"Are you alright?"

I didn't want her feel like I was pushing her into this, by any means. She sat down, looking every where but at me, and I needed to know what was up.

"Clare, don't feel like you have to do this, I understand." She looked at me, like she was searching for something, but sighed in defeat.

"Why are you like this Eli?" I was so confused, what did I do?

"What? What did I do?"

"THAT! ELI THAT! Why can't you not be so nice and caring about everything? I mean, I don't understand why I feel this way about you at all." I sighed, and chuckled a little.

CLARE POV

"Eli, it's just when ever I'm around you, it's like I lose my self control, and I forget about everything, I just don't understand it!" I looked at him again, searching for my answer, but to no avail. I just leaned in and kissed him, hard. At first he was hesitant, but I didn't want him to be so gentle, I wanted him to kiss me like he means it.

"What was that for?" he asked me, with a cute little smile on his lips.

"I want to take advantage of this feeling Eli. When I'm with you, I feel so normal, I just, I want to be with you all the time, because you make me happy!"

Eli POV

I made her happy. I, Elijah Goldsworthy, made her happy. It made me happy to make her happy.

"Well Ms. Edwards, I am glad to be of assistance." She smiled so huge, and then she started crying, I was worried again.

"What's wrong?" she shook her head, still crying.

"I've never been this happy before, with anyone not even Lucas, but you cannot tell him that."

I smiled back at her, and then her phone went off.

CLARE POV

Clare, meet me at the Dot, its IMPORDANTE! –Lucas.

I smiled, he always used Spanish, and it was cute.

"I have to go to the Dot, and meet Lucas." He smiled at me, and we went to his car. He dropped me off at the Dot, and when I walked in, I saw Lucas bugging out.

"Lucas, chill, what's wrong?"

"NO, nothings wrong, everything is just, it's great." I was confused now.

"What?"

"I went to football practice, and I was of course thinking of Drew, until this new kid walked in, he was so, so, SO cute!" I waited, knowing he wasn't done.

"So, we were changing, and people were making rude comments about him being gay, and I was ecstatic. I was telling them to stop, because it's okay to be gay, and they were like. What are you gay or something? And let me tell you, I was so pissed, that I said, YES I'M GAY, IS THAT OKAY WITH YOU?" I was so shocked, he finally told!

I started crying happy tears again, and he came over to my side of the table and hugged me.

"Lucas, I am so proud of you, you have no idea how happy I am for you!" Just as he was about to say something, this guy walked in, super sexy, and Lucas got wide eyed? He smiled a sexy ass smile, and came to sit next to us.

"Hi, I'm Zane. I just wanted to say thanks for sticking up for me today. It means a lot." Lucas smiled like a damn fool.

"It was no problem, it feels so great having people know, I don't feel like I'm living a lie anymore." He smiled again.

"I'm proud of you; it usually takes more for someone to come out, than standing up for another person. I'd like to pay you back for it, here's my number call me anytime." I squealed, and he sent me a look of embarrassment.

"Sorry," the guy, took my hand and kissed it, it was so cute, he was such a Casanova, only for the guys, I blushed, and nodded my head as he walked away.

"So, he is a definite keeper!" I jumped up and down and clapped, and he blushed in embarrassment.

"Only, how will I tell my family?"

"I'll go with you, its okay." He smiled at me, as we walked over to his house. We purposefully walked the long way, and stopped for a drink twice; knowing what was waiting at the end of this journey.

"I think I have to use the restroom." I sighed, and gave him a look, telling him that I clearly, knew he didn't. When we got to his house, we slowly walked into the living room.

"Guys, we need to talk." He said looking over at all his family.

He started to tear up, and I whipped them from his cheeks.

"I'm, I'm gay." He said, with his voice breaking at the end.

"We know. I'm just glad you told us." I smiled widely at his mother, and from then on, I knew everything was going to be alright.
