I woke up in tons of pain. Eli had his arm around my waist and I was on my side, still sleepy. I looked around and noticed an air mattress at the foot of the bed and someone apparently sleeping on it, but I don't know who. I watched as the person turned around and it was none other than my Lily. I wanted to scream in excitement, but soon remembered everyone was sleeping. Eli rolled over on to his back, gripped my shirt, and pulled me so I was on his chest. I giggled a little, yawned, and went back to sleep to the sound of Eli's heartbeat.
"Mmm" I groaned as Eli stretched under me, I could see light through my eyelids as I kept them closed.
"Morning beautiful." he whispered
"Mmhmm" I replied, my eyes still closed.
Eli chuckled a little and I looked up at him, the light caused me to squint my eyes a little.
"How did you get Lily here?" I asked in a whisper remembering she's still sleeping.
"My parents."
"Keep going because I know she put up a fight and your parents let her stay?"
"She did put up a fight, my parents called and I made you move, you sound so cute when you whimper in your sleep." Eli chuckled the last part as he turned towards me making me move off his chest, I blushed. "You look so cute when you blush."
I felt my face heating up more making me blush what I assume is a deep shade of red. Eli chuckled and I buried my face in his shirt.
"What did I whimper?"
"You whimpered 'Mmm Eli let me sleep, I'm tired' into the phone so Lily heard you."
"And that alone convinced her?" I asked with a raised eyebrow
"Nope, but I sent her a picture of you sleeping, then one of my parents and I, then my parents had to show their ID."
I laughed "That's my Lily."
"And I'm your Eli."
"Which means I'm yours and Lily's Clare." I stated
Eli shook his head "Hn, I don't share."
I hit Eli's arm playfully. "Eli, Lily and I are both straight you know this."
"I know, but I still don't like sharing."
I rolled my eyes at him.
"How are you feeling?" Eli asked as he moved causing me to groan in pain. "That good eh?"
"I've been better." I giggled
"I'll go get your pain medicine." Eli stated
I tried to sit up on my own with no avail. I turned to my back and just laid there.
"Hey you." Lily said as she made her way to me.
"Hey to you too." I said softly
Lily sat next to me on Eli's side of the bed.
"Wanna sit?"
"Yea, but I'd need help." I said softly
Lily helped me to sit up, I let my head rest on her shoulder.
"tell me honestly, how did this happen? You better not lie to me Clare."
I nodded and stayed silent for a moment thinking of what to say.
"My dad got pissed." I mumbled
"He hit you?" Lily exclaimed
"And kicked." I said softly
Lily turned to me and hugged me gently, I hugged her back.
"Can we talk about something other than my dad?" I asked softly
"So you've got a boyfriend now."
I nodded "He's amazing, we've been dating for a few days, but we've talked a lot."
"You've become quite attached to him which is good you needed to open up to someone."
"I'm still afraid of getting hurt." I said
"If he hurts you I'll kill him." Lily joked…I hope "I don't think he'll hurt you though, he seems to care about you a lot."
I nodded
"Hey Blue Eyes, I got your pain killers and some water." Eli said as he entered the room.
"Thank you." I smiled, Eli smiled back and sat on the foot of the bed
He handed me my medicine and some water, I took my pills as he watched. After I finished he smiled and Lily put the empty glass on his night stand.
"Sorry I took so long mom's awake and breakfast should be ready soon." Eli said
I tried to get out of bed on my own, but Eli didn't let me.
"Need any help?" Lily asked
"Um I think Clare's wheelchair would be too heavy for you to carry." Eli stated looking at Lily
"Eli I have to get dressed first." I giggled
Eli rolled his eyes and walked to the dresser.
"What do you want to wear?" He asked kneeling down in front of a drawer
"Sweats and a baggy shirt."
Lily got her clothes as Eli got mine and she got dressed in the bathroom.
Eli handed me my clothes then graciously turned around as I started to get changed.
"Let me know if you need help."
"I will."
I changed into my sweat pants, took off my shirt, unfolded one that Eli gave me, put it on, and noticed it was his Dead Hand band tee.
Lily stepped out of the bathroom when I had just pulled the shirt down. She had on black skull printed sweat pants, and a black shirt with a big skull on it to match as well as black and white arm warmers.
"Um Eli there's a small problem." I said
Eli turned around and looked at me confused.
"It's short sleeves."
Before Eli could say anything Lily threw a pair of plain black arm warmers at me.
"Thanks babe." I told her as I slipped them on.
"Hey Love?" Lily chimed in question form
I looked over to her "Hm?"
"How will we get to church tomorrow?" Lily inquired solemnly
"Oh no, not you too." Eli mumbled
"I didn't quite think of that." I answered Lily
She nodded then turned her attention to Eli. "Wait can't you take us to church?"
"That's right Eli, you can drop us off and I'll call you when it's over." I exclaimed.
"If I have to." he sighed
"Don't you go to church too?" Lily questioned with her head tilted to the side
"Um, Eli's atheist." I giggled
"Wait Lily does that mean you have a purity ring too?" Eli asked
"On my hand all the time." Lily stated as she held up her hand which had tons of rings upon it.
I rolled my eyes. "Her purity ring in black it says 'True Love Waits' in grey while mine says 'Pure Hearts Wait' and hers has diamonds around it well except for in the words." I explained
"See" Lily said getting up and showing Eli her ring.
"I see." Eli said looking at her ring.
"I have a bible too." Lily said as excitement filled her voice.
Lily held up her bible, I rolled my eyes when I seen it, while Eli chuckled.
"Lily I can't believe you have a sticker of a white heart, outlined in black, with black angel wing, and an x going through the right side of it on the corner of your bible."
"Well I liked the sticker."
"Time for breakfast!" CeCe yelled
"I'll get Clare's chair." Lily stated
Before Eli could say something Lily had already left the room with it.
"You can bring Clare down now." Lily yelled moments later
I was shocked that Lily didn't need any help with the chair. Eli picked me up bridal style and carried me down the steps, my chair was already unfolded so all he had to do was sit me in it.
"Thank you for helping me Bullfrog." Lily said as Eli sat me in the chair.
"It was nothing." he replied
"That explains a lot." I whispered
Eli smirked, then pushed me to the table.
"So I have good news for you three." CeCe stated
"Really?" Eli asked
CeCe nodded. "Last night I couldn't sleep so I fixed up the den and made it into a bedroom now you three can sleep down here."
"Thank you for everything CeCe." I said
"You're welcome, we're always happy to help." CeCe replied
"Especially if it's Eli's girlfriend and it's about time we got another girl into Eli's room."
"Dad, Julia and I were just friends nothing else, she had a boyfriend remember."
"Son as I recall she liked you."
"But dad I didn't like her she was nothing more than my best friend like Adam."
"Speaking of Adam, does he know Clare's here?" CeCe asked.
"No he doesn't we haven't talked since yesterday before Clare and I left school." Eli replied
The rest of breakfast was basically talking about how we all were doing, thanking CeCe and Bullfrog a lot for letting Lily and I stay, moving into the new room which surprisingly is bigger than Eli's, and just about school.
After dinner Eli and Lily bought everything down to the first floor bedroom, then I unpacked it. The room has two dressers and a queen size bed which came from the basement, we're really lucky CeCe likes to save furniture. Lily's bed again was an air mattress, but CeCe said that's until she finds a twin sized bed.
I know what you're probably thinking "Why is Lily staying with Eli and I right?" Simply because she's afraid something will happen to me and she's afraid to sleep by herself in a place she's not used to.
Lily turned on the radio after she carried her bags into the room, she put in her CD, and closed the door as we unpacked. I giggled.
Lily started to sway to the music as she unpacked her things. Her and I didn't share the same taste in music she hates everything besides Christian rock and I loved almost everything.
"Think Eli will mind Flyleaf?" Lily asked
"Um it's already on so I don't think you gave him a choice." I giggled
"Who's this I like the beat?" Eli asked as he entered the room with a few boxes. Lily and I started to giggle.
Before Lily and I could say anything the chorus came on.
"Do you believe in God written on the bullet and Cassie pulled the trigger."
"I'm sorry I don't believe in God." Eli chuckled at the radio.
I rolled my eyes.
"Eli you're going to hell." Lily giggled as Eli walked over to me.
"I know." He smirked
I looked up at Eli as he put a box down and knelt besides me.
"More things?" I asked
"The last of it. I'm going to start filling up the bottom drawers." Eli replied
I nodded, then Eli leaned in and kissed me, after a few minutes we pulled apart and began unpacking again.
Once we finished unpacking there was a knock at the door.
"Don't worry my mom will get it." Eli said as we continued to listen to Flyleaf.
"Ok, Lily do you mind if I put on something different?" I asked
"No of course not."
I wheeled myself to one of the shelves that held my CD binder, put it in my lap, took out Mayday Parade, and handed it to Eli.
"Can you put this in the radio?" I asked looking between Eli and the radio that sat on a high shelf above the desk.
"No problem."
I watched as Eli looked at the CD I handed him.
"Nice choice in music." Eli complimented
"Thank you."
Eli switched CDs and the song Misery At Best came on.
"Clare oh my god are you ok?" Adam asked running to me
"Adam I'm fine, Eli's been taking care of me." I giggled as he knelt down and hugged me.
I hugged him back, Adam examined the room after I let him go.
"Adam meet Lily, Lily meet Adam." I said
"Nice to meet you." Lily greeted
"Wow a British accent, you'll be able to make friends easily." Adam said
"Actually I'm not really here to make friends with people that aren't friends with Clare bear, so the only friends I have besides Clare are you and Eli." Lily stated in a soft tone.
"Sorry Adam she can be really blunt and sometimes not realize it." I apologized for her.
"Well it's true I don't really want that many friends, you, Adam, and Eli are all that I need right now, plus we have to worry about Josh." Lily explained
"Thank you for putting that better." I said
"You're welcome."
"So what are we doing tomorrow?" Adam asked
"Well the girls have church." Eli said as he sat on the bed.
"Eli I didn't know you owned this CD." Adam exclaimed
"I don't Clare does." Eli chuckled
"So what are we going to do?" Lily asked as she sat on her air mattress
"I bought Clare's video games I can hook them up if you wan?" Eli asked
"Sure that sounds fine." Lily replied
"I'm game as long as we have snacks." Adam said rubbing his belly.
Eli rolled his eyes. "You know where the kitchen is."
"So what game are we playing?" I asked as I watched Eli hook up one of my game counsels and Adam left for food.
"Not sure, we'll wait for Adam."
The rest of the time was spent playing games and eating snacks. Adam stayed for dinner and my parents texted saying they're taking Lily and I to church tomorrow.
"My parents are taking us to church." I stated as we ate ice cream.
"Are you sure you'll be ok Clare?" Eli asked
"Well Lily and I would run into them while we're there so there's not use in avoiding them." I stated
"Plus I'll be there too." Lily added
"Clare call if you need me." Eli said as he grabbed my hand under the table and gave it a gentle squeeze
"I will I promise." I smiled
Eli kissed my cheek as we continued to eat ice cream.
Adam ended up staying the night and we played video games until ten, then we all got ready for bed, and went to sleep.
