Chapter Six-

"Confrontation is the key"

My lips grew on hers even more. Causing the kiss to become deeper and much more painful. Part of me felt like I'd been waiting forever for this to happen. Since the day she walked into my life I knew that there was more to me than the fatal side I had been showing. I had been showing darkness and helplesness. It pained my family. I needed someone to finally change me. This was the path.

Clare's hands went to the back of my neck and she started to lightly pull at my locks. A moan crept up from my throat and out into the open.

It was different with Clare. The pain I felt was good-I guess- It was a pain that made left me happy, yet mad. Like I wasn't good enough for her.

...My own worst enemy...

I pulled her closer to me, my tongue entering her mouth beckoning her to kiss me back. She soon found the hint and kissed back. It felt like all my dreams and wishes have come true. But knew the nightmare was just beginning.

As we got more intimate an interuption was made. It caused the two of us to pull apart gasping for air.

"Eli! Clare! We're home now!" CeCe called.

I hesitated to answer. I licked my lips and began.

"Okay!" Clare's legs walked back to her bed and she sat. An awkward glance went in between of us.

"I should...Go." I turned my attention to the door, waiting to hear a response. Nothing. The only sound was sobs coming from her. What now? I thought.

"Clare? Please tell me what's wrong." Her face fell and she covered it by placing her hands over her face. My vision danced as the bruises came back into effect. I needed to know the truth.

"I...I afraid." She made another whimper and cried again. My insides ached hearing how upset she was. It was sickening. I walked over to her and wrapped my arms around her. Enduring the scent of her skin. She smelt so good.

"About what?"

"I'm afraid that if I get to close with the ones I love that they'll..-" She paused so that she could cry. "They'll get hurt." The ones she loved? As in us.

"Why? Did that happen with your parents? Is that what happened." She shrugged.

"Could we please get off the subject?" I nodded. My black hair bouncing with every motion.

"Yea...Besides I need to go take a shower. You should...ah...You should get some rest."

I wanted to know more. I really did. I wanted to be inside her mind. Know all her feelings. Know her past. But it would kill me. I'd go back to Crodane.

I got up and left her room, heading into the bathroom and unchanging. I'll overcome me.

I'll over come my own worst enemy...

Did we just? It was real! But why couldn't I open up? I felt a connection toward him. I felt as if I possibly loved him...

Like I was his star and he was my sky. But I still couldn't open up to him. I was to afraid. To scared. Like if I were to tell him about Xavier...He'd do something he'd regret. Something like kill.

After I got over what had just went on a minute ago I opened my laptop and went on Facerange. I had a new message.

I rolled the curser over the new message and clicked. The screen was loading which caused me to become inpatient. When it finally loaded my eyes became enraged with the message and who it was from.

Clare,

Oh baby... You didn't think I couldn't find you now did you? I'm still yours! Don't you still have the bruises and scars I gave to you? If not I'd be happy to give the, back to you. I loved the shrieks you made. Love you and can't wait to see you soon.

Yours Truly,

X

I started to clutch my sheets and screamed loud. I wasn't his. The only one I wanted to be with was the man living just down the hall.

Elijah Goldsworthy..

My eyes became blurry and I soon found myself in a sudden black out. I had fainted.

...

"Clare honey... Are you awake?" A frisky voice asked. I zoned into where I was and noticed a strange beeping sound coming from just the right of me. I was in a hospital bed.

"She's Awake!" He yelled excitedly. My eyes fluttered and saw Eli motionless in a corner. His hair was all messed up and looked like he hadn't slept for a week. His breathing hitched when I sat up straight so I could see everyone.

"Clare honey. We found you passed out on your bedroom floor. Do you remember anything?" CeCe notified. All I could do was stare off into space. I didn't remember anything. Only that I was on my laptop when...When "X" wrote to me. I didn't want to tell them anything about my past. I'd put their lives indanger and possibly even Eli's.

"N-No...Hm...I don't remember anything."

"Okay, the doctors have been running tests to see if you have any diseases or health problems that we should know about. We'll be back in a little bit to pick you up. Okay?" My vision became blurry from the tears brewing in my eyes. So I just nodded so she couldn't hear any shakeness in my voice.

"Eli, why don't you keep Clare-bear companied? I'm sure she'd like that." And there it was. The same old Eli that I first met the day I came. He had on a face that told me that he must hate me even more. Maybe that kiss wasn't such a good idea. Then again, it was his fault.

Once CeCe and Bullfrog left Eli sat down on one of the hospitalized seats for visiters and sighed obnoxiously. What was his problem? What happened? What happened to our moment?

"Eli why are you acting like a jerk towards me?" His eyes glared down and never looked up once. Somethings up.

I shifted on the bed so I could get a good view of him.

He looked cuter than ever. Even though his hair was messed up it made me just want to jump right on him and smother him in ways I never would think were possible.

"We shouldn't talk...Anymore." He budged out. My entire body sank and I wanted an explanation. He was bipoloar. One day his hot the next he's cold. It drove my sanity right out of me.

"Why? What about what happened just earlier." He got up and approached the bed. His eyes seeping into my soul. He was damaged. That's all I could see through him. Like his past was worse than mine.

"Nothing ever happened! Okay? I don't like you. I don't like anyone. Just remember that!"

"ELI! I care about you! Ever since the day I walked through your door. I feel like you can save me from myself-" He interrupted me by flashing his pointer finger at him.

"The only one that needs saving is me. I don't love you...And never will."
