Chapter 11: "It was only a kiss, how did it end up like this?"

Nobody's POV

"Clare!" Clare looked up to see Adam and Fiona running towards her. She was sitting in the waiting room of the hospital. Her and Eli had gotten into a car crash, and she was fine. A few minor cuts, but she wasn't worried for her safety, no. It was Eli, he'd been hit brutely.

"Clare, hun, what happend? We got a call from the doctor.." Fiona put her arms around the shaking girl, and Adam took the seat beside Fiona, looking intensely at Clare. "Me and Eli, we were driving, and, a car.." Clare's mind was still distant, making her unable to finish her story.

"Adam!" A woman came running down the hallway, with a man following behind her. Adam stood up and walked over to them. "What happened to Eli?" The man, who Clare suspected was Eli's dad, asked in a panicky voice. Adam patted the woman's arm, and lead her to one of the chairs. " Mr. and Mrs. Goldsworthy, I just got here. Eli was in an accident, that's all we really know."

Mr. Goldsworthy let out a slightly relieved sigh, realizing his son was still alive. "Where was he?" Clare looked up at the man, her eyes getting more watery. "He was with me, sir. Im so sorry, we were hanging out at the park, and he was dropping me off, Im so sorry, I distracted him, it was my fault-" Mrs. Goldsworthy shook her head, and interrupted the younger girl. "No, no, it was an accident, hun. What is your name?" Clare smiled a little at her niceness, and she wiped her tears with the back of her hand.

After Clare learned the names of Eli's parents, which were CeCe and Bullfrog, a doctor walked in. "Mr & Mrs Goldsworthy?" Bullfrog and Cece stood up, taking a few steps towards the doctor. "Eli is going to be fine, just a broken arm, and a couple of scars. He was lucky, it could've been worse. But, he is awake, and you can go visit him now." Eli's parents thanked the doctor, before running down the hall to Eli's room.

After Cece and Bullfrog, Adam and Fiona went to go visit their friend. Then Drew and Dave, who also brought Alli, who agreed to stay with Clare. Clare was the last to see him, she was scared of what she would see, what she would hear. But Alli and Fiona talked to her, and she slowely made her way into the room.

She wanted to cry at the sight infront of her. Eli was sitting on a hospital bed, a cast around his left arm, and cuts covered his smirking face. "Hey, Goldsworthy. How ya feeling?" She smiled at him, and he managed a smile back. "Im just happy it was me, and not you hurt. I would never be able to live with myself if Saint Clare was hurt because of me." Clare giggled, earning a smirk from Eli. She walked over and took a seat in the chair beside the bed. "Do you know when you'll be out of here? We'll have to celebrate!"

"Anything to pop a bottle of champaigne open, eh, Edwards?" Eli rolled his eyes, and turned over slightly. "And I don't know, probably in a day or two." Clare nodded her head. She then remembered the kiss her and Eli shared before the accident. She still wasn't sure how she felt about it, but in a way she sort of enjoyed it. No, Clare, stop! Remember, just friends! "So, Clare," Eli looked down at the tiled floor, choosing his words carefully. But before he could finish, the door was swung open, revealing a worried Natalie.

"Eli!" She ran over to the bed, throwing her arms around him. He freed himself from her grasped, and looked over at Clare, who seemed somewhat disapointed at the presence of Natalie. "Natalie, could you give us a minute?" Eli asked, just hoping the dumb girl would disapear now. Natalie walked out of the room,just as Clare stood up, anger clearly visible on her face."Clare, wait, let me explain about the other night-"

"What is there to explain? Im happy for you and Natalie, and we're just friends, Eli. Remember what you told me? Just Friends, no feelings.." Clare couldn't meet Eli's eyes while saying this, because somehow she knew she had feelings for him, but the chances of him ever feeling the same, were just too low. But why had he kissed her if he was with Natalie?

"Me and Natalie are nothing, Clare.I met her at your birthday party, and yeah we had a one-night thing, but that was one night. But, I then I met you, and I never even thought of calling Natalie again. She was fighting with her boyfriend, so I let her stay in my guest bed. Thats it. And what about the kiss, you can't tell me you didn't feel anything in that, Clare."It was true, she did feel something. Something that she knew she had no control over. Something she never wanted to happen. She felt, for the first time in a while, love. But she couldn't be in love with Eli, they'd just met a few months ago!

Clare finally looked up into Eli's green eyes, the ones she adored so much. "Clare, I'll let you go, if you just tell me, did you feel anything in that kiss?" Clare had to think about this question. She did feel something, but she was afraid of trusting people, to be let down again. "Yeah, I did, Eli. But I'm not sure what kind of feelings they actually were. It's really late, Eli. I'll be back tomorrow morning, have a good night."

Clare wiped a few tears away, and walked across the room. When her hand was on the handle, she heard Eli whisper, almost too soft for her too hear. But she heard him say 'goodnight, Clare..'.
