My Soulmate

Chapter 3: Teadrops

"What a wake up call!" Eli stated. We stared at each other for a moment before we embraced. His hands were in a tight grip of me as my head was resting on his shoulder.

"I am so mad at you!" I spoke, with a single teardrop escaping my eye. I pulled away from him as I was speaking.

"I'm so sorry Clare," Eli said, wiping the tear with is thumb. He turned to face me. He pulled my head down to place a gentle kiss on my forehead, "I didn't mean to do that, it's just Fitz..."

"-Don't even talk about it...I don't wanna re-live that. It was too...painful."

Eli and I changed the subject and started talking about what school was going to be like when we got back, but I started thinking. What if Fitz actually killed Eli? How would I be able to handle that? I didn't notice, but yet another tear fell down my face. As I abruptly stopped talking to Eli and started to think more and more about him dying, the tears started to flood down my cheeks and I buried my head into his partly bandaged chest.

"Clare, it's going to be okay! I'm not dead...see?" Eli said, rubbing my back gently and trying to comfort me.

"I never wanna lose you EVER! I love you, Eli!" I jerked up looking at him. Silence. We awkwardly gaped at each other as my mind processed what I just said to him. Did I seriously just say that? Am I in love?

"I-I love you too. I always have. From the moment we were assigned English partners, I knew I wanted to be with you." Eli admitted, trying to sit up, but failing as he plopped back down in pain.

"Ow!" he shouted.

"Eli! Are you okay?" I screamed. I was paranoid from what happened during Vegas Night.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm okay. I didn't know it was going to hurt this much."

"Well, Eli, I have to go. My parents are going to kill me if I get home late. I'll swing by tomorrow, okay?" I got up off of the hospital bed, kissed Eli on the cheek, and then started to walk out of the room until I heard Eli mutter something.

"Bye, Clarey. I love you."

"Bye, Elijah. I love you, too." I muttered back. This time, I was definitely sure about it. I am in love with Elijah Goldsworthy.
