Chapter Nineteen: Trapped (Clare's POV)
I didn't know him at that moment. His emerald eyes suddenly glazed over. His lopsided mouth turned into a grimace, a low growl erupted from his chest. I stumbled back, away from the episode. I should've waited to tell him. I didn't want this. I didn't want him to attack me. I opened my mouth to shout for Rachel, his angry nurse. But no words escaped my mouth. As much as Eli was suffering, he was still there.. Trapped underneath all that anger. I didn't want any of those nurses or doctors holding him down and making him suffer. "Eli.. Please." I pleaded with him. He has to stay sane.. I have to keep him sane. He suddenly snarled. "You don't know me.. I don't know you.. But I hate you." I tried to ignore the enormous jab in my heart. I hate you. I shouldn't take it personally.. It was his insane side. He loves me. His sane side does. Eli suddenly broke the straps off his wrist, causing his wrists to bleed, the white linen stained with his crimson blood. He jumped off the bed, knocking the IV over. He looked at me with glazed emeralds. "Please.. Eli I know your there. Please." I pleaded again. Although I was too late, I tumbled backwards as Eli pounced onto me, I felt my head ache due to the fall. Eli had my forearms pinned down, he looked down at me. I whimpered. "Eli." I whispered. "Please.. Eli I.." I trailed off and felt his grip tighten on my forearms. "What? Are you with them. Are you planning to hurt me." Eli sneered. I gasped and looked into his glazed emeralds. "I love you." I said. My heart tighten at having to say it. Eli stared at me, until I saw his eyes soften, but were still glazed over. He crawled off of me and walked shakily to the corner of the room, where he wrapped his arms around his knees and rocked back and forth. I stood up slowly and rubbed my sore arms. He had a tight grip. I stared at him warily as I approached the door and opened it. I heard him say in such a small voice. "I love you too." I could feel the tears pour down my face. "I know." I whispered. "That's why I have to give you space." I quickly turned around and exited the room in a fast motion. Clutching at my throbbing heart.
"So I saw Eli yesterday." Adam said while stuffing papers into his locker. "Oh really?" I said. I was use to hearing Adam, Fiona and Jenna visiting Eli at the mental asylum. Mental asylum. He didn't belong there. Adam told me about how people there were worse than Eli. They would run around stark naked and chew their hands off. It was a horrible place. Eli has been sitting in a corner, he's sit there for hours, unless he would eat or sleep. Occasionally he'll write in his blood, then they have to restrain him to the gurney. But somehow they'll return to find him back in his corner. "He just sits there. Barely says anything." Adam said with a sigh. "The insane side of him took over. He's not my best friend anymore." "Are you still keeping it from your mom and Drew?" I asked. Mrs. Torres.. There was no words to describe her and Adam's step brother, Drew was very over protective of him, and would flip if he knew Adam was at a asylum weekly. "Yeah. I'm lucky that Fi drive me. Can't wait for that license next year." Adam quipped with a smile. I returned the smile. Fiona than rushed up to us with a grin on her face. "Ah!" She shouted. I looked at her oddly. "What is it Fiona?" I asked. Curiosity kills the cat, Clare. The automatic Eli said in my mind. I rolled my eyes. "Keep out Goldsworthy." I said mentally. "I got accepted to Yale! Oh I'm so happy!" Fiona squealed. I smiled for Fiona and gave her a huge hug. Fiona than turned around and smiled at Adam. Then out of no where, Fiona grabbed Adam's face and kissed him. I felt my jaw fall open and many others in the hall stopped to see the two kiss. Fiona let go and giggled. Adam just stood there with a goofy grin on his face. "Wow Fi." Adam said. Fiona giggled and held her hand out. "Walk me to French.. boyfriend?" "What if we get caught?" Adam asked, looking around for the officers. Fiona scoffed. "I'm Fiona Freaking Coyne. I can get my way around." Adam smiled and grabbed Fiona's hand and waved bye to me before leaving. I turned around to see Jenna right behind me, a burrito in her hand. "So are you coming tomorrow night?" Jenna asked. I raised an eyebrow. "What's tomorrow night?" I questioned. I didn't remember Jenna ever mentioning something happening Friday night. Jenna rolled her eyes. "It's the season finale of Next Teen Star! Remember? I'm in the bottom two! I hope I have a chance of winning." Jenna said, munching on her burrito. I then linked my arm with Jenna's and smiled. "You'll win Jenna. Me, Fiona and Adam will vote a million times." I reassured her. Jenna smiled brightly. "Thanks Clare bear. I'm happy we're friends again. I never got to apologize for stealing KC from you." Jenna apologized. "Jenna.. It's okay.. I forgive you. I'm over KC." I said. Jenna nodded and continued to chomp on her burrito while we walked to Algebra, on our way there I noticed KC walking past us. He looked at Jenna quickly and gave me a once over, he smiled slightly and gently brushed up against me. He hasn't smiled at me like that since freshman year, I thought. It's like the old KC. "Don't fall for his trap Clare." Eli's whispering voice said in my head. "Shut it Eli." I mumbled. Jenna looked over. "What'd you say?" Jenna asked. I shook my head. "Nothing Jenna. Nothing at all." I lied through my bare teeth. Then my mind started off on memories of KC and me.. How much we enjoyed time with each other.. How much I loved him.
"Oh my god. Oh my god. Clare? What if I don't win?" Jenna exclaimed, while pacing backstage. I sighed. "Calm down Jenna. I'm sure you'll win. Fiona has her people voting like 24/7 and I voted like fifty times." I said as I stood up and stood by Jenna. Jenna took a deep breath. "Alright.. Okay I just need to calm down. Bethany's kicking like crazy." Jenna sighed, cradling her nine month pregnant stomach. "Just a couple more weeks, Bethany." I smiled slightly at the motherly Jenna, Bethany was definitely changing Jenna into someone more responsible. Not who she use to be. "We need our final two contestants on the stage. Clyde Hamilton and Jenna Middleton." The announcer boomed from the stage. I gave Jenna a quick hug before she walked onto the stage. "We have the results!" The announcer than opened the envelope and I crossed my fingers. I really did want Jenna to win. She deserved it, after what KC did to her. KC. I was lost in a moment, thinking back to moments with KC, kissing his lips, having him hold me so gently. "Your Next Teen Star is.. Jenna Middleton!" The announcer boomed. I was pulled from my memories as Jenna had this shocked look on her face and she immediately started crying. I grinned broadly for Jenna as she started squealing like a little girl… That was until water rushed onto the set. Jenna clutched at her stomach. I stared shocked at Jenna as she looked at the crowd with embarrassment. "My water just broke." Jenna said quietly into the microphone.
Not that big of a chapter, except for Eli going mad and attacking Clare. In case your wondering, Clare and Eli are on a break. The reason why will be revealed in Clare's thoughts later. FADAM FTWW! Yep! I had to get Adam and Fiona together! Who cares if she's like 18 and he's 15? They're adorable! JENNA'S WATER BROKE! I have to make her have that baby! It seems like it's been forever since she got pregnant in my stories! Eli and Clare stuffing's should be coming up later, BUT THERE WILL BE A REUINION! :DDD Oh and were any of you guys ever Klare fans? {KC and Clare?} I was a huge one! I loved Klare, even after KC and Clare broke up, but when Eli came into the picture.. I would be glad if KC was hit by a car :/
