It was the last day of having Kelly and she wanted to hang out with Eli. They hung out all week and Clare stayed home and cooked and cleaned. Eli was getting ready to go out with Kelly to the Dot.
"Thank God Kelly is leaving tomorrow." Clare said, from the bed.
"She's not bad Clare."
"Of coarse you'd say that."
"What does that mean."
"Nothing, you just are always hanging out with Kelly and you guys are getting pretty comfy together."
"Clare you're been crazy. I love you, not Kelly."
"Well you don't show it!" Clare got up and left for the bathroom.
Eli went down stairs to talk to Kelly.
"Hey Eli. Ready?"
"No. I don't think we should go out today and you should pack up and go now."
"What? Why?"
"Clare is having some problems and I think you should go so I can talk to her."
"Eli does she think I like you?"
"Yeah. So, could you just call the apartment place and move in today?"
"Sure." Kelly kissed Eli on the cheek. Not knowing that Clare saw.
Once Kelly was gone. Eli went up to the bedroom and knocked on the door. Clare didn't answer so he went in. she was crying on the bed. Eli sat beside her and rubbed her back.
"Clare? Kelly is gone."
"Good. Now you can kiss at her house."
"What? Kiss? Why would I kiss Kelly?"
"I saw you two."
"She kissed me on the cheek to say good bye."
"And you kissed Lisa to say good luck. What's wrong with words?"
"Clare I don't know why you react to these things before you know what happened."
"Eli it doesn't matter that I reacted to quickly! It's that you kiss or let girls kiss you, and I see them and I feel like you and I will never work out!" Clare began to cry more.
"Clare, I love you and we will always be together."
"Yeah, right."
Clare got up and left the house walking towards Fiona's house. Eli caught up with her and held her like he did last time she ran away.
"Clare you can't keep leaving the house every time we fight!"
"Eli, I don't want to leave the house every time we fight! I want to leave all the time! I just want to get out of that house and... I'm sorry, but I want to get away from you!"
"Why?"
"Because I feel that I'm not welcomed there and that that we're going to fight, because that's all we do now."
"Clare. I'll take you to Fiona's and you can stay there for the night, but then can we talk tomorrow."
Clare nodded and walked with Eli to Fiona's house.
