EilPOV

We walked into the hospital. Why does this have to happen again? Jewel and now Clare. I stood with Adam and Marie while Mrs. Edwards went to check with the doctors. "What's taking so long?" I said.

"Eli, she is going as fast as she can" Adam said. I just sat down and closed my eyes only to see Clare's blue eyes.

"Eli, Adam, and Marie. Clare is awake, it was just something minor. Her hand is stitched up and is asking for you Eli. Right in there" Mrs. Edwards said and pointed at a door.

I just turned and walked into the room there was Clare sitting in there on her bed as the doctor finished up. "Eli" she said. I walked to her after the doctor walked out.

"Clare, why didn't you listen to me and go away? Clare what if her hurt you worse?" I said.

"I wasn't going to leave you there alone, he could've hurt you. Eli, I'm with you and there was no way I was leaving you alone. I'm fine." Clare said and just pulled me into a hug when she was down talking.

I could tell that she was scared. "Clare, I'm here" I whispered in her ear and rubbed her back. Adam, Marie, and her mother walked in.

"Clare" said Marie. Clare sat up and Marie hugged her. Clare hugged her back. I sat down on the bed with her. "How are you feeling?"

"Like I need to get away, as soon as I'm out can we head to the cabin" She said and I smiled.

"I would, but you think that is a good idea?" Marie said looking at Clare's mother.

"I think it would a good idea, you were going to your grandmothers so your father and I could figure things out. Go have fun with your friends." She said.

"Mom, are you sure?" Clare asked looking at me.

"Yes, go I'm going to see when you can go" she said and left.

Clare frowned and looked down. "This isn't going to end well. I just want to get away." Clare said.

I grabbed her hand "We are here for you. I'm not going anywhere." I said. Marie grabbed her other hand and Adam sat his hand on her shoulder. I smiled and she smiled back.

Clare's mother walked in and we all just looked at her. "You are clear to go, Darcy is here to take me home" Mrs. Edwards said.

"Yes, but I have to go home and pack" Clare said.

"I know, we are going by the Dot first, have fun." Mrs. Edwards walked out and Clare jumped up.

I grabbed her hand and I saw Adam grab Marie's hand. We walked out to my car, Clare got in the front with me and Adam and Marie got in the back.

ClarePOV

I sat there by Eli and I was glad to be back. "Eli" I whispered as he started to drive.

"Yeah, Blue Eyes" he said smirking over at me.

I looked down. "Tell me why you didn't just let the thing with Fitz go?" I asked him.

He took a quick look over at me, then looked back at the road. "When I was nine there was this kid named Mike, no matter how fast I was he was always faster." He said.

"You're not nine anymore" I said.

"Neither are the bullies" he said. "What am I support to do?"

"I don't have an answer" I said and then looked over at him. "But if it is this I can't be with you."

He pulled up at my place and looked at me. "Clare I don't want to lose you, but I can't promise it won't be like this" he said.

I opened the door and nodded. I got to the door and unlocked it. Eli, Adam and Marie followed me into the house. Marie followed me up to my room. I grabbed my bag I was going to use for school, but didn't. "Clare, don't be too hard on Eli. I bet he was only trying to keep you safe" she said.

I looked over at here and then back to what I was doing. "I know, but he should have just told one of the teachers or someone. It wouldn't have gotten me stitches" I said looking over at my closest.

"Clare there is always going to be that 'should of, would of, could of, but didn't' just be lucky that you are both still here and not dead" she said then she followed my glance. "What are you looking at?"

"Um… this summer Ali got me to go into Victoria Secret. I was going to return the stuff and then I saw Eli and Ali wouldn't let me" I said.

"What you buy?" Marie asked.

I blushed and looked away "A push up bra and matching panties; a bikini, that cover's pretty good and a PJ set. Why?" I asked.

"Bring them, you love Eli right? And Eli loves you, right?" she said.

"Yeah, but Eli almost got killed today" I said.

"Clare, just think about everything that could happen this week, when school starts; he will be gone for the first week right? Take a chance, I don't mean to be rude, but who says you'll come back to happiness here. Clare if I were you I'd take the chance. You'll know if he really loves you he will ask if your sure, then it's all you" she said.

"Wow, where did you learn that?" I asked.

"My ex" she started. "girlfriend."

"Oh, I think I'll try" I said. I walked over and got the bag. "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure" She said sitting down on my bed.

"Why did you two brake up?" I asked her I walked back to my bag.

"Her mother is like my mom, never truly home. She stayed with her father who was very important person in France's government. She came over to my place and told me it was over she had to go out with this guy her father wanted her to go out with. Her father had no idea that she was with me. She didn't even care what I thought about the idea of telling her father. Then Three months latter I was raped" she said.

"Hey Marie, you love your twins right?" I asked her.

"With all my being" she said.

"Then yes the rape was bad, BUT it brought you the two most wonderful people in your life, losing her gained you two beautiful girls" I said.

"Thanks Clare" she said and hugged me.

I finished and we went downstairs. Eli carried my bag out to the car and then we all drove to Marie's place. Riley, Zane, Abby, and Hope were all ready and waiting by the car. Well Abby and Hope were asleep in the van all ready. Adam and Marie rode over to Eli's in the van that we were talking to the cabin.

"Clare, you're not mad about tonight are you?" Eli asked me.

"Well kinda, but I think I can forgive you, but you have a lot of work on your hands" I said.

"I'll get right on that" he said as we pulled up to his place. I smiled as we got out. I walked to the van as Eli ran in and grabbed his and Adam's bags. Then we were

I sat my head on Eli's shoulder and fell asleep, as Marie did with her head in Adam's lap.

EliPOV

I looked at Adam and said "She is the best thing that has ever happened to me."

"Same here I am glad I found Marie. Even with the twins, I love all three of them" Adam said.

I can't put my finger on it but I think I know Marie from somewhere, but where?
