Hey everyone! Sorry I've been so in and out lately. I'm trying to update more frequently, but things have been busy. Anyways, I'm here now, so here it goes:

Eli's POV:

I was going home in a few days, and I could tell it was starting to get to Clare. I woke up to her crying in the bathroom, and she claimed it was 'allergies' bull shit. I hate making her so upset. But her college acceptance letters should be coming in soon, so I hope and yes, pray that she gets into NYU with me.

But if she doesn't, I am going to try to make our last few days together absolutely wonderful. I am going to hate leaving her, but it must be done. Anyways, Clare really loves when we just spend the day cuddling, so I convinced my parents to be gone for the day so Clare and I could have a movie marathon. I got some of her favorites and some of mine as well. That way she would at least sit in my lap for the scary ones.

Clare came downstairs in my tee shirt and a pair of my boxers. Damn, even with sex hair, she looked unbelievably sexy, "Hey sleepyhead." I say as she comes downstairs.

Clare blushes and smoothes her hair, before fixing mine a bit, "Bite me." She states.

I chuckle as I take a quick nip at her neck, "Eli!"

I give her innocent eyes, "Hey, you asked. Besides, you loved it."

Clare looked down at the ground blushing. When she regained her composure, she looked up, "So what are we doing today?"

I smile at her and take both her hands in mine, "Well I figured we would take a day off, you, me, and all the movies you could ever want?"

Clare smiles, "Sounds perfect."

I chuckle, "Always is."

A little while later, Clare's head was resting on my lap and I was stroking her hair as the movie, "The Last Song" played. I honestly hated it, but Clare loved it, so I just focused on her.

I heard soft snoring and noticed Clare was asleep. She looked so peaceful, and as much as I wanted to turn off the damn movie, she was cuddle up with the remote.

I started to hear her mumbling something, and when I listened closely, I heard her whisper, "Don't go. Please don't go."

Damn I hope she wasn't having a nightmare, or worse, one about me leaving. She kept mumbling, "If you love me, don't leave."

A few minutes later, "I hate when you leave."

A few minutes after that, "Stay, I need you."

A few minutes after that, "Eli, I love you."

"Eli, I love you…..please…." I couldn't take it any more. I shook her whimpering body until she woke up.

"Eli?"

I look in her big blue eyes, she looked sad, "I think you were having a nightmare." I told her.

She nodded and got up, sniffling, "I'll be right back."

Clare ran up the steps, leaving me. I knew she was crying again. How am I supposed to leave in two days with her acting like this? I ran up the stairs to find her. I heard her in the bathroom and I busted down the door, "Clare….." I sigh as I see her curled up on the floor.

She looks up at me, "I'm sorry…" She sniffled.

I sat down on the floor next to her. Clare rested her head on my shoulder as I took a breath, "Clare are you going to be okay when I leave?"

She frowned, but nodded, "I'll be fine. Don't worry about me."

I look at her, "Clare, I can't not worry about you, you're my girlfriend."

"I know. But Eli, you shouldn't have to worry about my stability every time you have to leave. I will miss you, a lot. But, I will get through, and before you know it, we will be together." She says.

I smile and mimic her, "Promise?"

Clare giggles as she wipes her tear stained cheeks, "Promise."

I lazily wrap my arm around her shoulders, "Oh Clare, what am I going to do with you?"

Clare shrugs, "Love me."

I chuckle, "Always will."

We sit there for a few minutes, taking in each other. I will miss her, maybe a little too much. She finally speaks up, "I need a shower."

I nod and get up to walk out, but Clare grabs my wrist. "With company."

I raise an eyebrow, "You little devil." She was too cute.
