Author's Note: So, I have a story for you guys. It's completely true too. Last night, I was about to go to sleep, but I decided to check my email on my ipod in case I got any reviews on the new chapter. I saw MarinaElyssa's review and went to bed with a huge smile and dreamt about Eli. :D So, I'm going to try my best to keep writing this story as long as possible. If it completely dies though, I'll give it a big finish and start another Eclare story! It would probably be more of Eli's POV stuff and him being more guarded and mysterious. But for now, I'm continuing with this one. 50 reviews, holy crap. You guys rock. :D
Chapter 20
Eli's POV
Adam, Alli, and I headed to the hospital together. I was in a complete haze. Adam had to drive because I knew I wouldn't be able to. Tears rolled down my cheeks. I tried to be strong; I just couldn't.
"Eli, the hospital didn't make it sound like a dire situation when they called." I think that's what Alli said but I couldn't be sure. I might have been dreaming. I didn't answer because I couldn't talk.
A coma? I don't know much about them, all I know is they are serious. There's no way you can be in a coma and not be really hurt. What was I gonna do with my life without Clare?
Absolutely nothing. My life isn't worth living without her. That sounds so stupid, Eli. What's wrong with you? Jeez. I just want my Blue Eyes to be okay.
Adam's POV
Eli was losing it. Maybe it was because everyone was so unsure about Clare but he was definitely losing it. Clare can't die. There are such things as short comas, right?
Like just a few hours or a day? There has to be. Clare can't be in one of those 4 year long comas. Eli would go bananas.
We got to the hospital and the three of us linked arms. Eli was in the middle. I think Alli and I were both afraid that Eli might fall over or something.
I took the liberty of talking to the lady behind the desk. She was the same lady that was there when Eli was in the hospital, not too long ago.
"Excuse me, is Clare Edwards allowed to have visitors?"
"Well, yes, but you know she's in a coma, right?"
"Yes. We know." Eli flinched at the word 'coma'.
"She's in room 228. Go ahead."
Eli's POV
We got to Clare's room and all looked at her. She had cuts and scrapes everywhere. There was a huge bandage wrapped around her head.
My Blue Eyes. She looks so little and fragile.
Adam and Alli were both crying but walked out of the room. They knew I needed alone time to talk to her. Well, more like talk at her I guess.
"Clare. I'm so sorry that this. That this happened. I know I couldn't have done anything to prevent it, but I'm just so sorry."
I couldn't hold back my tears at all. I bawled my eyes out. I remembered all those years at my old school.
Where I was bullied because I was different. Because I liked the color black. Because I stayed as far away from people as I could. I never cried once. All those names, those horrible names. I built up a wall around myself to hold my feelings in so I would never experience the hurt of losing someone.
I didn't expect Clare to break down that wall so easily. She did it though, and I cried. I cried for her because I wanted her to be okay. I cried for all of those nights where I wouldn't let myself cry, after all of that bullying. I cried for Clare's mom. She was in a bad condition too. I cried for Fitz, because he was so messed up.
I let all of my feelings out right there on the hospital bed with Clare.
I don't know how much time passed of me crying and whispering "I love you, Clare". I'm not religious. Not at all. But I prayed.
God. Please let Clare wake up from her coma. Let her injuries heal as fast as possible. I need her in my life. Let her mom be okay too. She's so important to Clare. Please, God.
"Eli…sorry to bother you but the nurse said visiting hours are over. We have to go. We can come back tomorrow if you want." Yes. Coming back tomorrow would be good. Adam was right, visiting hours were over 15 minutes ago. I guess we had to go.
That night was the longest night of my life.
Alli's POV
Seeing Clare in the hospital was horrible. I hated it. I want her to be okay so badly. She's so nice. She always listens, and she's my best friend.
We all went to the hospital again. Eli looked like a mess; he probably didn't get much sleep. I didn't either. This time, I talked to the lady behind the desk.
"Excuse me, can we see Clare Edwards?"
"Yes, go ahead. By the way, she got out of her coma." No way! Clare Bear's okay! We started to walk up and Eli didn't have any change in his face.
"Eli, didn't you hear her?"
"No…what did she say?"
"CLARE'S AWAKE!"
Eli's POV
I guess that there is a God. My beautiful Blue Eyes is going to be okay. I felt a wave of relief over me. We entered her room and there she was in her hospital bed, smiling.
Author's Note: YAAAY, CLARE'S OKAY! Is her mom gonna be okay though? Hmmmm. I guess you'll have to wait for that one! :D right now, 'Heart Like Mine', both parts, are on, and I started writing this chapter when KC broke up with Clare. And she was so sad. I couldn't help but think DON'T WORRY CLARE, YOU GET A BEAUTIFUL BOY IN THE NEXT SEASON! :D So. Tell me what you thought of the chapter, I think you guys are awesome. I hope that you liked it! I'll have another chapter up very soon guys. :D
