Hey everyone! So I am excited to inform you guys that I will be posting new stories next week! But that also means the ending of stories, so please don't hate me. I will be ending I Think I Want To Marry You, and Baby Anyone, which will have a sequel. But the squeal is not what I'm talking about, that will go up in two weeks probably. Hopefully two new stories will go up next week, maybe one depending on my time. I really hope you guys like this story, and please review because I am ten away from 70! So let's get there, shall we? I love you guys!
Eli's POV:
My mom has serious problems! She busts in the door and Clare screams. My mom laughs, "Do you kids want dinner?"
At least we are under the covers. Clare buries her face in my chest. I chuckle and rub her bare back, "Sure mom, we'll be down in a few minutes."
My mom nodded, "Hurry up and get dressed before it gets cold."
When my mom shuts the door, I see Clare's big blue eyes look up at me, "That was so embarrassing; your mom probably thinks I'm a slut."
Clare looks sad and I pull her face up to meet my eyes, "Clare. You. Are. Not. A. Slut. Okay?"
She nodded, "Okay. I'm sorry, I'm just embarrassed."
I shook my head, "I promise I'll get a lock."

Clare and I shuffled downstairs a few minutes later, fresh and clean. Clare was still the color of a tomato, but no one said anything about it. We sat down and just when I thought we were safe, Bullfrog attacks, "You kids need to calm down in that shower, its old, it might break."
Clare looks down at her plate and I kick my dad under the table, "Hey, let's talk about this later." I give him the death glare as he chuckles.
Cece looks at Clare, "Clare dear, how are your parents? We haven't talked to them in a long time."
I saw Clare's embarrassed grin drop to an on the verge of tears frown. But she was still so kind, "Things at home are a little rough right now."
Cece gave her a sympathetic smile, "Honey if you ever need a place to stay, our house is open."
Clare's frown went back to a smile, "Thank you."
"Anytime."

After dinner was over, Clare and I did some homework, but we quickly got tired. I changed into my boxers and Clare stripped into one of my shirts and her panties. We cuddled up in bed and I switched the lights off.
I was starting to fall asleep when I felt a vibration on my chest. I looked down to see tears streaming down Clare's angel face. She looked up and saw my staring at her. Clare sniffled, "Sorry. I'm sorry."
Before I could say anything, Clare hopped off the bed and ran to my bathroom, locking the door behind her. I pounded on the door, "Clare, open the door."
"Please Eli, go ahead and go to sleep. I'll be fine." Her voice broke as she talked.
I needed to be with her. I started pounding on the door until she finally gave in. I heard the door lock and I saw Clare sitting on the counter dabbing her eyes with a tissue.
I hoped up on the counter with her and wrapped my arms around her, "Baby what's wrong?"
She pressed her tear stained face in my shoulder, "You have such a nice family, and mines just … a screwed up mess …"
I held her tighter, "Baby please don't worry about that. I'm willing to share my family, please just don't cry."
Clare nodded but her tears still fell. I wiped her eyes and kiss a few tears from her jaw, "I'm sorry Eli. I just freaked out, I'm so sorry."
I shook my head, "We all have our days. I hate it when you cry, you never should be sad."
Clare slightly, "Let's go to bed."
I nod and hop of the counter and help Clare down by her waist. She took my hand and we walked back to the bed. I pulled back the covers and gestured for Clare to crawl under. She did and I followed in suit.
We re-cuddled up but this time Clare was tear free. I kissed her hair softly and started to drift off until Clare's phone started ringing. She again, hoped out of bed to answer. She came back to bed with her phone on speaker phone, "Hello Ms. Edwards, its officer Riley. We have some news on the disappearance of John Tyler. He has been located and taken into holding. The trail is next week, so please call us back so we can give you the information. Have a nice day."
