Sorry I didn't update yesterday but I wanted to update today because today is the 2 month anniversary for this story!
Alright so I don't think I could be any happier! 112 reviews! Oh my… I don't even know what to say…. But! 112 reviews means I got to 100 and you know what that means!
So thanks to my 100th reviewer….I will be making a sequel! Now I don't know if that is bad or good. Hopefully good because why are you reading this if it isn't. So once this story is done I will be trying to make a sequel!
I have two new games we can play so read the chapter and read the note at the end! I love you all!
Eli's POV
I knew just the place to take her. I knew she would love it. The drive to her surprise place is an hour. We have already been driving for thirty minutes but I can tell she is getting anxious. She and I haven't talked once since we got into the car which is probably why she shouted,
"Where are we going?" I gave her a questioning gaze before refocusing my attention onto the road. I could tell she was blushing, blushing madly. I chuckle and she smacks my arm.
"Hey, hey! No hitting me while I'm driving! I know it is hard to not touch this body but please try to refrain yourself." I teased. She blushed again. Big surprise there…NOT!
"Shut up and tell me where we're going now." She demanded. I laugh again but still reply,
"It is a surprise." She looked worried. Why is she worried?
"Don't worry. You'll love it." I reassured her.
"Okay?" She said uneasy.
"Please, Clare. It's not like I am taking you to the woods to rape and then murder you." She looked scared now.
"Alright what's going on with you? You aren't yourself."
"Can I ask you something?" She completely ignores my question and asked one of her own.
"Umm, sure but can you answer mine?" I asked politely.
"No." She stated simply.
"Why won't you?" She once again ignored me and went ahead and asked her question. I sighed while I listened to her.
"Why is everything so weird and awkward between us? I mean I get that we're pretending to date and all but it shouldn't affect our friendship." I now understood why she ignored my question.
"Is this why you're acting so weird?" She simply nodded her head in reply.
"Well, let's change that." I say.
"Huh?"
Let's change that it is awkward. So that nothing is weird between us or anything. Just like before." That was a total lie. I don't want to be anything like before. I mean sure I still want her friendship but I also want her to be mine. And when I say that I mean my girlfriend not like…never mind.
"Yes, I agree. We need to change it." She smiles. That is the first time I have seen her real smile in ages. It is nice. More than nice, it is gorgeous. I love her smile because that means she is happy and when she is happy that means that the world has been good to her. We continued to converse unlike the first thirty minutes of the drive. We were talking so much I barely noticed that we were here. I got out of the car and while she was getting herself out of the car I snuck up behind her and covered her eyes with my hands. Let's just say she freaked out.
"Eli! What are you doing? I can't see anything. Get your hands off of my eyes." She screamed while trying to take my hands off of her eyes. It was no use though I was too strong for her weak little hands. I chuckle and say,
"No. I need it to be a surprise when we walk up to it so I need your eyes closed. Clare, trust me." She nods. "Okay I'm going to uncover your eyes but I need you to keep them closed. Can you do that?"
"Yes."
"Are you sure I can trust you?" I tease.
"Yes Eli! Please you can trust me." I laugh at her determination to get me to trust her. What she doesn't know and will never know is that I trust her with my life and nothing will ever change that. I removed my hands from her eyes and just like she said she kept them closed. I took her hand and started pulling her to follow me until she came to a complete stop.
"What now?" I asked her slightly amused.
"I am not walking anywhere with my eyes closed." She replied.
"What did I just say about trusting me? If something is wrong I'll let you know and then you can open your eyes and deal with the problem yourself." I said half jokingly.
"Now hush and follow me." I tell her as I drag her along. I laugh when I hear her whisper,
"Like I have a choice." We walked for a couple minutes until we were in the right spot.
"Okay you can open your eyes now." I say to her. She opens her eyes and her mouth immediately flies open.
Clare's POV
This place was a beautiful meadow with a beautiful waterfall. This place looks very familiar. Then it hit me. My dream! My dream looked just like this. I highly doubt the other part of my dream will happen. Well actually I know it won't but I really wish it would.
"So I take it you like it?" Eli asks. I forgot all about where I was because I was so absorbed in my thoughts.
"It's like a dream." I respond while I look around in awe.
"Whoever knew this place was real." I thought. Or well I thought that I said it in my head but I actually said it out loud.
"Yeah, I know. One day I was wandering and I found it. Beautiful, huh?" He asks.
"Very." I respond.
"So…" He trails off.
"So…" I copy him.
"Look, I'm sorry. The reason I was so upset was because of this." He said while pulling a piece of paper out of his pocket. I gave him a questioning look so he handed me the paper. I unfolded it and gasped when I read what it said.
"How did you get this?" I asked well more like demanded.
"It fell to the floor the day you ran into me. I'm sorry I got so upset." He said. I instantly grew confused.
"Wait! Why were you so upset when you read it?" His face went straight from sympathetic to nervous and scared.
"Umm, well you see." It seemed to me like he was trying to think of an excuse but I wasn't sure.
"Yeah?" I push further. He sighed and said,
"Why didn't you tell me? We are best friends and you didn't even think once to tell me that you are in love with someone? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because I can't."I whisper.
"Why not?" He asked.
"Because." It seemed like whispering is my best friend right now.
"Because why?" He yelled.
"Because I'm afraid of what you'll say when I tell you who I love." I screamed at him. Tears were running down my face like the pouring rain.
"Clare." This time he was the one to whisper.
"No Eli. This was very sweet and it is beautiful here but I want you to just take me home now." I said and started walking back toward the car. He must have followed because the next thing I knew we were in front of my house.
"Clare look." He started but I didn't really want to listen.
"This was a bad idea. Goodbye Eli." I said and then ran inside my house. Only five minutes later did I receive a phone call. I looked at the caller i.d. and of course I answered,
"Hello?"
End of Chapter! Exciting stuff is happening! I know you want Clare to find out soon and she will! Promise but right now I have to games!
Game 1: The first one to guess who called her gets the next chapter dedicated to them! Whoo!
