Clare and Eli are still not together. They just kiss randomly at times. :P

Okay here is the answer to some questions.
Adam is NOT a transgender in this story.
And yes, dram will be coming. In the next chapter to be exact ! :)

Okay, so this is the day before Clare's birthday. The next chapter will be Clare's birthday and it will explain why she doesn't like celebrating it.

Anyways, this has a lot of Eclare in it :) I hope you guys like it :)

Clare's POV

I sighed as I sat on the couch. I glanced over at the time; it was 11:45pm. I sighed, just thinking that it will soon be my birthday. I turned my head and faced the TV before turning it on and flipping through the channels. I finally settled on a channel and just sat there.

Eli's POV

Everyone was saying how tomorrow was Clare's birthday. She didn't seem too thrilled about it, and I never understood why. I decided I should do something for her; so, I decided I should talk with everybody about maybe throwing her a party or something. She was on the couch so I decided now would be a good time. I walked into the kitchen where everybody was.

"I need to talk to you guys" they all turned to me and seemed interested in what I wanted to say. I turned around to make sure Clare was still sitting on the couch, before turning to them and bringing them farther away from the living room.

"Okay, so I was thinking, we should throw Clare a surprise party." Everyone smiled, except for Adam.

"I don't think that's such a good idea" Adam said.

"Why not?" I asked.

"Well, I can't really tell you, that's for Clare to decide. But all I can say is she doesn't like celebrating her birthday. She hasn't for 3 years"

"Well, I think we should give it a shot. I mean it has been 3 years" I said. Adam sighed and then shrugged.

"I guess" he sighed. Everyone smiled and then we started planning it. It took us till 12:30am to plan the whole thing.

After we were done planning the surprise party, they all decided they would go to bed. We all walked out into the living room and Adam went over to Clare; he sat down next to her.

"Happy birthd—

"Don't" Clare interrupted him and put her hand up to stop him. He sighed and nodded before getting up and kissing her head.

"Goodnight Clare" Adam said.

"Night" she whispered.

Clare's POV

After Adam and everyone went upstairs, I sighed and glued my eyes back to the TV. Soon Eli came and sat next to me; he didn't say anything, he just sat there.

I glanced over at him and he was looking at his hands, while twirling his thumbs around one another. He started shaking his leg, and his foot would make noise once it hit the floor. I tried to ignore it and watch TV, but I just couldn't. I reached over and slammed my hand on his knee so he would stop.

"Please stop" he looked over at my hand and then me, before nodding. I smiled faintly and then removed my hand and looked back at the TV. I was getting sick of what I was watching, so I went to the channel with Galaxy Hit List, and just let the music play. I sighed and rested my head on the couch. I closed my eyes for a bit, but I soon felt uncomfortable. I started moving around to try and find a comfortable position, and I ended up with my feet on the couch and my head on Eli's shoulder.

"Do you mind if I lean on you?" I asked him. He looked down at me and smirked, before shaking his head no. He moved a bit so it would be more comfortable. His arm wrapped around my waist and I leaned into his side. His fingers started to run up and down my side and I smiled faintly; it felt nice. He repeated his actions and after a few more times, I shivered. He chuckled slightly which made me laugh a little too, while I dug my head in his chest. Our laughing died down and I looked up at him. He looked down at me and our faces were only and inch apart. He smiled faintly and I smiled back. I moved my gaze towards the time and noticed it was 1:45am. Wow, time fly's by really fast. I glanced back over to Eli before sitting up; I smiled at him and he gave me a confused look.

"Come on" I grabbed his hand and got up, while dragging him along with me. I dragged him to the front door.

"Put your shoes on" I told him. He pinned his eyebrows together and tilted his head to the side slightly. I laughed at how cute he looked.

"Just do it" he shrugged and put his shoes on, and I did the same. I was about to walk outside when he stopped me.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Do you trust me?" I asked. He nodded hesitantly and I held out my hand for him to take. He glanced at my hand and then back at me. He sighed and took my hand. I smiled and looked back inside, to make sure no one was watching, and I then ran outside pulling Eli with me.

I smiled as the wind came in contact with my body. I really liked the outdoors. Especially at night; it makes it that much more fun and it's a good time to think.

I lead Eli behind the house and down a path I discovered the first time I came here. We were walking hand in hand and he intertwined our fingers.

"Okay, do you mind telling me where were going? Because right now I have this feeling that your planning to kill me" I smacked his arm.

"I'm not going to kill you. I just like going for walks." I shrugged.

"At 2 in the morning?"

"Yes at 2 in the morning" I smiled. "It's the only time I really get to think" I shrugged again.

"So why did you bring me along?"

"Well your welcome to go back into the house if you want." He tightened his grip on my hand.

"No, I was just asking. Normally when people want to think, they would want to be alone." I glanced up at him slowly to see he was looking at me.

I sighed. "Normally, I would tell people to leave me alone, but I don't know… I just felt like I could use someone to lean on" I whispered the last part. He looked over at me and let go of my hand before wrapping his arm around my shoulders, pulling me closer. I smiled and wrapped my arm around his waist.

"So… what do you normally think about when you come out here?" he asked.

I lowered my gaze to the ground and let my head hang low. "My sister" I whispered.

"I'm sorry"

"What are you sorry about?" I asked.

"Well I promised I wouldn't bring it up and I keep doing it anyway." He sighed. I laughed slightly.

"Dude, it's okay. You didn't intend it." he nodded and we kept walking.

Most of the walk after that was silent. We would occasionally glance at one another but look away after. We were almost at my little get-away spot and I sighed in relief. Normally I would run to it but since I had Eli here with me, we walked and it took a lot longer than usual.

When we were almost there I stepped in front of Eli and he ran into my chest. He back away a little and mumbled a 'sorry'.

"You ready?" I asked and bit my bottom lip.

"Depends, what exactly should I be ready for?" he asked smirking. I rolled my eyes and turned him around and placing my hands over his eyes.

"Whoa, what are you doing" he said while taking my hands in his and moving them from his eyes.

"It's a surprise"

"Well for all I know you could be leading me off a cliff" he said while turning around and smirking at me.

"I wouldn't lead you off a cliff… I like you to much" I whispered the last part hoping he would hear it, but I think he did because he smiled.

"Okay, now turn around" he did as I asked and I placed my hands over his eyes again.

I lead him right in front of the little river and then I let my hands drop before standing beside him.

We were standing in front of a little river with rocks all around it. I would normally come here and walk around in the river. There was grass on the other side, along with trees and a big hill. It looks a lot better than it sounds. It's a lot better looking in the light. When it's night, you can still see it but only faintly.

"How did you find this place?" he asked as he looked around in amazement.

"I was just walking through the path and I came across it. Ever since then, I've always came out here to think. I would go up there and sit on the rock" I pointed to my right to a huge rock.

"Cool" he smirked. I rolled my eyes and turned to the rock and started climbing it. Once I got to the top I sat down; it wasn't too long until Eli was sitting next to me.

"You know this place is really nice" I nodded while smiling at him.

We sat there for a while just sitting there and looking around. It was so nice to just sit there and listen to the wind. Speaking of wind, it was getting colder by the minute. I started shivering and trying to warm myself up by rubbing my arms, but it wasn't working out to well.

"Cold?" he asked. I turned to him smiling slightly and nodded.

He smiled and then pulled me into his lap. I was sitting in between his legs and he had his arms wrapped around me trying to warm me up. I leaned back on to him; his chest was right against my back. He had his head resting on my shoulder and I smiled at how close we were.

"Better?" he asked. I turned my head so I could face him.

I smiled and said, "Much"

We laughed slightly and he kissed my cheek.

"Okay, as much as I would like to stay here, I think we should go" we both sighed and he nodded.

I got up and whipped the dirt off of me and then I helped Eli up. Eli climbed off the rock first and I started climbing off. And just my luck, I slipped and fell. I landed on my ass and slid down the rock, not intentionally, and Eli caught me. He was standing right in front of me, with my back against the rock; I had my legs wrapped around him and he had his arms around my waist. I don't know how it happened but that's just how I landed.

"Th-thanks" I mentally slapped myself for stuttering. He smirked and responded, "No problem"

"So Eli" he looked into my eyes. "This is going to sound so cliché but I uh, I like you" I looked down. He moved my chin up so I was forced to look at him.

"It's not cliché because I like you too" I smiled slightly looking into his green orbs before wrapped my arms around him. He laughed slightly and held me tighter. I noticed I still had my legs around him and I quickly un wrapped them. I could have sworn he whimpered from the loss.

"Not to ruin the moment but I already knew you liked me. Unless you just kiss every guy you meet" I pulled away and gave him the 'you have got to be kidding me' look, before hitting him playfully.

"Well fine, I guess I just take it back" I stuck my tongue out at him before turning around and facing the rock with my arms crossed under my chest.

I heard some movement and then he placed his hands on my shoulders. I let my arms drop to my sides when he breathed on my neck, before placing a soft kiss there. I sighed and tilted my head to the side a little. He kept placing soft gentle kisses on my neck while sliding his hands down my arms, before interlacing his fingers with mine.

"You were saying?" he whispered huskily into my ear. I shivered and turned around so I was facing him.

I got all of the will power I could and I shrugged before walking around him. I bit my bottom lip hard so I wouldn't turn around and jump him. I was soon staring into green eyes again; Eli was standing in front of me.

"You can't do that to me" he said.

"Do what?" I asked even though I knew very well what he was talking about.

"You can't just get my hope up and then shrug and walk away" I arched an eyebrow.

"And what exactly did I have your hopes up for?" I asked while crossing my arms across my chest.

"Oh uh" he swallowed hard while the color on his face flushed a dark red and he glanced to the ground. "well when you said you liked me I thought you were going to say… you would be—my… girlfriend" he whispered 'girlfriend'. I smiled at how nervous I make him.

"Well, all you had to do was ask" I smirked before walking around him.

"Ugh again with the walking away thing" he said while walking after me. I waited a little bit until I knew he was behind me. I stopped suddenly when I turned around and he ran into my chest again.

"Well?" I asked. "Are you going to ask or not?"

"You seem very impatient" he smirked. I scoffed and rolled my eyes.

He chuckled and then leaned closer so his lips brushed against mine.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" he asked against my lips. I shuddered as I felt the vibration on my lips. I licked my suddenly dry lips and swallowed. I wanted to answer, but I couldn't. It was like I was frozen. I was just standing there looking into his eyes. I finally decided how I was going to answer this.

"You got to catch me, to date me" I whispered before running away.

He ran after me but I was faster. I smiled as I went around some trees. I stopped and stood behind one. I glanced behind the tree and I didn't see Eli.

"Boo" I heard from behind me. I jumped and turned around to see Eli. I smirked and ran again.

"Seriously?" he yelled after me before chasing me again. This time I went on the trail. It wasn't that long until he caught up to me and grabbed me by the waist before turning me around. He spun me around and our chests were touching. He looked at me and stared into my eyes.

"Well, what's it gonna be?" he asked.

"Y-yes" I finally choked out and mentally slapped myself for stuttering. Jeez, what was this boy doing to me?

Before I knew it I was picked off of the ground and being spun around. I laughed at how fun this was and he set me down. I slid down his chest until my feet touched the ground. I looked into those stunning green eyes of his before he closed the gap between us. He didn't hesitate to bite on my bottom lip, begging for an entrance, and I didn't hesitate to open. I mentally smiled as his tongue roamed my mouth and then fought with mine for dominance. He won but I didn't mind. We both pulled away for air, and we were breathing heavy. I smiled and gave him a peck on the lips before pulling away completely.

"You know what you should do?" I asked him.

"hmm?" he asked.

"You should give me a piggy back ride" I smirked. He arched an eyebrow.

"What are you, five?" I rolled my eyes.

"Come on, it could be like a birthday present" I pouted. He rolled his eyes and then nodded. I jumped and clapped my hands before standing behind him. He crouched down so I could jump on his back.

"Okay, on the count of 2"

"Wait" he stood back up and faced me. "two? Why not three?"

"Because, three is so original; it's boring. Everyone expects you to jump or something on three, so I choose to do it on two"

"Your weird" he laughed slightly.

"But that's one of the things you love about me" I stuck my tongue out at him. He laughed slightly and nodded before turning around and crouching so I could jump on his back.

"One, two!" I yelled 'two' and then jumped on his back. He grabbed my legs and wrapped them firmly around his waist while my arms were around his neck. Once we got situated, he started walking back to the house. I started laughing and he stopped walking.

"What's so funny?" he asked.

"Oh, nothing, it's just that I feel like I'm five" he laughed slightly and started walking.

I smiled and hugged him from behind. He turned his head slightly and smiled at me. I leaned down and kissed his cheek before whispering in his ear, "You can put me down now". He nodded and I slid down his back before my feet touched the ground.

Once I was off of his back, he pulled me to his side and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. I wrapped my arms around his torso and we started walking back to the house.

"So what do you think everybody will say once they find out?" he asked. I looked up at him and smiled.

"Well Adam would probably yell 'BOOYAH' and Drew will say something perverted and Alli and Fiona will squeal" I shrugged my shoulders.

"You know, you might be right" he said while laughing.

"Might? There is no might, I know I am right. You'll see" I smirked.

He laughed slightly and kissed my temple. I smiled at how amazing that felt. I looked up at him and he leaned down and kissed me. It was slow and sweet and amazing. I smiled in the middle of it and he did to at one point. We pulled away and smiled at each other before looking ahead of us again.

We soon arrived back at the cabin and I slowly opened the door, trying not to make too much noise. Once we got inside we ran upstairs and into the bedroom. I grabbed my pajama pants and then went into the bathroom to change. Once I was done I went back into the room and jumped in bed. I was actually really tired.

I started thinking about tomorrow, and what I was going to do to keep my mind off of things. I was so caught up with my thoughts that I didn't even realize the lights being turned off and Eli climbing in bed.

"You okay?" he asked.

I snapped back into reality and turned my head to face him. "Yeah, just thinking about tomorrow"

"Oh yeah, your birthday is tomor—

"Don't remind me" I cut him off.

"Uh, sorry?"

"I just don't like thinking about it"

He nodded and I turned on my side. I felt him move slightly closer to me. I smiled slightly and reaching behind me and grabbing his arm before placing it over my waist. He sighed and pulled me closer to him before kissing my neck and of course the spot he kissed was my weak spot and I shivered while a quiet moan left my lips. He laughed slightly and I turned on my back.

"That is not funny"

"Oh yes it was" he laughed again.

"Oh really? You think this is funny?" I rolled over and straddled him. He was shocked at first but then smirked. I leaned down and started kissing his neck, occasionally switching to biting. His breathing became heavy and he moaned. I smirked against his skin before kissing up his jawline and then his lips. He lifted his hand and cupped my cheek while he kissed me hungrily. I mentally smiled and then I pulled away from him before lying back down on the bed. I turned on my side and listened to him breath heavy.

"Tease" he said while putting his arm around me again.

"You'll get over it" I smirked and closed my eyes.

Things are finally starting to get better; nothing can ruin that… right?
