A/N: This chapter is literally the half way mark for "You're Not Alone"! It's sad but remember there is going to be a sequel. Umm...Warnings for this chapter is...Get a box of tissues. :3 I suck I know. But hey I'm being myself. The perfect song for this is Shattered by Trading Yesterday. I recomend you listen to it while you read this. KK. Enjoy
Chapter Sixteen-
"The Alibi that has me going."
It had been a couple of days since I saw Eli. My heart was impounding with scaredness. I didn't want to leave Eli. I needed to be with him. He kept my heart beating. He was the air I breathed. But if I kept going on with this idiotic scam "X" would only hurt the ones I loved. And that would kill me even more.
I bounced off of my bed and stared out the window. CeCe and Bullfrog were going on they're first date night since Eli'd been at Crodane. When CeCe hopped into the car I knew it was time for me to do what was the best thing for me...Everyone right now. Leaving.
The suitcase I came here with was just inside of my closet. I pulled it out and stuffed all of my clothes into it. I scribbled down some words on a piece of notebook paper and sat it on my bed. Then with no hesitation, pulled the suitcase all the way down stairs. I grabbed my black hoodie and exited the house, locking it right after I were outside.
I frantically tried getting the lock on the gate to open. Tears were now in my eyes. I grew with this family. But if I stayed any longer I'd be hurting them. Hopefully after I'm gone it'll be like I was never here. Eli would be with Brook and I'd be dead. I just knew it.
I was about to grab my bike but decided that it would be best if I just walked. So off I went. To meet the one who desired me most. Xavier.
And if the Goldsworthy's did forget me I'd always have a place in my heart for them. My heart was devoted to them. To Eli...

I waited outside of the abandon church Eli and Adam brought me too. It was to dark to endure the beauty of it. But I didn't need light to enjoy it. Because my sense of touch gave me everything I needed. It was easy. Just like loving someone. Loving Eli was the only thing I never regretted. I wanted to be with him so much. Like how tide needs the moon to move. He was my heart beat. My everything.
"You told me you'd stop mom! You TOLD ME!" I shrieked at the woman sitting on the living room floor. She ODed again. Like she always did.
"Clare...Honey...I'm sorry."
"If you were truly sorry there wouldn't be a psycho after me. You were to high to reject the offer. You told him he could have me for money. Do you have any idea how bad that sounds." She cried even more. I wasn't sure if it was the pain of ODing or the pain of me hating her.
"I wish I could take it all back." Her voice broke. I wasn't gonna forgive her this time. So I ran outside and left. I needed to think.
"Clare-bear. It's time." Xavier's voice said. I stood with my stuff and nodded. But instead of hugging me he threw me. My head hitting off of a rock.
"Why would you date that boy? You're mine!" I ran my hand through out my head, it was soaking with blood. Everything was a mess.
"Not now Fitz-"
"Xavier!" The only reason he changed his name was to hide from the cops. Even though they had his mug shot. Idiot.
He pulled me by my hair. Violent screams sounding. OH MERCY! Instead of throwing me though he ended up swinging me. My body hit off of a tree and I could've sworn that my bones were all broken. Whimpers escaped my mouth.
Fitz kneeled and squeezed my cheeks together, whispering in a guilt-like voice.
"You know I'll love you right? No matter what." All I could do was nodd. I didn't have the energy to speak. He picked me up and my luggage. The last thing I remember seeing before blacking out was a trunk, a car trunk, me in it and then a slam. Total darkness surrounded me.

2:32 AM. I couldn't sleep. Something told me that there was something horrible going on. I sensed it. I don't know why or how but I did. I tossed and turned in my bed. Still I was unable to go to sleep.
Brook was fastasleep. Thank god. She was going on about how me and her would be together for ever if I dumped Clare for her. Stupid.
I turned so that I was facing the door. I heard Doctors talking about something. I couldn't quite hear it because it was muffled sounding because of the metal door.
I closed my eyes to rest them But instead I was interrupted when the lights turned on. My eyes shot open to see my mom and dad crying. No Clare. What was going on? I sat up straight and asked them hesitantly were Clare was?
They handed me the note which read;
Dear Goldsworthy's,
Thank you so much for taking me in when I needed help. But now is my time to depart. I'm putting your lives in grave danger. This is the last time you'll ever hear from me. I'm sorry. It'll be like I never exisited.
I love you guys with all my heart. And Eli I'll never stop loving you.
Truly yours,
Clare
P.S. If you hear that they found my body on the news, don't be shocked. I saw it coming.
"Do y-you know what she means?" Bullfrog cried.
"Yeah." X was putting her life in danger and I needed to stop it. Right away. Before my cold heart gave out.
(End of chapter 16)
