Hello, lovely readers! Thanks for all of the amazing reviews! Here is chapter 15! As much as I hate to say it, this story is nearing its end. :( This is most likely the last chapter. Sorry guys. THERE WILL BE AN EPILOGUE! Who knows, maybe there will be a sequel? Just a heads up: Because this is the last chapter, I wrote from all three of their perspectives. Hope you like it!

Clare's POV-

As Eli was dialing 911, he dropped to the floor, unconscious.

"Eli!" I screamed, running to his side.

I leaned down, and pressed my fingers to the inside of his wrist. There was a pulse, but just barely.

"Eli, stay with me." I begged.

Julietta picked up the phone and called an ambulance.

I put my fingers to his wrist again. His pulse was getting slower by the second, and soon there would be no pulse at all.

"They'll be here in a minute. He'll be alright." Julietta comforted me.

"It's all my fault!" I cried.

I put my fingers to his wrist for a third time, and my fears were confirmed.

There was no pulse at all.

Remembering all that I had learned in health class, I began CPR.

The ambulance arrived a few minutes later, and an EMT took over where I had left off.

Eli was driven to the closest hospital. I rode in the back of the ambulance too, refusing to leave his side for even a second.

Julietta followed the ambulance to the hospital in her own car.

I held Eli's hand the whole time, hoping and praying he would be all right.

Eli's POV-

I could hear Clare's soft voice calling my name. I wanted so badly to answer, I just couldn't. I couldn't find my voice; couldn't open my eyes.

It was almost like I was asleep, but I could hear everything that was going on.

I could hear everybody talking all at once. It sounded like I was underneath water. The voices were muted, and blurry. If voices could be blurry. Maybe, I was just drugged up from all of the medicine that the doctor's had no doubt filled my system with already, but that's how everything sounded; muted, and far away.

Nothing was clear at all.

"Eli." I heard Clare murmur. She was crying hysterically. I could hear it.

Why wasn't anyone calming her down for me? It wasn't right, for her to cry over me like that. I couldn't stand to be the reason for her pain.

I heard someone mumble something about morphine, and that's the last thing I remembered hearing before I was out.

When I woke up, I was lying in a hospital room.

Clare was laying in the chair next to me, asleep. I leaned over, and caressed her cheek, just happy to be able to touch her again. Happy to be away from all of the drama.

She shifted in her seat, and fluttered her eyes.

"Eli?" She asked, sitting up.

"I'm right here. You can go back to sleep. I'll still be here when you wake up." I whispered.

She didn't listen, but she never does. I like her stubbornness though, and wouldn't change it for the world.

She laid on my hospital bed next to me, leaning her head on my shoulder.

"I thought I'd lost you." She whispered.

"No. I could never leave you." I assured her.

She smiled back, and I'd almost forgot how beautiful her smile really was.

"What exactly happened?" I wondered.

"I don't know what happened. I only know the result of what happened. You have two broken ribs. And you were bleeding to death internally. The doctor's had to remove your spleen. I almost lost you, Eli, and I couldn't bear it."

I smoothed her hair back.

"You'll never have to go through that again." I murmured.

She buried her head in my chest and eventually fell back asleep. I wrapped my arms around her, wanting to stay in that moment forever.

Julietta's POV-

I'm so happy that everything is over. I can finally breathe again. I walked through the doors of the hospital, and to the front desk.

A blonde-haired woman looked up, as I walked in.

"Can I help you?" She asked, in a sugar sweet voice that was laid on way to thick.

"Yes ma'am. I was wondering what room Elijah Goldsworthy is staying in? I'm here to visit him."
She type something in at lighting speed into her computer.

"He's in room 209, Miss." She told me.

"Thanks."

I headed down the hall, turning left at the end. I walked a little further down, and found room 209. I knocked, lightly.

"Come in." A voice called.

I walked through the door, carrying a bag of things I brought.

"Hi, Julietta." Eli greeted, smirking.

"Hey, you."

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"Just thought I'd stop by and see how you were doing. How are you?"

"I'm doing pretty good. Thanks." He told me.

"So, I brought you a few things. I know you're going to be in here for a few days, and you're probably bored out of your mind..."
He laughed. "You have no idea."
"I brought you some CD's." I told him.

"Cool." He replied.

"And I brought you and Clare lunch. I know how bad hospital food is, trust me. And flowers. I know that's probably lame, but you're room needed some color."

He chuckled. "God forbid my hospital room is plain."
I shook my head.

"I see you haven't lost any of that sarcasm." I pointed out.

"Oh, well of course not." He grinned.
I handed him the food, and the CD's.

"You're not staying? Clare has been wondering how you're doing." He informed me.

"No, no. I don't want to stay too long. Wear out my welcome, y'know. Plus, I have a few errands to run. But, I may stop by for a few minutes tomorrow."

He nodded.

"See you tomorrow, Julietta."

"Bye, Eli." I muttered, and headed for the door, out to my car.

I was glad things were finally returning to normal.

I smiled, as I drove the short distance back home...

Clare's POV-

"Clare." Eli muttered, to wake me up.

"Hmm?"

"Julietta just stopped by. She brought lunch." He told me.

I sat up and rubbed my eyes.

"How is she? Does she look well?" I asked.

"Yes. She brought CD's and flowers." He smiled. "She's actually really nice."
"Yeah, she is." I agreed.

"I love you." He whispered.

I leaned over, and gently touched my lips to his for the first time in months.

I felt sparks fly, just like old times, reminding me that he's the one for me; my other half.

"I love you, too. And always will." I murmured.

He gave me that amazing half-smile, that melts my heart every time, and makes me feel like everything will be alright.

And for once... I actually believe it...
