Chapter Nine
"You're My Only Exception"

That Night, at 10 PM.

I stood outside of the Dot

Waiting for Clare to arrive.

I had asked Clare to meet me here, and she agreed.

Suddenly, I saw her walking towards me.

I grew nervous.

I knew she'd be mad about me mouthing off to her parents.

"Eli." She greeted me, quietly.

"Clare listen.. I'm really sorry. It's just- you know I have a bad temper. I can't take people who judge me for my appearance. I know I fucked up, and I regret it." I apologized, she stood there, with her arms crossed.

"After you left, I was yelled at for about two hours." She said, making me guilty. "They were going on and on about how disrespectful and how bad of an influence you are." She informed me.

"I'm really sorry. I know your mad-" I told her, but then she interrupted me.

"I'm beyond that Eli! I know they were being assholes, but I've told you before that what my parents think means a lot to me! If my parents don't like someone- I make sure I stay away from that person. Any boy that my parents disapproved of.. I left." She told me "But Eli.. Your my only exception."

I couldn't help but smile, as did she.

"So, we're still together?" I asked, excitedly.

She nodded, and I hugged her, and lifted her off the ground.

Clare and I walked, hand in hand, down random streets.

"Now tell me how this entire thing went down." I demanded, desperately begging for details of how Clare had broke her parent's hearts.

I personally found it hilarious that Clare had finally stuck up to her controlling bitchy parents,

And it was a major plus that she stood up to them, because of me.

"Well, they were ranting about how bad of an influence and boyfriend you are. Once they mentioned how I was 'forbidden to see you ever again' I went off. I was yelling for five minutes about how it was my life and I didn't care if they liked it or not- I was going to do what I wanted, when I wanted to. I then stormed out, and now I'm here." She explained.

"Badass Edwards." I replied, joking with her.

She laughed and jokingly pushed me.

"Goldsworthy, I really need to get home. I've mentally prepared myself for the huge argument that's going to occur, and I really want to get it over with."

"Alright, I'll walk you home."

After walking Clare home, I arrived at my own house.

I layed in my bed, staring at the ceiling.

My life was messy. It was unexplainable.

I had the most beautiful girlfriend- Clare Edwards

Her parents hated me.

Then there's that whole Fitz situation,

Lucky enough for me- He hadn't made any contact with me..

I'm guessing that the war's over- I could only hope.

It wasn't that I was scared of Fitz- trust me I'm NOT at all.

But the way it made Clare despise me, was terrible.

She hated me physically fighting and 'pranking' some one.

She thought that it made me less 'attractive', and immature.

A shorter explanation of this situation would be-

If Fitz were to mess with me, I'd fight back- But if the two of us aren't communicating, then I'd stay away from him.

I only was attempting to stay out of Fitz way, because of Clare.

I did a lot of things for Clare..

I care about her, more then words can explain.

I feel like a wimp when I talk about her though.

I have this image-

My image is that I don't care about school or any thing else, I'm a smartass, and I use girls.

Trust me- One and Two were true.

I am a smartass, and I don't care about school or any thing else..

But I do care about some one.

And I believe it's clearly obvious that I care about Clare.

But the 'I use girls' thing isn't true,

I've never done any thing with a girl unless I was dating her.

I would never force any thing on Clare.

I respect Clare.

More then any one in the world.
