A/n: So I was thinking about changing Lillian's age to about 4 or something, and then make Eli 17, I figured that I could write her into more of my chapters if she was older. Tell me what you think about that!

Eli POV:

Lilly and I came back from the park with Clare. I was exhausted from chasing Lilly around for about an hour.

"Okay kiddo, go hop in the tub," I said letting Lillian off of my back. "Kay, no more piggy back rides."

"All right, but why can't I take a shower?"

"Because the last time I let you take a shower, you slipped and fell, so until you become more coordinated, you're taking baths. Know get your but upstairs," I said pointing toward the staircase.

She rolled her eyes and stuck her tongue out at me then trudged up the stairs to the bathroom. That reminded me of how much of my attitude she really had. For God sakes, she's only one and a half and I swear she has a mental age of a 15 year old. I went into the kitchen where my mom was cooking.

"Oh hi honey," she said.

"Hey ma I was thinking and I think I should get my own….apartment." I say shyly.

"What! You're only 16,"

"And a half," I smirked.

"I don't know Elijah…how are you going to pay for it?"

"Well, my real dad has been putting money on a card for me since I was ten, haven't spent a dime of it, I just never told you." I said.

"Oh, well, how much do you have now?"

"About 15,000."

"Wow, your father….."

"Don't start mom"

"Well if it's what you really want, then I'll co-sign on anything you need. Have you started looking yet?"

"Yea, I actually found this apartment right down the street, its gorgeous, it has three bedrooms, two baths, and it's perfect for Lilly and me, and Louisa if she wants."

"What about Louisa?" Louisa came into the room.

"Eli and I were just talking about how he found a three room apartment for him and Lilly and possibly you if you wanted." My mom said.

"Oh sweet!"

"I'll take that as a yes?" I said.

She nodded her head and left.

"DADDY!" I heard Lilly scream.

I ran up the stairs as fast as I could. I couldn't help but expect the worse. I went to her room; she was on the floor lying on her back. She was so pale, it was too unnatural. She must have screamed before she passed out. Question is what the hell happened? There was a nagging feeling in the back of my head, like I was forgetting something.

"Louisa, call 911!" I yelled.

"What for?" She said as she came into the room. "Oh, my God…." She said quietly as she knelt beside Lilly and I.

She pulled out her phone and started dialing. At that moment I realized something. I took the phone from Louisa and hung up.

"What the hell are you doing?" She yelled at me.

"She's fine…..she just needs her insulin…." I said walking over to Lilly's suitcase and pulled out a syringe and a bottle of insulin.

"I didn't know she had diabetes."

"She was recently diagnosed with it, it's still taking me time to get used to it. This will never happen again. When I walked in this room, I honestly thought she was dead." I said as a tear formed in the corner of my eye.

A/n: Sooooo, tell me what you thought!
