SUMMER NIGHTS-CHAPTER 10
CLARE'S PROSPECTIVE
Eli's words sent me over the edge and tears escaped my eyes. His chest was heaving from screaming without stopping. "I came back here forever, to be with you. My doctor convinced my mom that moving back here would possibly ease my mind, and get me better…But, I don't think that it's the cure." He went towards the door and I closed it moving in front of it. Eli looked at me with tears filling his eyes. "Clare, move out of the way or I am going to ram the door down with you under it." I gulped and said, "I can't leave James, I can't leave him until I know that…" Eli looked down at me and asked, "What do I have to do Clare? What do I have to do to get you into my life again?" Eli went down on his knees and his hands in a praying position looking up at me. "I'm begging you Clare; I'll do anything…Please." I blushed ten different colors of red. "Eli, I need to know that when I need you, you'll be there for me. I need to know when I can't stop crying you'll be there to hold me." Eli got up smirking and said, "I'll be around you so much you'll be sick of me." Eli smiled and was about to kiss me and I ducked underneath him smiling as he turned to face me. "I love you Clare Edwards…" He playfully tackled me to the ground and pinned my wrists down to my eye's length. I smiled and said, "You can kiss me Eli…" He smirked and said, "Will do…" He leaned down our lips inches away when the doorbell rung, "Shit," I mumbled pushing Eli away.
"It's James, what do I do?" I asked him. "Break up with him Clare." I nodded and said, "Go in the closet." He smiled, "Yeah, thanks." I laughed making sure he was in the closet before opening the door facing James. "Hey baby," he said kissing me on the cheek. I asked, "Why are you here? Was basketball let out early?" He smiled sitting on my couch and said, "No, I have to go back. But, I decided to come to my girlfriend's house to spend some private time alone…" He always came back between sports to have sex, which I didn't mind at first but Eli was here. I sat next to James and he leaned in to kiss me. I stopped him and said, "I need to talk to you James." He looked at me confused knowing we were on good terms together. "Was it something I did? You aren't pregnant are you?" He got up like he was inching towards the door. "No, James I'm not pregnant but I know if I was you would walk right out the fucking door." I hated swearing, but in this position I was in, I think God would forgive me. "Clare, I wouldn't leave you. I would never leave you, you're the best thing I have ever done in my life. You're the only one for me, and I'm the only one for you, right?" I heard a cough in the closet. Shut the hell up Eli! I coughed and said, "Um…" James said, "I love you Clare." That was the first time he told me this, he told me he loved me…
I shook my head letting the tears fall from my eyes. I started backing up against the door and he inched closer letting his body press up against me. "Clare, I love you. You know that I can make you happy…" His hand trailed down my arm as he pulled at the bottom of my shirt. "I can make you so happy Clare…" he whispered in my ear. I can feel Eli's heart breaking. "I have to break up with you James." I said. He looked at me and smiled, "You're so funny Clare…" His cold hand traveled to the waist band of my shorts. I grabbed it and said, "Stop it James, we're done. I mean it." His hand traveled up to my breast groping me. "Come on Clare, you know you can't resist me…" I gulped and tried pushing him away. "Stop…" I whispered. My fists weren't up for fighting, and I couldn't pull him away with the force he pushed me up against the door. "You know you can't live without me Clare…" I needed to be strong and let him go. I needed to let him go like I let Eli go.
"Don't touch me!" I screeched pushing him as hard as I could away from me. I started shaking from looking at the hurt in his eyes. "Clare, do you think you could break up with me and get away with it? We break up when I say we break up." Eli was right, he was right, animals like him never change. He played me, again. How could I be so stupid? "Eli was right…" I whispered as James gripped my wrist. "Come on Clare, let's go. Get down on your knees…" I laughed and said, "No." When I let that word escape my lips I felt, free. He slammed my body down as my knees hit the ground. I looked up at James, for the last time. I laughed looking up at him and down at my hands that were shaking. He grabbed the back of my head, gripping my hair in a painful grip as he started to un buckle his pants. I placed my hands on his thighs trying to pull away. "I think that's enough." I heard Eli say. I told him to stay in the fucking closet! James is going to kill him! "Who is he?" James asked gripping me by my hair pulling me up on my feet. "I'm Eli. Now, would you be so kind as to let my girlfriend go." Oh Eli, stop playing games.
James laughed and said, "You chose him over me, oh Clare you are too naïve." I closed my eyes feeling the pain in my head increase as he gripped my curls. "Let her go." Eli ordered him in a harsh tone. "Listen Emo boy, Clare is mine, and she will always be mine. Clare and I have a little business to get done. Then, she's yours for the rest of the night." Eli smiled and said, "I kind of want to reserve her for the rest of my life. Is that okay with you?" Eli's fists started clenching as he gripped my hair tighter in his fist. "Please…James let me go. I can't, breathe…" My air ways were starting to close up and my face was beat red from the blood rushing to my head. "Please…" I begged. Eli said, "You heard her." James laughed and said, "Clare, I think you should show Emo boy to the door." The second he let go of my head I dropped to the floor and Eli tackled James to the ground. "Next time learn to keep your pants on." Eli growled punching him in the lower stomach. "Eli, get off him!" I screamed clawing Eli off of James as he still threw punches at him. "Clare, you know I thought you were worth it, but I guess I got too caught up in the blow jobs I guess." How could I be so stupid? The man I fell in love with only used me for sex. "Well, that's the last blow job you'll ever get." Eli said grabbing him by the head and smashing his body to the ground.
James got up gasping for air and said, "Call me when you need a good time." I smiled sarcastically and tilted my head, "Goodbye James." He walked out the door mumbling something that I chose to ignore. I looked back at Eli and I said, "Thank you so much Eli…" Eli nodded and said, "I would have done that even if we weren't together. He deserved it." I smiled and asked, "Where were we?" I smirked wrapping my arms around his neck and said, "Right about here…" He smirked, "I think so…" I leaned in feeling our lips collide and the butterflies escape in my stomach. Eli gently placed his arms around my waist. I felt protected, secure, and most importantly loved. I haven't felt this way in a long time, and Eli made it happen. I pulled away gasping for air. Eli smiled, "Sorry." I said, "No, thank you Eli, for being…you." He smirked gently stroking his hands through my curly hair. Eli asked, "Do you want to…go down to the beach? The sun in almost setting, I'm sure it would be pretty beautiful out there. Not that I don't need what I don't have right here…" I smiled and said, "Let's go."
We walked outside closing the door behind us. I felt a world of opportunities open up when I stepped out of that door holding Eli's hand. We walked hand in hand walking down to "our" spot. I looked near our spot and saw a picnic blanket out. It had a rose in the middle of it, and four candles lit at the corners of the blanket. "Eli…How did you?" I was at a loss for words. I never had any man do this for me. James never got me flowers, he never treated me the way Eli did now that I analyze the situation. I smiled as I started crying. "I'm sorry I did this, are you allergic or something?" I shook my head as Eli walked closer to me. "I'm just so…happy." He nodded kissing my forehead. "I'm here for you Clare, and I am never going to leave you again." Eli handed me the rose as I played with it letting the texture brush up against my fingers. I sat down leaning on Eli at the front of our blanket. The sun was setting as Eli wrapped his arm around my waist. "You know Clare, leaving you was the worst thing I could have ever done, or choose. When I saw you walk down that hallway in the hospital I knew I had to get you back. I knew that no matter how long it took I needed to get back right here. Right where we are now," he told me kissing me chastely on the lips.
Eli lay on his back and I joined him leaning my head on his chest listening to his heart beat race. "You know I love you so much…" Eli whispered. I smiled laughing and said, "I hope so." He sat up making me sit up and looked me in the eyes. "Clare, I am so in love with you my heart starts hurting. I can't feel even feel my body. I love you Clare, I love you Clare Edwards." I smiled leaning in to kiss him as he pulled me into his lap. I felt relaxed as he rubbed my back. James was always rough with me and he never gave me time to breathe. But, Eli let me lead and he wasn't cocky about it. He relaxed my heart beat and made me feel good. I loved Eli, from the bottom of my heart. "I love you…" I whispered. I pulled away and Eli smirked. I closed my eyes interlocking my hands with his and thought back to those Summer Nights we spent together….
