Chapter 10

Eli and Clare Fan fiction

I woke up not remembering where I was, and then I felt the hard wood floor beneath me. My mom won't let me stay with Eli, so I locked myself in a closet. Smart Move.

I slowly opened the door, all the lights were out and I could here my mom lightly snoring from the guest room. Since the closest was raised above the ground, I carefully stepped down; my foot hit something ever so lightly. Eli's ankle, he had been sleeping directly in front of the door. I stepped over Eli and wandered into the hallway to find the kitchen. As I Tip-toed past the bedrooms I found the kitchen. I opened the refrigerator door and in the side was a jug of water. As I looked in the cabinets for a glass, I opened the door to quick and knocked over whole stack of glasses.

I listened carefully if any body had woken up, it was still quiet, and I put the glasses back into the cabinet, and poured my water, right as I but the jug back into the refrigerator and turned around, two tight arms rapped around me, causing me to spill my water all over the floor and me.

"Eli!" I whispered harshly "You are a terrible sneaker" he said spinning me around looking at me in the dark. "What are you doing" I whispered again, "I'm here to tell you that I talked to your mom, and she said you could stay with me until she can move back to Toronto" he said letting me go from his embrace, "really-" was all I could get to come out, why did I act so stubborn. "My dad is going to get some of your things, and were going to drive back today" he said glancing at the oven clock, it was about 6:00 am. "Oh" was all I could say, "Now that you're up, what should we do?" he said, glancing around the room, "well, we could watch a movie" I said hoping they had twilight, "ok blue eyes" he said holding my hand and guiding me to the living room.

"What movie do you want to watch?" he said looking through the DVD's "twilight" I said, he stopped their and looked at me, "no way" he said pulling out Carrie. "No horror movies, just twilight" I said picking up the DVD cover, and handing it to him, "Is It scary at all?" he said with a questionable look on his face, "well I can never watch the fight scene at the end" I said hoping he would go for it, "fine but this is the only time I'm watching it" he said pulling the DVD out of the case and putting into the player.

Forty minutes into the movie, Eli groaned when ever Edward said he could barley resist killing Bella, I started to drift asleep when they were in the meadow, but as soon as I heard the fight scene starting it woke me up, I jumped whenever it showed blood, "Clare, the vampires are handling the blood better than you" Eli said when I flinched, he pulled me closer and kissed the top of my head every time I covered my eyes, "very funny" I said through my hands, "don't worry they're not going to hurt you, I would never let that happen, I love you too much" he said moving my hands from my eyes and staring at me. "Good, but vampires are very fast."

As the movie started to replay I started drifting to sleep again.

"Don't make me change my mind" I heard my moms voice over me, I looked up I was practically lying on Eli. "Oh sorry we were watching a movie-" I said but Eli interrupted me "I respect your daughter, Mrs. Edwards" he said, my mom smiled at him and walked away.

As I walked into the kitchen where my mom and Marissa where sitting, "good morning Clare" Marissa said, she looks familiar maybe one of my moms church fundraiser friends, "hi" I said shyly wondering if she knew about the closet, "so is my closet floor comfortable?" she asked laughing into her coffee. "I'm really sorry about that-" I began to explain, "its ok Clare we all have our moments" she said as Eli walked in and sat next to me. "Good morning Eli" my mom properly greeted him, "good morning Mrs. Edwards" he said. He turned towards me, "today's moving day" he said thrilled, "I guess it is" I said back.

After I took a shower, and Marissa gave me some of her daughter's old clothes, and I picked out a red shirt for Eli out of her sons clothes, hoping he wouldn't mind. I gave my mom a hug good-bye and she whispered "pure hearts wait" ever so lightly in my ear. As Eli and I were walking to his hearse my mom was waving, and crying, I was going to miss her so much, but at least now I know she's safe.

As Eli pulled out of the small neighborhood and on to the highway he could tell I was nervous, I had never met his parents before, now I'm going to live with them. "Clare don't be nervous my parents don't bite" he said, probably making fun of my favorite movie, "if know, I know, stop dissing twilight you know you loved it" I said laughing "no I did not, Edward should have melted in the sun not sparkled" he said enjoying himself, as we talked back and forth about twilight, and what he thought was wrong with it, before I knew it we were thirty minutes away from Toronto, "are you still nervous?" he asked, as he pulled off the highway, "a little bit, what if they don't like me?" I said getting more nervous as we got closer, "well your going to be living with them for the next month so I hope they like you" he said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, Eli was speeding again, which just made us get there faster.

As Eli pulled on to his street, I could barley sit still "It's ok Clare" he reassured me many times by now. but by now he was already slowing down to pull into his driveway, as he parked in front of his house, I was surprised it wasn't a huge manor, like in horror movies, it actually looked mostly like my house accept older and darker. "What did you expect?" he asked as I realized I was staring "a Goth manor?" he said opening his door to come open mine, "Clare what can I do to calm you down" he said as he realized I was shaking a little bit, "nothing" I stuttered, "really?" he said turning me from his house and towards him, "lets just see about that" he said as he kissed me, then he pulled away, "Clare I love you more than I could ever love anybody" he said as he put his arm around my shoulder well he did clam my nerves for about three seconds, as we walked up the stairs, before he opened the door he started massaging my shoulder with his left hand. That was the only thing keeping me relatively calm.
