(Elis POV)

The next day at "work" I was walking down the little offices with a big smile on my face. From strangers eye I probably looked like an idiot. Though I don't care. Clare Edwards is mine. I've never been more happier in my life. I haven't been this happy when I got an award for English, or having my first mission. This was way more better. Though I can't help but feel a tug inside me every time I think of Clare. The more I get closer to her, the more I have to get closer to her father. Though I will do what I have to do.

Speak of the devil, here comes Clare for her visit to see her father. She's wearing a knee length jean skirt with a yellow flowy top. She spotted me and gave me a wary look. I was confused. I went up to her and she stepped back arms hugging herself, looking down at the ground. What was wrong?

"Hi Clare". I asked cautiously. She looked up, eyes distant.

"Eli". She stated flatly.

"Did I do something"? She shook her head.

"No, you did nothing, look I have to go" She then practically ran to her dads office. What was going on?

I stood still in my spot. Waiting for Clare. She's been in there for a while but I didn't care, when she comes out she's going to explain to me what is wrong. Finally she went out of his office and saw me. She looked upset. She walked fast past me to go to the elevators. I wasn't having that. I went after her, and grabbed her arm.

"What is wrong"? I asked getting upset.

"Nothing, listen let me go I have to get home".

"Not until you explain to me what's going on". She sighed in defeat and I let go of her arm.

"Look, about last night… it was a mistake". She said quietly.

"What do you mean"?

"What I mean is that I'm sorry I let things go to far". She said, voice neutral. I stood there frozen not knowing what to say.

"I'm sorry Eli", she said backing up and turning towards the elevator. When she got in, the doors were closing but not before looking at me one last time. Then I was alone. I didn't know what to do.

After my shift was over I went home and didn't want to do anything. I couldn't believe it, I thought Clare liked me. Even though Clare isn't mine I still can't help but wanting to see her. Listen to her beautiful voice, see her gorgeous blue eyes. Even though Clare is mostly the reason I don't want to kill her father, and even though she doesn't want me back I still can't help but feel my stomach churn at the thought of it. Killing her father because its my job. A few weeks ago I wouldn't have a second thought of doing a hit but now…I just don't know. I'll probably end up doing it though. I mean, it is my job.

I was lying in bed when I heard knocking on the door. Knowing well enough who it was. "Come in Adam", I said lazily I heard the door open and close and shuffling through the hall towards my room. Then I heard my bedroom door open and saw Adam.

"Dude, you shouldn't leave your door unlocked, wouldn't want a "bad" guy to break in", He laughed using air quotes. I certainly wasn't in the mood for his jokes. He stopped laughing once he saw my face.

"Dude what happened"?

"Clare happened". I stated flatly.

"I thought you were crazy about this girl". He expressed over dramatically.

"I was, then she turned me down". Though I know damn well I still was crazy about her. I sat up and put my elbows on my knees. Adam came and sat down beside me, patting my shoulder.

"You want to talk about it"? I sighed.

I then told Adam everything, from the ball to this afternoon, at "work".

"That sucks". He said.

"No kidding".

"Listen man I know something that will take this off your mind, why don't we go to the bar"? He asked smiling.

"No thanks". Adams eyes bugged out like a fly.

"You never turn down the bar".

"I don't feel like getting drunk and fucking some random girl", I stated annoyingly. He shook his head.

"Man this girl has changed you and you don't even know it". I shrugged. Adam stood up hastily.

"Look you're going to the bar tonight, no excuses". He then stomped out of the room and closed my bedroom door behind him. He wasn't leaving until I was coming. I sighed and got up getting ready.

It was 11:00 and I was sitting at the bar miserably sipping a beer. I sighed. This was the first time I ever hated being at a bar. I tried to distract myself but everything brought me back to Clare. I still couldn't understand why she said last night was a mistake. I felt a pang in my heart remembering her words. I think there is more to it but I don't know if I should confront her or let her go. I sighed again, frustrated this time. I looked over to my left and spotted Adam flirting with a girl that had long curly brown hair. They were smiling and laughing. I felt a little of jealous of Adam right now. He was with someone he seemed to like. Why couldn't I have that with Clare. Stop it. I have to get Clare out of mind but I can't picture any girl better than her.

I looked around the bar and instantly froze. Through a crowd of people at the entrance, was Mark Fitzgerald. Fuck. I need to get Adam and I out of here. He didn't see me, he was too busy trying to go through the crowd. I dropped my drink on the counter and rushed to Adam. I tugged on his arm.

"Uhhh, sorry to interrupt but we have to go. Now.", I said seriously.

"What are you talking about"? He sounded confused. I nodded my head toward the entrance and is gaze followed where I was motioning. His face turned pale and was covered with fear.

"Umm, sorry Fiona but I have to go", Adam said shaking.

"Can't I get a goodbye kiss first" she said puckering her lips. He was about to when I pulled him away. We walked quickly to the back of the door and exited. We ran to the parking lot and practically jumped inside his car.

"Do…you think…he saw us", Adam said panting while racing down the street.

"I don't think so, but it was close".

"What are we going to do, the man clearly stated that if we saw him again we are DEAD"! Adam was going in hysterics.

"Adam calm down, we'll get him and take him out".

"What if we can't do it"?

"Don't underestimate Elijah Goldsworthy". I smirked dangerously.
