Chapter 4. Love Hurts.
Clare's POV
I was in total shock.
I mean shit. Adam. Eli. Kissing.
Adam looked at me, his face pleading. I marched up to Eli and slapped him. I slapped him good. He had no right to try and make me jealous...especially with my boyfriend!
There was a slight red mark on eli's cheek as he recovered.
"Clare. I'm so sorry. But, I'm in love with Adam." he spoke so sure of his words.
I wanted to burst into tears but I couldn't let him have the satisfaction.
I didn't even want to know what Adam was thinking. Did he love Eli too? Adam was mine and I'll be damned if little emo boy takes Adam away from me. I wanted to scream after I realized what I just thought. Who was I? " Eli, I'm sorry but Adam is mine." I said. Usually I would just apologize that he couldn't be with him but that was the old Clare.
Its time for new Clare to step in.
Adam's POV
after what happened at school, me and Eli decided to pretend like nothing ever happened.
It was Monday, but I was going to stay at his place because drew had K.C over. The drive was painfully slow, and neither of us said a word
we pulled up to his house and went inside. "well, whats on the agenda today my good
sir?" Eli asked me, with that hot smirk of his.
HOLD THE FUDGE UP.
What did I just think? Eli. Smirk. Hot. Same sentence. Coming from my mind?
No way I had feelings for Elijah goldsworthy. Then I realized Eli was still waiting for an answer. "um. Movie?" I said. He shrugged and put in "The hangover" wow so original I thought. We sat on the couch and I almost felt like snuggling up to him. But I didn't. First of all because I love Clare. Second of all because...oh I don't even know...
but I do know that I CANT love Eli. Maybe it was just..lust?
And Clare told me not to talk to him so why the hell am I even here?
" Adam..about today, I do love you. And I cant let it go. I know I said I would forget about it but I cant." he said. Why wouldn't he look at me?
I wanted to say that I love him too. I wanted to kiss him..hold him...touch him...
unholy thoughts, I tried to remind myself. But every time I even think like that I see Clare.
I see Clare crying. And that hurts way too much.
But Clare didn't have to know...about tonight. Just tonight.
I leaned In to Eli and kissed him. He smirked against my lips as I deepened the kiss.
Before I knew it, it was a full blown make-out session. Clare,I'm so sorry.
Eli's POV
I didn't expect Adam to kiss me. But I cant say I didn't like it.
We were making out, and none of us said a word. I knew he was going to stay with Clare but as long as I had tonight I don't care. It was Adam, after all who kissed ME.
I was simply the victim...not for long though...
I took Adam's hand and led him up to my room.
"are you sure about this?" I asked him.
"yes. I want you to have me before anyone else does." Adam said with a faint smile.
With that we went inside and I locked the door. Just..tonight.
Clares POV
I stomped up the stairs, went into the bathroom, and grabbed an unfamiliar object. Eyeliner. Yes, I've worn it before but not often. And this time I'm pretty sure I caked it on. I grabbed the biggest hoops I could find. What is happening to me? I went into Darcy's old room to find something to wear. I was going to the ravine. I found the shortest miniskirt I've probably ever seen, and wasn't surprised it was Darcy's. I slipped on her old red tube top, and I was out the door. As I got to the ravine, I smelled smoke. Lots of it.
Then I saw someone. Drew?
I didn't expect to see him here. He met my eyes, and had a VERY shocked look on his face. He came up to me. " Clare what the hell are you doing here? And why are you
dressed like this?" he said, covering me up with his jacket.
" Oh relax. I just want some fun." he was definitely starting to piss me off.
That moment I realized if drew cant accept me like this, who would? I HAD to make drew like the new me. I don't know why but I had to.
So I pulled him closer to me and kissed him.
He was shocked but didn't pull away.
My hand slowly trailed down his shirt to his belt buckle.
He didn't say anything. We both knew what was coming.
I took his hand and led him into the van.
Then with a slam, I shut the door.
