Song: Follow Me Down- 30!H3
God. They just.. GAH! Clare flopped against her bed, seriously considering smothering herself. They, her parents, would NOT stop fighting. It was really exhausting. She just wished she could get out of here. She shifted to her side, saturated in self pity, and with a sigh started to rifle through her drawers for His Headphones. That's when she heard it.
Thwap.
It only happened once, Clare wasn't sure if she hadn't just imagined it. Blink. Slowly, she walked toward the window, peeking out from behind the curtains. It only took one glance at the long, hunking, car for her to rip open the window. Grin. Her heart sped up a little as she caught sight of the familiar smirk. After a few seconds, caught up in those eyes, she giggled.
"Are you crazy, what are you doing here?" she hissed ineffectively, unable to keep the smile out of her voice. He smiled at her. One of those rare smiles that made her melt. Then he just rolled his eyes, shifting to the other foot. Carefree as always. Clare bit her bottom lip, never so thankful to see someone in her entire life.
"Was in the neighborhood, thought I'd swing by and see if you were up for a drive." He chuckled, softly, his eyes flashing. "How bout it Saint Clare?", He teased. On any other occasion, she would have just rolled her eyes and asked what he was really doing here. But now she just continued to bite her lip.
"Got anything particular in mind?" That made Eli, stone faced Eli, raise an eyebrow in surprise. She smirked, his expression classic. He was about to say anything, his crooked mouth forming some snappy response, when a deafening crash rang from downstairs. Cringe. She looked away, face burning, as Eli's eyes darted to the living room window, understanding in his eyes.
"Ouch, have some faith." Feigning hurt, She couldn't help but smile a little in thanks for not saying anything about that scene. " Hey, let's get outta here. ", her face lit up, grinning widely. Grabbing her purse she chucked it out the window. He caught it, and motioned for her to crawl out. She did so, then froze. Were they really that high up? She felt woozy. She glanced down, seeing Eli.
'I'll Catch you.' he mouthed. She didn't understand why, but she believed him, and right away dropped from the side of the building. His arms wrapped around her, keeping her steady as she regained balance. He laughed.
"Graceful as ever, Miss Edwards" He whispered into her ear as his arms tightened around her. And with that, they walked to the car. They drove off, already in the jumping back into their current war: Vampire fiction. Happy for the light topic, knowing he put up with it for moments like these. Clare didn't even care to ask where they were headed to, because it didn't matter. As long as Eli was there, Everything would work out. Always did.
Take me take me outta here it makes me
Feel so, feel so na na nana na
Baby baby here we all crazy
You don't have to worry na na nana na
