Adam walked over to Morty as Eli and I stepped out.
"So, Clare does anyone know about Erika?" Adam asked
"Alli and the teachers also my mom." I said as I got out of Morty and walked over to Eli
"I bet she wasn't too happy about that" Adam said
"She was furious I only got to stay there because she needed me just as much as I needed her. She was really mad when I became impure, but thought I reacted out of rebellion towards her and my dad when they got a divorce."
"Some mom" Adam said
"If only you knew" Eli said back to Adam causing me to hit him "Ouch" he said rubbing his shoulder as if it hurt.
"I guess I'm not supposed to know" Adam said kinda sadly as we walked into the school
I looked up at Eli giving him a confused look
"He'll find out sooner or later" Eli said looking at me
"I'll show you during lunch we'll eat outside just me, you, Alli, and Eli"
"Deal"
The three of us then walked to our classes Eli gave me a kiss goodbye before I went to mine. Then I sat in my normal seat right next to Alli.
"Hey, does Eli know? I'm guessing he does since you two are kissing"
"He knows and he actually helped me with Erika this morning"
"What do you mean like he arrived at your house early or something?"
"No Alli he stayed the night, but don't get any ideas nothing happened, in matter of fact I'm not sure when he's going home."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Something happened last night I'll tell you at lunch we're eating outside by the way"
After that fourth period came really fast and when Eli and I were walking to the picnic tables everyone was waiting for us.
"So Clare tell us what's going on"
"Ok hold on a minute." I then sat down, got a napkin out of my pocketbook, dipped it in water that I had especially for this. "My mom has gotten worse" I said as I wiped off the make up revealing an ugly bruise.
"She hit you!" Alli yelled as
"Shh Alli I don't want the whole world to know" I said
"How did this happen and were you there Eli?" Adam asked
"We got into an argument and she got mad-" Eli cut me off
"Yes I was there and I was beyond pissed when she hit my Clare, I did my best not to show it, but I swore to myself that she wouldn't be able to touch her again as long as I could help it, so I told my mom this morning that I'm staying over Clare's because she needed me I left out that I'm only there until I feel Clare is safe. Once I know Clare is safe I know Erika will be safe too." Eli then kissed me.
"Guys here, seriously" Alli sneered
"Sorry" I said to Alli. "You're Clare" I said looking up at Eli
"What you are my Clare" he said as I blushed
"So what now" Alli said
"Well we eat our lunch then go back inside" I giggled
"I'm not going to let anything happen to Clare or Erika" Eli said
"Even if that means taking both Clare and Erika out of her mom's?" Alli asked
"Even if that means taking both Clare and Erika away from there" Eli replied
"If that happened where would we go?" I asked
"You'll move in with me we have the extra room" Eli said
"And if we can't?"
"I'll figure out something" Eli said sweetly.
We then finished our lunch and went to 5th period.
I was in the middle of my science class when Simpson came to the door for me.
"Clare I need to talk to you, bring your things." Simpson said as he walked into the classroom.
"Yes sir"
"Emma called me and Erika's in the hospital with a fever of 104º that won't go down you need to get down there right away I have two police officers to escort you in your car I happen to know your mother's off."
"Sir, I came with Eli can I take him out of class?" I said trying to hold back the tears.
"Yes run and I'll call his teacher."
I then ran to Eli's classroom in full speed not bothering to hold back the tears. I barged in his classroom without even knocking.
"Eli we have to go now Erika's in the hospital" I yelled.
Eli then shut the book that was on his desk, put his book bag over his shoulder, grabbed his book in his hand , then took my hand, and we ran as fast as we could to get out of the school.
"There are cops outside to escort us to the hospital in your hearse." I said
"What happened to Erika, she was fine this morning"
"She has a fever of 104º that won't go down"
The officers stopped us as we got outside.
"Are you two trying to get to the hospital?" one officer asked
"Yes we are" I replied
"What are you driving?"
"A hearse" Eli said
"Ok he'll go in front of you" the officer said pointing to another officer "And I'll follow you"
Eli and I then got inside Morty, seat belted ourselves in, and drove off as fast as we could.
"She's going to be ok Clare." Eli said holding my hand as we drove.
"Can't they drive any faster?" my tears finally stopped.
"We're going 95 miles per hour, we're running red lights, and stop signs I think we'll get there fast enough plus it's only been three minutes and we're half way there." Eli said
"Yea well…" I couldn't even think after that I was so worried.
"She'll be ok." I guess Eli read my mind.
We then arrived at the hospital and officers stopped us as we got out of Morty.
"Son can I have your keys so I can park you car, don't worry I'll find you." one officer said
Eli then handed him his keys and took my hand.
"Follow me kids I know where they put your daughter and I'll run both of you there as fast as I can."
We then ran behind the other officer as fast as we could. When we got to her floor we seen Emma.
