chapter 7
Eli's POV
"Hey stranger." Clare said in the sweetest voice. My heart fluttered when she looked at me with those deep blue eyes.
"Hey beautiful, what are you doing out of bed?" I asked and she tryed to get back up ,but I leaned her back down on the bed.
"Eli I have to pee." She whined and I chuckled at how she sounded.
"Well why didn't you just wake me I could have helped you."
"I didn't want to wake you, you looked so peaceful and...sexy when you sleep." She said and a blush creped on her cheeks and she looked down shyly. I smiled at how shy she still gets around me.
"Hey Eli...um...can you help me to the bathroom?" She asked and I helped her to the bathroom and back to her bed. I went to sit back in the chair I set next to her bed , but she grabbed my arm before I could sit.
"Can you lay with me?" She scooted over to make room for me on the bed, I layed down next to her and she dug her head into my chest. There were a few minutes of silence, so I decided to break it.
"You know I love you...and I would do anything for you." I said into her hair and kissed the top of her head. Clare looked up at me and smiled, a bright smile.
"I know, I love you too, I would get shot it the leg again for you." She giggled and I smirked. I leaned down and placed a chaste kiss on her lips before she pulled away and buried her head back into my chest.
"Well isn't this cute." Clare and I shot our heads up at the all to familiar voice. Adam was standing at the door with his arm in a cast and a smile on his face.
"Hey man, how's your arm?" I asked.
"Hurts like hell but it's alright." Adam walked over to the bed and sat in the chair next to it.
"Hey Clare how's your leg?" Adam asked leaning back into the chair.
"Hurts like hell, but it's alright." We laughed at Clare's statement.
"Well that's what you get for being a bad ass." Adam said.
"Hey says the one who was laying on the ground crying." Clare retorted. Adam but his good arm up in surender.
"Alright alright you win this round." We all laughed again.
I love how we can all laugh about everything that happened even though it was so tragic. That thought was interupted when I felt my shirt getting wet and the bed shaking, then realized Clare was crying. It killed me to see Clare like this and it pissed me off thinking about the reason.
"Clare it's ok I'm here." I stroked her hair and whispered sweet nothings in her ear that seemed to calm her sobs.
"No it's not Eli, I feel like a freaking slut!" She screamed. I lifted her face to look at me.
"No, your not Clare don't ever let me hear you call yourself that word again, your a loving, smart, and beautiful person that got caught in a terrible situation."
"Then why don't I feel like it? I was used in the most horrible ways." Clare started sobbing again. Adam sat on the edge of the bed and put a hand on Clare's shoulder.
She sat up and whiped away her tears with the back of her hand and sniffled. She looked at me and there was a knock at the door. Clare's parents were standing in the doorway smiling.
"Hi honey how are you feeling?" Her mother came and put a hand on Clare's cheek.
"I'm fine mom, just a little tired."
"Well sweety you should get some rest...Adam, Eli out Clare needs to sleep." Ms. Edwards commanded. Adam and I looked at eachother and got off the bed. I was stopped when Clare's hand wrapped around my wrist.
"No mom Eli is staying." Clare said pulling me back on the bed.
"Clare you need your rest and you can't sleep with Eli and Adam here, and frankly Eli is the reason you are in this mess." Clare's eyes widened at her words, but I didn't really blame her, it was partly my fault.
"Why don't you stop being such a bitch and thank Eli, he actually saved me." Clare gripped onto my wrist tighter and I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and kissed her temple.
Her mother was flabbergasted by her words and her face showed it clearly.
"Clarer Diane Edwards you wil watch how you talk to your mother." Her father jumped in when her mother was speechless.
"Well she needs to stop being this way towards Eli, always putting him down and critisizing him-"
"Clare its ok I don't mind"
"NO ELI IT'S NOT OK!" The heart moniter started to beep faster and Clare was fuming.
"Clare baby calm down." I said laying her down on the pillow only to have her shoot back up.
"No I'm sick of her always putting you down and being so mean to you, and I see how it hurts you and it hurts me too." Clare's voice cracked at the end and she started crying and buried her face in my chest.
"I think it's best you two leave." I said holding onto Clare while she cried.
6 months later
Clare's POV
I still had the nightmares about what happened , even after I left the hospital. I would try to sleep on my own but I couldn't. My mom had to give me sleeping pills to knock me out for a few hours. I was laying on my bed staring at the ceiling in the dark just thinking. My phone buzzed signaling I had a new text. I leaned over and picked up my phone from the night stand and Eli's name flashed across the screen.
Hey howz my beautiful girlfriend doing ;)
-Eli
I smiled while I read the text, I replied back
Pretty good howz my sexy boyfriend doing ;)
-Clare I sent the message and within minutes he already replied.
Alright I just miss you...do u want to do something tonight?
-Eli
I really wanted to get out of the house and away from my parents fighting. It pisses me off that even though they're divorced they still fight like they're married, and annoy the hell out of me.
Sure anything to get out of the house...what did you have in mind?
-Clare
That's a surprise be there in 20
-Eli
Must you be so secretive :P
-Clare
Absolutley!
-Eli
I got out of bed and walked to my closet and picked out a white off the shoulder top with the word 'love' written in red with a red tank top underneath, dark wash skinny jeans and white flip flops. When I finished getting ready I heard Morty coming around the corner and I soon got a text from Eli.
I'm here :)
-Eli
I ran down the stairs and out the door without my parents knowing, which wasn't hard since they were so wrapped up in their fight. I ran to Morty and opened the door and slid in the passenger seat.
"Hey." I said out of breath from running. Eli looked at me with a smirk and said
"Excited to see me?" He said. I leaned over and kissed him passionatly. He was surprised but then started kissing me back. I wrapped my arms around his neck while he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him. We then pulled away out of breath a few minutes later.
"Does that answer your question?" I smiled at him and he turned Morty on and we drove away from my house. I couldn't take it anymore I had to know where we were going.
"Eli where are you taking me?" I whined. I knew I sounded annoying but I had to get it out of him somehow.
"Not telling you." He sing songed and kept driving.
"Please Eli give me a hint." I whined again. He looked like he was thinking about it then looked away from the road for a breif moment to look at me.
"It's where we started."
