"B-break up with Eli and sleep with me. Or, you'll pay." Jake said, shakily and scared of what he's about to do. "No. I love Eli, and Eli loves me." I answered, with a firm voice. Jake stopped shaking and he was confident. "Fine. Your losses." Jake said as he aimed the gun at Eli and me. My eyes widened and anxiety filled my body. Eli grabbed my arm and Jake pressed the button, and a bullet came our way. "NO!" Eli and I screamed.
Clare's POV
"NO!" Eli and I screamed. Eli's firm grip on my arm loosened, and he pushed me to the ground. I was confused about what was going on, until I heard Jake say under his breathe, "Oh my god. I shot…Eli Goldsworthy." I was shaking when I heard Jake say Eli. I looked down at Eli, and noticed that red liquid coming from his arm. His dark hair was all ruffled and Eli laid there, starting to scream in pain.
Eli's POV
When Jake shot the bullet, I pushed Clare to the ground, not wanting her to get shot. Once the bullet entered my skin, it felt strange. No pain was there until after a few seconds. I yelped and fell to the ground. Clare was still lying there, confused. I felt like yelling, "Clare! Stop being confused and help me! I got shot!" but all I could manage was a few whimpers and blood leaked out my body. Clare started freaking out once she noticed that I got shot. Some of the 11th graders noticed what was going on and came over. Clare called Adam over and I heard his footsteps. "Oh my god!" Adam yelled.
Adam, my best friend, knows how it feels to get shot. That fact made me feel better, and Adam and Clare tried the same thing Katie did when Adam got shot. I moved my hand furiously, trying to touch Clare. Eventually, I found Clare and she grasped my hand. "I love you Eli. Please, please don't die on us." She whispered. Once again, I felt like saying something but I couldn't. I felt like a deer getting mauled by bears.
Once the ambulance and the police came, Jake was arrested. The paramedics put me on the stretcher. It occurred to me the first time in almost 2 hours, that this was my 18th birthday. The paramedics put on a machine around me. "This should help you breathe." One buff voice said. "Breathe or at least try to." I tried to but I went unconscious.
Adam's POV
As soon as Clare told me that Eli got shot, I took command. I had Katie try to heal Eli, I had Clare comfort Eli, and everyone else doing different things. "Drew! Call Eli's parents, Fiona, Imogen, mom and dad, and Clare's parents and tell them what's going on. Hurry! Clare!" I yelled as, as I approached her. "Yeah a-Adam?" she answered. "Pick someone and ride in the ambulance with Eli!" I ordered. "You." Clare replied. "What?" "Come with me Adam. Eli's your best friend." She explained.
I sighed. "I can't." I said. After some thinking, I felt bad, wrong. "Katie!" I called. She came over to us. "Yeah Adam." She asked. "take care of things here, I'm gonna ride in the ambulance." "Fine by me!" she said and started to take charge. "Thanks." I said. I was terrified. What's gonna happen with Eli. He's he going to be okay? My mind buzzed with questions and I said aloud, "He's gonna be okay." Clare stopped crying over Eli and looked up. "What?" "Eli. He's gonna be okay. Eli's brave. He's like a rock. Solid." I said. Clare smiled. "Let's hope."
At The Hospital, No one's POV
As they got to the hospital, Clare and Adam sat down outside Eli's door. CeCe and Bullfrog Goldsworthy came down the hall and hugged Clare and Adam, CeCe worried. "Oh. I'm happy you two are all alright. Where's Eli? Is he ok?" she asked. Adam shrugged and Clare stood there. A nurse came down the hall. "Are you the Goldsworthy's?" she asked, with a deep German accent. "Yes ma'am." Bullfrog answered. "Is he ok?" Bullfrog asked.
The nurse winced. CeCe stood there and then bursted out, "Just tell us! Is he ok? Yes or…no." "Elijah's going to need blood transfusions and surgery. The only problem is that we're a few pints low of the blood we're able to give him. We're going to need donations." The nurse informed them. "Bullfrog has his blood type. I'm sure he'll donate!" CeCe offered, pushing Bullfrog forward. "What? Oh yes. I'll donate some." He said, understanding what his wife is talking about.
"Great. We need 10 more pints of blood." The nurse said. "Adam and I could test our blood type. And 3 of our friends are on their way." Clare volunteered. Adam shook his head yes. Fiona and Imogen came to hospital, Fiona's heels making a loud clanking sound as she took a step. Fiona realized that Clare and Adam didn't notice them so Fiona sprayed her perfume into Adam's hair. Adam screamed. "WHAT? WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT CLARE!" he shouted, confused. Clare looked at Fiona and started laughing. "Fiona. Hey guys." She replied, giggling.
"Hey Fi. Imo." Adam said, once he stopped laughing. The four continued to make jokes and act like their best friend didn't get shot until the nurse approached them. "Would you all like some blankets? It's midnight." She said. They shook their heads yes. They all went to sleep except for Clare, who tried the hardest to be optimistic.
Clare's POV
I studied the hallway to find something that could take my mind off Eli. What if he doesn't survive the transfusion? What if the blood is wrong and it killed him. Fiona, Imogen and I tested our blood type. Adam already knew he matched, and Fiona and I did too. There's a least one thing I could do to make it up to him. I fell asleep and was woken up by CeCe. "Clare-bear. Get up. It's 7. She said, with McDonald's.
We all ate in the cafeteria until Imogen said, "So what's happening to Eli now?" Everyone dropped their food and looked at CeCe. "Eli's being operated now. The doctor guarantees us he's going to survive." CeCe informed us. I sighed in relief. "But, there's a little chance he may not make it." She added. I dropped my biscuit when she said. That whole day, all I've been thinking about is Eli. Elijah Goldsworthy. I started to wonder about: "Mrs. Clare Diana Goldsworthy" but every time I think about that, it gets pushed by: "What if Eli doesn't make it? Then you can't marry him." Then, I imagine my promise. I decided that I will stay a virgin until I sleep with Eli when I'm ready. Then that evil cloud came again: "If he dies, you're never gonna sleep with a guy?"
I looked at the photos on my phone, and I went back to my screensaver, Eli and me at our special bench. It's like if fate wants me to suffer the wait. I melted down when I looked at Eli closely. His green eyes, his dark messy hair. His fond of the color green, his sarcasm, his humor, his amazing writing skills and so much more, and he loves me. I took him for granted in April.
I cried for about two hours until I saw Adam running down the hallway. "Clare! Clare!" he yelled, sprinting. "What!" I replied. Adam reached me and stopped to take a breath. 'I-It's Eli! He survived. His face is really, really pale and he's weak but he's ok! Eli's ok!" he cheered. I screamed happily, and started crying tears of joy. "CeCe and Bullfrog is visiting him right now." Adam said, hugging me. I haven't felt so happy since the party.
Eli's POV
As I woke up, everything around me was blurry. After a while, I realized that the room is just white. Plain white. Such a horrible color. I blinked and looked out the door, waiting for company. I sighed and my parents came in. My mom ran over to the bed and starting to color my pale cheeks with bright red lipstick. "Baby boy! I'm so happy that you're ok!" she cheered as I rubbed off the lipstick. My arm feels heavy, until I realized that I was shot there.
"I'm glad you're ok Eli." Bullfrog said. I smiled, then remembered about my signature smirk. I made it, and my parents smiled the widest I've ever seen them do. "Careful, we can't afford to fix that smirk." Bullfrog teased. "Bullfrog!" CeCe said, hitting him. "Eli could smile or smirk whenever he wants to. Would you like our son with a frown all the time? I'd go 'when did your pet die?' and then send him to a funeral!" CeCe continued. "He's already has the black! We just need a funeral to send him to…" Bullfrog teased. I laughed, but I wished I hadn't when pain formed in my body. CeCe immediately turned to me and rubbed my stomach.
Then, an idea came into my mind. "Hey mom, dad, can I be alone for just a sec?" I asked. CeCe looked at Bullfrog then hesitated and said, "Ok honey, we love you." And they walked out. I'm lucky to have parents like them. I know how they feel, like if you got attacked and then couldn't believe you survived. They can't believe that I survived, when ¾ of my blood left, and I got it back. It's real, that I'm really here. I set up my idea then I heard a knock on the door, and I knew it was Clare.
"Eli?" she said, angelically.
I know, really long chapter. *O* Please tell me what you think, too soft, too detailed, too something. Please review! 2 reviews and I'll post Chapter 9. And I'm going to start naming chapters, if that's fine with you guys, of course! Tell me if you think I should do that
