Thanks so much for the reviews. I'm so glad you guys like the story and hate Ryan. Cause he's the villain. I'm going to add a chapter every 2 days. Day 1-First half. Day 2-Second half and upload. So that's my format. Anyways on to the story. Hint- An unexpected word in this chapter. See ya at the bottom!

Eli's POV

I had been walking all around my house. I'm free! I finally got this stupid brace off. Now I can walk comfortably. Then my phone vibrated. It was a text from Adam. R U coming man? Video games, soda, and the house all to ourselves. Is that chick still coming? I quickly texted back. I'm leaving right now. And yes IMOGEN is still coming. I quickly sent it and grabbed my jacket and ran downstairs.

"I'm going to Adam's mom! I'll be back at like 11:00!" I shouted

"Have fun!" She shouted

I walked down the sidewalk and passed 6 houses and made a left turn. I walked up the porch. "Adam!" I shouted. I heard footsteps and the door open."What's up man!" Adam shouted over the loud music. We did our handshake. I walked around the corner and was completely shocked. Instead of it just being me, Adam and Imogen, it would be me, Adam,Imogen, Alli, Clare, Jake, Drew, Katie, and Fiona. They all looked at me. Drew, Katie and Fiona waved at me while Clare, Alli and Jake were just looking.

Then a song came on. "Ooh! I love this song." Fiona said. She grabbed Katie and started dancing. It was slightly funny that Katie looked incredibly uncomfortable. I looked around and grabbed a drink. Punch. How cliche. I tasted it. Spiked. Even more cliche. Then Adam came in. He had a sympathetic look on his face. "I went to the store to get some chips and soda. When I came back, Drew had invited them. And I can't kick them out. It's Drew's house too." Adam explained already answering the question I was about to ask. The doorbell rang. Adam ran to get it.

I walked into the living room where everyone was. I sat on the ottoman watching everyone have fun. Drew was dancing with Fiona and Katie. Clare and Alli were talking while Jake was sitting beside them watching Katie. I heard heels in the other room. Then Imogen walked in. She looked great. She had on black heels, dark wash skinny jeans and a gray shirt with lace straps and said J'adore. She looked at me and smiled. Then she realized that everyone was looking at her. She cleared her throat and pulled a strand of her now curly hair behind her head. "Hi everyone." she said

There was a weak unison of Hey's. Then she walked over to me. My heart was beating so fast. Hopefully I don't have heart attack. That would suck. She sat down on the chair beside me. "Hi." she whispered

"H-Hey." God I was stuttering. I took a peak at everyone. I was relived to see that almost everyone wasn't looking at up. Clare on the other hand was continuously staring at us.

"So um about that text you sent me?" I said

She moved closer to me. "Mhm?" she said

"You said you uh would get back to me." I said getting closer

"Yeah?" she said getting closer

"And your answer?" I said moving closer. Now our faces were incredibly close.

"Okay, Let's play a game!" Alli shouted

"You have to ask me." she smiled flashing her perfect smile.

"Eli! Come play!" Alli said

Why is she talking to me? I just brushed it off.

"Uh no thanks." I looked back at Imogen who was biting her lip

"Imogen, do you want to join the dark side with me?" I asked

"Imogen, why don't you-" Imogen leaned in and kissed me. I responded immediately tangling my fingers in her hair.

We pulled away. She looked over at Alli. "Sorry Alli. Did you want something?" Alli shook her head

Then Imogen, Adam, Drew and I were playing video games. Imogen was in the lead and I was in second. There was only 5 seconds left. .

"Oh man!" Drew said. Imogen laughed. "Sorry you couldn't bring you A game Andrew." I laughed "I'll get ya next time, Genny." Adam said. She leaned over me and ruffled Adam's hair. "I'll hold it to ya."

She moved back into place and looked at me. "Ready to get your ass kicked?" she said grabbing her controller

"Big words for someone who lost all of her points." I replied

"But gained them all back and more"

"YES! YES!" Imogen was jumping up and down on the couch, laughing

"Okay, okay. Congrats." I said rolling my eyes laughing lightly. I got up to get a drink. Imogen got off the couch and walked after me. She grabbed my arm and pulled out her phone. She got closer and smiled as the phone clicked.

"I just wanna capture the day I proved Eli Golds-" I snatched the phone out of her hand and ran around the house. Then her phone started to ring. I gave it back to her. "It's Ryan."

Her eyes widened and she looked at her watch. "Shit!" she whispered and ran outside.

Is everything okay? Why did she look so...scared? Of her own brother? I was about to walk back into the living room when I heard her. Crying. I walked over to the door and listened.

"Stop it Ryan! Yes, I am. I don't care what you think. Ryan you have no say in what I do! Go ahead tell mom! And I'll tell mom what you've been doing!" she said

"No! No! No! DO NOT COME OVER HERE!" Imogen shouted. I heard her let out a frustrated groan. She was coming. I quickly walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. Which coincidentally was next to Clare. She was about to say something, but Imogen walked in. Her eyes were red and her eyeliner was smudged. I hopped off the couch and walked over to her. I whispered in her ear "What's wrong?" I asked. She just shook her head. I grabbed her hand and we walked outside and sat on the porch.

"Imogen?" I asked

She wiped away some tears and cleared her throat. "Ryan. He's being an asshole. God I hate that dick."she said looking down. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder. She rested her head on my shoulder. She sighed.

"Why's your brother being an asshole?" I asked. "He has some stuff in me. You know, blackmailing."

"Well don't all siblings do that?" I joked laughed. She shook her head.

"1. Ryan is not my brother. Just on paper. Which I will rip up eventually 2. What he has on me is a lot more serious then sneaking out past curfew." she laughed bitterly

"Do you wanna talk about it?" I asked. A car turned around the corner roughly and the brakes screeched a stop in front of us.

Ryan got out and slammed the door. Imogen shot up. "I told you not to come over here!" she shouted

He ignored her and set his eyes on me. He glared at me. He then grabbed her arm and pulled her. "We're going home!" She fought back. "Let go of me!"

I got up and walked over to them. I pushed Ryan and surprisingly he stumbled over, letting go of Imogen. She ran over to me. She tried to pull me back into the house but Ryan pulled me back. He turned me around to face him and raised his fist.

"Hey!" We turned to see Drew coming out with a bat. "Get the hell outta here!" he said. Everyone else was piling out of the house to watch. Clare had a worried look on her face.

Ryan just looked at Drew. He then pulled his fist back. I closed my eyes. I felt Ryan let go of my shirt, and I opened my eyes. Imogen was holding onto Ryan's bicep and was looking at him. He looked back at me before storming back to the car. Imogen walked up to me. "Are you okay?" she asked putting her hand on my face.

I nodded. She looked back at Ryan who made a hurry up motion. "Your not leaving with him, are you?" I asked. "I have to. I'm so sorry about him." I could see that her eyes were filling up with tears again. "I'll call you." she walked away and got into the car. I turned back to everyone. Adam walked up to me. "Everything okay, man?" he asked. I nodded. "I think I'm gonna go man." He nodded and said goodbye. I walked away to my house.

Ring!

Ring!

Ring!

I groaned and felt for my phone. I finally found it and answered."Hello?" I asked

"Eli." I heard the voice break

"Imogen? What's wrong?" I asked sitting up

"I'm sorry Eli. I can't. I can't do this." she said

"Do what?" I asked panicing

"Us. This is going to end bad! I-I'm ending it before one of us gets hurt."

"Imogen-"

"Eli! There is shit going on in my life that I don't want you to be apart of!" she whispered harshly

"I want to be with you. I don't care what's going on! I'll help!" I said desperately

"It's not that simple! Your better off." she said

"Please-" I begged

"I'm sorry." I heard crying before she finally hung up.

I hung up and laid back down and went to sleep. Hoping that this was a bad dream.

Intense huh? Ugh! It's 4:00 in the morning and I'm SO tired! Review for the next chapter 3
