Chapter 15 – Hanging by a Moment

The next day had flown by quickly. Quicker than Eli wanted, he waited in front of Clare's house, sitting inside Morty. Eli leaned his head against his hand and sighed heavily for the hundredth time. He glanced towards the front door, and watched his cute girlfriend bounce down the front steps. Clare climbed into the passenger side of Morty and she leaned over, kissing Eli's cheek. Eli smiled at her and he shifted the car in drive.

Clare scooted to the middle of the seats and asked, "Are you ready?"

Eli nodded.

"We don't have to stay long do we?"

"Eli I thought you wanted to talk to her." Clare said as he started to drive away from her house. Eli responded, "I never said I didn't want to, I just… I don't know it's like, I'm having second thoughts about what I want to say to her."

Clare smiled faintly.

Eli intertwined their fingers together. He rubbed his thumb back and forth and Clare leaned her head on his shoulder. It didn't take them long to arrive at the hospital. Eli parked in the back of the parking lot, far away. Clare frowned upon this, but she didn't bother in asking. They both climbed out of Morty and Clare took Eli's hand, interlacing their fingers together. Eli looked down at the ground as they made their way to the entrance of the hospital.

Clare reached up with her left hand, and grasped his bicep.

Eli glanced down at her and smiled faintly at her. He kissed the top of her head and Clare smiled wide. They entered the hospital and both headed to Julia's room. Clare knocked on the door, and Julia cracked one eye open. She smiled and blinked a few times, watching both Clare and Eli walk inside the room.

"Eli what are you doing here?" Julia asked.

"I have something I want to say to you."

"Eli it's not a good idea if you're here."

"Julia you have to hear me out, on what I need to say to you. It's important."

Julia blinked a few times and she clamped her mouth shut.

"Look, for the past two months, I have tried my hardest to ignore you, which seemed to work. When I found out that you cheated on KC with Fitz, I felt his pain. It sucks… it sucks big time. The first time I found out when you cheated on me with him, I felt like I was going to die, because… it was with the guy who made my life a living hell. You're probably the worse person ever… you don't take consideration to anybody's feelings—

"Eli, what I did with Fitz—

"I'm not finished yet," Eli interrupted her. He continued, "When—when I found out that you had sex with him… I didn't know what to think. I wanted us to be each other's firsts." Julia lowered her gaze and felt the tears begin to sting in her eyes. Eli swallowed the lump in his throat and sighed heavily. He finished, "I hope you get better Julia… because I know deep down… there's still that same girl I met a year ago." Eli exited the room, leaving Clare and Julia with slight a room full of awkward tension.

Clare smiled at Julia and placed her hand over Julia's non casted one.

"Clare, the reason I asked you to come today is because… I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry, about KC about us, about everything. I tried not to like him, I really did. Please forgive me?" Julia looked up. Clare stared at her broke face and frowned.

"Julia… what you did with KC… broke our trust. I can forgive you, because I believe everybody deserves a second chance to prove themselves, that doesn't mean I'm going to trust you right off the bat though." Clare stated honestly. Julia chewed on her bottom lip and nodded her head. Clare smiled and Julia smiled in return.

"Clare."

She turned around and blinked at Eli, who walked in, only peeking through the door frame.

"Hm?" She asked.

"I'm going to get something to drink, do you want anything?"

"A tea would be nice." Clare smiled. Eli nodded and exited the room. Clare turned to Julia, who smiled faintly at her.

"How are you feeling?" Clare asked.

Julia snorted.

"The pain is unbearable, but I mean they gave me these awesome pain killers, knocks me out in two minutes." Julia laughed, and hissed, placing her arm over her ribs.

"I'm sorry this happened to you Julia, how are your parents with this? Have they seen you any?" Clare asked, getting up and walking on the other side of her, sitting in the empty seat. Julia shrugged her shoulders, not wanting to talk about it. Her parents have seen her, but they would leave possibly thirty minutes after they arrived.

Julia sighed heavily.

A knock on the door caused Clare and Julia to turn their heads.

"Am I interrupting something?"

"Fitz, what are you doing here?" Julia snapped.

Clare blinked a few times and got up from the chair. Fitz averted his gaze from Julia to the cute girl standing next to the bed. He smirked and Clare blushed, turning her face to the side. Julia glared at Fitz, trying to get him to leave. He ignored her of course, and walked up to Clare, standing before her. Clare blinked up at him and she backed up.

"Um, you're standing a bit too close, can you move?" Was all Clare could say. Fitz arched his eyebrow at her.

"Get away." Clare demanded, as Fitz cornered her.

"Fitz knock it off!" Julia shouted.

Fitz only smirked and he reached up and curled his fingers around Clare's hair. She blushed and bowed her head, pushing at his chest, well, she attempted to, but Fitz was too strong for her. So, he stayed in place, his body nearly crushing her smaller ones against the corner. Clare whimpered and turned her head to the side.

Eli walked away from the vending machine, holding a bottle of Nestle Tea, and Coke. He walked around the corner and headed down the busy hall. Eli sighed and walked into Julia's room.

"Eli!" Clare squeaked, running around the man that cornered her, standing behind her boyfriend. Eli narrowed his eyes.

"Emo boy, it's been a while."

"What are you doing here?" Eli growled.

Fitz looked over at Julia, then back at Eli. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "I figured I'd stop by and check on Julia here, same reason as you I presume." Fitz shrugged his shoulders. Eli turned to Clare and asked, "What did he do to you?"

Clare blinked up at him and shook her head, biting her bottom lip. Fitz snorted.

"Like I would do something to a cute girl like what was her name? Clare? Yeah, like I would do something to her."

"Never stopped you before." Eli snapped.

"Guys please!" Julia shouted, stopping their argument before it became into a fight. Eli glanced over at Julia as well as Fitz. Clare placed a hand on Eli's shoulder and he turned his head to her. She smiled at him and he loosened up a little. Fitz turned to Julia and said, "I only came here to check how you were, I'll be back later though." Julia, Eli, and Clare watched him leave.

Julia sighed.

"I'm beginning to see why you hate him." Clare whispered.

"Yeah, he's a dick." Eli responded. He handed Clare the tea and she took it with a smile. Clare twisted the cap off and brought the bottle up to her lips. She took a sip and Eli turned to Julia. He said, "Clare and I are going to go now, call if you need anything." Eli walked around Clare who glanced back at him, frowning. Clare turned to Julia and she smiled weakly at her.

"Go on get out of here, I'll call KC and have him company me. Thank you for listening Clare." Julia stated.

Clare smiled and she walked to Julia, carefully wrapping her arms around Julia's neck. Julia returned the hug, linking her arm around Clare's shoulders. Clare pulled away and walked out of the room. Eli was waiting outside for her. She smiled at him and said, "Let's get out of here." Eli nodded and he reached into his pocket, pulling his phone out.

"It's three now, what would you like to do?"

Clare pressed her lips to a line and looked around, something Eli found to be very, very cute. Clare glanced up at him and responded, "Let's go to your place." Eli blinked a few times.

"Again?" He asked finally.

"Sure, why not?" Clare asked curiously.

Eli shrugged his shoulders, "You're the boss." Clare smiled wide and she linked her arm with his, interlacing their fingers together. They walked out of the hospital, heading to Eli's car. He opened the door for her and Clare climbed in. Eli walked around the car and he climbed into the driver's side; he turned the ignition on, and pulled out of the parking lot, heading towards his place. Clare twiddled her fingers in the passenger seat, looking out the window.

She glanced over at Eli and he smiled at her, when he noticed that she was glancing at him. Clare smiled in return, and then looked back out the window.

Eli licked his lips and he cleared his throat, not trying to sound too nervous.

They arrived at his place moments later, and Clare bounced out of the car. She smiled back at Eli as she made her way to the front door. Eli followed, locking the doors. He unlocked the front door and walked inside to silence. Eli closed the front door and said, "Okay, we're here Clare-bear, now what?" Clare licked her lips in a provocative kind of way, causing Eli's heart to skip a beat. He swallowed hard and Clare bit her lip, looking down at the floor.

"Back when… we were at the hospital, you said you wanted Julia to be your first…" Her sentence trailed off. Eli frowned and he reached up, grasping her chin and lifting it up. Clare blinked up at him and he said, "That's different now Clare." He leaned forward, pressing his lips to her ear. He whispered, "I want you to be my first… only you." Clare blushed and she couldn't help the smile that curled her lips up. She looked up at him and Eli cupped her face. Clare closed her eyes, leaning against his touch.

Eli gently pressed his lips against hers, kissing her chastely.

As he pulled away, their eyes met, blue crashing with green.

Clare leaned up and she crushed her lips over his, grabbing the sleeves of his shirt. Eli cupped her face with both hands, chewing softly on her bottom lip as they kissed violently, tongues dancing and exploring each other's mouths. Clare moaned as Eli reached down and cupped her ass through her jeans, groping her. Clare pressed her body into his, trying to feel more of her boyfriend. Their bodies were so close to each other's that she could feel his heart beating rapidly against her chest.

Eli's hands moved down to her thighs, and he picked her up, wrapping her legs around his waist.

With unsteady steps, he walked to the couch, and dropped her off there, his body towering over hers. Clare whimpered and her hands found their way around his neck. Eli kissed down her jaw line, his teeth grazing her skin causing Clare to gasp, and her eyes fluttered closed.

He pressed his lips against her neck and sucked tenderly on her soft skin. Clare moaned and she raked her fingers through his hair, tugging at the soft, silk strands. Eli moaned against her skin and drags his teeth across her neck, moving up to her ear. He sucked on her earlobe and chewed on it softly. Clare gasped, her chest heaving up and down. Eli licked the shell of her ear, once again tugging at her earlobe. His lips found hers, crushing them together.

Clare moved her hands inside his shirt, grazing her finger nails across his flesh. Eli sucked her tongue into his mouth and moaned when her nails scraped softly across his nipples. Clare liked the way his moan sounded, so she did it again, pulling another moan from his throat. Eli pulled his mouth away from hers and breathed heavily. Clare moved her lips to his neck and she kissed that one particular spot that drove Eli insane.

"Clare." He gasped.

She smirked and sucked on his neck, occasionally biting his skin.

"Ohh…" Eli moaned, his eyes closed and he breathed heavily through his slightly parted lips. Clare kissed the lightly bruised flesh and she pulled away. Eli slowly opened his eyes, and was immediately staring into Clare's now dark blue eyes, dilated with lust, pleasure, and desire. He licked his lips.

"Eli, can we go to your room?"

There was no hesitating in his response, pulling her up from the couch; he led her to his room. They stumbled to his bed, Clare fell back on it, with Eli's body landing on top of hers. She started to tug his shirt off, but Eli stopped her.

"Clare we don't have to get undressed."

"Eli, I—I want to though…" Clare responded shyly. He pinned his eyebrows together and Clare smile weakly up at him. She said, "Eli… I want this…" Eli blinked a few times. He knew exactly what she meant, knew exactly what she wanted. Eli kissed her chastely; he pulled away and glued their foreheads together.

"Are you sure? We were talking about this yesterday and… you said—

"That I didn't want to yesterday… I'm ready Eli, it's perfect… now." Clare interrupted him. Eli nodded and he kissed her again. Clare thrust her tongue into Eli's mouth, coaxing his to play with hers. Their kiss grew more sloppy as Eli started to removed his shirt over his head; breaking the kiss for a few moments, only to start back again once he tossed his shirt to the side. Clare pulled away, gasping for air. Eli tugged on her shirt.

She got up and helped him removed it.

Eli tossed the shirt to the side and reached up to softly cradle his hands over her breasts clad in a silky black bra. Clare bit her bottom lip, arching her back as she moaned. Eli gently massaged her breasts while he leaned down and kissed her sternum, licking a line to the tops of her breasts that were spilling over the bra she wore. Clare whimpered when Eli's hands squeezed her breasts a little harder, feeling her nipples tighten. Eli reached around and he unclasped her bra.

Clare blushed when Eli stared at her chest.

He smirked and whispered, "You're so beautiful."

Her blush grew darker and she tilted her head to the side, still feeling slightly embarrassed, even if Eli has seen her before. This time is different. They're moments away from making love, and Clare had never felt more embarrassed, or nervous in her entire life. Eli dipped his head down and placed a kiss over her nipple before he flicked his tongue over it.

"Oh!" Clare gasped, the pleasure now coursing up and down her spine, creating goosebumps on her creamy white skin. Eli reached up and he groped her neglected breast. He sucked on her nipple and tugged on it between his teeth while his thumb and index finger tugged on the other, pinching, pulling and twisting lightly.

"Mmm, ohh! Eli…" Clare whimpered.

He switched, giving her other nipple the same treatment.

"Oh my god!" Clare groaned. She grasped his bed sheets, wondering and questioning how just with someone playing with her breasts would turn her on so much. Eli kissed down her body, dipping and circling his tongue in her navel. He pulled back, and started to unbutton her jeans. Clare watched as he pulled them down her legs, leaving herself clad only in her black boy shorts. Wanting Clare to feel slightly more comfortable, Eli removed his pants, leaving himself in his boxers.

Clare looked at his obvious arousal and she reached up to touch him, but Eli stopped her.

"Not yet." He stated.

Clare nodded and Eli crawled on top of her, his erection pressing against her center. They both moaned at the contact. Eli rolled his hips forward and both moaned yet again in unison. Clare whimpered, "Eli please… now." He kissed her forehead and moved off her, only to go to the drawers and rummaged through them, trying to find a condom. Once he found one, surprisingly, he walked back to the bed. Clare shyly, yet seductively, removed her panties, revealing her already wet pussy.

Eli did the same with his boxers and Clare watched as he ripped the condom wrapper off, and slipped the condom on.

He climbed on top of her and Clare swallowed nervously.

"Are you ready?" He asked.

Clare nodded, shyly.

Eli kissed her temple and he gently thrust his hips forward, slowly pushing his dick inside her tight entrance. Clare whimpered and she bit his shoulder. Eli gasped and stopped. He asked, "Are you okay?" Clare nodded.

"Keep going, I'm fine." She responded

Eli obeyed, pushing his cock deeper inside her. Clare hissed. He stopped.

"Eli stop stopping… please." Clare said.

"Okay, sorry… I just don't want to hurt you." Eli said, pained.

"It's okay… it's supposed to hurt right?" Clare asked. He nodded.

"Well, continue, please… I want you too bad right now for you to stop."

Eli sighed softly. He placed his hands on either side of her head, lifting his upper body up. Eli continued pushing his cock inside her and Clare whimpered, squeezing her eyes shut; the pain was harsh, the stretching hurt her so bad that she whimpered, "It hurts." Eli responded while gasping, "I know, just relax." He thanked god for his parents being out of the house, because the moment he thrust himself all the way in, breaking through the bundle of nerves that blocked him from entering more, Clare let out a piercing scream that made tears weld in his eyes.

Eli leaned down, kissing hers away.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry Clare."

"E-Eli, it hurts… it hurts." Clare whimpered.

"I know, it'll get better, I promise." Eli responded. He whispered soothing words in her ear and slowly, carefully thrust his hips back, and then forward, trying to ease the pain in between Clare's legs. She breathed shakily, biting hard on her bottom lip. Eli pulled his hips back again, and then moved forward. He stopped his movements all together when he heard her whimper.

"Don't stop." Clare gasped.

Eli nodded and he placed his hands on either side of her head yet again, and started steady rhythm, making sure not to hurt her. Clare moaned, her lips parting as she breathed heavily. Eli licked his lips and increased his pace, not too hard, and not too fast. Clare moaned again, her hands clenching the bed sheets.

"O-oh, Eli! Oh Eli faster… please." She gasped.

Eli complied, thrusting his cock in and out of her fast. He gasped and moaned, loving the feeling of how tight she is around his cock. Eli closed his eyes and let the pleasure course through his body. Clare reached up and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, pulling his body over hers. Eli grabbed her hips, moving his hips harder.

"Ahh! Eli!" Clare cried out, arching her hips up to meet his hard thrusts. Eli moaned, "Fuck, Clare…"

Clare gasped, feeling her abdomen tighten.

"E-Eli, I think I'm—I'm going to—Ahh!"

Eli moaned loud, feeling her walls tighten around his cock. He continued thrusting his hips, faster and harder than before, trying to get himself to cum. After two long minutes of jackhammered thrusts, Eli soon came, his body collapsing on top of Clare's. They breathed heavily, sweat covered their bodies.

"That was… that was amazing." Clare gasped.

"Yeah… I'm glad I waited." Eli responded.

Clare smiled and swallowed hard. Eli moved back and he kissed her lips, reaching up to cup her face. Clare pulled away and whispered, "I love you so much."

"I love you too."

He pulled out of her, and removed the condom, tossing it in the trash bin next to his bed. Eli checked the time. It's four thirty. He said, "We can lay here for a bit, then drop you back off at your house." Clare nodded and she pulled Eli's black comforter over their bodies. Eli wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her closer to his chest. Eli kissed the side of her neck, and sighed, inhaling her scent.

He had to admit that after sex, she still smelled so sweet. Clare turned around, facing him. Their legs tangled together as they curled up closer to each other. She sighed, nuzzling her nose against his neck. She smiled and wrapped her arms around his body, keeping his body close to hers.

"I'm glad you were my first Eli."

"Me too Clare… me too."
