A/N: You guys rock! I'm going back to writing on the go so no italics in this chapter. I also can't use bold print either which is kinda my thing. This chapter is going to start as the kids get to the cabin. It's going to be confusing for you and I, cause sometimes I get really confused myself. There will be some nowhere to run stuff in here. But it's my version called somewhere to run. It's got a different concept...sort of.
Clare felt the warm yet cold air brush against her skin as she rode her bike to the cabin. Weird feelings erupted through her body making her want to go faster. Originally, Clare asked Bullfrog and Cece to drive her, but they told her he had wanted to ride his bike for a long time. She had to "Go with the Flow" as Eli stated and take the stupid bike. Wonder what Eli was doing in that big truck of Jake's...
Eli was trying not to overreact but it was hard when he was sitting next to Jake Martin, his mortal enemy. What did Clare see in him? "Clare, I feel sorry for the way I broke up with you at prom. But seriously, it isn't about us, it's about our parent's happiness." Jake soothingly stroked Eli's hand. Eli snatched it away. "Stop touching me, you glorified douche!" Eli screamed. Jake stopped the car immediately, Eli at first thought Jake was angry but then saw his surroundings, he was at the cabin. "Clare, I know you hate me but please don't take it out on me when we're so close to getting over it." Jake tried to calm him down, but it wasn't working. "I'm fine, Jake. Just leave me alone." Eli opened the door and left the car, only to fall on the dusty ground. He could hear Jake snickering and sneered into the air. "Clare! Are you ok?" He heard a high pitched voice yell at him. He turned his head to the side, please don't be- "Alli! What a...pleasant surprise!" He covered. Alli helped him up and he dusted off his dress. "So you're still talking to me? I guess this will be a good getaway." Alli held her head up high and smiled. Eli saw Drew, Katie, Marisol and Bianca get out of a small black convertible, Bianca being the most pissed. He noticed Marisol jump on Jake and hug him tightly. Katie held onto Drew as Bianca passed them by, overall, everyone was the same. "Eli! Eli!" He heard his voice, not Clare's, yell. Everyone turned to Clare who was riding up on his bike. She looked at Eli, and then remembered whose name she was calling. "Joking, guys! I know I'm here." She quickly peddled away on her bike next to the cabin. Eli felt like yelling at her for almost blowing the cover, but come on, who could get mad at Clare?
"Ew, why does it smell like… wet dog?" Marisol complained. Everyone groaned in unison when Marisol slapped her leg and said, "If I get West Nile…" Jake shot her a devious smile and went to his room to get himself ready. Drew, Katie and Marisol sat on the couch while Bianca, Alli and Clare leaned against the walls and chairs. "So, what do we do now?" Bianca bit her fingernail before she scratched Alli's arm in boredom. Drew stifled a laugh when Alli shouted "Damn" at her. Clare was staring at her sharpie colored nails when she saw Eli come toward her, obviously really worried. Do I look like that in real life? "Come on…Eli, I need to talk to you in here. Now." Eli dragged Clare's hand pulled her into one of the bedrooms. "Look, I know that you may not like this but…we need to find out whatever we need to find out and become normal, this is weird." Eli stated. To be honest, Clare thought Eli was going to be the laid back one, but she was more relaxed then he was. "Um, how do we do that?" She sat on the bed and smiled when she noticed the outfit Eli wore: A pink skirt, pink tank top, and black flats. Nothing Clare would wear. "I saw this really weird movie where this girl and her mom changed spots for like a week or something, in the end, when they understood each other and crap, they went back to normal." Clare snickered. "You watch Disney Channel?" Eli frowned, pushing Clare down on the bed and paced back in forth. This made Clare break into a loud fit of laughter. "….Ok….I am sorry, but what do I possibly have to understand about you? You like black stuff; you drove a hearse, and your girlfriend Julia died. No biggie." Eli stopped pacing. "Oh, well in that case, the only things to understand about you are you're the cute, obedient, Christian girl." Eli spat. Clare reached into her pocket and pulled out a cross necklace. "Not anymore." They heard a faint knock on the door, making Clare jump. The door opened and in came Marisol. "Hey guys, just a warning, you may not wanna go outside." She made a face and closed the door. Eli looked at Clare with a very pained expression. Clare got up and opened the door, to her surprise, she saw Drew singing California Gurls and Bianca standing next to him doing different moves while Katie did her best to mimic them. Clare rushed to the door not wasting any time. "Uh, what are you guys doing?" Eli asked, generally confused. "Oh hey Clare! We're just playing Just Dance 3-""DREW! Keep singing!" Bianca scolded. He looked down and started to sing the second verse to the song. Eli walked out of the room when he heard Jake and Alli scream Eli's name. When he finally got out of the cabin, he saw Jake and Alli, under a blanket, both topless. Eli averted his eyes away as quickly as they landed. "Clare, it's not what it looks like." Jake said, putting his shirt back on. Alli followed his suit, trying to be a little secretive. "Ok, while I get that image out of my mind, where did Clare go?" He asked. Jake looked at Alli with confusion. "Clare, you're standing right here." Eli looked down at himself, remembering. "….So I am, so I am." He just walked in the direction he heard loud sobs. She must've looked insane crying over Jake and Alli having sex when Clare's body should've been. He finally found her sitting next to a tree. Her arms were wrapped around the legs she now owned. He felt bad, he and Clare broke up, and Jake cheated on her, the icing on the cake- no wait, the cake is she is in her ex-boyfriend's body! "Clare, I know you're probably really sad and scared…but don't be. Jake's a total jackass if he thinks he can just get away with things like this." Eli spoke slowly while sitting next to the girl. "Please, don't try to make me feel better Eli, it won't work." She said, looking up into his eyes. "I feel like an idiot basically talking to myself." He admitted. She chuckled and let go of her legs. "Yeah? Well I feel like a freak because you don't know how to dress. I have rep to maintain!" She joked. He laughed out loud, not caring if Jake and Alli heard. "You're alright, when you consider. Look, I know in the movies, we would've kissed by now, but since that's not the case…" Clare spoke quietly, but just loud enough for Eli to feel like she was yelling it off the empire state building. He looked sad, but didn't mention it. "I finally understand what it's like to be Clare Edwards. It actually kinda sucks being in a house with your on and off boyfriend along with the fact that your mom just got married to his dad. I have issues, but not that bad." Eli said. It made Clare feel a shiver go down her spine, it was all Clare wanted to hear, someone understood her. "I still don't understand you, Goldsworthy. Guess that means we gotta do something about it." Clare replied, getting up and dusting herself off. "Absolutely. But first, can we address the fact that we need to show Jake Martin we aren't fazed?" Eli asked, putting his arm around Clare. "Yep, let's just hope this writer doesn't try to give us something totally pathetic to do like kiss or whatever. She has a tendency to do that." Clare and Eli walked off together.
A/N: OUCH (Says in best Canadian accent)! You hurt me, Clare. I was thinking, not that I am anymore, but I was thinking to end this story right here on this chapter. But there is SO MUCH more to discuss. We will get to that later, but for now, let's reminisce on some things…
Imogen did not show up in this chapter. That was an unfortunate accident that I really don't feel like fixing right now…
Jake and Alli having sex were a little different then Jake and Alli kissing. Gives Clare an even better reason to tell that dick to stick it somewhere else. Hahaha.
Somewhere to run was what I meant. In the end, Clare had someone to run to, Eli. It seems cheesy, but I don't like how Clare just automatically went back to Jake in nowhere to run, it was a little confusing and weird for my taste.
It's almost midnight, let me get some sleep and I PROMISE the next chapter will be better. Well, time to check the spelling. TOODLES!
