I own nothing.
So I think we all know that I suck at updating, but hey I'm trying. Anyway school is out for me which is why this is up unfortunately this is the last chapter. So enjoy!
ELI
I don't know if I'll just be able to forget her like she's asking me to or open up completely either, I do know that if I promise her this it will be her dying wish, which means that I must honor it.
"Eli, Eli you have to! I can't worry about you. You hav-" she cuts off and she goes abnormally still in my arms while her eyes roll backward. Then like a jolt of electricity she vibrates violently.
What is she doing? She moves uncontrollably making my heart raced. A seizure! Oh my God! Oh my God she's having a seizure! I don't know what to do! The Edwards family had been prepared for this, not me.
"Darcy! Help! Darcy! Ms. Edwards! Please somebody help! Somebody please!" I lay Clare as flat as I can knowing I am not supposed to move her much.
Darcy is the first through the door. She gently pushes me away and blocks my view with her body, all I can she is Clare's flailing legs. Oh God Clare what have I done. I'm so sorry.
"I promised Clare! I promised!" I sob out. "Please."
Helen and Randall are in the room now and Randall pulls me away from the room, from Clare. I thrash like Clare against him, but he grips me and looks me in the eyes.
"Calm down boy. Just go downstairs," he turns and gives me a little push to the stairs, so I go.
CLARE
I lay here breathing slowly, because we are waiting for my mom to get off the phone. I don't know where Eli is, but I do wish Alli was here, her parents are right, she shouldn't be here. My mom enters with the phone in her hand.
"The doctor said that the-"
"Wait," I hear my father say. He comes in with Eli behind him.
"Okay," my mother goes on, "The doctor said that the seizures will become much more frequent. And that they might be the cause of you know…"
I hear Eli mutter a dammint, but no one else pays any mind to him because all of their eyes are on me.
"Oh, well in that case Eli, I want you to leave." I say with a level voice.
"Clare?" I can hear in his voice that he is hurt. "He rushes over to me and kneels beside the bed.
"I'm trying to keep my promise," he whispers, "If I leave here I am not sure what I will do." He softly cries, "Please. Let me stay." He begs.
"Eli," I whisper conscience that my family is two feet from us. "I don't want you to see me like this." I pull my purity ring off and take his hand. "If I can give you anything I would like it to be this. I love you, so much, that I don't want you to see me like this. I know that you want to be here for me, it is what you do. You're my rock, but I right now I need you to leave. Please.
"Clare, I can't. I can't just leave. Don't make me. Rocks don't move."
"Fine." I say, "Can you go get me a glass of water?"
"Yes, of course."
He gets up, leans over me, puts his hands on either side of my face, and presses his lips to mine. I am fully aware that my family is watching, but I put my hands to his face also. I didn't want our last kiss to be like this; just a second ago I was foaming at the mouth like a rabid dog. He presses so hard that I know he is saying goodbye, he is saying it quietly, because Eli has never really been the verbal type. What seems like twenty years is really only about twenty seconds.
"I love you Clare Diana Edwards, forever," he whispers just to me.
"I love you too, Eli. For my existence." He smiles slightly and leaves.
When I start to cry my family gathers on the bed with my mother muttering:
"That was beautiful."
I may not be able to see them clearly, but that's okay. I will go with my family close to me, and Eli just down the hall. I close my eyes, because finally everything is at peace and there is nothing but the sound of my weak beating heart as it slows.
So what do ya'll think? Good, Bad, Nothing?
Tell me how you guys feel!
So, depending on if I feel like typing some more over the summer I may be posting a new story about Eli and Clare(duh!) but Eli might be a drug addict. Lol. So tell me if you might want to read that, but if you guys do then I will probably type a lot of it before I post it just so we can avoid you guys having to wait like months for every chapter. So review!
R&R! Please!
