Okay, I know I'm supposed to do Run Devil parts four and five but I honestly am just not in the mood to write those right now. :/
I'm also not continuing my Boys Like Girls "marathon." Most of their songs do not relate to eclare very well.
Song: Need You Now
Artist: Lady Antebellum
I ran upstairs, tears streaming down my face. I ran into my room, slamming and locking the door behind me. I dropped to the floor as I the realization hit me.
My parents are splitting up.
I didn't want to believe it. What would this mean? Would I have to live in two different places? Constantly going back and forth? Would I have to watch my parents fall in love with someone else?
And to top it all off, Eli and I were in the middle of a fight. I honestly don't even remember over what it was. We were arguing over something and it just escalated, until we were both shouting things at each other. Finally, I just left. It's been four days since the fight, and we haven't talked. Not even at school. I wasn't even sure if we were still considered in a relationship. It was so confusing not knowing where our relationship stood.
Tears of frustration and sadness were flowing down my cheeks. I didn't cry very often, and I usually stopped myself whenever I had the urge to. But I didn't care anymore, my life was falling apart and I had no one to turn to anymore.
I laid on the floor, crying, for hours it seemed. Finally, I picked myself off the floor and tore my room apart, looking for my phone. I wasn't mad at Eli anymore. I don't know if he was mad at me still, but I needed to talk to him. I needed to hear his voice. That was the only thing that would hold me together right now.
I called his number. I was slightly nervous as I heard it ringing. I didn't know what I was going to say, I just needed him. Small tears were still trickling down my cheeks. My heart practically stopped when he answered.
"Hello?" he said groggily. I must have woken him up. I quickly glanced over at the clock on the wall. It was 1:15, in the morning.
"Hi." I said softly. "Uh, it's me."
"Um, Clare. It's like 1 A.M."
"I know. I just... I just wanted to talk to you." I said, a little louder then before. My voice sounded thick with tears.
"Um, are you okay?" he asked.
"No." I said, a fresh tear rolled down my cheek. "I miss you. And I'm sorry, I don't even remember why we were fighting in the first place but it was stupid. I was stupid. B-but, I just need you right now. I know you might still be mad but I just wanted to hear your-" he cut me off.
"Clare, you're rambling." he said. I heard the loud roar of Morty's engine in the background.
"I... I'm sorry Eli. Um, why are you out driving at this hour?" I asked, confused.
"I'm sorry too. And I'm on my way to your house." he said.
I couldn't help but smile. "Why?"
"Because you said you needed me. So, I'm on my way."
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
