Chapter 6
Eli and Clare Fan fiction
I woke up to find Eli's arms slung around me, and him lightly snoring, I shifted my position. I glanced out the window; it was pitch black, darker than the night I snuck out. I glanced at the clock, it was almost midnight, as soon as I tried to move again Eli's suddenly woke up, he looked at the clock also, "Go back to sleep Clare bear" he said in a weary tone, I smiled at his nick name for me, "ok Eli butterfly" I said giggling, he suddenly snapped his head up, "you are not going to get away with that!" he said fully awakened "well ok sure, since your awake lets go to the cafeteria now." I said trying to stand, "ouch" I hissed falling back into Eli's arms, "here" he said trying to hand me crutches, "no way" I said glancing at the stupid piece of metal, "well then I'm just going to have to carry you" he said doing his irresistible smirk, "what-" I tried to say, but before I knew it he had me up in his arms and out the door, as we were walking, getting wide-eye stares from everybody in the hall, I rested my head on Eli's shoulder.
Then I remembered why I was here in the first place, my dad had cut open my foot. Where was my mom, I also thought, just thinking of the possibilities made me start crying once again, Eli had already had me in the elevator, as he pressed the button he realized me crying, "Clare did I hurt you?" he asked wiping the tears from my eyes, "no but where's my mom?" I asked, he looked puzzled at first but then he had realized what I had meant. "Clare I really don't know" he said realizing the possibilities, the elevator door suddenly opened, he offered to carry me again but I denied, so instead he put his arm around my waist and walked me the rest of the way there. I will be right back" he said going to the cashier stand, their was nobody in this cafeteria, good no one but Eli will see me cry, where was my mom, I thought repeatedly, and what would have my dad done to me if Eli hadn't pulled me out of the way?
By this time I saw the tiny puddles I was forming with my tears on the table. Eli came back with two strawberry cheesecakes and one spoon, "I'm sure your mom is fine" he said as he sat down, "No she's not Eli, my dad would have killed me if you hadn't pulled me out of the way" I said with a hint of sarcasm, "Clare please don't say that" he said looking at his cheese cake, "why not Eli? It's true he would have! My mom is probably dead" I screamed letting the anger out, the last words stung the most. Eli actually looked hurt by what I had said, "Eli?" I said, trying to figure out what I had said to upset him, "Eli I'm sorry, but I think its true" I said letting more tears escape, "Its nothing Clare, I know your worried" he said staring at me, " but it don't think you should live with your dad" was he serious? "Well where am I supposed to live? I asked in curiosity, "with me" he said after taking the first bite of his cheesecake, "no Eli I cant, my dad would find me" its not that I don't want to live with the guy I love, but things could go to far.
"Clare you even said your dad might kill you" he said grabbing my hands, "Eli I know your worried but even if the slightest thing happens, I will call you" I said taking the spoon from him and taking a bite of my cheesecake, "ok blue eyes" he said smirking, now I liked this nickname more. "Ok then green eyes, why did you only get one spoon?" I said laughing. "because I can only carry so much, and I saw it in a movie once" he said taking the spoon again, "ok, Eli you know you cant take the spoon every three seconds" I said trying to take it back, "ok Clare if you want cheese cake so bad then here" he said dipping his finger in whip cream, "and what are you going to-" I didn't even get to finish my sentence before he wiped it on my nose, "you did not!" I said taking the whip cream of my nose and placing it on his, we laughed until he got closer and closer until his lips were just centimeters away, then suddenly he pulled away, "what was that for!" I asked, "that was for calling me Eli butterfly" he said smirking.
"Ok we better get you off to bed" he said with his arms ready to carry me, but instead I denied, so once again he put his arm around my waist and walked me to the elevator. "Which number are we?" he said pressing every button, "Eli what did you do that for?" I asked completely confused, to do more of this" he said placing his lips to mine; my stomach had millions of butterflies in it, maybe this is why I call him Eli butterfly.
I quickly pulled away once I heard the elevator doors open, he walked me back to my room, I was staring into his eyes, and he was staring into mine, I was surprised we didn't run into anybody, considering neither of us was looking in the right direction, until we got into my room, he kissed me lightly on my lips as we walked in, as soon as we turned our heads, my dad was sitting on the corner of my bed, his shirt had red streaks down it. Dried blood.
