Hey everyone! I really appreciate the amazing reviews, you guys are awesome! But I need to inform you, I will probably only update one of my stories tomorrow, so whichever one gets the most review gets the update! But 5 reviews= new ch. When I get time!

Eli's POV:

Last night sucked for Clare. I know how much she can't stand being near her parents, but I can't blame her. I mean, it's been 7 damn years since they got divorced, and they couldn't shut up and smile for one damn dinner, much less be happy for her daughter when she got engaged. They didn't even come to her freaking graduation, FROM COLLEGE! The more I think about it, the more pissed off I get. I haven't been this mad in a very long time. I just don't understand how anyone can live with hurting someone as sweet and kind and beautiful as my Clare. She is literally an angel. It's been a pretty long time since I have seen her that mad as well. I think it's time I put Clare's parents in their place and make them regret making my beautiful sweet Clare cry.

I walked over to the dresser, and 'barrowed' Clare's cell. I mean come on, I'm not stupid, I know they wouldn't respond if it came from my phone. Her parents literally hate my guts. But anyway, I grab her phone and type a text:

'Hey mom, I'm sorry about last night, can we meet for coffee? I don't want to fight, I love you! - C'

So I did feel a little bad about pretending to be Clare, but I need to do this for my girl. No one, and I mean no one gets to treat Clare as badly as they did last night, and they were gonna get hell for it. I want to make them feel shittier than they ever made Clare feel. And that was pretty damn bad. Clare's phone buzzed:

'I know, I would like to make up as well. I just hope you have come to your senses and we can discuss this rationally. - Mom'

What a bitch. I text her back and tell her to meet me at the dot in an hour, then I texted her dad. I know I wouldn't have the will power to have this conversation twice without breaking someone's jaw. And no matter how much Clare can't stand her parents, she would hate me if I hit them. Plus it's a bonus to watch them suffer being in the same room. I text her father:

'Hey daddy, sorry to disappoint you last night. Can we get coffee and talk? I love you- C'

I want to vomit at my sappy text. I swear, if it was any other girl, I would never be able to handle this family. But it was Clare, my Clare. Just that in its entirety will always be enough for me. Clare's dad texts back:

'Sure sweetheart. I'm glad you are coming to your senses. - Daddy'

Uhhhhh I hate that man. But I send him the same text I sent Helen about where to meet and what time. I delete the messages to cover my tracks. I get ready to go, the I decide to tell Clare I'm leaving. I don't think I want to tell her where I'm going though.

I walk over to the bed and rub her shoulder. Her ocean blue eyes flutter open, "Good morning," She says in her angelic morning voice.

I lean down to kiss both her eyelids, she giggles, "I'm headed out, my mom wanted to go get coffee, and you know, hear about the proposal." I inform her.

Clare smiles and sits up to stretch, "Okay, I think I'm gonna call Alli, Drew, Adam, Fiona, Dave, Wesley, and Conner, to see if they want to go to group dinner. I want to announce the engagement, if that's okay with you?" She gives me the puppy dog face, and I give in instantly.

"How could I say no to you baby blue?" I say, and Clare laughs at me, "You rhymed!" She points out.

I look around the room and bring a finger to her lips, "Shhh don't tell anyone, you'll ruin my street cred."

Clare giggles and nips my hand, "As if you have any."

Usually I would make her pay for that, but I needed to get ready, "I'll let that slide because you're so damn cute in the morning, but don't get used to it."

Clare rolls her eyes, "Fine." We kiss and I go get dressed.

As I head into the dot, I see Helen and Randal looking utterly confused and pissed off. Okay, maybe this was a bad idea, but I had to. So I put on my big boy balls and go inside, "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Edwards." I say.

"Elijah what the hell are you doing here?" Mrs. Edwards questions.

"It's Eli." I spit out hatefully.

"Did Clare bring you as a pathetic body guard?" Mr. Edwards asks, laced with as much hate as possible.

I give him a death glare, "Well Mr. and Mrs. Edwards, Clare doesn't exactly know about this. I knew you wouldn't come if I asked, so I sorta borrowed Clare's cell."

"You stole her cell phone! That's illegal!" Randal yells.

"For your information, I pay for that phone, since you are both so terrible to her; there was no way in hell she wanted to be on a family plan with you. Already one example of why I'm good for Clare, I provide for her, way more than you ever would." I say.

Helen shakes her head, "Not to be rude, but Eli why are we here, please cut to the chase. I have a meeting I need to be at in half an hour."

That was all I needed to snap, "Fine, you want it like that, well here you go. You both are the most horrible, insensitive, cold hearted people I have ever met, let alone parents! I can't believe first you miss your daughter's own fucking college graduation, and then you can't even be happy for one damn second that she is getting married! Clare has an amazing future ahead of her, and you both are being bitter hags about it! So I think you both should swallow your fucking pride for five damn minutes, call your perfect daughter, at least say congradufuckinglations! That's all I have to say!" And with that, I storm at out the dot, slightly pissed, but feeling much better. Both of them are yelling my name, but I don't turn around. All I want to do is go home, and see my girl.
