Clare's Pov:

Wtf? I thought this women was dead! Is this for real or am I just seeing things? Oh who am I kidding? I know this is for real! Wait a second. . .Eli lied to me then! He is probably out cheating on me! God, I mean Gosh! I don't need another KC in my life right now! I just can't believe he would do something like this to me.

"Hello? Earth to Clare!" Eli said.

"What?" I said, a little shaky.

" I said, this is Julia. You might of heard me talk about her at one point." He replied, with a shy smirk.

"It's so nice to meet you Clare!" Julia said with a smile.

" You too." I replied, with hatred and jealousy in my eyes. There was an awkward silence for a few seconds. " So. . . Eli . . . I'll ummmm. . . see you later?" Julia asked kind of confused.

I quickly replied before Eli could say a word, " OK! Bye! It was so nice to meet you!" And Julia walked away after that.

Eli's POV:

Oh my- What was- What the- WHAT ! I am freaking out! What the heck is Julia doing here! I thought she was dead! The last time I checked she was! Wait. . . am I dreaming? Was this for real? " Clare. . . am I dreaming right now?" I asked her desperately. She kissed her teeth. " If I saw what you just saw then nope. . ." she replied, a little annoyed. " Well, What did you see exactly?" " I saw you ' dead' EX girlfriend here thats what I saw!" Oh God. I thought to myself. She's mad. " Clare, you dont think im cheating on you. . ." I said laughing. I looked at her while she looked down to her shoes. " DO you?" I asked. " Maybe a little." she spat back at me. " C'mon Clare! Do you really think im that stupid? I would NEVER do ANYTHING like that to you. If I wanted Julia back, I probably would have broken up with you by now! But I didn't. Im here for you. For us. What we have here is special." I said confidently. Clare smiled.

" Thanks Eli. But WHY is she here in the first place? Did she lie about dying? What if she just got hit and went to the hospital and you jumped to conclusions? What if shes trying to get you ba-" I cut her off with one of my specials kisses. " Clare, stop asking me questions! You know im not that smart in school!" We laughed and continued walking, hand in hand.

Julia's POV:

Who the heck was that! She better better be some random chick he picked up off the street because guess what? Julia is back in town and im for one thing, and one thing only. And thats Eli. Is that his girlfriend? Does he love her better than me? Or is she just the re-bound? I kept asking myself these questions over and over again until I got to the motel. I walked into my room and told myself Maybe a nice cold shower would cure me for the time being. So I took my shower, and climbed into bed when I finished.

" Julia, Ive been waiting for this moment for which feels life forever". Eli told me

" Well, you don't have to wait any longer" I replied.

" Im here. . . . . ." I whispered before our lips met.

I looked up and saw Eli and Clare making out. Was I thinking it was me? Maybe I just imagined the same thing happening but it wasn't me in my head. When I saw them kiss, I almost threw up.

" AHHHHH!" I screamed pretty loudly, out of breath. It was only just a dream. I thought to myself. I looked at the clock 9:03 pm. I put my head back down and drifted off in a deep sleep.

Clare's POV:

The rest of the night went really good. Perfect I should say. After we ran into Julia, we went for a walk, stole some bikes and cruised around town.

-* Flash Back-*

" Eli! Wait up!" I yelled from down the street.

" Aww. . . am I too fast for you?" Eli yelled back with a smirk on his face,

" Yes! Now slow down!" He rolled his eyes.

" Fine. But only for you milady." He starts to slow down and the next thing I knew, I went flying passed him.

" Clare! Were do you think your going!" He yelled

" I don't know! Help me stop this thing!" I squealed, trying to press the breaks on the bike. Eli came in half speed to me. When he reached me, he grabbed the bike handle and dragged his shoes across the floor. We stopped slowly.

" Gosh, how do I stop thid think without any help?"

" You press the breaks on the handle Miss. Smarty Pants." I started to blush.

" Someones not using their noggin today!" He smiles, I laughed. I looked at my watch. 7:53pm. Crap, I thought to myself.

" Eli, its getting kind of late. Do you mind taking me home?" I asked.

" Lets me a bet first."

"OK. . .?"

" First person to go down the street by the corner store wins."

" And what is the prize?" I asked confidently.

"Whatever our little hearts desires." He smiled his signature smirk. Gosh I love that smirk. I thought. Paused for a second. " Your on!" I said cheerfully. We climbed on the bikes and counted.

"Ready?"

" Yup! Game on!" I said.

" One. . ."

"Two. . ." we looked at each other, smiling.

"THREE!" we both said and sped off!

! Said one of the bikes as I swerved.

" HA! I WIN!" Eli said, happy as ever.

" Hey! That's not fair! You know my breaks are messed up and you know it!" I said, giggling.

" I know nothing of such sort!" He said, pointing to himself.

"Pshh! Sure you don't!" We both start laughing again.

-*End Flashback-*

We are now sitting on the hood of Morty, looking and attempting to count the stars.

" What do you wish for?"

" if I tell you, it might not come true." I said, with some giggles.

" Well, wouldn't it be cheesy, if I said that. . . mine has already came true?"

" You don't have to say that." I said as I blushed as we became face to face.

" Ehh, I thought it was the right moment." He replied back. We both laughed. I looked into his eyes, and he looked into mine. Before you know it, our lips met, yet again. But something about it made it more special. It felt different. I felt like I could be with this man for the rest of my life. I think Eli is the one for me.

Eli's POV:

Shes the one for me. Shes the one for me. This phrase kept running through my head, over and over again. I know Clare's the one. That kiss was different. Completely different. My heart was racing. I saw fireworks behind my closed tight eyes. I knew in that moment, I cant loose her beautiful sky blue eyes, or her brown curly hair. I love her to much.

We pulled away from that kiss.

"Whoa." We both said, still looking into each others eyes.

" I-I should umm. . . t-t-take you h-home." I said looked down at my fingers. I looked back up at Clare and she nodded. We drove in silence. A comfortable silence actually. I pulled up in front of her house.

I felt like I was being watched. I turned around to see Clare, staring at me.

"Yes?" I asked sarcastically. She looked down to her shoes,playing with her fingers.

"When we kissed back there. . .what did you feel?" she asked nervously.

" Well, I saw fireworks if thats what you mean." I smiled.

" Well, I saw stars!" she said and she started crying.

"Clare, why are you crying? Please don't cry!"

" Im sorry. Its just that I never felt so loved in my life like this before." she said, whipping tears away from her eyes.

" Well, I guess we perfect for each other then?" I asked sarcastically. Clare laughed.

" Yes, we are. Opposites attract rights?"

" Yeah. . . Oh wait, I have something for you." I pulled out a small box out of my jacket pocket and handed it to Clare.

"Whats this?"

"Open it and you will see." As she opened it, her eyes got wider and wider. She took out the gold necklace that said Clare on it.

" Oh my God, Eli! Its beautiful!" she squealed, handing it to me so I could help her put it on.

" I knew you would say that." I said and smiled.

"But why did you get it for me?" she asked confused.

"Because, you always told me that you wanted one for your birthday or for Christmas. And when we went to the mall the other day, they were selling some and I thought, Why not? It is for someone I really love." We both laughed.

" Well im really happy you got it for me. So thank you." She kissed me again and she gave me a long,warm hug.

"Im sorry I have to go so early but you know my parents." she said, a little dissappointed.

"Its OK. Theres always tomorrow." she kissed me again, said good night and she walked inside of her house. Man. . . Im in love. I thought to myself.
