Meanwhile, back at the cabin

"So," Imogen sauntered over to Jake who was drying himself off with a towel. "What exactly did we interrupt between you and Clare? Looked like a lot of fun."

Jake smiled. "It was just fun. Nothing really," he lied.

Imogen was a keen reader of people. She saw right through Jake. "You know I'm not stupid, Jake. You and Clare still have something, I can feel it." She took out her bottle of vodka and began sipping it. "You may not want to admit it, but it's the truth."

Jake furrowed his eyebrows. "You know, you're right. I feel that I still have feelings for Clare, but I don't think she has any for me anymore. And I think I am okay with that. Our parents are getting married soon, and I think it's for the best that we just be friends. I love my father too much to screw up his happiness for my own," he said thoughtfully.

Imogen rolled her eyes. "I think I'm gonna vomit. No offense."

He looked up at her and smirked. "You really think I'm that bad?"

Imogen leaned into Jake, and she was almost touching him. "I just don't understand why you are giving up the person that you love. You could be with her, Jake," she touched his bare chest, "And I know how to get her back for you."

Adam's POV

As much as I didn't want to admit it, I felt Imogen up to her dirty tricks. She was in the cabin with Jake, and by the looks of it, they were getting pretty close. Imogen's obsession for Eli, however, was too strong for me to believe she was actually interested in Jake.

It had been almost an hour since I had seen Clare and Eli. They had disappeared somewhere to talk. I hoped beyond hope that they would come back soon to relieve me from the weirdness inside the cabin. I was starting to wonder where everyone else was, as well. It was nearly six.

I moseyed my way to the picnic table, still soaked from Clare and Jake's little water fight. As soon as I sat down, cars started to pull up Finally!

"Yo, little brother!"

I grinned. Drew and Katie hopped out of the car with sodas and chips in their hands.

"What took you guys so long?" I teased.

"Pulled over for a bit so we could make out," Drew joked.

Katie blushed. "Hey, Adam! Glad you are home and well. I'm really glad Jake decided to make this about you and not just about the seniors."

I blushed. Katie still had that effect on me. "Yeah, well, don't give him all the credit. It was Eli's idea, and Clare actually convinced Jake to make it happen."

"Yeah, I hear that Eli and Clare are quite the team," Katie replied.

Drew turned around as another car pulled into the driveway. I didn't recognize the car, but Drew's eyes immediately lit up when the driver stepped out of the car. It was Bianca.

"Hey Guys!" Bianca waved, rushing over to join us. I blushed hard. She looked beautiful with her hair swept behind her ear. Her hard exterior over the last couple of months had been drastically softened ever since she turned Vince in for my shooting. She got off pretty lucky with 50 hours of community service and an educational class about drugs and alcohol. She had been incredibly brave for doing what she did, and I had so much respect for her.

Drew, even though he had Katie and was in love with her, still had feelings for Bianca. I could tell. Just like my brother to not ever be satisfied with anyone. I would die to be with a girl like Katie or Bianca. I wish he would just choose one.

"So where is everyone?" Bianca asked, turning to me.

"Clare and Eli disappeared, Jake and Imogen are in the cabin, and so far besides you guys, that's it." I muttered.

Bianca started to fan herself with her hand. "Man, I'm so hot. So I hear there's a dock around? We should start swimming!"

Great. Not that I didn't like swimming that was the first day I would have been swimming with girls that I wanted to sleep with. My self-consciousness was getting the better of me.

"Good idea, Bee," Drew said, throwing his swim trunks over his shoulder.

I slowly followed everyone inside to get changed, really starting to wonder where the hell Clare and Eli were.

Clare's POV

Eli and I never made it back to the cabin to save Adam. We got side tracked because I had decided to do something that I hadn't done in 6 years.

"Eli, wait here."

We were on top of one of the rocks looking down on the water. We were about 25 feet above the falls.

"What are you doing"? he called after me as I took off running in the opposite direction.

I turned around and I started to sprint towards the edge of the rock.

"Clare, what the hell are you doing?"

I ignored him as I ran right by him and jumped off the rock.

"Clare!" I heard his voice yell after me. I hung in the air for what seemed like eternity free falling. It was the most thrilling feeling I had experienced. I felt free. I felt alive. I finally hit the water and stayed under for a minute, letting it engulf my body and mind completely. The water was my sanctuary, and it was perfect.

I suddenly felt something grab me around my waist and pull me towards the surface. Breaking the water and coughing, I whip around to see Eli's startled and concerned face.

"What were you thinking?" he sputtered.

Eli had thought I needed help, and it warmed my heart that he jumped in after me. I started to laugh. Eli looked confused, and then he started to laugh as well. He started to splash me as I screamed in delight. I wrapped my arms around his neck and floated in his arms. My lips found his as we kissed under the waterfall.

Imogen's POV

I had Jake right where I wanted him. He was eating up every single word that was coming out of my mouth.

"Clare will be yours again, you just have to make her jealous, Jake. I promise you and Clare will be together again by the end of the night."

And I WILL have Eli, I thought to myself ruthlessly. If I have to tear Saint Clare apart, piece by piece.

I took another swig of vodka and handed the bottle to Jake. "Here, drink it. It'll give you some balls."

Jake hesitated, but eventually took the bottle from my hands. He winced while the clear liquid poured down his throat.

"How exactly am I supposed to get Clare back?" he asked stupidly.

I rubbed my body against his slowly. I felt him tense, and then relax. "Like this…" I whispered, my lips closing in on his. He closed his eyes and let me kiss him softly.

"I see," he breathed heavily. "Good plan…"

A/N: So there is going to be Imogen/Jake pairing. And Eli and Clare will not be affected too much by this pairing, much to Imogen's dismay. The event that will happen at the party will be dramatic, but will strengthen Eclare- I promise. Review.
