Chapter Thirty Five
"And The Worst Part Is - There's No One Else To Blame"
"I'll see you tomorrow." Clare told me as she walked out my front door, some where along the time of 8 PM.
"You sure you don't want me to drive you home?" I asked, I felt bad making her ride her bike.
"I have my bike; it's fine. Don't worry." She reassured me, with a smile.
"Well, text me when you get home then." I sounded like a parent..
"Alright, dad." Of course she thought the same thing.
I smiled and kissed her forehead "Bye" we both softly said, as she closed the front door.
I walked in to the kitchen and took notice to my mother, sitting at the table- who wasn't drunk.. For once.
"Why you sober?" I asked. I know, it was kind of harsh- but I really was kind of 'worried'.
"Your father's coming over to discuss some last few things about how I'm going to visit and such." She answered.
I sat down at the table, across from my mother.
"Mom. Please, help me out on this." I stated; begging for help.
"Eli. I lost the battle. Don't make me feel worse." She responded.
"Did you see the girl that just walked out of this house?" I asked.
"Yeah."
"I've known her for like six months now.. And I'm so in love with her." I told her. "I can't leave her behind."
"There's nothing I can do. Eli. I know you might love that girl, but one girl isn't going to change your father's mind."
"Then what will?" I asked, needing suggestions - some sort of an idea.
"Nothing at this point."
Once my mother said that, the front door opened- and my dad put his head inside the house; I'm guessing he was checking to see if he could come in.
A knock on the door could of worked too, asshole..
"Can I come in?" He asked. I couldn't help but roll my eyes, just seeing my father's face made me sick.
My mother nodded and my dad entered the house. He then made his way to the kitchen and sat down in the empty chair next to me and my mom.
"So, how would you like to plan this visiting thing?" My father asked.
My mother's mouth opened to speak, but I cut her off.
"Well.. I'm going to drive up here, at least once a week- to visit Clare and my mom." I responded; talking in a very confident tone.
My dad didn't seem to like it- "No, your not."
"And why is that, dad?" I asked- He had only been here for a minute and I already wanted to punch him out.
"Your hearse is staying here.. There's no way I'm allowing you to creep the whole town out with your car."
"Your taking my mom, my girlfriend, my school, and my friends away from me! And now my car?" I responded; in a very angry voice.
"Eli. I'm trying to have a conversation with your mother. Can you please calm down or leave. We don't need your childish games." He stated - treating me like a child..
"No. Right now- you and I are going to have a little conversation." I responded. I've never been this rude to my dad.. "I have the most amazing life here. I've got great friends, good grades, an amazing mother, and the love of my life here." I explained to him "I've finally found some one in my life that makes me such a better person. I'm finally over Julia, and I can finally smile again. I'd like to see you try to take this all away from me." I told him "Because for now on- I refuse to leave. I will not leave Clare. "
"No Eli - you will do whatever the hell I tell you to do!" My dad snapped. "You are coming to live with me- and you'll be attending a private school." He informed me.
Fuck no.
"Not a chance in hell." I responded.
"There's a chance.. Trust me."
"I will honestly move out of this house - and make sure that you can never find me again." I warned him.
"And go where, Eli? You've got no job - no where to go." He reminded me.
"I've got friends- I know places, dad. Don't think I'm scared to leave." I replied.
"I know your not scared to leave- but I know you won't. Your a child, Eli. You believe that every thing will turn out the way you want- well that's not how life works. You have to do things you don't like some times. And for your girlfriend- you two are in high school. She doesn't love you. And you two aren't going to end up together."
"Fuck you." I stated before getting up from the table and walking up the stairs- to my room.
I hated that man.
It was 10 PM- and I was still pissed about what had happened before.
"I need to meet up with you." I texted Clare.
"Where, and why?" She replied
"I'll meet you at the end of your block- and it's the whole moving situation."
"Alright. Be there in five." She responded.
I sighed and got up from my bed. I then walked to the end of Clare's block and sat down on the curb.
I was so mad at the world. I hated this- I hated every one.. Besides her.
I knew that meeting up with her was a bad idea though, I was in the fucking worst mood - and I know I was going to say things I didn't mean.
"Eli?" I heard a voice say, I turned to see Clare. I then stood up from the curb and approached her. "What's the matter?"
"My dad came over to discuss some thing with my mom.. And I bitched at him about moving.. But there's no way I can get out of it, Clare." I honestly told her. As much as I hurt me to admit it.. I had to say it-"I'm moving, for real."
Clare nodded and looked down at the floor and then back up at me. "I'm screwed."
"Clare, it's okay. You've got your mom, your dad, Alli, and Adam." I reminded her.
Tears glistened in her eyes. One single tear fell down her cheek.. and that's when the yelling began..
"No Eli, my mom hates every one; and is beginning to drink. My dad hasn't come back yet. Alli is so wrapped up in Drew, that she never even talks to me anymore. And I haven't talked to Adam in forever." She responded. "Your the only person I have!"
"Clare. I'm sorry. I don't want to leave, but I can't stop all of this from happening." I explained, she began crying.
"Eli! Your not even trying to stop it!"
"What are you talking about?" I asked, confused.
"You don't seem like you even care that much! All you care about is dragging me on for the ride!"
"Clare! Stop- rewind- play." I demanded.
"You keep saying 'I promise I'll get out of this; every things going to work out' - but Eli, your just being an asshole and lying to me! You know you can't get out of this, so why do you keep claiming that you can!" She screamed at me.
I may have finally pushed her to the edge..
"Because I was trying to make myself believe that I could!" I told her.
"That's not a good enough explanation."
"Well, I'm not good enough for you, Clare." I told her. She rolled her eyes.
"Why would you think that?" She asked; she was very mad.
"KC never did this to you! He did one bad thing- and I've done millions. Just go back to him." I replied.
"Eli! You know that's not true, stop playing victim!" She yelled.
"Clare. I'm trying to tell you to get over me!"
"I don't need you telling me what to do!" She argued.
"I'm moving! Do you understand that I'm probably never going to see you again! I'm not allowed to drive back here! Go get another guy, because you'll never see me again." I tried to get her to realize what that meant.
She began crying really hard, she turned her back to me and began walking back towards her house.
I ran my hands through my hair. And grew so angry with myself.
Clare was half way down the block, when I ran towards her.
I wrapped my arms around her waist.
"Leave me alone." She demanded, as she turned to me and pushed me off. "That's was the last straw- the last time I'll ever allow you to hurt me." She told me, right before she began walking once again.
I fucked up.. Bad.
