Chapter 6 - Back in the hearse
Clare's pov
I stretched and looked at the calender in my room as I got up, "Yes!" I smiled as I saw that it had been 2 months since the car accident and now Eli could drive Morty again. It hadn't been as great without Morty around and I had become very spoiled by riding to school with Eli lately and didn't like walking there anymore.
It had especially annoying for the first three weeks when my mom felt she had to drive me to school because of my sprained ankle and I couldn't be with Eli in the morning until we got to school. I had been really close with Eli lately he was such a great boyfriend, as cheesy as that sounds it's true.
I was really in love with him, I had never ever felt anything close to this with K.C. so it was a different experience for me. I knew Eli felt the same way about me which made it great on an even greater level, even though I knew he had felt completely in love with Julia before she was a thing of the past to me and Eli as well.
I got dressed, and one cami, my red uniform and skirt later I was eating my breakfast of a bowl of cheerios and putting in my earring while putting mousse in my frizzy, uncoperating hair. I grabbed my bag said goodbye to my mom and in a flash I walked outside to Eli, waiting in Morty in my driveway for the first time in 2 months.
I smiled as I opened the door of the hearse and sat down on the soft passenger seat. I knew it bothered Eli that I always did things myself, like opening my own door, and normally carrying my own books in the hall and that was part of the reason I did it now. I guessed I did this stuff for myself for myself because that was always the way it was when I was dating K.C., I grew a little bitter at the thought but I pushed it out of my head, he had enough to worry about with Jenna's pregnancy growing to an end.
"So" I said to Eli with a little grin in my voice " how come you got your cast in purple?" I said eyeing the thing of plaster still molded onto his arm from the accident I caused. " Oh, so you finally decided to ask me about that" he said smirking at me " well, I got it in purple because I know that purple is your favorite color ."
With that said I think I turned five different shades of red and then pecked his cheek real sweetly, but it didn't even compare to the degree of sweetness (is sweetness a real word? o.o)for what he had done for me. It was especially sweet and nice of him because I knew how much shit he had taken in the past couple months for having it in that color.
Everyone thought that Eli was just the Emo boy at school but they didn't know the real him.
