Clare woke up lying in Eli's arms. It never got old. She sat up as Eli still rested. She wanted so desperately to know what was on his mind. It was like the girlfriend thing all over again. She just felt the need to understand exactly everything that was happening. As she sat feeling the breeze rush over her she heard a phone ring. It was Eli's she looked over at him. He was still sound asleep. She crept over to his bag and took out the phone. It was a text from an unknown number.
:: i hope ur awake. u need 2 call me back asap! Things r changin.::
Clare's interest was intensified. Who was this person? She took out her phone and input the number to see if she had it in her contacts. She didn't. She texted the number from her phone.
::Who is this?::
::u txtd me! Who is this?::
::a friend of Eli's::
Clare waited, but got no response. Eli's phone rang shortly. It was that number calling.
Clare:: Eli! Eli, wake up, your phone is ringing.
Eli sat up and Clare handed him the phone. He rubbed his eyes and realized who was calling. His eyes got real wide as he answered
Eli:: Hey, hold on one second ok?
Eli stood up and began to walk away in order to answer his phone in privacy. He paced while talking. Once or twice Clare noticed him looking in her direction. He looked upset. He ended his phone call and put the phone in his pocket. He stood for a while with his hands on his hips kicking dust into the air. He sighed out of frustration and began storming towards Clare.
Eli:: You text anyone important lately?
Clare looked stunned as she stood against Eli's car.
Clare:: W-what do you mean?
Eli:: You texted her! You got her number and texted her!
Clare:: Eli! Who is her? Who are you talking about?
Eli:: I told you I couldn't talk to you about it all now. Why couldn't you just wait? Why did you have to stick your nose in this?
Clare:: Eli I'm sorry…I just—
Eli:: get in the car!
Clare:: Eli…
Eli:: CLARE! GET IN THIS GODDAMN CAR!
