Clare P.O.V

I woke up and say straight up in my bed. I felt a stinging sensation on my arm to see a cut with some blood dripping out. I gasped.

"Ewwww." I shrieked to myself

I suddenly heard footsteps coming up the stairs. I got up and went to go grab something. Crap, it looks like I'm cutting. I giggled, how the heck did this happen? Then there was a knock at the door and suddenly Eli's head peeked in.

"Clare?" Eli asked

I looked down at what I was wearing, I felt my cheeks burn up. "Eli? How did you get in here? No one's home!" I said

"I know where you guys hide your key." Eli laughed. Eli's expression changed when he saw my arm, the blood was still dripping out like a loose faucet. "What happened to your arm?" He asked coming to me and immediately taking my arm.

"I woke up and it was bleeding. I have no idea how it happened." I shrugged

"This looks like you were cutting yourself." Eli raised his eye brows

"Eli!" I snatched my arm away, "I'm not cutting myself. I just woke up!" I grinned

"I knew you weren't." He smirked, taking my arm once again, "It's pretty long in length, I wonder what the hell you did."

"I'll just get a towel and a band aid." I said

I walked out of the room and heard Eli following me. Downstairs in the laundry room was a first aid kit with bandaids. I looked at my cut and at the bandaid. My cut was to big for the band aid. "Uh, Eli?"

"Yes beautiful?" He asked but then caught my gaze. "Here just wrap it. I'll do it." He ran my arm under water and dried it. He wrapped my arm and that was it.

"Thanks." I said, "I still don't know what I did."

"I'm gonna check your bed to see if there's anything sharp." Eli said

"I'm gonna change." I said smiling down at my tank top and pajama shorts

"You look cute either way." He winked at me and put his arm around me

"What made you come to my house? I thought I was gonna meet you later and you were gonna pick me up." I said walking upstairs with him.

"I missed you." He said

I smiled at him. "That's sweet."

"I know." He said and kissed my cheek.

I went into my room and got a pair of jeans with a blue, floral tank top and a black cardigan. I took my clothes to the bathroom and Eli was in my room to see what caused my cut. I had to be careful not to get the wrap too wet. I had a short shower but I loved the warm water down my back. I put on my clothes and brushed my teeth. I put on some makeup and I was done. I got out of the bathroom and went to my room.

"Eli?" I asked but there was no sight of him. I suddenly felt arms wrap around my waist.

"Yes, Blue eyes?" He whispered in my ears, "You look beautiful."

I turned around and met his eyes. I looked down at his lips. He must have caught my gaze because he kissed me. I returned the favor but pulled away. He groaned

"Did you find what caused the cut?" I asked putting my hand around his neck.

"Yup." He grabbed my hand and led me to the bed. He pointed to a hook on the head board of my bed. It was very sharp wire. "It's not rusted. Thank god."

"Oh thanks." I said, "I just have to cut that."

"I'm gonna cut it." He smirked and put his arm around me

"Fine, thanks." I smiled kissing him quickly "You hungry?"

"Yeah. Waffles?" Eli asked

"Sure." I nodded and we walked downstairs

Eli P.O.V

After we ate the waffles, we sat on the couch and watched TV. Then we later went to The Dot for a coffee. Soon it was 3:45 and we decided to drive to Adam's house. Clare and I got in the car and I started to drive.

"So what exactly are we gonna do to plan Adam's date?" I asked pulling Clare closer to me.

"I was thinking...2 chairs and that little table Adam's mom has. Spaghetti and meatballs and we dim the lights-"

"Wow, you've really thought this through." I said and Clare laid her head on my shoulder.

"I care about Adam." She smiled, "I want this date to go well for him."

"What else did you have planned?" I asked putting my free arm around her but keeping my eyes on the road.

"Well they can talk on the couch or something. Whatever their date leads them to. But you have to guide Adam how not to talk awkwardly." She smiled

"So I'm the expert at talking to girls?" I smirked

"Kind of...yes." She blushed and I pulled her closer if that was possible.

"I love when you blush. It's so cute." I smirked and she blushed even more

We soon got to Adam's house and Clare and I got out of the car. We walked up to the house and rang the doorbell. After less than a minute Adam opened the door.

"Hey guys!" Adam smiled at gave Clare a hug

"Hi!" I said Clare and I went in the door

"Tori's gonna be here at 5:00 not 6:30. We changed times so we can spend more time together." Adam said

"We have an hour?" I asked

Adam shrugged. Clare and I hurried to the kitchen and got out the stuff for spaghetti. While I was cooking, Adam and Clare were gonna set up the table in the corner by the window. It was a small, glass table but had a black border around it. They set a table cloth and Adam set down the plates. Clare got the utensils and napkins too. Clare dimmed the lights and Adam went to go change. I was putting the meatballs in the sauce with the pasta. I made sure all the other lights were dimmed or off.

Clare started picking up around the house. And I made sure everything tasted good. THe spaghetti was done! I took it off the heat and set it on the side.

"Eli?" Clare asked me

"Yup?" I said grabbing her hands and setting them on my shoulders.

"Should we put out bread or something?" She asked, her blue eyes brighter than ever

"Sure, whatever you want." I said in a daze

She and I heated up some fresh bread and set it in a bread basket on the table. Everything was good to go.

"So. Adam's upstairs." I said

"Yeah?" Clare tilted her head

"What do you want to do?" I asked

"Well, what do you wanna do?" Clare asked

"I have an idea." I smirked and crashed my lips onto hers. She gladly returned the offer. We kissed for a few more seconds until we heard someone clear their throat. And we pulled away. Thanks a lot Adam.

"Do you guys mind?" Adam crossed his arms

"Sorry." Clare grinned and I rolled my eyes. It was 5:00 and it was time for Clare and I to go. We said our goodbyes to Adam and hurried to the car before Tori could come. We wanted her to think he set up the date. We got in the car and I started driving.

"You're driving me home?" She asked...annoyed?

"Yeah, why?" I asked

"I wanna hang out with you." She smiled

"Where do you wanna go?" I asked

"I don't know. Have any ideas?" Clare asked

"How about the abandon church? We haven't been there since...I surprised you to go downtown to that comic convention." I said

"Wow, that's such a long time ago." Clare said leaning on my shoulder

"Since we broke up." I said and looked into her eyes. She kissed me for a few seconds and I put my eyes back to the road. It was dark out but that'd make it even more beautiful.

We soon got to the abandon church and got out of the car.

"Wow, Eli!" Clare said, "It's been so long since the 2 of us have been here. The last time we were here you had your hearse." Clare looked at me

"The good old days." I said, "I remember those times."

"I miss those days." Clare said coming up to me and grabbing my hand, intertwining our fingers. There was a silence. Then I finally said something.

"Well...we're together now." I smiled at her and she smiled back
