So I only got 11 reviews this time. That is good but I have been getting a lot more then that so that made me sad. :( I hope it wasn't because the chapter wasn't good. I thought that that was why so I tried to make this one better. I hope you all like it.
Clare's POV
It has been a week since Eli and I broke up and everyone can tell he is trying really hard. Every day he fights for me which I think is really sweet. Every day he does something different to try to win me back. I can really tell he really does love me which makes me love him even more. Like three days ago when Luke, my friend from Jesus club, came up to me and asked me out.
*Flashback*
I just arrived at school and I was walking towards my locker. When I got there I saw Luke standing in front of it. That's strange I thought to myself.
"Hey Clare!" He greeted politely.
"Hey Luke." I replied. There was an awkward silence that filled the air until he broke it.
"So I was wondering if maybe you wanted to go out sometime." He sounded so nervous and I felt bad for him. Just as I was about to answer Eli came up to us and he stood right next to me.
"Hello. I'm Eli." He says with a smirk. Oh no! What is he planning?
"Hi. I'm having a private conversation with Clare so if you don't mind I really just need a minute with her." Luke told him.
"Yeah. I was over there." Eli said pointing to the spot he previously stood. "Listening to this private conversation which is why I came over here." Luke shot me a questioning look and I only shrugged my shoulders in response.
"Okay look. Luke is it?" Eli asked and Luke nodded his head. "Okay Luke. I love this girl right here more than life itself. I royally screwed up so we broke up. But lucky for me she is giving me a chance to prove myself to her. That I really care and love her. And I do but I have to prove this to her so we can get back together. I don't blame you for liking her because I mean I honestly don't get how someone can't but I just really need you to not go after her. I am trying as hard as I can and I don't think I can handle yet another person wanting to have her. I just can't. I want you to know I will do anything to have her so I beg you don't go after her. I would really appreciate no one fighting for her when I already am." Eli said. Awe!
"I'm sorry I didn't know you two were going out." Luke said apologetically.
"We aren't but I am trying to change that, so…" Eli trailed off.
"Of course! Sorry again. You're lucky man. Really lucky to have her. Don't screw it up this time." Luke said then walked away. Eli and I laughed.
*End of Flashback*
That was the moment I knew that I had forgiven him but I have yet to tell him. I am planning on telling him tonight. Since it is Friday I am going to ask him to spend the weekend at my house. My parents won't be there so it will just be us. This is normal for us. We always have sleepovers so I know that his and my parents will be completely fine with it. I made my way into the school and immediately saw Eli and Adam by Eli's locker. Eli's back was facing me but Adam saw me. I gave him the shh signal and then jumped on Eli's back.
"Whoa!" Eli said when he caught me. It always surprised me. The fact that Eli can catch me even if he doesn't know I'm about to jump on him. He always keeps me safe. Another reason why I love him so much.
"Hey." I whispered in his ear.
"Okay. I'll leave you two love birds but not alone to be all cute, loving, and gross at the same time. Later!" Adam said while he walked away. I jumped down from his back and turned around to face me. He wrapped his arms around me and whispered,
"Hey. How is my favorite girl doing?" He does this a lot. Every day he will greet me with a so very sweet sentence. I love that he is trying so hard.
"She is good. How are you?" He gave me a look. "What?"
"That is it? No How is my favorite guy doing?" I laughed at him.
"How is my favorite guy doing?" I said mocking him.
"I was bad but now I am amazing because you are here." He said yet another cheesy line. I sometimes feel like I am in a movie when I am with him. Especially this week.
"So, my parents are going to be out of town this weekend. Do you want to come over for a sleepover this weekend?" I asked.
"Hmm…" He said while he pretended to think about it.
"Let's see. My options are go home this weekend and spend it with my odd and crazy parents or spend the weekend with the girl I am in love with. Hmmm…" He pretended to think some more.
"You know I might need more time. This is a really tough decision." I hit him on his arm…hard.
"Ow! You know I pick you. No need for violence!" I laughed at him.
"We just need to stop by my house first so I can get some clothes and stuff." I nodded my head.
"Of course."
Eli's POV *After School*
"Are you ready to go?" I asked her. She nodded her head and then we made our way out of the school to Morty. I opened the passenger side door for her and she got in. I made my way around the car and got in. I drove off to my house then. We didn't say one word the entire drive but it wasn't an uncomfortable or weird silence. When we did get there my mom immediately came up to us.
"Hello my two favorite children!" I rolled my eyes and Clare giggled.
"Hey mom. You don't care that I am sleeping over at Clare's this weekend, right?" I ask.
"You both know I don't." She replies. I chuckled and said,
"Alright. Well I'm going to go pack I'll be right back." I then made my way towards my room. I packed quickly so Clare and I can get to her house. Before I made my way down the stairs I prayed. I prayed that Clare was going to tell me she forgave me tonight. And I never pray! Once I was finished I made my way downstairs. I heard my mom say,
"You know Clare you are the only thing Eli ever talks about?"
"Oh, really?" Clare answered nervously. I basically ran the rest of the stairs to save Clare from any sort of questions my mom may have. I know my mom probably thinks I love Clare. I am her son after all.
"I'm ready!" I announced. I saw Clare let out a sigh of relief. I smiled at her.
"Okay. Yu two have fun!" We heard my mom yell as we walked out the door.
"Thanks for saving me." Clare said sweetly once we were back on the road.
"Always Clare. Always." I grab her hand and for the first time in a while she doesn't let go and push me away. I smiled when I realized this.
"What?" She asked randomly.
"What what?" I teased.
"You're smiling. That's rare." She responds.
"First of all I normally am always smiling with you and second take a wild guess." I say and squeeze her hand. She blushed and whispered,
"Oh." We both stayed quiet after that. We arrived at her house shortly after. I saw that her parents were packing their luggage in the cab.
"Hey mom and dad!" She greeted. "Is it alright if Eli spends the weekend with me while you are gone?"
"Of course honey! You two behave and have fun!" Her mother said. They got into the cab then and they drove away. I got my bag with my clothes in it and Clare and I made our way into her house.
"Well we have the house to ourselves. What do you want to do?" She asked once we were inside.
"What do you want to do?" I asked while smirking.
"Let's go up to my room and talk." She said.
"Okay?" I replied. We walk into her room and sit on her bed.
"What did you want to talk about?" I asked silently hoping it was about our relationship.
"What would you say if I told you that I forgive you?" She asked and I smiled at her.
Sorry I know kind of a cliffy. But you know he is happy so you will live. Review for me! Please?
