Chapter 9
Eli and Clare Fan fiction
I woke up on a flimsy mat the hotel made us sleep on, their storm cellar was driving me insane, and the only thing that is keeping me sane is that Eli told me he loved me, but they made him go to the west storm cellar. Their is no way I'm ever coming here again.
"Ok everybody you can leave just check in at the front desk first" the manger said, everybody else was running up the stairs with their kids, I stayed back, what if Eli wasn't ok, what of he got hurt? I dragged my feet up the stairs, into the main foyer. I was enlightened with joy when I saw Eli waiting at the top of the stairs, "Eli!" I said racing over to him hugging him so tightly I never wanted to let go, "I love you so much" he whispered in my ear, I looked him in the eyes, then kissed him so passionately I heard the parents telling their kids to look away, Eli's tongue traced my bottom lip but this time I didn't let go, no way, I loved him so incredibly much, but would find the right time to tell him.
Finally the hotel employee came over to us, "sir, the guests are complaining about your displays of affection" he said, Eli just shoed him away with his free hand. "Sir I will have to ask you to leave" the employee said again, "no problem" Eli said pulling away, when we were almost out the door Eli quickly kissed me on the lips, and glared back at the employee.
I examined the damaged hotel, most of the windows were gone and the roof partially torn off, but it wasn't too bad, "Eli why do you do that?" I asked as we found morty, "do what Clare?" he said placing his hand on his chest, "make people mad for no reason" I said as I got in morty, "well he shouldn't have interrupted; he said sitting down also.
"Eli where is my phone?" I said remembering he had it last, "oh no Clare I think I lost it!" he said in a very sarcastic voice, "seriously Eli where is it?" I said as I reached out my hand, "here Edwards" Eli said as he took my phone out of his pocket and placed it in my palm, then suddenly he swiped it back, "very funny Goldsworthy, give it back" I said trying to grab it, but he is just to quick, " I need a reason" he said raising his eyebrows at me, and pretending to drop it out the window, "because I said" I said nearly leaping on him, "not good enough" he said extending his arm further out the window, "ok, Elijah Goldsworthy, you should give me my phone because I love you very very much" I said not believing my own words, " that is an excellent reason Mrs. Edwards" he said giving me my phone.
"Now call your mom" he said smiling, not smirking, smiling. My mom picked up after the third ring, "hey sweetie what's up?" she said, I covered the speaker, "what did you want" I whispered to Eli, "directions' he whispered back starting the car, "Eli needs directions" I said uncovering the speaker, "let me see the phone" Eli said with his hand out, I almost placed it in his hand the pulled back, just like he did to me, I raised my eyebrows waiting for an answer like before, "I love you" he mouthed, I cupped my hand over my ear, "I love you" he whispered.
As he and my mom started talking, he pulled out of the parking lot, wow he has broke every driving law possible. "Ok thank you, bye" Eli said snapping the phone shut and handing it to me, "how long until we get their" I said as we passed the "you are now exiting Ottawa sign" "about an hour and a half" ugh, I hate driving, "and what am I supposed to do that whole time?" I questioned him, "well we could talk about how I think your moving to Montreal" he said with a blank expression, "what?" I said turning my whole body towards him, "well Clare their is no way in hell your staying with your father" he said quickly glancing at me, "and Clare lets face it you cant live with me" he said in a shaky voice, "oh I get it you don't want me to live with you" I said crossing my hands over my chest, "no Clare of course I would want you lo live with me-" I cut him off, "its your parents, isn't it?" I said, "no Clare they offered-" I cut him off once again, "no, Clare your mom wouldn't approve" he finally said without my interruption, he was right. "Oh" was all I could say, he was right, I felt a tear go down my cheek, I closed my eyes and put my head back on the seat this was going to be along ride.
"Wake up sleepy head" Eli nudged me as we turned off the highway, "Clare you barley talked the whole ride, then you fell asleep, what's wrong?" he asked a hint of worry in his tone, truthfully I was having second thoughts on living with Eli. "I just really don't want to live here, where all the street signs are in French and I can't read them" I said, leaving a small part out, purposely, "Clare is that all? or is their something else?" he said catching in my lie, " I really don't want to be away from you" I said pulling it off, or as I thought, "well than maybe your mom will let you come live with me" he said, but this time my expression gave me away. "do you want to live with me?" he said, "no, Eli its just, I don't want things to go to far" I said looking down in embarrassment, "well sheesh care, I thought you had some other sparkly vampire boyfriend or something" he said, I looked up at him, I started giggling rapidly at his remark, "now were almost their so are you going to ask your mom?" he said pulling on to a small street, "most defiantly" I said as he pulled in the driveway of a tiny green house.
"Come on, blue eyes, I don't want your mom to think your dead because of my hearse" he said, getting out and opening my door as always, he draped his arm around my shoulder and we walked up the tiny flower path to the front steps, he rang the door bell, as my mom came to the door she looked like she went into cardiac arrest, seeing my dark clothed boyfriend with his arm around her perfect daughter. "hello, Eli" she said inviting us in once she realized she was staring, "mom" I said giving her a big hug, "Clare I was so worried" she said as we sat on the couch, "thank you for keeping her safe Eli" my mom said trying to be nice, but Eli wore all black, drove a hearse and had black nail sharpie, I know my mom disapproved.
"So Eli your Clare's English partner?" my mom asked hoping for a yes. "Actually mom, Eli is my boyfriend-" I said, but I should have know this was coming, "well Clare, Marissa should be home any minute, she said we could stay here for a while, and the school has a wonderfully gifted program and its just around the corner" she said, she would do anything to keep me away from him, "no mom Eli's parents said I could stay with them-" she cut me off, "no Clare you are not staying with them, I'm sure their very nice people and all but-" this was my turn to cut her off, "no mom I want to stay with the Goldsworthy's, and I will not leave Degrassi!" I yelled, Eli had pulled me back, "calm down Clare" he whispered into my ear, "No Eli I want to live with you!" I screamed, I couldn't take it anymore, I ran to the nearest door and went inside, I just wish I turned on the light first or maybe I wouldn't have ran into a closet.
Soon enough, Eli came to the door "Clare your not going to stay in a closet forever" he said trying to open the door, I jumped to my feet and locked it, wow, I had a very short temper these days, "come on Clare" Eli said in a whiney tone, with a little bit of anger in his tone, I looked around the closet and I grabbed the closest pillow and comforter, and fell asleep to Eli talking to my mom.
