Okay so this part is in Eli's perspective. It's what happens just after Clare storms out of his room in the hospital during Drop the World Part 2. It will go to the part that I left off with Clare. The next part will also be in Eli's perspective so please let me know whose perspective you like better or if you like me doing both. Please also let me know what you want to see happen and I will take that into consideration. Enjoy!
As I watch Clare storm out of my room in the hospital I feel as if my heart was just stomped on and ripped into a million different pieces. I've never felt this way before. Even with Julia the feeling was different. Julia didn't betray me and leave my heart to die. Clare did. The worst part is I know that only Clare can put the pieces back together. But with the way she stormed out of here tonight I don't know if she will ever even speak to me again, let alone love me. But I can't give up on her the way she gave up on me. I won't stop trying. I love her, and I know she still loves me.
"Eli, do you want to talk about what just happened?" Bullfrog asks as he walks into my room. There is a look of sympathy on his face and I can tell that he witnessed everything that just happened between me and Clare.
"No" I say as I turn my head to face in the direction that Clare stormed off in. A tear rolls down my cheek but I quickly stop the rest from falling. I refused to let Bullfrog see me cry. I'll get Clare back so there is no point in crying anyway.
"Well the doctor said that if you're feeling better tomorrow we can take you home" He looks down on me with the stupid look of sympathy still remaining in his eyes. I swear that if this is going to be a regular thing that I'm going to have to find some way to get Clare back faster because I don't think I can handle it.
"Okay" I say as I look up at him. For the first time since the crash I really look at him. I can tell he was in a rush to get here because he still has lines on his face from the pillow he was sleeping on. Underneath the leather jacket he has on, he is wearing a destroyed rolling stones t-shirt, which he never wears in public. His hair is flat against his head in the back, and sticking up wildly in the front. There is a look for sadness and fear in his eyes that I'm guessing is because of the call he probably received saying 'Excuse me, are you Bullfrog Goldsworthy? Well I'm sorry to say but your son is in the hospital and we need someone here for him'. Overall, he looks like a mess, and I know it's because of me. As if I need another reason to feel absolutely terrible! "Can I just have some time to myself, Dad?"
"Umm, yeah sure. I'm just out in the hall if you need me." He walks out and I see he sit on the bench right outside of my room's only window. Well at least I know someone cares about me!
I roll back over in the small bed that they gave me, which is very uncomfortable. To make matters worse they put my leg in a cast because it was broken in the crash. By the time I'm laying on my other side I'm so tired from all the chaos that took place tonight and from turning over alone that my eyes feel heavy. I look around to make sure no one is looking at me. When I decided that it's safe, I let a few tears fall for Clare. Knowing that she still loves me and that I still love her will be the only thing that keeps me going. My eyes close and soon everything goes black.
My dreams mostly consist of bits and pieces of my memories with Clare. Me and Clare being assigned English partners and getting her to scream at the top of her lungs. Me and Clare working on Romeo and Juliet together, our first kiss. Me finding her hiding in the library so she wouldn't get caught by Simpson for setting off the stink bomb. Our kiss right after I threw Simpson off her trail. Her holding me after Fitz pretending to knife me. Us sitting in the hammock after helping Adam throw that party for Fiona. Her holding me in Morty and telling me that she would never leave me after Fitz went to her house unexpectedly. Her helping me clean my room after she realized I was a hoarder, and the kisses we shared during it. All the times I held her in my arms. Clare thinking that Fitz was right all along. Clare cleaning my locker and breaking into my room. Clare not coming with me to the convention in Bloomington. Clare storming out of my hospital room.
I awake with a start to find Clare sitting in a chair across the room. She is looking right at me with shock in her eyes. I look around to see that I am still in the hospital but I have no idea what time it is or how many days I have been here for. She smiles and gets up to walk over to me. I wonder if everything is going to be fine and if she will take me back, but with the way she just smiled I'm not too sure. Right then and there I make it my mission to get Clare Edwards back.
"Hey, Eli"
"Hey"
"We need to talk"
So let me know what you think! I know it's a huge cliff hanger but the next one should be up in a few days so you don't have too long to wait! I hope you all have a great Sunday night and week ahead of you!
