Hmm… in the last chapter they got shot. GASP! Who did it? I don't know. Read, and find out.
OOO
Chapter 6- Poison
OOO
Beep … Beep … Beep
Everything was blurry; I didn't know what was happening.
"Someone get her an oxygen tube, we're losing her."
"What's going on…?"
Beep … Beep … Beep.
"Hun, you're going to have to stay calm. Everything is going to be alright. Just stay calm."
I looked to my left, only to see Clare, with a doctor pulling an oxygen tube over her mouth. The doctor moved slightly over, and that's when I saw the pool of blood forming around her chest and stomach, her chest barley moving up and down from the loss of breaths. My heart shredded at the sight of Clare… my Clare in this condition.
I looked back up at the ceiling and down at my chest. A doctor was holding a towel on my chest, putting pressure down on it. Blood forming around the area made me feel like passing out. What happened? I don't know. All I remember is seeing someone, standing behind Clare with a gun. They mumbled something, but before I could comprehend what they were saying, I already blacked out
Beep … Beep … Beep.
What was that annoying sound? I looked over to my left again, seeing Clare's heart monitor, her heart was beating, but not the normal speed. A nerve shocked through my body, making me jump up, startling the doctors. I heard them yelling, and one reached over, handing another doctor a large needle. I jumped again, feeling the intense pain in my arm calming me down. I closed my eyes, feeling like this was the end of my life. No friends, no family… no more Clare.
OOO
Beep … Beep … Beep.
My eyes shot open, looking at a blank white wall with a TV hanging from the ceiling. I heard that annoying beeping sound every second, which made me want to scream. I could hear uneven breaths coming from beside me, knowing that it was Clare. I turned my head to look at her. Her face was pale white, and makeup and tears caressed down her cheeks. Her chest was moving up and down, normally.
I closed my eyes tightly, feeling the intense pain in my chest as I sat up in the bed.
"Sir, you're going to have to lie down, you don't want to get yourself even more hurt." The nurse smiled as she checked my pulse, making sure everything was alright.
"I love you, Eli" Clare whispered, pulling back breaking the kiss.
"I love you to—" I tried to finish the sentence, but someone was behind Clare. I couldn't make out who or what it was. The person closed their eyes, and counted to three. Then, nothing, all I could hear was Clare's screams and the light sounds of her crying. Eventually, I felt her cold hand, grab mine holding it tightly. As much as I wanted to open my eyes, and call for help… I couldn't.
I closed my eyes tightly as I lied back down onto the bed, feeling the pain over come my body. The doctor exited the room, when I felt a cold hand touch mine. I jumped when I noticed Clare's deep blue, dilated eyes staring back at me.
"What happened, Eli?" She asked, her voice was low and a little hoarse.
"I don't even know. We were just… dancing and someone shot us. I don't know what happened then."
"Do you know who shot us?" Clare asked, wincing as she shifted in the bed.
"No…" I shook my head sadly and took my hand in hers. "But we are going to find the person who did this." I kissed her hand lightly and looked over into her blue eyes and smiled, leaning over and placing a light kiss on her lips, trying my best not to hurt myself anymore.
"I love you."
OOO -2 Months Later-
Soft music was playing around us as the sun was setting over the beach. Ever since the shooting Eli and I have been very protective over each other. A month after it happened, that Julia girl admitted she did it. She just came out of nowhere and turned herself in for the shooting. Eli was really shocked, but I wanted that bitch to get taught a lesson.
"Hopefully we won't get interrupted this time." I laughed nervously looking up at him. He placed a soft kiss on my forehead.
"Nothing is going to happen, I promise." We spun in tiny circles around the sand, letting the small gravel find its way between our toes. Eli stepped closer to me, which I thought was nearly impossible. He smiled down at me as I lifted up, placing a small kiss on his lips. His lips felt so perfectly on mine, like they were meant to be kissed by me, and no one else. I smiled in the kiss, breaking it and looked down at our feet.
"This is the best night ever. I'm so glad I came here this summer."
"Me too, Clare. And when we go to college together, it will be so much fun." He smiled,
"Hey, who says I'm staying here for college?" I joked, I looked up at his hurtful face.
"I think I said it, if you still want to be with me and all…" His sentence trailed off and he gave me a loving smirk. I hit his chest playfully and reached up, pecking his lips lightly.
"Do you think Julia will get out?" I asked, dreading his answer.
"She will, but she's all the way across the country. Her parents are moving her away." He whispered grabbing my hand and interlacing our fingers together.
"Oh –" I was cut off by the loud sound of thunder. I looked up at the gray sky as rain began to fall. I smiled and looked up at Eli who was deviously smirking at me.
"What?" I asked smiling at him.
Before I knew it, Eli picked me up and spun me around, his eyes never leaving mine. I laughed as he came to a stop making my laughter calm down. He didn't put me down, so I decided to wrap my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck. "You know, I've always wanted to be kissed in the rain." I whispered seductively in his ear. He smirked and pulled me back so our faces were inches away.
He smiled playfully and leaned in, placing his lips on mine. The kiss was soft and slow and his lips moved on mine. As I was getting really into the kiss, I slid my tongue on his bottom lip, hearing a moan escape his mouth. He barley opened his lips, letting me know that it was okay. Our tongues slowly moved with each other's fiercely as the rain began to pour down harder. Eli broke the kiss, making me miss the warmth of his lips against mine.
He looked up in my eyes and smiled lightly as we both tried to get our breathing at the normal rate.
"That was… amazing." He blurted out, making me laugh. I reached up pecking at his lips before looking deep into his jade eyes.
"It was wasn't it? But I need to get home, my dad will get worried." I sighed as Eli nodded his head sadly, placing me back down on the ground. My shirt fell off my shoulder and Eli's eyes immediately fell to it, looking at the scar where the bullet hit. A sad and angry expression fell to his face, making me place my hand onto his cheek.
"Eli, its okay, please just don't let it bother you. I love you, and that's all that matters. Okay?" He nodded and kissed my forehead, making me smile.
"I love you, too. We need to go." He whispered, I smiled and turned around, coming face to face with my dad.
"Dad?" I asked, he didn't like Eli's family. He would never approve of this.
"I told you to stay away from my daughter!" He yelled, making us both jump.
"I'm sorry sir, but we love each other."
My dad's face filled with anger as I stayed closely beside Eli. He charged toward Eli hitting him right in the face, making him fall to the ground… hard. "Dad! What the hell is your problem?" I screamed kneeling down next to Eli.
"I don't want you being around him! Now go home."
"No, I'm staying here. I love Eli dad, and if you can't squeeze passed the fact that we're dating, than go to hell. I never want to see you again." I looked up to see my dad's hurtful face. He looked upset and pissed at the same time.
"You live with me, dear."
"Shut up Dad! I'm no longer going to stay with you. I'm staying with Eli." I yelled helping Eli up, my dad shot him a hateful glare as he began to speak again, but I cut him off, "I am going to go home and get my things, and then I will leave with Eli. You better not say a word to us anymore." I sneered; walking passed my dad with a look like 'what the hell just happened' spread across his face.
After what just happened, I never want to see my dad's face again. Not anymore.
I stormed up the steps of my house, walking passed Marine and Jordy who were sitting on the porch. Marine called after me, but I couldn't look back. I need to get my stuff and leave.
"Honey, what are you doing?" Marine asked walking up to my doorway.
"I can't stay here with Dad anymore. I'm going to Eli's for a while." I whispered, looking up at Marine who was shooting glances between Eli and I.
"What do you mean, Clare. You can't just leave."
"I can too!" I yelled. "I'm 17 years old. I am not a little kid anymore; I can live for myself and make my own decisions." I raised my voice at her, making her slightly jump. I gave a bag to Eli and walked passed Marine and down the stairs outside to the street.
OOO
"So, what do you want to do?" Eli asked pausing the movie, while grabbing a handful of popcorn.
"Well, I don't know." I smirked and leaned over to him, straddling his lap.
"Clare what are you doing?" Eli breathed out, placing his hand securely on my waist. I leaned down kissing his neck softly as I came face to face with him, our lips only inches apart.
"I was thinking," I pecked his lips. "We could start up where we left off last." I looked into his eyes which were filled with confusion. I smiled and looked down at his lips and back up at him.
Eli gently rose up and pressed his lips to mine, his lips slowly moved with mine as I placed my hands down on his chest, feeling his rapid heart beating through his shirt. I was totally pulled off guard when Eli slid his tongue lightly on my bottom lip. I slowly opened up to him as his tongue met mine. I pushed down harder into the kiss when Eli pulled back, making me whimper from the loss.
"Clare, we need to stop." He whispered, trying to gain his breathing back.
"Why?" I whispered placing a light kiss on his jaw line.
"Because, Clare. I don't want to go any farther. We're by ourselves and I don't want you to regret something and totally blame me for it." He looked me in the eyes, with a thoughtful and caring look.
"I won't blame you for anything. Besides, I didn't want to go any further with you anyway." I smiled lightly and pecked his lips as he smiled back.
"I don't want to ruin the moment or anything, but it's almost 2:00 AM, I need some sleep." He smiled as I carefully got off his lap and looked over at him. I went into the bathroom and got into my pajamas and slowly walked back into the room where Eli is going to sleep. He had the pull out bed already set up, as he laid down, not even seeing me. His back was turned toward the TV as I slowly walked over to the empty side of the bed and crawled in. I wrapped my arm around his bare waist and kissed his shoulder lightly before closing my eyes.
"Clare?"
"Shh, Eli. Go to sleep. Goodnight, I love you." I whispered before reaching up and kissing his cheek lightly.
"Goodnight Clare, I love you too."
