HERE WE GO AGAIN- Chapter 3

CLARE'S PROSPECTIVE

I looked around and started walking towards Adam's house. I dialed his number again making sure he was home and he didn't pick up. I quickly dialed Eli, ring…ring…ring. Nothing! Well, if this is some prank on Clare day it isn't funny. I was really nervous for Eli. I know we haven't been on good terms but, he should at least answer his cell phone. I looked stood outside of Adam's house and hesitated before going inside. I placed my hand on the doorknob and quickly stopped when I felt my phone vibrate. I saw "Eli." I quickly picked it up and started to talk, "Eli, yeah where are you?" I listened it sounded like a couple of people talking. His phone probably went off in his pocket. I heard silence then it sounded like a gun shot. "ELI!" I screamed. I looked around and I was being hovered and dragged into Adam's house. The last thing I could remember was dropping my phone outside and hearing that noise echo in my head…

ADAM'S PROSPECTIVE

"Whoa! That was a close one!" Eli yelped as he laughed uncontrollably as a bullet was fired three inches away from his head. I glared at Elena, "Are you crazy?" She looked at me and winked. "Why are we being so quiet?" Eli whispered looking at Elena. Elena said, "I just have to drive around for a while, and in the meantime Fitz will be knocking some sense into his little girlfriend." I lunged for Elena and she held up the gun to my face, "Not so strong now are you, tranny?" I breathed in hard and said, "Stronger than you will ever be…" Elena laughed and kept driving. Eli said, "Run the red light! Woot Woot!" I couldn't help but laugh at how stupid Eli was being. I whispered, "Eli, do you have your cell phone on you?" He screamed, "Cell phone! What!" I held my head in my hand and Elena was listening to her iPod. She couldn't hear us.

I quickly started searching Eli's pockets. "Oh bro, I don't go that way. Sorry!" He said. I said, "Eli, shut up!" He nodded covering his mouth and smirking. I checked his back pocket and found his cell phone. It was on and calling Clare. I texted Clare, "Where are you? Stuck in a van, do not go into my house it's a trap. Go find help. –Adam." The message sent and Elena spun around and I shoved the cell phone in my pocket. "Yes?" I asked. She said, "I think something is wrong with your friend?" I looked at Eli and he was uncontrollably laughing and he was turning red. He smirked and screamed, "I love Elena! She is so pretty, and fluffy." I buldged my eyes out and said, "You love Clare, Eli…you love Clare. Do you remember her? She is your girlfriend, the girl you asked to marry?" Eli shook his head a couple of times and said, "Elena." I looked at her and she was concentrated on the road. She pulled over and pointed at Eli. "Listen, kid. I don't love you, you don't love me, and you suck." Eli laughed, "No you suck!" Eli gestured his hands towards his pants and I laughed. Elena glared at me.

CLARE'S PERSPECTIVE

My memory was a little foggy. Where was I again? I was outside of Adam's house. But, how did I end up inside of Adam's house? Huh, tough question. I woke up on the couch. I shook my head and searched for my phone. I couldn't find it. I turned and saw Fitz with my phone. "Fitz…give me the phone." I said with a calming voice. He said, "Clare…do you know what I have done to have you? I want you Clare. I can't live without you. When I am not around you my heart races only when I see you. I need you Clare. I love you." I looked at Fitz and said, "Fitz, we have been through this too many times…." I drifted off and jumped when he threw a vase and it crashed on the floor. "Clare. I love you! I can't anymore. Eli, he takes you for granted. He, he doesn't even know what he has…until it's gone." I said, "Fitz, what are you talking about?" I looked through the back window and saw Drew. I smiled and said, "Fitz…you can't win. You can't just get rid of me. It doesn't work…" He said, "Just because Drew is out there doesn't mean he is going to save you." I jumped when Fitz lunged for me I bent down as he crashed through into the door.

I ran to the back of the house when Fitz got up I tried to open the door, but it was locked. I looked around and I saw the door open. It was that girl, and he had Eli. Eli was smiling. I stopped trying to escape and stared at Fitz. "What did you do to him?" I asked Fitz. Eli laughed, "Oh Fitz…so funny. He is so serious. My name is Fitz and I am macho man!" I looked at him, he was out of it. It was like someone gave him happy gas or something. Fitz smiled, "It's called Weed Clare." I said, "He wouldn't do that…He wouldn't do that to himself." I stood up and he said, "I didn't say he did it by himself." I looked at him and lunged trying to knock him over. He held me by the neck and I said, "Fitz…please don't kill Eli. Let him go. I don't deserve to live. I am a bad person…" Then, after Eli stopped laughing I think something clicked when I said that.

Eli said, "Clare…the Clare I know is not a bad person. The Clare I know is a great strong independent person that I love. She never lies to me…" I gulped and Fitz kissed my cheek and said, "Do you have any last words for Eli, Clare?" I said, "Just one sentence. Eli, I am pregnant." Eli looked at me with his green eyes, serious as ever. I said, "I didn't want to tell you…because I am scared Eli." In his eyes I saw betrayal. I tried not to cry when I saw his eyes meet mine. "Aw, well isn't that sweet. Bring him downstairs with the other one." Fitz smiled at Eli and Eli looked at me with discreet and speechlessness. He went downstairs with Adam and Elena. Elena held them at gun point leading them downstairs. The last look I saw on Eli's face was shocked and disappointed. I looked through the back door and Drew was gone. I looked at Fitz as he stroked my tear and Fitz said, "Clare…don't cry. He isn't worth it…" He wiped my tear away and I looked at Fitz.

He looked into my eyes and said, "If he makes you cry, he isn't worth it." I wheezed when he placed his hands on my hips. "We could raise this baby…without him." He told me stroking his hands over my stomach. I gulped and whispered, "Don't be frightened Clare…" I looked at him showing fear…

ELI'S PROSPECTIVE

Elena looked at me then back at Adam. I sat there in silence. "You can't be mad at Clare…" Adam told me. I said, "Mad? Adam, she lied to me. She went two, possibly three weeks without telling me she was pregnant." Adam sighed and laughed sarcastically, "You would do the same thing. You scare her Eli. With all that stuff that happened with you and the cameras and crap how could she trust you? Clare was probably worried that if she told you, you would leave her…" I shook my head in grief and said, "First of all, Adam the camera thing was that Waco's fault. And, second why would she think that?" Elena interrupted us and said, "I am not a Waco, I am just doing what Fitz's tells me." I rolled my eyes and Adam said, "Eli, come on. When guys hear the word pregnant, baby, and yours, in the same sentence they run for the hills." I looked around, "She knows that I wouldn't do that to her…" Adam said, "Yeh, well you thought she wouldn't leave you. But, she did because of the fighting. I mean, why can't you guys just kiss and make up already?" I looked at Adam and smiled.

I looked at Elena and she smirked. I gulped when I heard Clare screech. I looked at Adam and my eyes bulged. "Clare!" I screamed getting up. Elena pointed the gun towards me and said, "Sit." I slowly backed up and said, "Please, Elena. You seem like some sort of understanding person. Just, please let me go." Elena shook her head. "Sit." She repeated as I sat on the floor. My heart was racing when I heard Clare scream my name once again I closed my eyes and I said, "Please…Elena." I begged her. She got up and said, "I told you Eli, you would be begging me. I told you one day, you would be begging. And, you just laughed and told me you didn't beg. Look at you now…" I looked at Adam and he winked at me gesturing towards the door. I looked up at Elena and stood eyeing her. "Eli!" Clare screeched…

OH, WILL ELI SAVE CLARE IN TIME? OR, WILL ELENA FIRE HER GUN?

PREVIEW TO CHAPTER FOUR:

I screamed, "Eli!" There was so much smoke I couldn't see, or was it just me…

WHOAH! WELL, ELI IS IN TROUBLE? WILL HE MAKE IT THROUGH WITH EVERYONE ELSE?
