"No, that can't...what do I..." Tommy paced back and forth, putting his hands on his head in frustration.
Rachel cut in stepping forward to try and calm him down. "Tommy you need to chill out! We can't do anything about it like this!" She gestured to him.
He stopped. "I know I'm just so ticked off. Err!" He hit the side of his truck clearly frustrated with himself. He rested his hands on top of it. Regaining his sanity he ran his hand through his hair. "This is all my fault."
Sky was surprised to hear this and raised a brow in confusion. "Wait, what do you mean'All your fault'. Clem kissed you right?" She crossed her arms waiting for an answer.
Tommy looked at her like she was crazy. "What, no. I kissed her. Back at the lake we were just talking and the moment just fit. I had no idea this was going to happen! Besides if she knew she would get in trouble why would she be the one to kiss me?"
Abigail put a hand up. "Hold on, you mean to say that Clem never told you that she wasn't aloud to kiss you?"
Tommy shook his head. "No. She never told me anything about that." Wendy crossed her arms. "That's not like her to just not say anything."
He shook his head again. "No, she wouldn't. She wouldn't tell me something like that. How could she? Probably thought it would make me feel terrible if she said she wasn't aloud to kiss me. I always just thought she wasn't comfortable with it and she would accept it when she was ready. Shoot, this really is all my fault." He started pacing again.
Sarah had to tell him the truth,, He may have kissed her, but she was the one who blew the secret. "Actually, if it's anyone's fault its mine." Sarah looked down in shame.
He stopped. "What do you mean?" He stared intently at her, waiting for an answer.
"I'm the one who told Luke you guys kissed. I got mad at her for always leaving me to go hang out with you and accidentally yelled out that she kissed you."
Rachel tried to reassure her. "Sarah it's not entirely your fault." She put an arm round Sarah's shoulders.
"But I'm also the one who made her tell me. She usually tells me what she does when she gets home." Sarah was on the verge of tears. "I knew she didn't want to tell me something and I should of respected her privacy, but I made her tell me anyway." A few tears rolled down her face. She felt terrible for what she had done to Clementine and Tommy. "It's all my fault. I'm so s-sorry"
Tommy had leaned up against his truck and folded his arms, angry with himself for what he had done. He sighed. In truth he was a little ticked at Sarah for blowing the secret, but he wasn't going to hold it against her. "Sarah I'm not mad at you. I'm just upset. I mean what am I supposed to do now?" He had opened his truck door and sat down on the floor of it, his feet on the step used to get in the truck easier. He rested his elbows on his knees with his hands draped down in front of him.
Sarah couldn't believe what she was hearing. She was completely wrong about Clem and Tommy. "I always thought Clem just had a silly crush, but... you really do love her... don't you?"
He smiled a little. "Clementine means everything to me. I've had a few girlfriends in my life time, but I've never felt this way about anyone besides Clementine."
"Aww." The girls all awed at how sweet that was.
"The way she smiles at me when I talk, how she puts her hands behind my neck when I hug her. I love looking into her golden eyes and the way she keeps her hair short with the hat that she wears. The way she's not afraid of anything." He chuckled. "Even when she playfully tries to get me back for something I say."
"That's so sweet." Sky said.
"Gosh I miss her." Even though he had just spent almost the entire day with her. "What am I gonna do?"
Sarah spoke up. "I promise I'll help you to fix this, even though Clem probably hates me. I'll see if I can get her phone to her, that way you can still talk to her. As long as Luke doesn't take it."
"Will all help. Clem's our friend too." Put in Rachel.
"Really?" Tommy asked.
Wendy nodded. She put her hand out. "For Clementine!"
One by one they all put there hands in agreeing to help try and get Clementine and Tommy back together. Even if it meant taking extreme measures.
Rebecca had left Clementine's room to give her some time to herself. Plus she wanted to give Luke a piece of her mind. She might not be able to change his mind, but she wasn't just gonna let this go.
Luke walked into the living room from the front door after sitting out on the porch. He spotted Rebecca. "Hey Becc! How is she?"
Rebecca glared at him, what he did ticked her off. "How could you do this to her? You have some nerve."
Luke wasn't expecting this from Rebecca. "Hey, it's not my fault she broke the rules."
She threw her hands in the air. "What is the matter with you? There is literally no reason for you to be keeping her from him! Have you seen what you've done to her? Clementines heartbroken!"
Luke folded his arms, narrowing his eyes. "Clem's' my responsibility. She's gonna listen to me!"
Rebecca hit him in the shoulder as she walked past. "When are you going to realize that you can't stop love."
Luke scoffed. "She'll get over it!" He yelled back. "It's just a stupid crush." He said to himself as he walked away. "She'll get over it,she'll get over it."
But she didn't. A week had past and Clem barely ever left her room, let alone her bed. She only left to either get something to eat or drink, or to use the bathroom. Sarah had given Clem her phone back after she had returned from Abigail's house. The girls and surprisingly Tommy had stayed up most of the night trying to come up with a way to fix there situation with no luck.
Clem barley talked to Sarah anymore. When Sarah had given her back her phone Clem took it out of her hand and whispered a thank you. Then she turned her back to Sarah and faced her wall while laying on her bed. Sarah had tried to apologize, but Clem wouldn't respond.
It was even worse for Luke. He had tried to come into her room to talk with her, but she ignored him. If she ran into him in the hallway she wouldn't say anything and would run right back into her room. The only person she would talk to was Rebecca every once in a while. She did text Tommy at first, it was the only way to keep in touch with him. She didn't dare call him for fear Luke would find out. Eventually he did find out and took it from her. She didn't talk to her friends either, she was just too heartbroken and didn't have the will to do anything.
It was now Saturday again, and after a week of Clementine not coming out of her room, it was starting to push Luke over the edge.
"Alright that's it." Luke stood from his seat aggravated. The kid was starting to get on his nerves. "It's been a week and she still won't talk to anyone!"
Rebecca didn't even bother to look up from her book. "That's what you get for breaking a little girls heart."
"I didn't! It's just a stupid crush." He scowled.
"Then why is she still locking herself in her room?" She threw back at him.
"You know what Becc..." He couldn't come up with a comeback. "Ugh I'm going out." He walked out the front door slamming it shut.
Rebecca laughed at his reaction.
Just then Sarah walked through the kitchen door way.
"Hey Sarah."
"Hey."
"What's going on."
She sighed. "Clem still won't talk to me."
"Don't worry She'll come around eventually. Clem's just heartbroken right now"
Sarah put her head in her hands. "Just face it. I blew her biggest secret and broke her and Tommy up. She's never gonna speak to me again. Me and the girls haven't come up with a solution and neither has Tommy."
"Perfect." Said Rebecca.
Sarah was confused. "Why is that perfect?"
Rebecca smiled. "You have everyone's phone number right?"
"Yeah. Why's that important."
"Even Tommy's?"
"Yeah. He gave us all his phone number encase something new happened or we found a solution." She pulled out her phone and set it on the table.
"Good. Now I want you to call everyone. I've got a plan."
Sarah's face light up into a smile. "Really! You think we've got a shot."
"When Luke sees this he'll see he's wrong and Clem and Tommy should be back together in no time." Then her face changed from a smile to wonder as she thought about the plan. "The only problem is where do we meet up? It can't be here since Clem and Luke live here, and it can't be Rachel's house since she lives across the street. Plus Luke is out and he might see us."
Sarah smiled this time. "I think I know of a place. What if we go down to the lake, no one besides us ever goes down there, and I doubt anyone will find us there."
"Perfect." Said Rebecca. She stood walked to the counter and picked something up. "And lucky for us Luke left the keys to the truck."
Sarah dialed Rachel's number on her phone and waited till she heard someone pick up. "Rachel, it's me Sarah. Get the girls together cause we've got a plan."
"Really, what is it?" She said from the other end of the phone.
"I'm not sure, but Rebecca is going to help us and she says that she has a plan. Now I need you to call the girls. Tell them you, me, Rebecca, and Wendy are driving together. Will come and pick you up. I'm going to call Tommy and he's going to pick up Sky and Abigail. Where meeting at the Lake." The raven haired girl explained.
"Alright got it!." Rachel gave a thumbs up even though Sarah couldn't see her.
"One more thing, don't tell anyone else. Luke is also out, so try not to get caught by him. We don't want him finding out."
"Gotch ya. See you soon." Rachel hung up.
Sarah then proceeded to call Tommy. She talked in a low voice so Clementine didn't over hear, even though she was in her bedroom. "Hello." A voice answered on the other end of the line. "Tommy, it's Sarah. Listen, I think we may have figured out a way to get you and Clem back together."
"O my gosh really! What are we doing." He was excited to finally have a chance in getting back together with his girl.
"I can't talk here, but listen. Rachel is calling the other girls. Her and Wendy are coming with me and Rebecca. I need you to pick up Sky and Abigail, then meet us at the Lake. And one more thing don't let Luke find you. He's out somewhere and I doubt it be a good idea form him to see you right now."
"Sure thing. Bye." He hung up the phone.
Sarah hung up her own phone and put it in her back pocket. "Ready to go?" She asked Rebecca.
"Just let me tell Clem where leaving." She walked up the stairs and opened Clementine and Sarah's bedroom door. "Hey Clem me and Sarah are leaving to...to go to... the store. Luke's gone as well. I don't know when he'll be back."
Clem didn't move from her spot on the bed, but did respond. "Alright, bye." She said in a whispered voice.
Rebecca turned and closed the door, walking back down the stairs to meet up with Sarah.
Chapter four is finally done. Chapter five (and possibly six, but I'm not making any promises) should be out soon, since I have some time off of school next week. Hope you enjoyed the story so far. Don't forget to write any reviews and let me know if I need to work on anything. I know it's not perfect.
