Snowballs Chance in Hell
Ch.12: Mistakes were made
Eli's POV
I pulled onto the street that I thought the Bahandari's lived on and sure enough two houses down I noticed Mr. Bahandari's new truck. "bingo" I said out loud. Knocking on the door I could hear hustling coming from inside the house as someone came closer to the door.
"what are you doing here? Alli shrieked at me
"um... is Clare here?"
"she is but what makes you think she wants to see you?" she questioned her tone was now sharp and snotty.
"Alli who's at the door?" Clare asked as she came into view. I noticed her jaw drop and her eyes widen when she saw it was me.
"Eli, what are you doing here?" she asked when she reached the door frame.
"i...i need to talk to you" I said my voice was starting to shake with nerves. She was so beautiful, seeing her again set my heart on fire. Alli rolled her eyes as she walked away leaving Clare and me alone. Clare grabbed her coat and stepped outside.
"so you needed to talk to me?" she asked as she zipped up her coat and crossed her arms.
" I don't really know how to say it so here goes... Clare I was wrong. I made a huge mistake that day in the park. I want us to go back to the way we used to be... before the whole Elliot situation."
"Eli, you dumped me and left me in the park alone. I had been sick for the past three weeks and you never came to visit me... not once, and now you want us to get back together like nothing happened?" she stated
"well when you say it like that... YES! I want us to get back together I want you to be my girlfriend, and I want us to work together to get back to where we were. I'm willing to put in the effort if you are. Clare I love you! I know that if I don't let you know how I feel then I will regret it for the rest of my life, and that's not something I'm not willing to live with" I said. I felt like I had been rambling, I was so nervous. I looked at her she smiled at me sweetly, her eyes were beginning to tear up. "please Clare don't cry"
"You really love me?" she asked
"Yes, Clare Diane Edwards I love you!" I stated boldly
"Well, I love you too" she said shyly
" so does this mean your my girlfriend again?" I asked. She didn't answer, instead she leaned into me and pressed her lips to mine gingerly. " I take that as a yes" I stated with a smirk.
END!

Epilogue:
Clare's POV:
"I can't believe that's your idea of a romantic date" I said pointing to the theater we had just exited.
Eli laughed and pulled me into a side hug "why Clare you're not afraid of a few horror movies are you? I know you've seen twilight and just the acting alone in that movie is enough to scare me!" he laughed again and gave me one of his famous side smirks.
I scowled at him "Twilight, unlike the blood bath we just encountered is a love story"
He rolled his eyes at me, "well next date you can pick what we do"
"Promise?" I asked questioning his sincerity
"Scouts honor" he said forming his hand into the Boy Scouts symbol.
I couldn't help but laugh at him. He was so charming it was hard to be anything but bubbly around him.
"Good" I said, "but I have two things to say to you Mr. Goldsworthy. 1. If I have nightmares im blaming you, and 2. Next time you want to go watch a bunch of zombies dismember innocent civilians… take Adam instead."
"Deal" he said leaning in and kissing me sweetly on the lips. His kisses always had a way of making butterflies appear in my stomach.
"I better get Cinderella home before her curfew" Eli said lacing his fingers with mine and leading me to Morty.
The car ride home was silent but comfortable. When he finally pulled into my driveway I turned to him and smiled.
"Walk me to my door?" I asked
"I wouldn't have it any other way" he said getting out and opening up my door.
We walked to the door hand in hand; I really didn't want to go inside to my real nightmare. My parents were still fighting and it seemed to be getting worse everyday. At least when I was with Eli I didn't have to worry about anything; the world seemed to be in perfect order when we were together.
"I guess this is goodnight then" I said with a frown as soon as we reached the top step.
He pressed his lips to mine vigorously. His mouth was hot and wild as he parted my lips with his tongue. The kiss was sweet and passionate as we got lost in each other for a few moments. When we finally pulled apart my head was spinning. "Amazing" I whispered. He smirked at my comment.
" I have to go now" he said kissing me on the forehead.
He turned and walked to Morty. Before getting in the drivers seat he turned to me," Good night Clare, sweet dreams!"
I walked into my house and leaned against the door. My life was finally getting back to normal I thought as I closed my eyes and relived the kiss Eli and I had just shared. "amazing" I whispered.
