A/N: Okay, I'm going to try my best to make this a longer chapter. There will be an overwhelming amount of drama in this chapter—you have been warned! Hahaha just kidding but seriously, there will be some unexpected drama and twists that you guys never saw coming. And I'm going to try my darndest to not make this chapter suck : )!
Also, I do not own degrassi or Eli, Alli, Adam, or Drew.
Adam's POV
It was about 8 am, and I sat on my bed wondering what I was going to do. I thought about Eli sleeping in the other room, and I instantly felt like I was going to throw up. I'm a horrible friend. He's going to hate me once he finds out. I'm in love with his girlfriend. I just couldn't help it. She's gorgeous and funny and absolutely perfect. It hurts me every day to see him texting her, to hear their phone conversations, to watch them kiss so many times every day. It tears me apart. I've tried to forget about her and remind myself that she's not my girlfriend, she's his, but that only hurts me more. I can't act on these feelings. Eli's my friend, and that's all Lexi can be with me too. Just my friend. I'm in some deep shit now.
Alli's POV
"Lex, get up!" She groaned and mumbled something about her mom not letting her sleep. I laughed. "Lex, seriously get up!"
"Why in the world did you wake me up at 8 am on a Saturday?"
"Because, I'm throwing a party in my parents' house tonight while they are out of town." This time she jumped out of bed.
"Ahhhh! A party? Yes! I'm so pumped for this! What time is it?"
"8 'til whenever, I guess" She screamed again.
"Oh my gosh! You have to go set this place up!" I threw a pillow at her.
"Duh! That's why I woke you up." She laughed.
"Of course! It's not like you woke me up to bring me breakfast in bed or anything of the sort."
"You know, you just might be more sarcastic than Eli." We both laughed.
"Trust me, no one's more sarcastic than he is."
"Okay, so we need to get to the store and then to my parents house to set up and get ready."
"Okay, let me hop in the shower really quick and pack a bag with makeup and such and we can go." We decided to just take Lexi's car because mine had absolutely no gas in it. We went to the store and made it back to my parents' house by 3. We finished setting up and we sent a mass text to everyone we knew, and after that we only had about an hour to get ready. we got dressed and did our hair and makeup. I was wearing a really cute blue, strapless dress with black heels. And Lexi had on a short purple dress with silver heels, which I made me wear. As hosts of "The best party in the history of Canada", we have to dress up. Maybe, I just made that up, but it worked, and that was the goal. Everyone was there by 9:30 and the music was awesome and it was loud. This was the best party I've ever thrown.
Lexi's POV
I heard someone knocking on the door, and Alli seemed just a bit preoccupied with sucking off Drew's face so I answered it and ran to see the person behind it.
"Eli!" he laughed as we hugged.
"Well, someone is happy to see me." He smirked.
"Who me? Of course not! I'm just practicing running in my 4 inch heels." I said sarcastically. "Of course I'm happy to see you!" He laughed again, and stared into my brown eyes and I got lost in his green ones. I was still kinda shorter than him with my heels on, so I leaned up and gently pressed my lips against his. The kiss started off slow, but heated up in only a short amount of time. My hands left his shoulders and knotted themselves in his hair as his hands went lower and lower until I felt him squeeze my butt. I licked his bottom lip, and pushed my tongue into his mouth. I moaned in his mouth and pushed myself as close to him as I could get.
Adam's POV
I walked up to the door of Alli's parents' house. I needed a party to take my mind off of certain things or people. I knew she and Eli would be here together, but I assumed they wouldn't be near me for most of the party. I assumed I could avoid seeing the two of them together. I assumed wrong. As I walked up to the entrance of the house, my heart broke. Right in the doorway I see Lexi and Eli making out. I knew they would be kissing during the party, but I assumed they would be alone or upstairs or something. Once again, I assumed wrong. I walked up to them and cleared my throat kind of obnoxiously.
Eli's POV
Lexi looked absolutely amazing. She even curled her hair. She looked flawless. It was beyond cute when she ran up to me in the doorway; just another reason for me to fall in love with her. Everything she did only made me love her more. I was really getting into our kiss, until I heard someone clearing their throat. Lexi pulled away, but I kept my hold on her, and turned to see who interrupted our moment.
"Hey, sorry about that, but you guys kinda blocked the whole door." Adam said.
"No, that's fine man." I let go of Lexi briefly and gave him a bro hug.
"Hi Adam!" Lexi said as she hugged him. She tried to pull out of the hug, but it looked like Adam wouldn't let go? That was weird. She probably smells good and he was smelling her. No, 'cause that's weird too. Lexi shifted uncomfortably.
"Uhm, everybody's inside if you wanted to say hi and get some food or something." Lexi said.
"Right, see you guys later." Adam said as he walked inside. I decided to break the awkward silence.
"That was weird."
"Just a bit."
"Do you smell good or something, 'cause he just didn't seem to want to let you go." She gave me a questioning look.
"Uhm, I would hope I smell good. But I don't think that would be a reason why he would hold onto me longer than necessary.
"Oh my gosh! He loves you!"
"I'm sorry?"
"Lex, when we were kissing we were against each other on the wall near the doorframe! We're both not the biggest people and we were flush against each other and not even in the doorframe, 'cause we were on the wall next to it!"
"Okay, so what's your point?"
"He could've gotten into the door, but he stopped us from kissing."
"So, you think that one of your best friends is in love with me?"
"I don't think, I know."
"Alright, babe. Since you're so sure about this, I believe you, but I don't think he loves me or whatever."
"As long as you believe me, I'm perfectly content." She smiled.
"Good, now let's go enjoy this party." She said as she pulled me inside. This really upbeat song came on and Lexi all but begged me to dance with her. We went to the middle of the dance floor and Lexi started grinding on me. I knew Lexi was good at a lot of things, but it's not just that; there's nothing she's bad at. That only made me more attracted to her, because she sees herself with all these flaws when really she has none. The song ended and Lexi leaned up to my ear and told me she was going to find Alli for something. I nodded and soon she disappeared into the crowd, and I went off to go find some food. After about 10 minutes, I saw Alli with Drew walking to the food table.
"Hey guys. Have you seen Lexi? She said she was looking for you."
"Uhm, no I haven't seen her." Lexi's never lied to me before. Something's just not adding up; I need to find her. I looked all over the house and she wasn't there, so I grabbed a jacket and ran outside to find her.
Lexi's POV
I needed to find Alli so I could find some other shoes 'cause my feet were killing me. I saw her across the room, but before I could reach her someone grabbed me and pulled me through the back door, with their hand over my mouth. When I turned around, I saw that it was… Adam?
"Oh my gosh! Adam! You scared the living daylights out of me! Why did you "kidnap" me?
"Eli couldn't see me leave with you. So, I waited until you two were separated to steal you away."
"I'm not following. Why are you stealing me away?"
"I love you, Lexi. You can't be with him. Please, just tell me that you want to be with me."
"I'm sorry, but I love Eli. I have to go." I started to walk back inside, when I felt him grab my arm and pull me back.
"NO! you have to tell me that you're going to leave him!"
"I'm not going to so leave me alone!" His grip on my arm tightened.
"Adam! Stop! You're hurting me!"
"YOU'RE hurting ME! You're breaking my heart, Alexis!" My name sounded like venom when he said it, and I couldn't help but cry. Then, he kissed me. It was awful and forced, and it took me minutes to finally push him away. And when I did I slapped him and yelled some more.
"Adam! Please just stop this and let it go! I want Eli, not you! Just leave me alone!" I guess I angered him, because I saw him push me backwards. I didn't realize how strong he was because I felt myself falling down the stairs. When I stopped falling, my head hurt and I was very dizzy, but I stood up as best as a I could, and it was then when I realized Adam must have left after he saw what he did. I took off my heels and limped back up the stairs and through the back door; I had to find Eli.
Eli's POV
I looked all around the neighborhood and I didn't find her, so I went back to the house just incase she showed up. When I got there I saw Adam running away from the house. Weird? Yes. I would probably just talk to him about it later. I rushed inside, and practically sprinted to where Lexi was standing.
"Oh my God, Lex? Where the hell were you? And what the fuck happened to you?" She looked like someone beat her with a bat.
"I…I- uhm, I was…" She looked like she would break at that moment, so I wrapped her into my arms and comforted my girlfriend as best as I could.
"Do you need to go to the hospital or something?" I asked concerned. I felt her shake her head on my chest.
"I just feel really dizzy. I need to lay down and maybe get some ice for my head."
"Okay, let me get some ice and we can just go upstairs, okay?"
"Thank you." I smiled at her. I went to go get ice and explained everything to Alli. As I carried Lexi up the stairs I couldn't help but think who would do this to her? Every time she moved, she was in pain, and that killed me. How the hell did this happen? I was right there. How could I let this happen to her? I had to know what happened. I laid her on the bed and I sat with her and held her close to me.
"Lex, baby what happened?"
"You were right. I'm so sorry! I should've taken what you said more seriously. I—"
"Woah, Lex. Calm down. What was I right about?" She sniffled.
"Adam. You were right, about everything." I was furious! Adam? Adam beat up my girlfriend. My fists clenched, and I didn't say anything.
"When I left to go find Alli, he pulled my into the backyard, and told me how he loves me and he wanted me to choose him over you and I told him no and tried to go back inside. He grabbed my arm and started yelling more about how he loved me a-and t-then he…" She started crying again so I rubbed her arm soothingly, but she flinched and pulled away. It was then that I noticed the huge bruise on her arm.
"Baby, what did he do?"
"He kissed me. " My jaw clenched along with my fists. I was going to kill Adam. " I pushed him off and slapped him and told him to leave me alone, because I wasn't going to leave you for him, and I guess he got more upset with me and he pushed me down the stairs. When I finally stood back up, he was gone, so I limped back up the stairs and went back to the party, and that's when you found me."
"I'm gonna kill him."
"NO! Eli please don't!"
"Why the fuck not? He fucking kissed my girlfriend then pushed her down the stairs!"
"Eli ,please. Stay away from him, for me."
"So, you just want me to let this go?" I asked enraged.
"No. I want you to leave him alone."
"I just don't understand why you want to protect him."
"I don't want to protect him. He deserves whatever you were going to do, but I don't want you to fight. I don't want you to get hurt, I would much rather have you cuddle with me, then fight with him."
"Okay."
"You promise that you won't fight him?"
"I'd promise anything, if it meant having you in my arms."
"Thank you for looking for me?"
"What do you mean?"
"When you saw me downstairs, you were so frantic and you just came from outside, so I assume you were looking for me, right?"
"Oh, yeah, I was."
"How did you know something was wrong?"
"Well, 10 minutes went by and then I saw Alli, and you weren't with her, so I just knew, I guess." I said as I scratched the back of my head nervously.
"Well, thank you." She said as she pecked my cheek.
"I'd do anything for you, Lexi. I think deep down, you already knew that." I smiled.
"I'd do anything for you too. I think you're it for me, Eli. You are all I want and all I will ever need."
"I love you Lexi. I will forever." She smiled at me and we both leaned in and shared a gentle kiss, and I was very careful not to hurt her. When I pulled away, I stared deep into her eyes and pressed our foreheads together. "You know, I think you're it for me too." She smiled and we fell asleep thinking of a future with each other and no one else.
A/N: over 2500 words! I'm pretty sure that's my longest chapter ever! I love Adam, but this story needed something that no one would expect, so there it was! Next chapter, Eli decides what to do about Adam. Does he fight? Does he listen to Lexi? I don't know cause I haven't written it yet. Anyway, review? Thatd make me super happy : )
