~ # ~ # ~ # ~ # ~ # ~ # ~

When Jake and Alli walked in the theater I thought I was going to die. I just cannot understand how my "best friend" was so willing to give up our friendship for a boy. I knew Jake wasn't big on relationships, but I never expected this out of him either.

Alli looked straight at me and she gripped Jake's arm. He frowned slightly, but they did sit down a few rows ahead of us. Eli and Adam turned and shot me a sympathetic look, "Do you want to go?"

I bit my bottom lip. Though the thought of watching Alli and Jake really upset me, I did not want to start giving in to them. I deserve to live my life and be happy. I shook my head, "No. We should stay."

They both looked pretty skeptical. Adam asked, "Are you sure Clare?"

Eli chimed in, "It's really no big deal if you want to go. We can just go back to my place and order a pizza."

"Thanks guys, but I want to stay. You guys went out of your way to take me today and I want to enjoy myself." I smiled confidently.

"Alright…." They whispered as the lights went down.

The movie passed slowly. It really did suck watching Alli laugh and cuddle with Jake the whole time. It sucked watching them kiss and "awww" at the cute parts. I didn't really pay that much attention to the movie so when it ended I was caught off guard by the lights coming back on.

"Did you like it?" Eli asked me. Adam was ruffling through candy bar wrappers trying to clean up after his self.

I nodded. I didn't want them to think this whole trip was a waste, "I did. Thanks for taking me out. I'm really glad we stayed." Adam smiled, "It's because we love you Clare."

"Aw Adam." I gave him a hug, causing Eli to smirk, "No hug for your favorite hearse driving hottie?"

I rolled my eyes and gave Eli a hug too, "Okay, let's get home. I still have to do some homework."

"Only you Edwards." Eli chuckled.

As we headed out of the theater, I heard a voice call my name, "Clare wait!" It was Alli. Jake was walking back to his truck and Alli looked kind of upset, "Please Clare?"

Eli stepped up to my side protectively, "Want me to tell her to get lost?"

I shook my head, "No you guys go ahead," I looked over at Alli, "I need to go deal with this."

"Sure you don't want back up?" Adam offered.

I smiled, "You're very sweet, but no. I'll be alright."

They nodded and headed to the car while I made my way to Alli.

She sighed, "Clare I shouldn't have done this to you. We've been best friends for a while now and I really am sorry Clare. I don't want this to get in the way of our friendship. You found a way to forgive Jenna for KC; can you find the same way to forgive me?"

"Alli you can't be serious," I gave out a chuckled of disbelief, "You lied to me. You snuck around with my boyfriend and then you rubbed him in my face. I never forgave Jenna, I just tolerated her for your sake, but that won't be necessary anymore I guess."

Alli's eyes welled up, "Please Clare? What can I do?"

I sighed, "Nothing. You chose to make this mistake so you can live with it. I never thought you would do this to me Alli. How could you?"

"I made a mistake Clare! I've been through a lot lately, you know this."

I rolled my eyes, "Like what Alli? Since we met I've been forgiving your mistakes. How much am I supposed to take Alli? I can't forgive you, not this time."

She sighed, "So what? This is just it? All of our friendship is just over?"

I nodded, "There's no friendship Alli. Friends don't do this to friends. I'm really done. I hope he was worth it…." I walked away from her and I felt a part of myself shrink. I know Alli can be a bit…out there, but we were good friends and losing that wouldn't be easy for me. But I don't want to be the kind of girl to be okay with this. And I'm not okay with it, so I'm done.

When I got to Morty Adam opened my door, "You okay?"

I looked back over at Alli, who was now in tears, and I nodded, "I will be. Let's go."

"If you need me, my phone is always on." Adam hugged me as he got out of the hearse.

I smiled at him, "Of course, thanks Adam."

Adam waved us goodbye and he headed into his house. Eli turned to me, "Where to now?"

"Home right?" I asked, slightly confused.

Eli rolled his eyes, "Always the logical one. I was thinking of taking you back to my place for a sleepover. We haven't had one in a really long time."

What he said was true. Eli and I used to sleep at each others houses twice a week if not more, but when I got with Jake we stopped because I felt weird about it. But I missed sleepovers with Eli. We always had so much fun even if we didn't do anything.

"On a school night?" I challenged.

He nodded with his usual smirk, "Your homework won't miss you for one night."

I sighed, "Alright just let me call my mom."

"Good girl." He chuckled before driving off to his place.

"Clare I think you should just come home. Your father and I think we could use some family time." My mom said into her phone.

I sighed, "Please mom? I've had a long week."

I heard my mom whisper something to my dad, "Alright you can go-"

"Thank you!" I shrieked, but my mom continued, "But make sure you do your homework."

"I will mom," Eli mouth 'liar' at me, causing me to giggle.

"Alright, have fun."

I smiled, "I will, love you." And I hung up.

"Mom?" Eli called out to CeCe as we entered his familiar house. People would be surprised how normal parts of his house are considering how odd his parents are.

"In here!" I recognized CeCe's sweet voice and I smiled.

Eli and I walked to the kitchen and plopped down on the bar stools as CeCe pulled out a pan of her famous fresh brownies. I smiled wide, "You're the best!"

She giggled, "Someone may have mentioned these could make you happy tonight."

I looked over at Eli, "You?"

Eli nodded, "Could we take them upstairs?"

CeCe pulled out a paper plate and piled on the brownies, "Just don't make a mess."

"We won't." We smiled and we made our way up the steps to Eli's room.

Once upstairs Eli sweetly opened his door, "After my lady," I stepped in and took the brownies from him before settling down on his bed, "I'm tired."

Eli held himself over me and fed me a brownie. I ate it without a complaint. Eli smiled at me, "Are you feeling any better?" He went to his closet and began to rummage around, probably for something I could sleep in.

I sighed, "No, but I'm glad we went out today. Time is supposed to heal right?"

Eli handed me one of his band tee shirts and some sweats, "Supposedly, but when all else fails I'll always be here to make you feel better Edwards."

I got out of bed, with the clothes, but I stopped to hug him, "I know. Thanks Eli, for everything. You really know how to make a girl feel better."

Eli chuckled before he smirked, "I told you the ladies love me."

I rolled my eyes, "I'm going to go change."

When I was re-dressed in more comfortable attire, I came out and I saw Eli was wearing the same thing as I was. I giggled, "We're like twins!"

"If I'm going to be twins with someone at least it's my little Clare Bear anyone else may not be cool enough." He said smugly as I got in bed with him and cuddled up in his chest.

I rolled my eyes, "Oh yeah, Dr. Doom is way too cool for everyone else."

Eli laughed and he kissed my cheek, "You know it."

"Goodnight Eli."

He seemed hesitant, "Clare?"

"Yes?"

"I love you, you know that right?" He whispered.

I nodded, "I know," I kissed his cheek as he had mine; "I love you too."

He smiled, "Goodnight Clare."
