Okay, I've had this account for a while but never posted anything. So this is my first story on here. Review? Please and thank you. The reviews are what I live for (: I do not own anything, only the plot.

Clare's POV

I sat in my room wondering when the arguing would ever stop and blow over. Why can't they just work things out, for my sake and their own? I mean people who have been married this long should know how to work through anything, right?

Ugh. Wrong. Apparently it's a challenge for my parents. Wait! I ran over to the desk where my laptop sat and opened up a drawer. In that drawer lay the bulky pair of headphones that Eli had recently given me. Finally, time to put these to good use. Before I had a chance to put the headphones on, I heard something that caught my attention.

"Randall," Clare's mom began, "I want this to work! But I don't know if both of us are on the same page anymore."

"HELEN! If you haven't noticed, I have a lot on my plate lately. I can't make it to where every little thing is perfect for you!"

They both sat in silence for what seemed to be hours, but were really minutes. Clare's mother began to speak again.

"Well maybe the two of us living under the same roof right now isn't working out right now, Randall. It's not working out for us. It's certainly not working out for Clare. I'm sure she isn't crazy about us arguing 24/7. Maybe we should take a little break."

"I agree. It's what's best for this marriage at the moment." Clare's father said without any emotion whatsoever.

I can't stand listening to this anymore.

Fighting back tears, Clare threw the headphones on and laid down in her bed.

My parents are out there talking about "taking a break" and yet, all I can think about is Eli. I still remember the first thing, well maybe not the first, but the second thing he said to me. "You have pretty eyes." Eli is the first guy that I've had feelings for since KC…

I'm always stuck here in this hell-hole I call my home. "Wow, did I really just think that?" Right now, nothing seems more right in my life than Eli and I NEED to tell him how I feel. Tonight. I glanced over at my nightstand. My clock read 11:13 PM.

I pulled a folded piece of paper out from my pocket. I opened it up and read an address on it. Eli's address. I remember he'd given this to me and had told me that if I ever needed anything I'll know where to find him.

I thought for a moment, then cracked open my door to see if my parents were still out in the living room. No sign of anybody. Did I forget to mention that my dad is staying at a motel now while my mom stays here with me? Dad must have gone back to the motel and mom must be in bed. "Perfect." I thought to myself. I grabbed my house key, went outside, and locked up the house before I left. I started towards Eli Goldsworthy's home.

Wow. I'm actually doing this.

I can't wait to see what the future holds for me…

Please review, favorite, go crazy! Tell me how I did. Feel free to share your ideas with me. (:
