Author's Note; I just want to apologize that I didn't put this up sooner. I have been very busy lately. But I thank you for the reviews!

Stay With Me; Chances

After what happened at the skating rink I had mentality died of embarrassment. I had been so caught up I forgot about my surroundings. I was careless and yet, it felt good. It felt good to be free to be so out there.

Eli had agreed to take me for ice cream which should be fun. The closest place I knew was near the park, which, couldn't have been more perfect. A walk with Eli, possibly alone. Anything could happen.

I guess you could really say I was tired of being the good girl. The one to never have fun because she was too busy studying. And I wanted to let go with Eli because for some reason, it makes me happy and I feel safe around him.

"Clare, I am not afraid to leave you" I heard Eli's voice that knocked me out of my thoughts. I had been standing at the front doors of the skating rink as he insisted on going and getting the hearse.

I crossed my arms across my chest giving him a look. "Like you would leave me" I told him and opened up the car door. "Yeah, yeah get in" He rolled his eyes and I felt the ends of my lips curve into a small smile.

As he started to drive I watched as he tapped his fingers to some beat as he bobbed his head to the silence. I found that cute.

"So where too Blue Eyes?" He asked, and I pointed out a small ice cream shop at a corner across the park "There" I told him a cheesy grin on my face. He got the hint and instead pulled into the parking lot of the park.

I watched as some people stared at the hearse, it was as if no matter where we went Morty was always center of attention.

I got out of the hearse and walked over to Eli who was standing at the edge of the sidewalk, waiting for all the cars to pass by. He looked over at me, biting his lip lightly. I felt his hand touch mine and he suddenly took a hold of my hand, holding it bring a smile to my face.

"For, safety reasons" He said to me his neck turning a light red. Blushing a little. I found it adorable. "Yeah, safety" I giggled as we walked across the street.

We walked up to the counter once we were inside of the ice cream shop. Eli was beyond cute. He had his hands on the glass looking down at the different colors and flavors of ice cream. His eyes wide and his tongue out licking at his top lip. He looked like a five year old.

He moved his eyes up to mine as I saw him smile, realizing how he was acting. He coughed a bit "So, what kind of ice cream would you like?" He asked me and I and smiled "Strawberry" I replied and he nodded. He blushed a bit before walking to the guy behind the counter and ordering our ice cream.

The guy gave him a smile and nodded. So as he was fixing the ice cream I walked over to him. Curious. He never told me what kind he was getting. "If you laugh at me, I will make you pay." He told me, myself a bit confused. Until I saw his ice cream.


Eli's Point Of View

As we walked back over to the park she was giggling like a drunk as I shook my head. "It's not all that funny" I told her, looking down at my blue, red and yellow Superman ice cream. I felt that new burning sensation in my neck and lightly on my cheeks as I knew I was blushing. Which I had never done before.

"I'm going to call you Super-Elijah" She told me sitting on the hood of Morty and still giggling. "And since you can't fly, this is your trusty Morty-Mobile" She laughed hard. I sat next to her and looked over at her, a smile on my face. "So would that make you my sidekick?" I asked her and she shook her head, her curls flying everywhere landing in her eyes making her look unbelievably adorable.

Her laughing came to a stop but she still had a smile on her face, which only made me smile back. "That's Adam" She told me leaning over to me. "And you are?" I was curious, I wanted to know. Actually I needed to know.

"Well Super-Elijah you'll just have to figure that out yourself" She told me a smirk on her face. I do believe I was rubbing off on her. And I quite liked it.

She hopped off of Morty and held out her hand to me. "How about a walk?" She smiled and I took her hand. "Sounds intriguing" I laughed and we started to walk into the park.

To see Clare come out of her shell like this was something new, the way she smiled with even different. But it seemed the more the came out of her shell the more I felt to being defeated. From me smiling to blushing and going skating. She had an effect on me, and I wasn't sure I liked it. But I didn't want it to end.

My hand slid into hers as we walk. That lovely smile never once leaving her face. She took my hand and lead it around to her shoulder. Our smiles never fading at all. But everything seemed so silent. A comfortable one though.

As we made our way back to Morty the street lights started to light up as the sky turned into a dark purple. I opened the passenger side door for her and she slowly let go of my hand. "Why thank you " She said in a southern accent. That kind of made me melt.

I didn't say anything back but my goofy smile probably gave away how I felt.

I as I drove, my smile fell slightly at the realization that tomorrow she'd be leaving, she'd be going home and I would no longer wake up to that beautiful face beside me.

She noticed me, the way I was frowning and I watched out of the corner of my eye as her smile fell as well. "What's wrong?" She asked her soft voice sounding concerned.

"Nothing" I lied. I looked over at her and smiled a half smile. But as I looked at her I just realized. How could I have not have noticed sooner, the way I felt about her. The way I wished I could feel her lips one mine.

She knew I was hiding something as if she could see right through me. But I guess she shrugged it off because she moved his eyes away from me and looked ahead at the road.

I decided then and there. I was done with this. I was done being the idiot I was. I was done waiting. I was willing to take a chance.

So right then and there. I made a sharp turn to the left. And as she looked at me with confusion in her eyes. I just smiled.
