Lost Innocence
Chapter one
I was in Eli's car Morty. We were driving home from school, and it was a nice day. Not many clouds in the sky, the sun was out, and it was nice and warm. Eli said that we had to do something nice today, because it was suppose to be raining later in the week. So we were going on another one of our urban adventures, back to the rundown church that we had a party in. I was nice there, and we kept the hammock that we put up there for the party. We did not plan anything. We just knew that we were going to the church.
We finally got there, and Eli came over to my side of the car and opened the door for me. I got out of the car and Eli put his arm around me. I feel so safe whenever he does that. It feels like nothing can hurt me, and nothing can go wrong. We make our way to the hammock, it just seemed so welcoming. No one really cleaned up after the party. Eli, Adam and I we suppose to do that at lunch today, but Adam was not in school for some reason. So, we decided to do it when he gets back. And let's face it, Eli and I could not clean all that up by our self's. "Clare, you should learn how to drive." Eli says breaking the silence.
"And why do you say that?" I ask tilting my head back so I can see his face.
"Because, what you don't want to learn how to drive one day?" Eli asks me back.
"I do, but I don't know how well I can. I will hit something." I said.
"Don't doubt yourself. I think you can." He say looking down at me.
"I'm not doubting myself. Fine I will try it, but if I hit something I blame you." I said defending myself.
"When don't you blame me?" Eli says smirking
"When do I blame you?" I said trying to smart-mouth him. He never answered me. Instead he kissed me.
I walked into school. We cannot hold, or hug, or show any affection towards each other. New school rule ever since are "Night in Vegas" party. Eli almost died that night. Dang that was scary. But, it's ok now because Fits when to jail or something. We don't have to worry about him coming back anymore.
I see Eli by his locker, which is one locker away form mine. "Hello." I said walking to my locker and putting my combination in the lock.
"Hey Clare, I was thinking, maybe you can drive to my house after school today, and we can clean up my room some more. Is it a date?" He said
"Sorry, after school I'm busy, maybe some other day." I said getting my books out of my locker.
"So be it." he said just as the bell rang telling us to go to class. "Cya in writing?"
"Count on it" I said walking to my first period class.
Eli was outside the door of my first period class room. I guess his class got let out early, but that did not matter. He had a worried look on his face. He looked almost…scared. "Hey, what's wrong?" I said as we walked to our lockers.
"Clare, I just overheard some people talking." He said he was shaking.
"What were they saying?" I said, he was making me scared.
"Clare, Fitz is getting out of jail" He said, stopping to look me in the eyes.
"Wha-what?" I said. I was petrified
