Chapter Two: Parties and Secrets

April 16th, 2009

Eli sat at the picnic tables outside of Degrassi Community School, taping his fingers against the beat of the music him and Julia were listening too. Her head was laying in his lap and her eye slightly closed as she hummed along to the song. Eli smirked at her and she smiled back at him.

"Eli, Julessssssssss." Clare sing walking up to the picnic table.

The two of them removed the head phones and Julia sat up, smiling at her best friend who was glowing. Eli cocked a suspicious eyebrow. "Whats up Happy?" he said.

"Nothing Grumpy." She said with a face ready to fight on.

Eli simply rolled his eyes at his best friend and Julia smiled. "Who is it?" she asked.

"How did you know?" Clare said bitting her lip.

Eli was looking at his painted nails and pretended not to hear the girls conversation, but he was tuned in.

"Your my best friend, I'm a girl. I haven't ever seen you this happy, spill." Julia said.

"Adam Torres." Clare said smiling.

Eli felt Julia tense next to him, and he gave her a questioning look.

"Aw, thats great Clare bear." she said smiling and grasping Clare's hand. "Is he taking you out?" Julia asked.

"No! Thats why I am here and not eating lunch with him and Drew," Julia's body tensed up again. "There parents are out of town, Drew's inviting Alli over and I'm inviting you two, and the six of us are going to have a small party at their house. Kay?" Clare smiled.

Julia, no longer smiled she just nodded.

"When?" Eli asked, his eyes greener then ever.

"Um, tomorrow night. Bring your swimsuit."

Eli smirked, a fake smirk a feeling he's never felt before fighting over him. He wasn't jealous, Clare had dated before he didn't care. She was just his best friend, but he's never seen her this happy. Part of him wanted to be the reason Clare was glowing. There was another part to his mood, anger. The way Julia had tensed up when Clare mentioned the Torres' brother, he didn't like that at all. Eli wasn't looking forward to tomorrow night, not at all.

April 17th, 2009

Eli sat in the passenger seat of Clare's BMW, Morty wouldn't start, he would pick today. His was flicking through the radio stations while the two best friends waited for Julia. They had all cleaned out Eli's room earlier today and Julia was having issues's over other people seeing her body. Though it never bothered Eli or Clare, other people it might.

When Julia lived at home, her and her step mom never got along. They fought everyday and all night. But Sheryl was the only mom Julia ever knew and she loved her. So she trusted her, when her mom wasn't drunk off of her ass or hitting Julia was random objects, she was a decent women. It was Julia's dads fault she was the way she was, he didn't give her the attention she needed so she took it out on Julia.

One day, Julia came home after a concert with Eli, Clare, and Clare's ex boyfriend K.C.. She was stumbled into the house, slightly drunk. Sheryl was already plastered when Julia shut the door a little to loud, and all hell broke lose. Julia didn't feel her mom hit her in the head with a vase, she didn't feel her tie her to a wooden chair, but she did feel her though a match down her shirt and her body start to burn.

That was the last night Julia ever went home, the beginning of Julia's new life.

"What the hell is taking her so long?" Eli groaned.

Clare looked at him and shrugged.

"Whats up blue eyes?" Eli asked.

"Nothing, it's just every time I've mentioned Adam around her, her body tenses. I just find it odd."

"So I'm not crazy?" Eli asked. "Because I felt that too."

"No. I think its just her coming off the coke and alcohol."

I hope your right. Eli thought.

At Adams & Drew's:

Julia ran her fingers over her nibbled skin on her chest and stomach, feeling ashamed. She didn't want Alli or Adam to see her skin. It was ugly, her body was hideous. She remembered when she was proud of her body, her dark skin, her toned abs, and her skinny figure. She sighed and grabbed Eli's black v-neck and threw it over her covering up her dark purple swimsuit. She didn't care though.

Walking out of Adam's room, she passed Drew's, his dark figure sitting on his bed head hung over and hands in his hair. "You coming?" Julia said smiling at him.

"Yeah, I'll out there in five minutes."

Julia nodded and made her way to the Torres' back yard and looked at Clare with her arms wrapped around Adam and smiling. She then looked at Eli, his eyes were black and Alli was blabbing about something. Julia walked over to the hot tub and got in, Clare smiled at her and Julia winked.

Eli rolled his eyes and pulled Julia into him and kissing her forehead. "I love you." he whispered in her hair.

"You too." Julia said kissing him for a second.

After Drew had join the five other teenagers, truth or dare begun. Everyone was kissing everybody, it was normal. Until one kiss lead the game to be over.

"I'm going to change." Julia said after the five other teens took their turns. Clare and Eli was sitting at the island eating pizza, Adam and Drew were laughing at Alli being covered in whip cream, while Julia still felt sick to her stomach.

After putting her clothes back on she walked out of Adam's bathroom, when she felt a body press against hers. She sighed and relaxed once she realized who it was, "I've missed you." he whispered in her ear.

She let out a small moan and dug her fingers in his hair, their lips moving fast against one another and hot. "I've missed you too." she whispered when he begin kissing her next, "but we cant do this, Eli will walk in." She moaned when his perfect teeth went into her skin. "He's already suspecting." she whispered running her hands down his back.

"Just break up with him. My mom already said if you wanted to the pool house was yours, you don't need him." he whispered.

"I cant do that, not to him." she looked him in the eyes, sparks going off in them.

"Whatever." he said before turning around, but she grabbed him and pulled him hardly on her.

"Tomorrow night I'll say I'm to Maggie's and come here and spend the night. You just have to make sure your brother keeps his mouth shut, him and Eli seemed to hit it off." Julia hissed.

"I promise babe." He whispered against her lips. "I love you Julia."

"I love you Drew." she whispered before kissing him one more time.

Out side of the room, Eli and Clare sat down at the counter. Eli had a sick feeling in his stomach and so did Clare. There little kiss didn't mean nothing, not to them. But when Eli's lips met hers he didn't want to stop, never. Clare felt the same way, but once they knew their kiss had gone on for two long they pulled away. Looking into each other's eyes. No one spoke around them and Clare stood up announcing she was going to get dressed.

Now, as she sat next to him picking at her pizza, the air was thick with tension.

Eli felt like he needed to tell her it meant nothing, because of Julia. But for the first time ever eh wondered something, if there wasn't a Julia could their be a Clare? As long as they've been friends he's never felt an attraction to Clare, yeah he thought she was gorgeous and he trusted her more then his own girl friend but that was it. Wasn't it? He was slightly confused.

"That kiss meant nothing Eli." Clare whispered feeling just as guilty and confused.

"I know. Just for the game." Eli lied to himself smirking at his best friend.

Clare smiled at him, "Just for the game." She repeated before they looked at each other for a matter of time that felt forever, when it was only ten seconds.

Dunnnn. Well that chapter was short, and probably sucked! But, it was just a filler, the next chapter will be up next Friday and its going to be getting juicier.

So, REVIEWS? I think sooooo.

I also know this is kind of short, the next one will be longer.
