Natalie POV:

I followed Clare into the house.

'"Clare, I really am sorry but, if you were really into him you would all ready be dating him!"

"Well maybe if you weren't such a lying snake maybe I would be. God you're just like your messed up brother!" She spat in my face.

I felt myself start to cry. I went to my room and locked my door behind me.

Soon after, I heard a knock on my door.

"Go away!"

Eli POV:

I heard Clare and Natalie yelling in the other room. I walked out of my room into the living room to see Clare on the floor crying.

"Clare, what's wrong, I heard yelling, what happened?"

"We were fighting over…something and I said something horrible, and made her cry."

"What is with you two lately? What does it take to keep you from ripping each other's throats out?"

I walked away from Clare and headed towards Natalie's room. I knocked on the door.

"Go away!" I heard her yell.

"Just open the door Nat!"

She opened the door, the area around her eyes red and her blue eyes were clouded with sadness. We entered the room. She lay back in her bed. I sat beside her, sitting against the headboard.

"So you gonna tell me what happened?" I asked her.

"Well after we kissed on the balcony, Clare got mad at me, she claimed that I was a lying snake and I was just like my messed up brother. Usually I don't cry over that kind of stuff, but coming from my best friend, it cut me real deep." She said leaning into my chest.

"Why would she be mad at you?"

"Because, she likes you, and she thinks we're together."

"Are we?" I asked hoping her answer would be yes.

"I don't know, I mean Clare…"

"Clare made her decision when she rejected me, I'm asking about us."

"I want us to be together Eli, I really do…."

"But….?"

"But …nothing. I've only known you for like a week, and I think I'm all ready falling in love with you."

I smiled at her words.

"Well, I think I love you too! God, I'm not used to being this damn mushy."

"I feel like taking a nap."

"Okay…" I said realizing that she was all ready drifting off to sleep.

I didn't want to wake her so I just held her, soon I fell asleep too.

Clare POV:

Eli had been in Natalie's room for about two hours. I went to her door and cracked it open just so I can see inside.

Natalie and Eli were wrapped in each other's arms. Their hair was messed up and a few articles of clothing were on the floor. I couldn't believe it. They slept together.
