Chapter 9

*I'm so sorry that it took me so long to update! I was on vacation and then I had stuff with the family to deal with! I hope you're still reading this!*


Fiona takes my hand and leads me to her couch.
"Can you sleepover tonight?"
"Urm yeah sure... I guess."
"Yay! That's great! Want to watch a movie?"
"Uh sure... what movie?"
"What are you in the mood to watch?"
"Anything"
"Finding Nemo?"
"Sure…"

I sit on her couch as she puts the movie in. She then snuggles up next to my her head on my chest and my arms wrapped around her.

It is just about half way through the movie and Fiona looks up at me and leans in to kiss me. I then lean in to kiss her and my phone rings.
I look at the screen to see who was calling me, the screen said clear as day "Clare"
I didn't know if I should answer it or not.
I decided to answer it, Clare was being really nice to me today and she tried sticking up for me when Fiona came in.

"Hold on Fiona it's… it's my mom."
"Okay be back soon, my lips are waiting."
I smile a fake smile, get my jacket and go outside.

"Hello?"
"H-h-hey Eli. It's me, Clare." She said, it sounded as if she were crying
"Is everything okay Clare?"
"No not exactly."
"Well what's wrong?"
"That's why I called. Could you please talk to Fiona for me? Today after school she attacked me... out of nowhere."
"Are you sure you didn't provoke her?"
"Whatever Eli you are obviously on her side. I was asking for your help but I guess I was right about you. After you kissed me I broke up with Jake because I thought there was something between us but... I guess not."

I then start to whisper hoping Fiona can't hear me,

"Clare, I never said there was nothing between us."
"So wait... you're saying there is something between us?"
"Yes, I am, as hard as I try to make those feelings go away I just can't"
"Then why are you still with Fiona!"
"Clare I don't have an answer for that."
"Eli can we please talk tomorrow, in person?"
"Urm sure but can we talk during school?"
"Wouldn't people see us talking?"
"I mean during school but not actually inside the school."
"Wait you want us to skip?"
"What you scared Edwards?"
"Pft me scared? Never… let's skip. Come to my house around twelve o'clock?"
"Okay sounds like a plan. I have to go… bye." I then hang up my phone and go back inside.

"Everything okay with your mom?" Fiona asks
"Yeah everything is great." I say as I sit on the couch.
Fiona then cuddles up to me once more and falls asleep on my lap. I too eventually fall asleep after thinking about things with Clare for a while.
