Note: Okay, so I decided to do this bonus chapter on Clare's virginity loseage lol :) No one exactly objected to it and one person [EdwardLuver93] even gave me the go ahead. So if you don't want to read this or you're uncomfortable with it, then don't read it. It's fine. Totally understandable. Other than that, Read&&Review lovelies.

Bonus Chapter #1: Ice Cream and Purity Rings

Well…I never expected it to happen so soon. I mean, I was only seventeen. It's my senior year of high school. I was pretty much an adult. But…before I met Eli, I thought I would be like, thirty before I even thought about doing anything like this. But with Eli, it felt right. I smiled at this as I was riding in Morty.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Eli said as he observed my smile.

"It was thinking about bunny rabbits," I say sarcastically. He smirked at me and shook his head before putting his eyes back on the road. He was taking me somewhere…but I didn't know where…of course. But suddenly, the place grew familiar. I still had no idea where I was, but it seemed familiar. When he parked, I finally remembered. It was where we had our first date. My cheeks started to heat up and a smile grew across my face.

"I thought you'd remember," he said smugly.

"How could I not, it was where we had our first date, I'm surprised you remembered," I said as a retort.

"Ouch, Clare, it hurts that you think so low of me," he said as he put his hand over his heart. I rolled my eyes at the sarcasm. We got out of the hearse and sat in the same spots that we were the first time. The buildings twinkled just as they had before. I snuggled up close to Eli as we looked at the lights.

"Oh, I almost forgot," Eli said as he walked to the back of the hearse. He pulled out Ben & Jerry's 'Mint Chocolate Chunk' ice cream. I started to laugh.

"You remembered?"

"Clare, come on. Why would I forget? Again with that 'thinking-low-of-me' thing," he said with a smile.

"Sorry," I say as I blush. He hands me a spoon and we start digging in. It was like an exact reenactment of our first date. Though I was quite happy, the thoughts of things to come kind of got me nervous. Eli noticed the silence.

"Clare…if you don't want to do this, we don't have to," he said quietly.

"How did you know I was-,"

"It was written all over your face," he whispered. I scoffed.

"It's not that I don't want to…it's just…I can't stop thinking about it. You know?" I say as I look out at the nightlife.

"Are you scared?"

"No…not exactly…I guess…yes," I finally admit. Eli starts to laugh.

"Nice of you to come clean, Blue Eyes. Look, I don't want to do anything to hurt you." He said sincerely. I looked up at him.

"You could never hurt me, Eli," I say quietly. He smirks and gives me a kiss on my forehead. "Well…are you scared?"

"Me? No…of course not. I'm not scared of anything," he says nervously. I give him a 'you-are-so-lying' look. "Maybe just a little," he finally admitted.

"Awwww," I say.

"Shut it, Blue Eyes," Eli says sarcastically.

"Make me," I say defiantly. I should've kept my mouth closed because right then he started tickling me. I hate when he does that!

"Okay! Okay! I surrender!" I yell through laughs as I try to break free. I feel him grab my wrists. I don't know why, but I always liked when he did that. Everything calms down as he stares into my eyes. This means I have to stare back into his…his clear green eyes are like magnets to mine.

"Are you positive you want to do this?" he whispers.

"Yes…I trust you, Eli," I whisper back. He lets go of my wrists and gently strokes my cheeks.

"You ready to go?" he asked nervously.

"As ready as I'll ever be," I say with a slight smile. We hop off the hood of Morty and we start our drive back to Eli's house. My heart is beating out my chest throughout the whole car ride. I start biting my lip, almost to the point where I break the skin. As we park, I snap back to reality. Eli climbs out of his side and walks over to my side. He opens the passenger door and when I get out, he plants a gentle kiss on my lips. This is my cue to melt into a puddle of bliss. When our lips separate, I giggle at the thought and the kiss. I feel so Catholic school girl right now. He grabs my hand and we walk through the door and downstairs to his room. I think my legs have officially gone numb. My breathing starts to hitch as we enter his room. I sit on his bed to get myself together. I look down at the floor. Eli sits down next to me. After a little bit of silence…

"Clare?"

"Uh…yeah?" I ask quietly.

"I love you…a lot," he says as he looks at the wall in front of him. I giggle softly.

"I love you, too Eli," I say back as I finally have the guts to look at him. He grabs my hand and looks at my ring.

"Well, St. Clare, are you ready to let go?"

"Yeah…I am," I say self assuredly. He gently slides off my ring and observes it for a few seconds. He hands it to me. I look at it and without thinking, I throw it at the wall. I start to smile and then laugh. It feels like a weight has been lifted off of me. He looks at me with a smile on his face. He grabs my face and starts to passionately kiss me. Then he stops and stands up.

"Never have I ever loved anyone in this room," he says suddenly. I was a bit confused, but as he starts to take off an item of clothing, I realize what he's doing.

"What are you doing?" I say with a laugh.

"Trying to make it more…comfortable," he says smugly as he moves his eyebrows up and down suggestively. He takes off his black tie…and I follow suit, taking off my cross necklace. "Your turn."

"Never have I ever…kissed anyone in the room," I say back. His shoes come off and so do mine.

"Never have I ever…driven a hearse," he says as he pulls off his shirt to reveal his black undershirt. This boy is too good-looking for his own good. I take off my jacket as I remember the time he taught me how to drive in Morty.

"Never have I ever had a cute English partner," I say as I take off my bangle. He pulls off his black and white striped belt. Is it getting hot in here or is it just me? He starts to walk closer to me.

"Never have I ever…had a best friend who has sexted," he says suggestively. I knew he wouldn't have to pull anything off.

"Hey that's not fair!" I whine. He motions to me to take my dress off as he raises one eyebrow. I look down. I wasn't uncomfortable with my body usually, but this was different and I was more self conscious then usual. I cross my arms as I look out the window with an exasperated look on my face.

"Clare…you're beautiful," he whispers. "Either you do it…or I will." I blush and I feel a small smile tug at my lips.

"Fine," I stand up and slowly take it off. I've never been this close to naked in front of a guy before, actually…anyone for that matter. I keep looking out the window and cross my arms in order to keep from looking at his expression. He walks up to me and slowly turns my head towards him. I see his signature smirk. I blush, like always, and look down at the floor. He takes my hand and leads me to his bed. Well…this is it.

The Next Morning

I slowly wake up…this is first time in a long time I've waken up with a smile on my face. I wake up to find me laying my head on his bare chest with his arms around me. I feel…safe. I slowly slide out of his grasp and walk to find something to cover up with. I end up finding a towel and as I walk to the bathroom, I look to see my reflection in a full body mirror. I walk up to it and examine myself. I look at the messy hair and faded lip gloss. I'm still Clare, I'm just a girl that let my inhibitions go for once in my life. I felt…good about myself. I never thought I would feel this way after doing this with someone I wasn't married to. Though, painful…it was beautiful. It was with someone I loved. I smiled at the thought and I heard Eli waking up. I turn around to look at him.

"Morning," he says with a smirk. He should walk out of the house with a bedhead more often.

"Morning," I say back.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah…are you okay?" I ask with a smile. He chuckles.

"Of course I'm okay," he says as he pulls his pajama pants on. He walks over to me and puts his arms around me from behind and rests his chin on my shoulder. Pure Hearts Wait alright…for the one.

Note: That was Bonus Chapter Number One. Hope you liked it. And no I'm not condoning teenage sex or whatever. It's your choice to do it if you want to. Just a warning to all the Super Christians out there who are ready to call me a "heathen" lol
