Hey Guys. I know it's been a few weeks again. I'm really sorry about that. It's just that it was the end of the semester for me in May, and then the new semester started right away and I didn't really catch a break. Then I get a new job that is taking up all of my time. Plus, I was working on a couple of stories I have under wraps right now, and it just kind of piled up and hit me.

So since I had some time off yesterday and today I figured I would finally finish the chapter. I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out what I should do with it. If I should be vague with the hospital care or if I should give more detail. So it was difficult for an indecisive writer like me.

Anyways. Here's the next Chapter. As Always, Read And Review!


Clare's POV

Eli let me cry into his chest for awhile longer, until Dr. Hatzilakos came back.

"Clare?" She called sending a nurse in front of her, bringing in a cart with a machine on it. "I just want to do an ultrasound to make sure. And to make sure nothing is wrong."

"Okay." I mumbled. Eli released me when she had me lay on my back, and sat back against the mattress at an angle so he could have my head in his lap. She had me open my robe just on my stomach so it didn't show anything else.

"This will be a little cold." She continued. The nurse booted up the machine, before leaving the room. While Dr. Hatzilakos squirted some gel onto my stomach. I nodded not wanting to trust my voice right now. She put the wand onto my stomach and started moving it around. I was staring at the ceiling, not being able to look. I just wanted this to be over. "There's not much to see unless you know what to look for." She paused for second, focusing on moving the wand around on my stomach. "There." She sighed, before turning to me. "Do you want to look?"

"No." I stated, staring up at the ceiling. "I can't. I can't look." I began shaking my head as I felt the tears brimming my eyes again.

"You don't have to, Clare. It's okay." Eli reassured leaning over to look at me. "What are her options?" He asked for me, while I put my hands over my face trying to calm down.

"Well there is Aspiration, which is a procedure we do that involves a machine to clean out the uterus." She began.

"No." I removed my hands and shook my head. "What's the another one?"

"The only other one that is available here, is Mifepristone. Which is a pill that pretty much works just like Levonorgestrel, which is known as the morning after pill. It brings on your period, which cleans out your uterus naturally." She explained.

"I'll do that one." I sighed, putting my hand over my eyes again.

"Alright. You don't need to be here to do that option. So if you would prefer, I can have you discharged by this evening." I nodded before speaking.

"Yeah. I want to go home." I stated.

"Okay. I'll go get that set up for you, and you can use these to clean yourself up." She replied, handing me some tissues before standing up and bring the machine with her.

"Okay. Thanks." I sighed again, wiping up my stomach. "I hate this." I told Eli after she left.

"Everything will be okay. I'll be right here." Eli stated, pulling me up to him, wrapping his arms around me. Every time Eli reassures me, it gives me hope but at the same time makes me want to cry more as well. I can't really win. "Do you want you tell your family?"

"No." I shook my head immediately. "I can't possibly tell them. It's against everything my parents believe. I can't deal with all of this and with the fall out with them."

"Okay. Don't worry. I won't say anything. I just was putting it out there." He reassured, as Adam entered the room. The moment Adam did, however, I knew something was wrong.

"What's wrong?" Eli asked before I could.

"They found Alli's body." Adam sighed, sitting on the end of the bed. I sat up from lying on Eli's chest, and leaned back against the pillow. I rubbed at my eyes, to get them to look more decent.

"I figured they would have a while ago." Eli spoke, confused.

"Nope. Apparently she was put somewhere secluded, possibly to get rid of any evidence on who dumped her." Adam explained. He glanced at me and then frowned, but didn't say anything.

"What about Sav? Do you know anything about him?" I asked Adam.

"He's dead too. He died here that day. Someone found him and called 9-1-1, but it was apparently too late. He died shortly after coming here." He sighed.

"They lost both kids." I shuddered, fighting off the tears. "Because of me."

"This is Asher's fault. Not yours." Eli stated, wrapping his arm around me and pulling me into his side.

"Everything is just falling apart." I sighed, putting a hand over my eyes.

"Clare, it's going to be okay." Adam said.

"Dr. Hatzilakos is letting you go tonight, remember?" Eli reassured. "Once you are home in your bed, things will get better."

"Maybe." I sighed, dragging the hand down my face. Eli took it, and interlaced our fingers before kissing my temple.

A phone buzzed in the room, and Eli let go of my fingers to reach into his pocket. He pulled out the phone and flipped it open reading the message.

"My parents are here." He stated.

"Go. You have barely spent any time with them. You need to." I pushed.

"I can see them later. Once you are out of the hospital." He explained.

"No. Go. I know you Eli, you aren't going to. You'll find every excuse in the book to get out of spending time with them. You lost each other for five years. Don't make it any longer." I continued.

"Fine. But I'll be back in an hour." He exhaled, before getting off the bed. He leaned down and kissed my temple again before leaving the room. I turned to Adam, after Eli had gone.

"I see you seem better." I began. "You don't look tired."

"I'm not." He said, smiling. "It actually wasn't that bad. A little awkward at first but I got used to it. They even brought me some of my clothes from back home. Apparently, they never got rid of my room. So it's all still there."

"That's great, Adam." I smiled.

We talked for a little while longer, before Darcy and Jake returned. They were friendly with Adam, just like they were with Eli. They both seemed to really like Eli and Adam, which is good considering I'm not losing contact with them any time soon. I just hope that having them all get along with each other will help the good things to look forward to outweigh the bad.

Gosh. I need some good in my life right now.
