I watched as Fitz was pulled out of the house, and Eli was taken out of my grasp. I went to protest, but another officer stepped into my way, preventing me from doing so.
"Alright miss, tell me what happened here." He asked calmly. I watched as Eli and Fitz were both led out of the house and hand cuffed. They were guarded by two policemen, still having a hard grasp on their arms, preventing both of them from moving. They made their way to the cop car, the one that was currently in my driveway outside.
I sighed, and looked at the waiting officer in front of me.
"Fitz the tall boy right there," I pointed to Fitz, "wanted me dead, because I wanted to break up with him. He gets jealous easily and didn't want me to be around other guys, he wanted me for himself. He's um, very over protective." I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I reopened them and saw other officers picking up the gun that was on the floor. "So he got that gun, and planned to shoot me. But while he was ranting on about something, Eli there," I pointed out Eli, who was staring at me intensively. I smiled a small smile at him, and he smirked back. "He took the gun without Fitz realizing it, and took out the bullets. When Fitz tried to shoot me, he got even more angered and punched me, causing this," I pointed to my cheek and eye, "And then Eli came out of hiding from Fitz, and pulled him off of me. He then punched Fitz and that is when you guys came."
He nodded and walked out my doorway, and over to Eli. I tagged along behind him.
"So, what's your point of view on what happened, Mr. Goldsworthy?" he asked Eli
"Well, uh... I followed them home from school because I noticed Fitz being very mean to her lately. And I had a bad feeling, and when I came here I peeked in the window and noticed that he was pinning her to a wall with a gun in his hands. So while he was talking to her, he threw the gun onto the couch, and without him noticing, I took out the bullets and when Fitz noticed the bullets were gone, he punched her, causing her to bleed and I didn't like that, so I pulled him away and well..." he paused and smirked. "You saw the rest." he chuckled. "I was only protecting Clare." he finished in a serious tone.
The officer nodded and stated, "Well, it seems that you were only protecting her from harm. If you hadn't done what you did, things could've gone differently. So, you're free to go." he smiled. "Luke, you can release him now." he directed to the cop that was holding onto Eli.
Luke smiled and released Eli, who immediately stood next to me. He went to wrap his arms around me, and just as I was about to welcome his waiting embrace,
"Clare!"
I turned and noticed my mom's car pulling up; she tuned off the ignition quickly and jumped out of the car. She looked around and noticed my eye, and Fitz.
"What's going on here?" She gasped. She walked up to me and put her hand on my cheek, causing it to sting.
I winced and Eli gave me a look, and smiled sadly. I watched as he left my side and walked over to Alli and Adam, leaving me alone with my mother.
"Clare?" She asked again, more softly
I sighed and explained the whole scenario, again. She gasped, and covered her mouth when I told her what happened not too long ago, she pulled me into an embrace, and hugged me tightly.
"I wish I didn't have to…but there's the divorce final paper in Florida . I just came home to remind you. My flight leaves soon." She was sobbing silently.
I sighed as I remembered the talk we had after they came home from that 2 day trip. Like I had predicted, they wanted a divorce, and the lawyer my mom wanted was in Florida , which caused another fight to come upon the household, but my dad soon gave in to her.
She sighed, and sniffled. "I had no idea Clare, I'm so sorry!"
I felt the tears weld in my eyes, but I held them in, for the sake of my mother.
"It's okay mom. I'm fine now." I sighed.
She released me from the hug and looked into my eyes. "Is there someone that could stay with you?" She asked softly.
I looked over at Alli, Adam, and Eli. Eli was gesturing to the house, while Alli and Adam stood there dumbfounded. Then Alli broke down and hugged onto Adam. Eli put a hand on the shoulder and motioned his head to Adam. He nodded and pulled Alli along the sidewalk, heading in the opposite direction of my house.
Eli headed back over to me, and I closed my eyes. "Yeah… I think Eli would be willing to stay with me."
She smiled, and nodded slowly, wiping the little tears that were escaping her eyes.
"Alright then, I'll see you soon honey." She smiled, and gave me a quick hug. When I was released from her grasp, she hoped back into her car, and drove away.
That's it? She's not going to question why another boy is going to go in our house, one she hasn't met.
I felt arms around me, and I smiled as I saw they were Eli's. I turned my gaze from the headlights of my mom's car, which was not out of view, and looked over the scene.
I noticed Fitz was still standing by the cop car, with the officer still holding tightly onto him. I looked into my house saw the rest of the cops pile out. The main one, nodded his head in Fitz direction, and I felt a sigh of relief escape my lips when Fitz was being escorted into the cop cars.
The main officer went up to Fitz and told him, "You are being arrested for position of a gun without a license, and attempted murder."
I felt Eli tense up next to me, and I saw a look of realization on Fitz face.
Eli was glaring intensely at Fitz, as Fitz glared at me. Then he turned his attention to Eli, and softened his eyes a little bit. He then got a saddened expression on his face, but it disappeared quickly and was replaced by utter confusion. He looked around outside of the vehicle and widened his eyes; he pressed his hand up to his nose and winced slightly.
Confusion erupted as I focused on why Fitz looked so confused, but when I turned to Eli; Fitz was erased from my mind.
He was barely even touched, just had a couple scratch marks on his face. I chuckled lightly at him, which caused him to turn his gaze at me. He smirked, and questioned, "What?"
"Nothing" I smiled, just as a paramedic came over to us. She pulled me aside and set me on the stretcher as she worked on my cheek and eye. I closed my eyes for a brief moment and when I opened them, I saw Eli was out of my view. The paramedic put a bandage up my cheek and released me. I hoped off the stretcher in search for Eli and saw him leaned up on the other side of the ambulance. I smiled softly and made my way over to him. He immediately saw me, and smirks at my presence. I lean on the ambulance with him, and sigh.
"Where did Adam and Alli go?" I asked.
"I told Adam to walk Alli home; she was pretty… uh… dramatic."
I nodded and watched as the scene died down and the cops and paramedics came piled into their vehicles.
Eli and I lifted ourselves off of the ambulance, and watched as they sped away.
"I've finally had enough of him…" I whispered.
Eli took my hand, and squeezed it softly, "He's gone now. You can start a new life with him finally out of the picture."
I smiled a little at the thought, and averted my eyes to the ground.
"Can you um…" I trailed off.
"Can I what?" He asked, smirking.
I rolled my eyes, "Can you stay for a while?" I asked, surprised by my sudden boldness.
Eli's smirk grew wider as I looked back up at him. He nodded his head in the direction of my door, and I smiled.
I lead the way in, and as soon as Eli stepped into the living room, he tensed up. I closed the door slowly, and looked at Eli suspiciously. "Are you okay?" I asked him, walking towards him.
He turned to look at me, and smiled softly. "Yeah, it's all good."
An awkward silence came upon us, and I couldn't help but ask the one question that I've needed to know since this whole thing happened.
"How did you know?" I whispered, blinking my eyes up at him.
Eli sighed, and finally took his eyes off elsewhere and looked at me. "Clare, when we were working together these past few weeks, every time I brought up Fitz, you tensed up and changed the subject quickly. I've suspected something was up ever since you told me you 'hit your head on the mailbox'. You're distant with him, and you acted like you actually hate him. And when he blew up at you today, I followed you and him here, and I saw him pull that gun out. I couldn't just let anything happen you."
"Oh." That was all I replied. But something clicked in my mind. "Wait, why do you care anyway?"
He stepped closer to me.
"Because, when I met you, you intrigued me, I couldn't just let him hurt you, the whole time during school today; I was so worried about you... When I came up to you and startled you, I was actually just keeping an eye on you then making sure Fitz wouldn't hurt you." He explained.
I backed away from him, "No," I whispered. Eli looked confused, I shook my head. "Nobody cares about me."
"Clare," Eli tried saying, but I interrupted him.
"No! Nobody cares about me! Fitz even said so. Neither does my mom and dad!" I screamed at him. "She just left me without a goodbye, just telling me that she was leaving! She didn't even care that Fitz beat me! Nobody cares! Nobody— I was caught off guard when Eli pulled his face to mine, shutting me up quickly.
He was inches away from me now, his envy green eyes intensely staring into mine, with both hands on either side of my face. I gulped and watched him with curious eyes. He looked behind me for a brief second, and then smirked.
"I care, Clare." He whispered. "If you wouldn't talk so damn much then you would know that."
I blink and he smirked one finale time before closing the gap between our lips.
As soon as our lips touched, I was in another world. It wasn't forced, but was like it was something that was meant to happen. Fitz's kisses were always forced and sloppy, and he acted like he didn't even want to, like he was being held at gunpoint, and he had to kiss me, or else.
I close my eyes slowly, and raise my hands to wrap around his neck. I gasped when he slowly glides his tongue on my bottom lip. This didn't feel like anything I've ever felt before when Fitz kissed me, his kisses didn't send an electric wave through my mouth, and down my spine like this one did, like the way Eli is kissing me now.
My mind was blank; there was nothing on this planet, except Eli and me. He slid his hands down to my waist and rested them there. When I tugged on his bottom lip, he gladly opened up to me. I ran my fingers through his incredibly soft hair, and smiled inwardly.
He pulled away slowly, and all I could do was gasp for breath. My head was spinning and there was different colors twisting around behind my eyelids. I opened them shyly, and noticed he had his eyes closed also, with his head tilted down and lips parted.
We were both panting to regain our breathing to an even state again. I still had my hands rested on his shoulders while his were still planted on my waist.
When he finally reopened his eyes, they were glazed over and I had to admit that this is the brightest that I had ever seen in his green eyes.
I suddenly felt a rush of cold air next to me which sent chills up and down my spine, but I still never took my eyes away from his.
He flicked his eyes between the spot next to me, and then averted his gaze back to me. I looked at him confused, but he removed his arms from around my waist, and placed his forehead on mine.
"I have something, err, someone to show you." He whispered to me.
All I could do was nod; I was in a daze that I never wanted to come up from. I couldn't trust my voice right now. My heart had begun to race rapidly behind my ribcage. He grabbed my hands and I trailed behind him, grinning madly as led me out the door and into Morty.
woo! Okay so just to let you know, this was the last fairly tame chaper for a while. Tame i mean, as in not intense...like the last chapter was.
you want intense? youre gonna get it! :D Even more intense then the last chapter.
Why did Fitz look at eli sad like? Where is Eli taking Clare? Whats with the chill?
