I'm just going to get this over with :) CHAPTER 20!
Eli's POV:
I met Reese up at the end of the sidewalk. He met close enough, a little to close. My fist tightened when he began to speak. His hands kept having spasms, he settled his hands into his pocket.
"Eli I love Clare. I know I was close to rapping her but she's just so damn cute. I just wanted it." I cringed. I knew what he meant by it. He wanted Clare's virginity. Slowly I turned around, if I had stayed anymore I would be close to knocking his teeth out. Reese grabbed my and I reacted by pulling away quick. "Don't. Touch. Me. Or Clare." I said in a low, growl like voice. He laughed, he proceeded to grab my arm and pull me in the ally. I saw it right then and there. He pulled out a pocket knife and started swinging it at me. I managed to dodge until he hit it into me. The pain hurt, I was feeling weak. Reese jerked it out. He stared at his hands. The knife was dripping in blood. His grip let go of the knife. I looked at my shirt, stained with blood. I was able to get up. Still limping, Reese ran off. Great he absolutely wanted me to die. A woman in her twenties or thirties spotted me as I was reaching for the handle of Morty. She rushed over and saw my stomach dripping in blood. How? How was I still alive?
Clare's POV:
My eyes were stinging with tears. I got a call that Eli had been stabbed. He was in surgery now. Who would want to do this to him? It couldn't have been Fitz. I stared at the scars on my wrist. Tears were pouring now. My laptop was blasting with music. I tried to breathe in and out but I couldn't.
What if Eli didn't make it? Who could have done it? Was Eli going to be alright?
Thoughts were racing in my mind when I felt my lungs tighten. I couldn't breathe at all. My hand met with my forehead, it was sweaty. My cheeks were wet from thousands of tears dripping, drip by drip down my cheek. I tried to relax on my bed but still. Was I hyperventilating? Then I remembered my diagnosis this summer. I went to the therapist cause I had been getting sick feelings in my stomach and a little moody. He had said I have anxiety. Anxiety in which causes stress, panic attacks, lots of other things. I realized I was having a panic attack. My thoughts focused on the song.
Its just a drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
Its like wishing for rain as i stand in the desert
But i'm holding you closer than most,
Cause you are my heaven.
I cried harder. The song only made me think of Eli. On the phone they said he would be out of surgery around 4, it was 2 O' clock. My thoughts focused on who did it. I settled on one guess that I was positive about.
Reese.
*At The Hospital*
My feet were shuffling, fast. I slammed into the nurse's desk. She looked up. I smiled pleasantly.
"Hi I'm looking for Eli Goldsworthy." I asked.
She grabbed her binder and slammed it on the counter. Her finger slid down the page look for the G section. Her finger tapped, "Room G-4." I was about to run as fast as I could to the room when the nurse caught my hand, "He'll be fine." She assured me. I smiled knowing I would see Eli lying in the bed comfortable and healthy. I walked past G-2 and started shuffling my feet again. I went into G-4 closing the door quietly behind me. I smiled when I saw Eli's face. His face grew brighter every time I got closer to him. I brushed my hand over his hair and kissed his lips. I noticed a woman smiling at us. Who the hell was she?
Yeah cliff cliff hanger :) Anyways. The song was 'A Drop in the Ocean-Ryan Pope' I absolutely love this song. It will be on my profile as with the other songs. For those who are wondering how I got to explain Clare's panic attack so well, I have had one before so I know what they feel like and it seems like Clare could have one. Thanks to my readers and reviewers! R&R!
