2 WEEKS LATER…

CLARE POV

"Eli! Stop *laughter* oww *more laughter*" Eli was tickling me! He wouldn't stop until I admitted what I had dreamt about the other night. Of course I still wasn't going to tell him that I had dreams were he told her he was in love with me. So he soon gave into me, I did not expect him to take the next approach.

"But Clare-Bear! I really really want to know!" he whined and puckered out his lip and bashed his eyes at me. I pushed his shoulder away but he grabbed her as he fell to the floor. Then he rolled over on top of me. "Okay Clare! You asked for it. I, Eli Goldsworthy am NOT! I repeat NOT! Moving an inch until you tell me!" his closeness made me shutter. His breath blew across my neck like a small gust of cool wind in the hottest of all deserts. I had only kissed him that one time, we act as if that never happened now. But the passion was running like a surge of energy threw my body. His face bent down really close to hers "Clare. Wont you please tell me, tells your extremely cute, and irresistible friend, I'm worried sick!" his breath made her who body want to erupt.

ELI POV

I knew I was making her nervous by my closeness and I knew I could hardly resist the temptation, but I had to because she needed a friend.

"Elijah! You have nothing to worry about okay? So stop worrying it wasn't even a bad dream! Just a personal one!" she looked down and blushed as she finished her sentence. I decided to tease her. "Clare…" I whispered right by her ear. "Did you have a dream, about someone who happened to look JUST like me?" I was still whispering but you could feel the sarcasm is my voice. Even then I bent my face down to hers a moment from kissing her for our second first kiss, then out of nowhere, she pushes, really pushes me off of her and she started to run back home. Did I do something wrong? I could swear that she wanted it. Hmm maybe I misunderstood.

"Clare wait, where are you going in the middle of the night? At least let me drive you! As we drove to her house she didn't say anything. Every time I tried to talk she would drown me out. I tried to reach for her hand; she snatched it away before I got a hold of it, though I would never admit it but it hurt me deep. I swore she liked me just as much as I liked her!

3rd person POV

The next day at school, Clare would avoid Eli, she didn't want to admit that she wanted to kiss him back, but it hurt that he could never feel the same way she did. But she wouldn't let herself fall in love again, she swore to it. Darcy was still here, and KC still liked her, Darcy still wanted to talk to her about the kiss with Eli a couple weeks ago. But she always could avoid her by hanging out with Eli. The truth was, now that she was sure that she was falling for him, she was really in need of some sisterly talk. She knew that with KC she needed Darcy, when he broke her heart, she needed Darcy. And now she was falling, again.

The bell rang and she rushed off to media immersions class. Alli was already there and as soon as she saw Clare she started to get all bouncy

"Tell me EVERYTHING!" Clare sighed.

"There is absolutely nothing to tell." She wasn't going to tell her about her embarrassing moment, where she realized how much she really wanted Eli, and how much she knew it was a bad idea.

"Clare, don't lie to me! Eli came up to me and asked me why you ran out on him? I asked him what he did and he said it was up to YOU to tell me, so spill." She answered as a matter of fact tone. Clare wished so much that Eli would let it go.

Alli POV

What was Clare not telling me! Okay, I will get it out of her eventually. Okay think Alli THINK! What would make Clare run away? What was she most afraid of? Then it hit her.
"Eli kissed you?"

CLARE POV

"What how did you know this?" how did she know that!

"Clare you have to admit that you're falling for him, I know you're scared, but not everyone is like KC. You have to give him a chance; if you can't take a few heart breaks you will never find true love Clare-bear!" how could she dig deep into me like this? How could she know? "Alli, I am no good for Eli. He deserves someone beautiful, someone who he would never find a better version of. Someone who, who can make him fall for her just as bad, someone who isn't me."

"Clare! He obviously feels the same way! And you are too beautiful! Stop putting yourself down Clare-bear." With that the bell rang.

ALLI POV

I couldn't let her sit there and wallow in pain, I know she doesn't want me to tell Eli what she told me, but how could I not when she wouldn't herself. She loved Eli, and I was almost certain he loved her too.

ELI POV

"Eli! Eli! Hold up!" who was yelling at me? I turned around and saw Clare's friend Alli run up to me.
"What? Is Clare okay?" what happened?
"Do you love Clare?" wow she was blunt about it. Did I love Clare? Is that what I am feeling? IT IS!
"I, yeah! I do. I am in love with Clare." Why did I tell her this?

"Well she is in love with you too. She will never admit it to anyone except me, so with the information I give you I expect my plan to work for not keeping my promise to tell anyone okay?" wait what? What is she saying?

"Clare is afraid of love, she doesn't see herself clearly, she had her heart broken by that KC bastard, and even though it was because he was a shallow loser, she keeps telling herself it was because she isn't good enough for him, she thinks that she isn't pretty enough or loving enough, she told me that you deserve someone like Jenna, who by the way is who KC left her for. So you have to prove to her that she IS beautiful and irreplaceable, and good, and that you love her! But you can't let her know that I told you to do so, she will never believe it, and she would think that you were just under pressure. She doesn't like change, so just draw her out of her comfort zone, tell her how you feel, show her! Make her feel it too!" with that she just walked away like we were making small talk instead of proving my love for her best friend. She was definitely not like Clare, that's for sure.
