I just saw Eli and my heart melted and then i saw the promo for when he gets beat up and i'm sad now...
:'(((
2 Hours Later
Alli's POV
I was at the Dot when I saw him.
Eli, he was barely conscious, on the ground in an alley.
He was beaten pretty badly. His lip was fat, his body had bruises all over, and one of his cheeks had a gash. He had blood dripping from the scar on his forehead and into his hair, since he was lying down.
"Oh my god," I shouted and brought out my cell phone, calling the police and then…
"Clare…" I started.
"Alli, is that you?"
"Clare… Eli,"
"Yeah, I haven't seen him in hours. Adam said he went for a walk."
"Clare… he's on the ground."
"What do you mean?" her voice growing increasingly high and worried.
"He's barely breathing, he's not okay."
"Oh my god… oh my god…" her voice broke. "Where is he?"
"An alley, near the Dot, he was beaten. His lip is busted and he has scars there's blood in his hair…"
He started coughing. "Alli…"he said.
"What? He's talking."
"Fitz… is a monster."
"Fitz did this to you?"
Clare gasped on the phone.
"Is that… ow…" he clutched his side.
"Yes, it's Clare."
"Give it to me,"
Clare's POV
When I heard Eli's voice the world stopped and time froze.
"Hey, beautiful." he said.
"Hey? All you say is hey? Don't you dare die on me." my voice wavering
I could see him smiling weakly. "I wouldn't leave you for anything,"
I started crying silently, so he wouldn't hear me. "Why?"
"Because he hurt Adam and he had hell to pay."
Now I really broke down inside. "Did you hit him?"
"Nope, all I did, with… ow… Adam's okay… was revealing to people that he beat up a girl."
"Adam's a girl?"
"Yeah… long story,"
"Look, I love him anyway."
"Ow… Clare…"
"Eli?"
"What?"
"I love you,"
"I love you too," and then I heard a light thud. My heart raced like it wanted to take control of my feet and get me over there.
Alli took the phone away. "He's passed out, what should I do?" she screeched.
She was pacing, I can tell.
"I'm two minutes away. Just hold on Alli. Call Dave and Connor and especially Adam and tell them what happened."
Dave's POV
Clare wasn't crying when we got over there.
"Clare, are you sure you don't want to cry?" Alli said, wrapping her arms around her.
Clare blinked back tears as she stroked his cheek. "Not in front of him, conscious or otherwise"
"It's going to be okay." Adam says, leaning in the corner. "I hope,"
Clare whines and Alli shushes her. Now I remember how they became best friends.
He's been feeling guilty this whole time.
"Adam, this isn't your fault," I say and he laughs dryly.
"It might as well be,"
Alli looked at me. Something was off with her. I could tell.
I should do something.
I promised I'd always be there for her.
Hell, I even pinkie swore.
"Alli, I want to talk to you,"
She stroked Clare's hair as Clare held Eli's hand. "Clare?" she asked.
"You go, it's fine." Clare's voice shook so Connor and Adam came over.
I led her out front.
"You're talking to me?" she mutters, looking down and kicking a pebble. "After what a bitch I was?"
"Hallelauah, she sees the light." I joke.
"Dave... i didn't... it's just... I have been making so many mistakes and i just wanted to be right about... something..." she explains. "I have horrible taste and can't do that i guess, without you guys. And i know this is going to heal things 100% but... I don't know. I'm a careless selfish... whatever... and as much as I need you in my life... you don't have to forgive me."
She plopped down her purse in the dirt. "Said all I could say, let me have it."
"Alli..." I start. "It might not heal things 100% just yet... but I think I can do more than forgive you."
She squealed and jumped into my arms. "I have the best friends in the world!"
"Yeah, just next time remember it."
She looked up at me. Again, she was short.
"I will..." she said, in a voice I've never seen Alli use.
Was Alliah Bhandari, our Alli, nervous? Around me? Really?
I looked down at her biting her lip.
"Uh, I better get back to Clare..." she said again... nervous as she picked up her purse and stumbled.
This. Was. So. Weird.
"Now wait a minute... Alliah Melinda (AN- I always do that when I don't know middle names, use the actors) Bhandari, are you nervous?"
"N-n-no," she stuttered. "I-I... Coming Clare!"
I grab her arm. "Clare didn't call you..."
She swallowed. "I-I thought I... uh... h-heard something, like an Alli."
"You like me,"
Her eyes fell to the ground. "I've always liked you Dave."
"No... I mean like me."
She shrugged and kicked that imaginary pebble again. Then she reached up and kissed my cheek.
"So what if I do?" she muttered and used the time while I was stunned to run back to Clare.
Then I heard sirens in the distance and remembered why I was here.
But still... Alli's confusing!
