AN: This is kinda (well actually, this is) a filler chapter. It's kind of letting you know what happened after the car hit. The next, and final chapter will be very long, so be prepared. It will have Adam, a heart necklace, a man that owns a gun department, and more tons more Eli tears. :( Anyways, here's chapter 2. Enjoy and review! P.S. I totally loved Eli and Clare in the new episode :))

After 30 minutes, I was still sitting in the corner of my room, sobbing. I just couldn't believe she was gone. I remember seeing her lying in middle of the road, her body limp. Lifeless. Blood surrounding her, staining the concrete of the street.
I remember every detail of that night. Running up to her, lifting her body off the floor. Wrapping her in my arms while I screamed for help.
Her eyes were barely open, and the rain was soaking us both.
"Eli.." She whispered.
"Clare! Please don't leave me, please!" I cried.
"Eli, I'm sorry, I can't.." Her voice was getting quieter now, her eyes slowly drooping shut.
I tried holding back my tears, but it was impossible. I knew there was nothing I could do to save her. I saw someone on the sidewalk standing there, shocked. I could see them pull out there phone and call who I assumed to be the police, but it was no use. By the time they got here, Clare would already be gone.
"Clare p-please. You can't do this to me, I-I love you! That's why you can't leave me. I'm nothing without you." My voice was cracking. I had never told Clare that I loved her before, but I knew that I did. That I always have. That I always will.
I continued just staring at her, my vision semi-blurry. The eyes I had loved from the beginning were dull and grey, trying so hard to stay open. Clare's beautiful bouncy hair was matted against her forehead from all the rain and blood. Her plump pink lips slowly, but barely curved into a small smile
"I-I love you too Eli" Her voice was barely audible now, and her once present smile was gone within 2 seconds. I knew she was slipping away.
I noticed that there was now a circle of people surrounding us. Most people were standing there, shocked to see the scene that was unfolding. Other's had a tear or two sliding down their faces as they saw the 17 year old girl slowly lose her heartbeat.
"E-eli?" I looked back down at Clare, my heart aching.
"Yes Clare?" I responded, each one of my tears making a splash as it hit the street floor, along with the endless rain. I had to stay strong, or at least try.
I heard sirens in the background and after a few seconds, Clare's angelic voice spoke.
"P-promise me Eli, that you won't stop living your life. That you'll still be happy after all this is over. There's still hope out there for you and I know that you can make it through this. Don't distance yourself from the world Eli, please. J-just.. please, promise me. " I gripped her hand tightly,
"I promise Clare." She gave me once last smile, a tear sliding down her cheek.
"Goodbye Eli…I love you.."
She took her final breath. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head and slowly closed. Her hand, still in my grasp, grew cold and I knew that was it. She was gone.
"Goodbye Clare" I whispered..
And right at that moment, the ambulance arrived.
I will never forgive myself for that night, because I knew it was all my fault. I knew I should have driven her home. I knew I shouldn't have let her walk in the rain, alone. How could I have been so careless?
I pounded my hand against the wall in frustration. I was no longer crying, now all I felt was anger. I hated myself.
Then I remember the promise I made her…how was I supposed to keep that promise? She wanted me to keep living my life. To be happy. But she'll never know. She'll never know that in the moment her hand hit the wet pavement, my life was gone. And my happiness was gone with it.
If you'll be my star
I'll be your sky
You can hide underneath me and come out at night
When I turn jet black and you show off your light
I live to let you shine
I live to let you shine
But you can skyrocket away from me
And never come back if you find another galaxy
Far from here, with more room to fly
Just leave me your stardust to remember you by
A/N: This chapter is meant to be short, it's only a FILLER! Like I said earlier, next chapter will be very very long, I swear. I mean it's the last chapter and it kind of needs to be long so yeah. But anyways even though this was a filler I think it sucked. The ending was really bad and it was rushed, so I apologize. I guess this writer's block will never pass. Oh welllll. Leave a review or no update. Tee-hee just keedinnn, I'm not that selfish ;) Oh, and listen to the song I quote at the end (Boats and Birds by Gregory and the Hawk) It's an amazing song! Hah, review and I'll update ASAP :)
