Chapter 11

Miracle

….

Two bodies moving together under the moon and stars. Her screams of pleasure were addicting. Hands and mouths were getting used to eachother's bodies. He took his time showing her how much loved her. She moaned as he quickened his pace. He knew her body…..every inch. Ecstasy…love….passion.

Eli woke up in the middle of the night, sweat on his forehead. He had never had a dream feel so real to him before. It was as if he was there….. making her his finally. He hadn't been with many girls, but Clare called to him like no other girl. Him and Alli never had sex, he was old fashioned he believed that sex was for someone you truly cared for. He knew for sure Clare was a virgin…he liked that. Closing his eyes, he couldn't wait to see her this morning.

…

Fiona was looking at her phone. She wanted to call Adam. Why couldn't she? Why did have to think about what others said. Can't she make up her own mind? Can't she be happy and have one friend. She wasn't going to stop herself again. Picking up the phone, she called Adam.

….

Eli and Adam decided to take Amelia to the doctor's office. She was suffering with a cough. She told them to let Clare sleep, since she was going through so much. Eli shook his head, It was amazing how Amelia always thought of everyone else.

Before they left, Eli went to Clare's room. He loved looking at her sleep. She was his angel…his beautiful angel.

"I love you Eli." She whispered in her sleep. Eli's heart stopped. She finally said it. It was not his imagination. The three words finally came out.

"I love you too Clare." He kissed her soft pink lips, leaving her behind.

…

Clare woke up touching her lips. She had dreamed she told Eli she loved him. In return he kissed her. If only dreams became reality. She did love Eli but she didn't want to scare him away by telling him.

Was it really love she was feeling? She had never felt like this before…like she could touch the clouds. Being around Eli made everything better. He was opening her heart in more ways than one.

…..

Dave had the best sleep he had had in ages. He was finally starting to move on. Everything was going good. A smile grazed upon his face as he thought of Alli. How could he ever repay her? How could he ever repay them all? Walking over to the refrigerator, he began breakfast.

….

"I see you and Dave are getting closer." Clare examined. Alli blushed, tucking her hair behind her ears.

"We are just friends. We…..get….each other." She bit her lip.

"I can see that….you two do vibe…but I can also see that he is caring and sweet." Clare started cleaning her room.

"He is. I've never met anyone like him before." Alli began helping Clare.

"Let's not forget how cute he is." Clare teased. Alli really blushed.

"Ok….ok…..I do like him, but friends is all we can be right now." Alli said.

…

Adam wanted to jump up with joy when Fiona called him. Though he could not answer it because he was in the doctor's office. He sent her a text explaining. This was the best day of his life.

…..

After they ate breakfast, Clare decided to watch tv. Dave grabbed Alli's wrist before she walked off:

"I want to show you something." Dave said.

"Ok." Alli held his hand as they walked outside to the stables. Dave was surprised when she slipped her hand in his, but he did not let it go. Taking Angel out of the stable, Alli looked at it with awe.

"Wow, he's beautiful." Alli walked up to the white horse. Frightened by her fast movement, the horse began to back up.

"Easy Angel." He grabbed his rein. Alli shrugged. Maybe she wasn't an animal person. Dave smiled grabbing her hand in his palm.

"It's ok. Like this." He brought her hand up to the horse's face showing her the movement. Alli laughed turning her face to look at him. She had this look in her eye. He couldn't describe it. He tilted her chin up staring in her eyes.

"Ummmmmmmmmm…I just wanted to repay you back for everything you did." He got mad at himself for not kissing her. Hoisting her and himself up on the horse, they went for a walk. Alli put her arms around his waist and rested her chin on the crook of his neck.

…

"Do not worry about your grandmother." The doctor reassured the boys. "It is just a minor cold. I am prescribing some antibiotics. She should be good in no time."

Eli and Adam were so happy. Riding in the car, they headed to the pharmacist. Amelia began to knit.

"Guys, please don't tell Lovely, ok." She said.

"But why? She cares for you." Eli said.

"Because she needs to take care of herself. I don't want her to feel as if she is about to lose another parent. From time to time I notice she gets the urge to harm herself. I don't want that to happen."

"….ok we won't tell her." Adam and Eli said.

"If something does happen to me. I want you guys to promise me that you will look after one another, like a family."

"Milly stop talking like that." Adam stated. He knew death was inevitable but it hurt just think about life without her.

….

After getting the prescription, he read the directions. Turning around…not looking up….he bumped into someone.

"We have really got to stop making a habit out of this." Fiona smiled, picking up the Aleve.

"For Amelia I guess?" Fiona smiled.

"Yeah….Glenda?" He pointed to her pills.

"No. I've been suffering mild headaches." Fiona said as Adam frowned.

"I hope you feel better." He hugged her.

"Me too. Call me later?" She asked.

"Sure" He said.

….

Alli knew Dave was into her, but she wanted find a way to open him up. They had all been cooped up in the house. They needed fun. They needed to get their mind off of their worries. The perfect idea came to her… a party. She smiled to herself.

"What are you so giddy about?" Clare finished sweeping the kitchen.

"You…me… Dave…Eli…Adam…party tonight." Alli smiled.

"No way." Clare said.

"Come on. It will be fun. I know this club in town for us called "Above the Dot." It will be fun. You have to fun Clare." She knew Alli was right.

"I don't have anything to wear." Clare finally said.

"Leave it up to me." Alli laughed giddily. What would she do without her new best friend?

…..

Adam helped Amelia up the stairs. Eli rushed to put the pills in the medicine cabinet so Clare wouldn't see him. Luckily she didn't.

"Hey you." She put her arms around his waist.

"Hey." He kissed her taking her outside to the tire swing pushing her.

"I missed you." She said.

"I missed you too, Clare." He stopped the swing, kissing her once again. Someway she found herself out of the tire without breaking the kiss. He straddled her across his lap. Getting caught up, he lifted her shirt up to feel her skin.

"God, do you know how much I love you?" he said.

"…..I love you too Eli." Clare slid his tongue in her mouth. Good thing Milly was watching her stories because she would have broken them up.

"I know." Eli smirked. You talk in your sleep Clare Edward." Clare blushed. How embarrassing?
