ELI'S POV
It was now two weeks from that night. Clare never called, and I honestly don't think she will call soon. I don't know if she will call ever. I don't know what I did to upset her. I only wish I knew and I could fix it, fix us. Clare was avoiding me and her best friend was half across town. She had to confide in someone. That brought me to Adam, she had to tell him.
Hey Adam whts up?
Nuthin just chillin. U?
Adam I need your help. Meet me at the Dot in 10
K, C U in 20.
ADAM"S POV
At Adam's house
Ring. Ring. Ring. It was Clare, he wondered what she wanted.
Hey Clare. What's up?
Do you want to hang out?
Sorry, but I'm on my way to meet Eli at the Dot.
Oh.
You can join, if you want. I'm sure Eli won't mind.
Umm. No. I'm fine, I can do Mrs. Dawes English homework instead.
He had found that awkward. Clare could never keep her eyes off of Eli.
Clare I know this is none of my business, but what is up with you and Eli.
She broke down into tears. She had told Adam about that night.
Adam listened. He noticed something. Clare wait was the date.
The date of what, Adam.
The date … The date of your anniversary.
Oh. The twenty-fourth.
Then he knew why that night Eli was distant. The twenty-fifth, just the day after their anniversary was the anniversary of Julia's death.
Umm.. Clare…. Can I call you later. I have to go.
Clare said that was fine and she hung up.
ELI' POV
Eli sat in the usual spot that him and Adam usually sat. Adam came and they bumped fist. He had noticed Eli had looked gloomy.
Eli spoke. Adam, it's over. It's all over.
What's over? He didn't know what he was talking about.
Eli told him about that night. Though he already knew the story he wanted to hear it from Eli.
Once Eli was done, Adam asked…. So you don't know why she isn't talking to you..
No, but I was hoping you would know, since you two are friends.
Eli do you happen to remember the date of that day.
Umm yeah…. But Adam what does that happen to do with anything.
Just tell me the date and see if you remember anything
The 24th How could I forget one day before the anniversary of Julia's death.
Come on Eli. Are you sure there is nothing about the 24th you don't remember. It can be in 24th just please say you remember something.
And that's when it came to his head. He had forgotten his and Clare's five month anniversary.
