Hey guys! Sorry for not updating last week. I was sick. Anyway I hope you enjoy this chapter. Please read & review!

Eli's Pov

I sat on the kitchen floor at my house staring at the floor. What did I do? I said to myself. I yelled at Clare, I didn't trust her. On top of that, Adam gave me a lecture about jumping to conclusions. I reached for my phone to call her. After 2 wrings, she picked up. "Eli?" She said in a soft voice. All I could say to her was "I'm sorry". I heard her sigh on the other end. "It's fine" she said. Her voice sounded strange as though she was crying. "Are you alright?" I asked. "I thought I lost you" she said. I can't believe I made her cry. "You didn't, I'm here and always will be". "Alli will never believe me" she spoke quietly. "I'm sure she will, just give it time" I answered. "How about we go to the park?" I asked. "Sure" she said now in a happier tone. "Great, I'll pick you up in half an hour" I said. I didn't know why, but I was really excited to see her.

Clare's Pov

When I hung up my phone, I went to the bathroom to take a quick shower. Once I was finished, I stepped out of the tub and wrapped myself in a white towel. I entered my room to get ready and put my clothes on. I was about to go to the closet til I heard my phone wring. It was a text from a number I've never seen. It read: you forgot to turn off the lights in the bathroom ;) . I read the text over again. I was getting scared. Was this a joke? Who was this? I chose to ignore it. This was probably Adam messing with me. The strange this was, I did forget to turn off the lights in the bathroom. I put on my clothes. I put on a dark blue tee shirt with light blue jeans. I put on ballet flats which were a peach color. I took my purse and headed out the door. Just as I was about to open it it, I heard something break. It sounded like it was glass. Quickly, I turned around.

I went downstairs with a big grin on my face. I was so happy that Clare forgave me. "Where are you heading" a familiar voice said. I turned around. "I'm going to go meet Clare." "Before, you go, can I talk to you for a second?" said Bullfrog. I sat down on the couch. "What is it?" I said in a calm tone. "You seem to be doing better with your mother passing away" He said. "I am, all thanks to Clare". "I'm really proud of you son, your very strong". I smiled. "Thanks dad" I said as I got up and was ready to leave.

Clare's Pov

Before I had time to make a sound, I was pushed against the wall. I heard a loud thump as I dropped to the floor. I looked up. Fitz had a maniac type of smile. I crawled to the door and attempted to get out. I knew it wouldn't work. He grabbed me by my legs and pulled me back where I was. "Now why would you try to run Clare?" "I don't want to hurt you, but now I have no choice now do I?" I started to scream at the top of my lungs. Before I knew it I was slapped. He started digging In his bag. He pulled out a shiny object. I looked closer. It was a pocket knife. He started to twirl it and play with it. "Now, you wouldn't want me to use this now would you Clare?" He said in a cold tone. I kept quiet. I was so afraid. I didn't want to move or make a sound. Hopefully, Eli will get here in time. He usually comes in by himself.

I walked out of my house and went into my hearse. I didn't want to put on music for now. I drove for about five more minutes til I finally arrived. I was planning on scaring her like I did before. I walked up the stairs and swung the door open. I saw Fitz standing over Clare. He had a knife in his hand. "GET THE HELL OUT" I screamed as I ran towards her. He put the knife to her throat. "Stay back emo boy, or I'll just have to kill your little girlfriend.
