Song: Breathe (2AM)- Anna Nalick
Yawn. Clare smiled tiredly at the man behind the counter as he handed him the two coffees, continuing to walk them to the corner of the 24 hour caffe, where a Crying Alli was there, spilling her guts and heartache. Clare just sat there, holding her friend. Letting her cry out. She understood. Alli cried about the current heart throb, the apparently unfaithful heart throb. Clare sat and nodded, hoping this time Alli would stay away for good, not sure how much more heartbreak her friend could take.
She knew why, but that didn't make fishing Morty's keys from Eli's pocket any easier on her heart. She knew that Eli's parents made him crazy, But that didn't make her feel less like crying as she coaxed Him into a sitting position, pulling his arm around her shoulder. She knew he had too many scars to count from her fathers anger, and that sure as hell didn't keep her from needing to hug her middle to keep from falling apart as she poured her boyfriends' wasted body into the front of his Hearse.
She loved them both, but they were so lost in their lives. So broken from their journeys that she knew the most she could do is be there to help pick up the pieces.
There's a light at each end of this tunnel, you shout
But you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
These mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
If you only try turning around.
