Chapter Eleven: Lies (Clare's POV)
"Elijah Goldsworthy? I swear to god.. You need to answer my phone calls. I'm worried about you Eli. You just stormed off. Just.. Call back.. Soon." I shut my phone and stuffed it in my bag. Alli eyed me carefully. "Clare? Not to sound like a bitch, but why call Eli?" I gaped at Alli and she looked at me weird. "Because. I'm worried Alli! He's my boyfriend, something could be seriously wrong with him." I rambled. Alli put a finger up and I stopped. Alli swallowed the food she was chewing. "Listen.. Clare. After school today just drop by his house. See what's going on." Alli advised. I crossed my arms. "I just don't know what I did. I mean we were just making out-" Alli than suddenly dropped her fork and gasped. "Clare! What would Mother Theresa do if she found out!" Alli yelled in mock shock. I rolled my eyes and started fumbling with my fingers. "So we were making out and then he breaks away and just abruptly leaves. It's been two days since, Alli. I'm scared." I confided to my best friend. Alli murmured sympathetically, "Oh Clare. I'm sorry. That's horrible." I sighed and heard the bell ring. "I have to go to English alone.. Again. I miss Eli." I whispered, Alli linked arms with me and smiled. "At least you have me." Alli said. I smiled down at her and then felt someone else on my arm. "Me too!" I looked to see Jenna stuffing a banana in her mouth, and ranch dressing on it. "Jenna what are you eating?" I asked. Alli muttered, "Better not to know. She has freaky cravings for a pregnant girl." I giggled and walked off with a best friend and a.. friend.
I took a hesitant step and knocked on the front door. After a couple of moments, the door opened and a woman with long blond hair and emerald green eyes that resembled Eli's answered. "Oh.. Hello." The woman said, obviously startled. "Who are you?" The woman asked. "I'm Clare.. Clare Edwards. Eli's.. girlfriend." I said nervously. The woman's eyes lit up. "Oh!" She gasped. Her tiring lips curling into a smile. "Well I'm so terribly rude. I'm Caroline Goldsworthy. Eli's mother." Caroline introduced, I shook her hand and realized where Eli gets his good looks. Caroline is a beautiful woman with Eli's lopsided smile as well. "I'm afraid you can't see Eli. He's been sick." Caroline lied, I could tell. Her face had fake sympathy. I was about to argue when staggering footsteps approached. "Mom.. Let me talk to her." Eli's tired voice called. I looked up to see Eli. His hair a mess and his emerald eyes tired. I wanted to rush to him and hold him in my arms. Caroline put a hand on her son's face before rushing up the stairs. Eli stood awkwardly in the doorway. "Come in?" Eli offered. I nodded and walked inside his house. I didn't take the time to stare and study his home. I walked into his living room and took a seat on the leather couch. Eli took a seat beside me and closed his eyes. After moments of silence, I cleared my throat. "So.. Your mom says your sick." I said. Eli shrugged. "Just a headache. Migraines." He corrected himself. I nodded and sighed. "Why haven't you replied to my calls?" I asked, facing his tired body. Eli opened his eyes and looked at me, his eyes were starting to glaze over. "I've been sleeping." He lied. I balled my fist and groaned. "What?" Eli asked, his voice annoyed. "I'm not lying." He stated. I huffed and faced him. "Tell me what's going on Eli." I demanded. Eli shook his head. "Nothing's happened Clare. Why can't you believe me?" He asked with a touch of whining in his voice. Before I could respond, Eli clutched at the leather couch, his nails digging into the leather and tearing it apart. His eyes were squeezed shut. Before I could ask him what was wrong, he let out a horrified scream that made me cringe and yelp. "Caroline!" Caroline rushed into the room and ran to Eli's aide. She attempted to soothe him with a song, Eli's screams grew louder. Caroline looked at me with concern. "You need to go home Clare." Caroline said. I shook my head. "What's happening to him?" I screamed. Eli's eyes burst open and he screams louder. "BLOOD! THERE'S BLOOD EVERYWHERE!" Eli screeched. Caroline held him in her arms, trying to soothe him again. I sat there rigid in my seat, unable to do anything. Eli glanced at me, his eyes had broken blood vessels, broken emeralds. When he looked at me, he screamed again. "MOM! SHE'S DYING! LOOK AT HER!" Eli screamed and clutched onto his mom. Caroline gave me a sympathetic look. "Perhaps you've seen too much.. You should wait outside while I calm him down." Caroline said over Eli's screams. I nodded feverishly and escaped from Eli's home. I took a gasp of air and started crying. The way his voice was screaming for an escape and just was scared. I buried my head in my hands and just felt the tears run down my face and onto the pavement. I heard his screams again this time and a manly voice come into the house. There was shouting and before I knew it.. It had stopped. I un covered my ears and saw the front door open. Caroline stood there, her blond hair had been pulled and yanked on by Eli. "You need to know the truth."
OOH! Cliffhanger! Can you people still guess what Eli has? Perhaps you'll find out soon XD
