Love is Forever
Summary: The pain was just too unbearable as I watched the girl I fell in love with, kiss the guy that I thought was my best friend.
Chapter 3: Cry for You
I walked into the classroom and sat down at my desk, not really caring about the looks I was getting. I looked up at the board and blinked a few times. I was feeling a little light headed to be honest. My vision blurred and I shook my head a little.
"Eli. Your bleeding." I heard someone say. I breathed a little heavy and looked down at my arm. I lifted it up from the desk and eyed the smeared blood on my desk. I swallowed hard and felt my eyes grow wide. Absentmindedly, I pulled my sleeve down and the roll of paper that I had wrapped around my wrist fell, hitting the floor.
I listened to people scream and say obsene words.
I cursed under my breath and clenched my wrist, only to have the blood continue to flow.
Before I could do anything else, my vision blackened.
"Somebody call 911!"
.
.
"Clare!" I called out to her. She smiled at me when she turned around. I walked up to her and wrapped my arms around her waist before I kissed her. She pulled away and smiled again. Clare pinned her eyebrows together and she said, "Eli. What happened to your lip?"
"Oh this? Don't worry about it."
"...Eli it's still bleeding." Clare pointed out. I wiped the blood away and looked at the heel of my hand and frowned a bit. I said, "It's not bleeding a lot. It doesn't hurt really." Clare pressed her lips into a line and she asked, "Did you get into another fight with Fitz?" I looked down at her, wondering if that question was relevant to answer.
"I didn't start it if that's what you're asking." I watched her blue eyes sadden. I said, "Clare I'm being serious." She nodded slowly.
Clare wrapped her arm around my waist and I wrapped mine around her shoulders. We walked out of the halls and headed outside since this was our lunch period. We sat out on the tables, and talked for a few minutes.
"Eli, please tell me you're going to end this fued with Fitz. It's not worth it." Clare said, placing a hand on mine.
I sighed and swallowed hard.
I looked into her blue eyes and I smiled at her a little.
"I promise I'll stop." I said. She smiled.
Clare leaned over and she kissed my cheek. I interlaced our fingers together and sighed a little. Clare looked over at me and she blinked a few times. I stared at the table and blanked out a little bit. She leaned her head on my shoulder.
"Eli. Let's hang out today." Clare murmured.
She looked at me with big puppy eyes and I smirked.
"Okay." I said.
I mean, I couldn't just say no that face. Clare is just too cute. We sat outside for a while and waited for our lunch period to finally be over. I led Clare to class, but before we did, I softly pushed her aside.
"Eli? Eli we can't go in here we'll get in trouble." Clare hissed as we entered an empty classroom, the media class. The lights and computers were all off. Perfect. I softly pushed Clare up against the wall and kissed her. I didn't want us to get caught in the hallway, nor did I want people to see us, so an empty classroom would've been better. And, I really didn't feel like walking all the way down to the boiler room.
Clare whimpered when I softly bit her lower lip. She opened her mouth and I thrust my tongue into her mouth. I tried not to lose control in front of her. I haven't kissed her like this in a while, nor have I touched her in a while, so I kept my hands on her hips.
Her hands moved around my neck and pulled me closer to her. Our tongue moved around and I licked her bottom lip before we parted. I watched Clare slowly open her eyes and I smirked, placing a chaste kiss on her lips.

"What is that?"
"Sounds like a siren."
"It sounds really close."
"There's an ambulance parked outside."
Clare looked around and she too was just as curious. She got up and walked to the window and looked outside it. She blinked a few times and watched as two people jumped out of the ambulance and held the stretcher as the wheels hit the ground.
"Okay class. Please just get away from the window. I'll be right back."
The teacher walked out, and she left the students all alone in the classroom. Of course one had to get up and walk to the door to check and see what was going on. Clare, not as curious as she was anymore (well she is really curious, but she wasn't going to show it), she sat back down in her desk and started to review in her notes.
"Hey Clare."
She looked up.
"Yes?" She asked.
"That emo kid you hang out with is getting carried out on the stretcher."
"What?" She asked. Clare got up and she burst out of the classroom. She stopped in the middle of the hallway. Before she could continue to walk, a teacher had grabbed her wrist holding her back. Everything around her was quiet, as if no sounds were emitting. And it felt as in everything was just moving around in slow motion. Clare struggled in the teachers grasp and cried.
"Let me go! Let me go!" She screamed. Clare broke free from the teacher and ran to the stretcher.
"Eli. Eli please...Eli wake up."
"Ma'am, I need you to let go." The man pushing the stretcher said.
"No!" Clare cried. Someone pried her off and she cried heavy sobs. Principal Simpson rubbed her back and she cried hard in his arms

"I will be passing back your papers from last week. Most of you did pretty good," Mr. Purino placed my paper on my desk, "While some of did fare," He placed a paper on Adam's desk, that had a big red C on the corner. I smiled a little, watching Adam curse under his breath.
"Okay. I have a lot of things to do. Keep your voices low. If I can hear your conversation you're too loud." Mr. Purino said as he sat behind his desk. I turned to Adam and said, "It's just a C man. I don't think the end of the world is coming." Adam looked freaked.
"My mom is the end of the world Eli. If she finds this out," He pointed at the paper, "I'm dead meat." Adam clenched his head in his hands. I said, "Oh. Well I'm sorry." I shrugged my shoulders. Sure, I cared, but...I mean it's not MY ass on the line.
I got really bored all of a sudden since Adam was still sulking next to me.
"Okay Adam, we get it. You're dead, let's talk about something else." I said. Adam sighed and nodded.
"How are you and Clare?" He asked.
I smiled.
"We're good. We're hanging out today."
"Oh, that's good." Adam frowned.
"Why the long face machismo?" I asked.
"Well. You guys are always hanging out, and today is guys night." Adam said. I frowned, now remembering that today is guys night. I said, "I'm sorry Adam. I forgot, can we reschedule?" Adam shrugged his shoulders.
"It's okay. It doesn't matter." He flashed me a fake smile.
"Adam, really. We can hang out tomorrow, just you and me." I insisted.
"Eli. It's fine. Forget it." Adam snapped.
"Fine. Be a dick." I muttered and turned back to face the front.
"Eli, stop being rude." Adam growled.
"Adam, quit acting like a girl." I responded. I took note at what I said and I sighed saying, "Adam I didn't mean it like that." Adam sighed. He got up and quickly exited the classroom. God dammit...
.

"Clare?"
"Clare what's wrong?"
"Adam! It's Eli! He's...something's happened to him!" Clare cried repeatedly as she broke free from Principal Simpson's arms and ran to Adam. She crashed into his chest and he wrapped his arms around her waist. He rubbed her back and said, "Do you know what's wrong with him?"
"I don't know. I just saw him getting carried out. He looked awful Adam. He looked so pale." Clare cried into his chest. She clenched his shirt and sobbed freely. Adam said, "Come on. I'll get us a ride to the hospital." He took Clare's hand in hers and he pulled her out of the school, not bothering to stop when Principal Simpson shouted for them to come back.
He couldn't.
Eli is his friend no matter what shit they went through, and he knew that deep down...Clare still loved him. It didn't take them long to find a ride; Coach Armstrong was outside keeping the students away, and once the ambulance left. He drove Adam and Clare to the hospital.
Clare practically jumped out of the car the minute he parked.
She ran inside towards the emergency room.
"Clare! Clare wait!" Adam shouted for her to stop. She stood in the middle of the lobby and held herself. Clare sat down in an empty seat and sobbed in her hands.
"Why would Eli do this? Why would he go this far into doing something like this?" Clare cried. Adam sat down next to her and wrapped his arm around her quivering shoulders. Clare leaned into him and stared blankly at the white floor; her tears streamed down her face, not stopping whatsoever.
"Clare. Please don't cry anymore. Eli will pull through I promise." Adam said. Clare sniffled and looked over at Adam. Her eyes were already blood shot. She felt her face heat up when he placed a small kiss on her temple. Clare suddenly remembered the kiss she and Eli shared.
"Adam...I have something I need to tell you." Clare said through broken sobs.
Adam blinked a few times.
"Eli...we...Eli and I kissed earlier." She said, looking over at him, her tears never ceased to stop.
"What?" Adam asked.
"Eli kissed me, and then...I told him that I couldn't do this to you, and then I kissed him back." Clare said. Adam swallowed the lump in his throat. He was hurt, but he wasn't going to let it show. Adam knew all too well that Clare still loved him.
"Clare...it's fine. We'll talk about this...later." Adam smiled faintly at her. Clare smiled at Adam and hugged him.
"Thanks Adam, you're always so understanding." She said in between a choked out sob.
'If you only knew what I was really thinking Clare.' Adam thought as his eyes sadden and closed.
