Chapter 7
Eli and Clare Fan fiction
Eli's P.O.V
Cares dad was sitting on her bed. The bed he had put her in, in the first place. I wanted to go and ring his neck, but Clare suddenly grasped me, and started sobbing into my chest, I can see why she was crying, her dad obviously had dried blood streaked down his shirt "Clare don't cry" I whispered into her ear. Then her dad suddenly spoke "son I think you should step away from my daughter" he said in a husky voice " Clare I think you should let go" I said as I tried to loosen her grip, she looked up at me and let go, and looked at her dad, "Clare, come on your going home" he said glaring at me, "dad where's mom" she said as her voice cracked, " she's on vacation" he said zipping his jacket, hiding the blood.
"Dad can I stay with Eli" she said glancing at me, well her dad just might murder me now, "Hell no, you will never see that boy again" he growled, Clare obviously thought that that means I wasn't allowed to see her again, but I heard it in a different way. "Clare come now" he said getting up and grabbing her wrist, "dad-" she was saying but by now she was already out the door. The second girl I have ever loved could die, and this time I can't do anything about it. I fell to my knees and cried. For the second time ever.
As I pulled my self together, I got up and walked to Morty, slowly dragging my feet, by the time I reached the elevator, I nearly collapsed again, but before I could, the doors opened. I made my way out side, the sun was starting to rise, I saw my taillight had been smashed, oh I wonder who did this I thought sarcastically. As I got into morty, it felt so lonely and cold without Clare, I glanced in my mirror, I still had whip cream on my nose.
I slammed my head against the steering wheel, making the horn blare. I, for the on time followed the speed limit and made my way home. "Eli where have you been" my dad asked as I slumped through the door, " I was at school and I fell asleep in morty" I lied, I said realizing that explains my bloodshot eyes, When I got up to my room I threw my phone on my nightstand and threw my self on my bed. This would have never happened if I didn't take Clare into the woods, I thought, "THATS IT" I screamed while punching the wall. "DAMN IT" I screamed not caring if my dad heard. Once again I started crying, I have only cried this much over one person, Julia.
Finally as I fell asleep, I heard a buzzing noise 30 minutes later, "shut up damn alarm" I groaned, then I realize it wasn't my alarm it was my phone, Clare was calling she said she would only call if she needed me, I snapped the phone open, "Clare what's wrong" I said so fast my words came out slurred, "Eli my dad slapped me, he went to bed but I need to get out of here" she said in a whisper, "I'm on my way" I said snapping the phone shut, already charging through the hall way and out to morty.
Once I got in, I floored it, I swear the petal was going to break but I don't care as long as it got me there faster, and believe me, it did. I saw her house coming up, so if skidded to a stop. I opened the car door fiercely, but I slammed it just as fiercely. As I got up the front steps I realized the door was locked, I used all my strength and rammed into it with my shoulder, it broke every lock that door had, of course now my shoulder was probably broken but I don't care as long as Clare isn't broken.
I sprinted up the stairs to find a door with "Clare" plastered all over it, I opened the door too find a huge red mark down her face and tears in here eyes. "Clare" I said as I ran over to her and hugged her and kissed her forehead, "every things going to be ok" I said as we started for the door, but her dad was standing right their in the door frame, looking mad as hell. "WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GOING?" he screamed, well I needed to say something "I'M GETTING YOU DAUGHTER OUT OF THIS HORRID HOUSE" I screamed back just as loud, "SHE'S TERRIFIED OF YOU" I screamed again, he glanced at Clare, she nodded. Then it hit me, literally her dad had slapped me the just the way he had slapped Clare, "GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE AND DON'T TOUCH MY DAUGHTER" he screamed charging for Clare.
No way was he going to hit her again. I used all my strength, and shoved her dad right into the hall way, his head made a huge cracking sound against the wall, good. "Come on Clare were going out your window" I said, locking her door, as her dad was pounding at it, I swiftly opened the window "Clare I'm going first to catch you if you fall" I said climbing out on to the trellis and swiftly climbing down to the ground, "Come on Clare" I said reassuring her everything's ok, even though nothing is ok anymore.
"OW! I cut my finger" she said as her feet hit the ground, I took her hand I could feel where the vine made a slice in her finger, "sheesh Clare you sure bleed a lot" I said pulling her to morty "I'm so extremely sorry Eli" she said in a sarcastic tone, when we got into morty we saw her dad coming out the door with an axe in his hand, "Floor it" I heard Clare screech, and that's exactly what I did.
"Ok Clare no offense but your dad is not coming to our wedding" I said laughing, "what?" she said staring at me, "it was a joke" I said staring at the road, "oh" she said like she didn't want it to be a joke, well I know I did not want it to be a joke.
