Ok soo i broke my foot...that's why i didn't update, i also had a huge science project to do. But hopefully this will make up for the late update!

Clare's P.O.V

I woke up with someone's arm around my waist. I started to panic, not knowing who was in my bed, laying next to ME. I turned around slowly trying not to wake him. Relief washed over me but was suddenly replaced with confusion when I seen that it was Eli. Then I remembered why he was here. K.C was here yelling at me, I got mad, he slapped me, Cece and Bullfrog helped me, Eli came over, I asked him to stay over. A lot of drama in one day, I must say.

I took a look at the my alarm clock. It was only 6 am arghhh! So I rolled onto my stomach and in an instant sleep took over.

FOUR HOURS LATER...

I hears feet shuffling from a distance. I figured it was Eli leaving. But I never heard a door closed, only the fire alarm ringing. Panicking I rushed dowstairs to find Eli trying to reach the off button. I guess the toast he was toasting burnt 'cause I seen two black pieces of toast. I started to laugh and but didn't realize that the alarm was now off. Eli turned around and looked down in embaressment.

"Yeah, yeah laugh it up!" He joked.

"How did you manage to burn toast so badly that they look like to flat pieces of coal?" I say between laughs.

"I don't know actually, I put them in and then decided to watch T.V-" "Wait what you watched T.V good thinking genius." I laugh.

"Ya I will admit that was pretty stupid." I nod.

"How about I make some pancakes?" I smile and he nods and asks. "Want me to help?" I guess he seen the look on my face quickly changed his mind "Or I can just go take a shower."

"You know where the bathroom is." He nods and goes to take a shower.

I decide on making chocolate chip pancakes, since they are mine and Eli's favorite.

Eli's P.O.V

I came out of the bathroom and I was suddenly hit with a scent of chocolate chip pancakes. I huge grin spread on my face, yummm , she knows me so well. That makes me fall for her even more. I have to put those feelings aside for a month or so, well as long as Clare needs to forget about about that scum bag K.C.

I go to kitchen to indulge in some of the best pancakes ever. I see Clare stacking 5 onto the plate im guessing is mine and two on hers. I sat down and thank her.

She said "Your welcome. So what are we going to do today?"

"How about we go to the park. We haven't been there in awhile. Last time I went there I seen K.C so I didn't really get to enjoy my time there." I smirked but I was still mad about the whole thing. What kind of monster hits a girl especially sweet inoccent Clare. She is so thoughfull, generous, beautiful, nice, pretty, did I mention THE most beautiful human being that I have ever layed eyes on. I was getting mad thinking about ANYONE laying a hand on her.

"Eli when are leaving? Are you okay? ELI!" I turned my head to see her all dressed and ready to go. Was I really thinking about K.C and Clare for that long?

"Sorry what? I wasn't paying attention."

"I said...When are we leaving?" She asked.

" Now, but can we walk to my house first I need to change. My mom probably wants to see how you are doing."

"Sure I need to thank her and Bullfrog again."

AT ELI'S HOUSE...

Clare's P.O.V

Cece and I were talking when she said something that surprised me.

"Eli really cares about you, you know? He was a wreck when he found out that K.C had hurt you. We were talking for awhile on the phone when you were asleep and he was so sad and angry at K.C and that you had not told him that he was hurting you." She said sadly.

"I am so sorry Cece, I was afraid that it would make things worst. I care about Eli so much, probably more than he cares about me. I felt so sorry for him when Julia cheated on him with Fitz, remember I would sleep at your house almost every night trying to comfort him."

"Yeah I remember, but I can assure you that Eli cares as much as you care about him dear." She said.

We both hear footsteps going down the stairs. I turn around and see Eli putting his leather jacket on.

"Ready?" I asks.

"Yeah lets go!" I get up and walk to the door. Eli and I start walking to the park. I hook our arms together, he looks at me and smiles. Yes I just said a smile NOT a smirk. I smile back at him and continue to walk towards the park.

When we get to the park we both walk to a random tree. Eli sits infront of the tree, and I lay down with my leg crossed on top of the other.

Eli's P.O.V

I was looking at Clare in awe. Her eyes were so beautiful in the sun. Her hair was so perfectly curled. I honestly think that I love her, it sucks though! I am trying so hard not to tell her that, I don't deserve her, frankly no one does. But I would treat her like she is a princess.

My thoughts were interrupted when Clare asked me a question.

"Eli do you ever think about Julia?" She asked.

"Honestly no I don't. I still can't believe that she cheated on me with my own cousin but I can't change the past. Why?"

"Because you never talk about her. And Eli Julia never deserved you. You are the nicest most thoughtful person that anyone could ever have as a best friend." She said in the most serious tone.

"I could say the same for you. K.C never deserved you, honestly I don't think any guy could ever deserve you." I said looking away.

"Eli I am not that special, I am Saint Clare, the nerd, deffinetly not beautiful. Every guy could do better. So it's more like I don't deserve them not that they don't deserve me." Clare said in a sad tone.

"Why would you think that Clare! You are most deffinetly not a nerd. And you are probably the most beautiful girl that I have ever layed eyes on, and it makes me angry to think that you aren't beautiful. Don't say that about yourself." I said. I looked back at Clare and seen her sitting up, with a huge smile on her face and a couple tears in her eyes, one of the rolled down her cheek.

"Eli you really think I am that beautiful?" I nod. She gets up and starts walking towards me, she sits down next to me and pulls me into a very tight hug.

"I really do think that Clare." I said.

"Eli?"

"Yeah?"

"I can think of one guy that deserves me." She whispers into my ear.

"And who might that be?" I asked curiously.

"You."
