Chapter 9: Snap
Eli's POV
This was the happiest I'd felt since the accident happened. Adam was standing in my doorway. I needed my best friend so badly.
"Adam! Is that really you?" I blubbered.
Adam walked over to my bed and stood at the foot of the bed, directly in front of me.
"Eli…" he tried to choke back tears. "are y-you ok-kay?"
I smiled through my tears. "Adam…" I stammered. "Cl-Clare…she's in..a coma" my chest tightened and I felt like I couldn't breath as I tried to speak.
Adam's eyes grew wide, and the tears just poured out of him.
I tried to hold back sobs, but they just took over my body. "she hasn't changed at all…they wont…they won't even let me see her!" I screamed through my tears.
My dad spoke then. "come on Cece, lets give these two some time to talk"
My mother stroked my cheek and placed a kiss on my forehead. "everything will be okay, sweet boy" she said wiping her own tears before leaving the room with my dad.
I continued to sob, and Adam came to sit next to me on my bed. "Adam…I c-cant…lose..her"
Adam cleared his throat trying to find the control in his voice before speaking. "Eli…Clare is the strongest person I know…She'll m-make..it..I know she will"
I sobbed into my hands and blubbered. "IT'S ALL MY FAULT! …how could I let this happen! …I was ..was suppose to protect her! That's my job!" I continued to sob and Adam just held me in a tight embrace trying to control his own tears.
We were interrupted by someone opening the door to my room, I figured it was a nurse or the doctor so I didn't bother to move and check. Adam didn't either. Until they spoke.
"am I interrupting something?" my eyes shot open and everything stopped.
Adam turned around and hissed in disgust! "What the fuck are YOU doing here?"
I wanted to get out of bed and punch the smug look off his face! But I was frozen, something was holding me back …Clare.
"I came to visit Eli …and Clare" he said.
anger started to build inside as her name escaped his lips.
"WTF FITZ! You need to get out of here now!" Adam was still yelling in his face as where Fitz just kept his eyes on me as If Adam wasn't even there.
Disgust. I wanted to spit in face more than anything! ..but I know Clare wouldn't want me to do that.
Fitz rolled his eyes and looked at Adam. "Get out of my face little girl! …besides I already went to see Clare just thought I'd check to see if you were still around too" he shoved Adam out of the way and stood closer to my bed.
Adam groaned! "Fitz get the hell out of here right now! Nobody wants you here!"
I closed my eyes trying to control my temper.
'besides I already went to see Clare..' his voice echoed in my mind.
He went to see her! That bastard! my blood was beginning to boil. I tried to control my breathing and calm myself down but I knew as soon as I opened my eyes I would explode.
With my eyes still closed I spoke. "Fitz leave. Right. Now."
"okay fine emo boy, I'll leave. I was just trying to be nice anyway. You know cause that's what Clare would want me to do"
I snapped.
My eyes shot open and I lunged out of my bed ripping the I.V. attached to my arm completely out. I was now on top of him punching him repeatedly. I felt the anger boil inside of me. I saw nothing but my bawled up fists hitting his disgusting face repeatedly. Adam tried to pull me away but nothing could stop me. There were machines beeping and Adam screaming at me to stop. It didn't take long for the room to be filled with doctors and nurses to stop the commotion.
"Eli! STOP IT! ..Eli you don't want to do this STOP!" Adam said trying to gain control of me. He failed.
"ELI! What are you doing!" my father said screaming. He ripped me off of Fitz my blood still boiling I tried to lunge back at him! My father grabbed me by my shoulders and looked me straight in the eyes.
"Eli! ..Eli! calm down. Breathe."
I closed my eyes and inhaled in and out slowly.
"calm down. Are you okay?"
I looked at my father no expression on my face.
"yeah. Im fine."
"then what the hell was that Eli! Look at him!"
I looked over at Fitz laying on the floor as the nurses and doctors huddled around him on the floor. There was blood everywhere. I looked down at my hands still balled in fists. I stretched them out making my bloody knuckles sting in pain. I looked back at Fitz. He wasn't moving at all. I completely knocked him out.
"he deserved it" I smirked proudly.
Bullfrog looked at me and shook his head. Rage and disappointment plaguing his expression and he just walked away to speak to one of the doctors. Adam came up from behind me looking pretty shaken.
"What the hell man! I hate Fitz as much as you but What the hell was that!"
"he deserved it Man, and you know it. I just couldn't stand to hear him talk about Clare like that"
"What would Clare say about this Eli?" he said knowing that would get me.
I just looked down and shook my head. "Everything I do is for Clare. Excuse me for losing my temper"
Adam put his hand on my shoulder. "I get it man. But look…" he pointed a Fitz "you could have killed him Eli"
I looked down at Fitz again and just shook my head. Ooh Clare…where are you when I need you most. Please come back to me. I looked down at my bloody hands and the tears came streaming down my face. I balled my hands into fists and fell to ground and my sobs took over my body.
"Clare…please come back to me…I need you" I whispered through my sobs.
Just then I shot my head up as a nurse came storming in to the room out of breath from running.
"its Clare…She is awake!" she said practically screaming at everyone in the room.
"CLARE!" I screamed picking myself up from the floor and running quickly out of the room.
"What room is she in! Tell me now!" I said running down the hall leaving in everyone in my room following my trail.
