New Year, New Chapter

by NCMSBear

Many Changes happen in life. Eli and Clare's changes are good and bad at the same time. Their friends, family and boy/girlfriend are doing great but what happens when other people interfere? Prequel To The Rest Of Our Lives.

9. The Talk

Chapter 9 is going to be short to give you guys a breather from chapter 8, my longest chapter ever! This chapter is just about Clare and Eli in the hospital room. Review! And tell me what you think if I should start naming my chapters since it's going to be throughout the 2011-2012 school year. Thanks and review! ;J

Eli's POV

"Hey Clare. I missed you." I said, calmly. She looked worried and distressed. "Are you ok?" I asked. Clare started to cry. "No. No. Eli. I'm so so sorry about what happened. This is all my fault." She started. "If I haven't took you for granted in April, we wouldn't of broken up. I would've never dated Jake. He never would've been your enemy since we got back together." She continued. I felt a little broken, but I wanted to hear her out. "I'm going to miss so much about you if you were gone." She started to actually cry. "Your looks, your personality, your sarcastic humor, your, your everything. And it's my fault that you are gone. It's my fault you were on anxiety and my fault Morty "died" it's my fault you were ever sad or hurt. I'm not perfect, but you are. You are exactly what I needed and loved, and I almost lost you, just for a stupid mistake." She cried.

"And I love you. I learned from my mistakes, I just wish I learned them earlier. I wish that one day, that I could hug you and tell you I love you and be sure I won't lose you. And we could live together, with kids and a perfect life. That you could always still be around for Alli to make fun of you being goth, but I know you're not. That's just what you like to wear, and that's partly why I love you. Just one more kiss, and I could say I love you." She said, and I leaned in to hug her. It hurt, but I did it. "I love you Clare. And that one day, maybe another year, or decade. If we're lucky, the rest of our lives, I'll still love you." I said, feeling a tear to come down. "God, who ever said that men don't cry, they must've been lonely in a shed all day." I added, hearing Clare laugh.

"That's the sarcastic humor I love, Goldsworthy." She said. "Well Blue Eyes, thanks for being here for me." I said, and I hugged her deeply, no matter how much it hurt, because I was in love.
