy. "Don't worry, I'll look after him. Have fun and be safe," she said.
I sighed and nodded my head, hearing a honk come from outside. "Well Alli's here, I'll be home before ten," I said.
"Bye mommy," Edan whispered softly.
I smiled softly at him and left before I could convince myself to stay and think that this party was a bad idea after all.
*~*R*~*
We walked through the school doors, I didn't realize I was holding my breath until we came to the entrance of the gym room. Alli looked at me worriedly, "Are you okay?" She asked.
I took a deep breath, "Yeah, I'm fine."
I opened the door and gasped quietly, room was decorated with full of lights and fancy decorating. A few people that I noticed from high school glanced at me, giving weird looks. I looked down at my feet and walked towards one of the tables feeling my face flush as I heard a couple of people whispering my name. "Clare!" I heard someone call.
I looked up slowly and saw Jenna with K.C., and little Jaime with them. "Hi guys," I said.
"Are you feeling okay?" Jenna asked.
"Yeah, it was just a small flu," I said.
She smiled at me, "So did you hear..." Jenna trailed off unsure.
"About what?" I asked. Alli scowled at Jenna and interrupted her before she could open her mouth.
"It's nothing Clare, a flu is just going around;. A big one," she muttered.
I looked at her curiously, "Uhm...okay then. I'll be right back," I said standing up to get a drink.
I reached into my purse and checked my phone, seeing if Darcy called me. I looked around the gym room, the school was bring too much memories it was a bit unbearable. Here and there, I would see people look at me and whisper to the person right next to them. I played with the hem of my dress nervously, feeling slightly self-conscious. After having Edan, it was a bit noticeable that I had a baby especially if you saw the faint stretch marks on my stomach though after a couple of months, I got my body back. "You look gorgeous," someone said.
My eyes widened, I looked up to see Mark Fitzgerald. "Hi, I haven't seen you in a while Fitz," I said. The last time I must have saw him was probably a month ago when he was staying here for a few weeks from Australia. After he left, Fitz actually tried cleaning up his act. I didn't know if it was for him leaving or if he decided to change himself. Though we actually had some nice conversations around the years.
He shook his head, "I know, how's Edan Munro?" He asked.
"He's doing very well, he'll be turning four in only two weeks," I said.
"That's really good, maybe we could see each other sometime this week. It'll be nice to catch up on some things," he said.
I nodded my head slowly, "Yeah, that would be great," I said warily.
Just then, I saw Adam walk through the entrance. "I'll see you around," I said to Fitz before heading over to Adam.
He looked over to me, his eyes widening. "Well hello there beautiful," he said.
I rolled my eyes, hugging him tightly. "I'm glad you here," I said.
"Well I couldn't let you die of boredom," he joked.
"Of course, you're the life of the party," I said. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and led me to the table, I couldn't see Ali anywhere, but Jenna and the others were still around. "What took you so long to get here?" I asked.
His eyes shifted away from me, noticing that he did that if he was either nervous or shy. "Just ran in to someone at the door," he muttered.
"Who was it? Tell me," I pleaded.
He shook his head and I huffed in annoyance. Everyone was hiding too much secrets from me this week, "Adam, who was it?" I asked again.
"Edwards?" Someone asked.
My heart froze, no one else called me Edwards except for someone in particular. Adam's head snapped up to the person behind me, I was too afraid to look. Too many emotion wash through me that it was too hard to comprehend what I was feeling right now. It was as if time slowed down at the very moment, "Clare?" He asked again.
My face burned and I turned around to see the person that has been haunting my dreams for so long, "Eli," I gasped.
Review please!
