Eli's POV:
I screwed up big time with Clare. I won't ever get her back, she already moved on to Owen! I slammed my fist into my locker and slid down sobbing.
Clare's POV:
I wanted to find Eli. My heart throbbed in pain as I saw Eli so crestfallen. I walked over to where his locker was and saw him sitting on the floor with his hands covering his face and his head between his knees.
"Eli?" I called out.
He looked up and I got a glimpse of his tear-stained face before her turned away.
"Go away" He shooed.
"Eli..." I walked closer towards him. I sat down beside him and out my hand on his arm.
"Clare, leave. I don't deserve you after everything I did." He shook his head sobbing.
A little part inside of me broke as I saw how down Eli was. Even though he cheated on me, I still had a close connection to him, maybe not as a lover, but as a good friend. We had gone through so much, and I don't think I could just throw all of that away.
"Eli, I'm not going to leave you alone" I said.
"But-but what about-"
I cut Eli off. "No matter what happened between us as a couple, you were and still are one of my closes friends, misfits forever, remember?" I smiled.
Eli brightened up a bit. "Thank you so much Clare" He gave me a hug.
Feeling Eli's touch again made my heart speed up.
I broke from the hug and we met gazes. His eyes were full of regret and thankfulness. He leaned in and so did I. Our lips touched for a brief second before he broke away.
"I'm sorry, for- uhm yea..." He rubbed his neck nervously.
I giggled nervously, "Yea... It's okay" I blushed.
We looked anywhere except for each other and the atmosphere turned awkward.
"Well, the bell is going to ring soon... You should go and get your stuff" Eli stated.
"Oh yea" I stood up.
"So Clare"
"Yes?"
"We're okay right? I mean as friends" He corrected.
I smiled. "Of course"
Back At Home:
Eli's POV:
I dropped my backpack down and went to grab a snack. I sat down on the computer chair and went on Twitter.
I saw Clare's most recent tweet:
Forgive and forget - the key to life
I grinned, knowing that she had really forgiven me for what I have done. I was happy, but still sad knowing that me and her weren't together anymore.
I replied to her tweet with a smiley face and logged off.
Clare's POV:
I saw Eli's reply and smiled, I then moved from Twitter to FaceRange and saw a new message from Owen.
Hey ! - Owen
Hi (:
What's up? - Owen
Just surfing the net
Well wanna meet at The Dot at 4:30? - Owen
I wasn't sure if I wanted to lead Owen, but I didn't want to seem rude either.
Sure, see you in a bit!
See ya (; - Owen
I sighed and closed my laptop.
At The Dot:
Owen's POV:
I sat at a booth near the window and ordered two milkshakes and one order of cheese fries.
I looked out and saw Clare crossing the street. She looked so sexy. Her breasts were bouncing at every step she took and I just wanted to squeeze them right here, right now.
*Ding*
Clare stepped in and I put my hand up and waved at her direction.
She saw me and smiled. She sat down in front of me and took off her jacket, revealing a modest top.
"Hi" she looked at me.
"Hey, I ordered a strawberry for you, hope you don't mind" I gestured towards the drink.
"Yeah it's fine, I like strawberry" she took a sip of her drink as I did too.
"You look really pretty Clare" I eyed her up and down.
She blushed and looked down.
I reached over the table, put my finger under her chin and lifted her head so that she was looking into my eyes.
"Don't be so shy, you are an amazingly smart and beautiful girl, have confidence in that" I told her.
She smiled shyly at me and I smirked. She was so pure and innocent, and I was planning to change that.
We small talked for a while as we finished our food and then I asked her if she would like to take a walk at the park.
"Sure" She got up and put her jacket on.
I held the door for her and I put my arm around her waist as we walked to Centennial Park.
Clare's POV:
I felt really uncomfortable when Owen put his arm around me, but I let it stay there.
When we arrived, we sat down at a bench, Owen sitting rather close to me. I could feel him staring at me and I turned around slowly. He then cupped my face aggressively and kissed me.
I tried to push him away with all my might, but he wouldn't budge.
He then sat on my thighs and I gasped. Owen took that opportunity and thrust his tongue in. His left hand was behind my head, keeping my head in place, as his right hand was traveling up my shirt until his hand reached the top of my bra.
He squeezed and twisted, then he went inside my bra and pinched my nipple.
I screamed, but he silenced me once again with his mouth.
Eli's POV:
I was meeting Adam at the comic shop when I heard a girl scream. It sounded so much like Clare, I could've sworn that it was her.
Never mind if it was Clare or not, I decided to see if the girl was really in trouble.
I quickly walked to the park and looked around until I spotted a man hovered over a girl.
I took a few steps closer and saw that it was Owen and Clare.
I ran over and pulled Owen off as he landed on the ground.
I looked over at Clare and her shirt was disheveled, revealing her breasts that were out of her bra.
Anger rushed through me as I realized what Owen had been doing.
I kneeled over Owen and punched him over and over until I heard Clare cry.
I got off of him, picked her up and carried her away from Owen.
Okay, here's the new chapter! This took me longer to write than I expected, since I switched the plot around midway :P Hope you guys all like the way I developed the storyline! Review please (:
