I walked in the Uley house. It was obvious I'd been drinking, if you couldn't tell by my stumbling then you could tell by the smell. I smelled like a cider bottle. Ughh. I twiddled with the small bracelet on my arm, Quil had given me it. It was delicate and silver with a wolf, how ironic, a shoe, a lock, a key and a little square piece of silver with the inscription 'Una gota en el océano.' A drop in the ocean. I never knew what that meant up until now. I heard foot steps and I saw Sam was there with Aunt Emily.
"Where have you been, Claire?" Sam asked in a strained voice.
"Drinking you idiot." I said with an anger to my tone.
"Claire, we were worried about you. You had a hard day." He said and a tear dropped down his face.
I felt guilty now, "I'm sorry." I said and walked to Sam hugging him. I turned to Aunt Emily and hugged her. She smiled at me and ushered me to my bedroom. On the bed was my pyjamas. I took the blue silk top and put it on. The shorts were black and they obviously didn't match.
I took my phone out of my bag and turned it on. 23 missed calls from Emily and Sam, 7 from Quil and a message from him:
Look, Claire, I love
you. Don't ignore me
please. I need to talk
to you. Call me,
Quil.
Something about the message made me feel upset. It wasn't right for me to feel upset that my best friend wanted to talk to me. But he wasn't just me best friend anymore. He was more. He was my soul mate. The one who I was suppose to be with forever. But I had a boyfriend Damnit!
I was thinking over what to do when I realised I was typing what I was thinking onto the phone.
Quil! I have a boyfriend!
You are my bestfriend.
Don't make me choose
Between you both! It's
not fair Quil. Let me think
please. I need to get my
head around all this
freaky shit. Imprinting and
realising everything you
thought was a myth is a lot
for one girl to take in.
Talk to you soon,
ClaireBear Xxx
I fumbled with the phone and pressed the send button, instantly regretting it. I wiped my brow at the sweat that was coming down it. I felt like I wanted to cry. It wasn't fair none of it. I put my head phones on listening to my favourite song:
A drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I'm holding you closer than most,
'Cause you are my heaven.
I don't wanna waste the weekend,
If you don't love me, pretend
A few more hours, then it's time to go.
And as my train rolls down the East coast,
I wonder how you keep warm.
It's too late to cry, too broken to move on.
Still I can't let you be,
Most nights I hardly sleep.
Don't take what you don't need, from me.
Just a drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I'm holding you closer than most,
'Cause you are my heaven.
Misplaced trust and old friends,
Never counting the regrets,
By the grace of God, I do not rest at all.
and New England as the leaves change;
The last excuse that I'll claim,
I was a boy who loved a woman like a little girl.
Still I can't let you be,
Most nights I hardly sleep,
Don't take what you don't need, from me.
Just a drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I'm holding you closer than most,
'Cause you are my
Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore no, no
Heaven doesn't seem far away.
Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore no, no
Heaven doesn't seem far away.
aooo
aooo
A drop in the ocean,
A change in the weather,
I was praying that you and me might end up together.
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,
But I'm holding you closer than most,
'Cause you are my heaven.
You are my heaven
This song basically was me and Quil. It went through what we felt for eachother, that we wanted to be together, that he had loved me since I was little and it described our love. Then the song's title hit me.
A drop in the ocean… The same as on my bracelet…
