I enjoyed watching Imogeli together but in all honesty,they seem way better as good friends. SHE MADE HIM SMILE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD,ESPECIALLY AFTER THAT ''GO TO HELL'' SHIT,amazing. Should I continue Eating Us Alive? Hmm I feel like everyone lost interest..
Eli's eyes turn to a dark shade as he turns to Julia. A smirk that surprisingly mirrored Eli's was etched across her features as she stared at the page in full amusement. Annoyance invaded his body and he snatched the book from her hands and set it on the table furiously. ''Hey!'' She shot him a frown and he exhales deeply rubbing his temple. ''I was reading that!'' She groans and reaches to take it back but Eli's grabs her up to face him.
''Why are you so freaking pissed off all of a sudden?'' She snaps and Eli sighs letting go of her wrist. ''I did nothing wrong.'' She lifts her shoulders in a shrug before gripping on the book and preparing herself to head upstairs but Eli's intentions were opposite,he pulled her to face him once again and she rolls her eyes in response.
''I told you what Clare told me because I felt like you needed to know.'' Eli explains and Julia mutters words under her breath. ''What I didn't know was that you were going to put it against this.'' He says and waves his hands around to prove his point and Julia gnaws on her lower lip glancing around the room.
''I want Jake behind bars.'' Julia said bluntly and she crossed her arms in annoyance. Eli nods in response but then shakes his head. ''Oh and if you get on my nerves,I will tell the cops your little illegal love with miss Clare Edwards.'' She said plopping herself on the couch and flips through the book trying to find her page as Eli stares at her.
''Wow.'' Eli mutters sardonically. ''You are such a sweet sister.'' He rolls his eyes and then decides going another turn. ''Just don't say anything about her and I,we're not even together.'' He lies and looks around avoiding her eyes and she scowls.
''Whatever Eli.'' She takes her bed sheet and flips it around her sighing sadly. ''I never wanted it to be like this,sometimes I feel like I should've never reported Jake.'' She frowns and her eyes glisten with fresh tears but Eli wasn't having it. He glares at her as he walks up the steps and closes the door behind me leaving her alone to her thoughts.
He scrolls through his contacts groaning in annoyance when he finds Drew's. The amount of betrayal had struck him and he deleted him off his contacts feeling a weight lift of his shoulders. A feeling of relief had given him chills that ran down his spine. He smiled to himself and realized he hasn't been smiling like before. Blame it on Julia.
He decides to call Adam,feeling guilty that he's cut him off. After three rings Adam squeaky voice comes from the other line. ''Hello?'' He mutters and Eli exhales.
''Hey.'' Eli responds and he can feel a grin appear on Adam's face. Eli pushes himself up and leans against the wall glancing around his darken walls. He sighs and toys with his feet.
''Oh hi Eli!'' Adam responds happily and he mutters something under his breath to someone who seemed to be with him.
''Am interrupting something?'' He asks and Adam responds with a small 'no'.
''Actually..''He pauses and breathes in deeply. ''Yes,can we talk later?''
''Ok..'' He gnaws on his lower lip and hangs up.
Looking through his contacts he decides to call Clare,who picked up on the first ring.
''Hi Eli.''She says coldly and her distance baffles him but he decides to ignore it. He plays with the zipper on his pants and he bites his lower lip.
''Um Hi..'' He responds and she sighs in slight annoyance. '' You seem distant.'' He mumbles and Clare stays silent.
''You seem like a huge liar right now.'' She deadpans and shocked,Eli eyes widen.
''What?''
''Drew told me.'' She starts and Eli opens his mouth to speak. ''Drew told me everything,every detail.'' She explains coldly and for a second,Eli forgets who Drew was. ''He told me that this was all an act,that you were only hanging out with me to get a toll out of Jake.'' She explains and Eli becomes suddenly angry at Drew and Clare.
''And you believe him?'' He snaps and Clare breathes in deeply.
''Well..is it true?'' It was barely a whisper.
''I-'' He paused and realized he needed to tell the truth. ''It started out that way and-''
''Wow'' She laughed and snorted sardonically. ''I'm such an idiot.''
''-But I started growing real feelings..''
''When,yesterday? Two minutes ago?'' She ranted and Eli sighed. He didn't want to hear this so the only way out was to hang up,and that's exactly what he did.
He didn't want to hear his faults right now.
XXXX
''I'm awesome!''
Adam nodded and pretend to be the audience cheering. Eli sighed leaning against the couch in defeat before glancing at his phone sadly. Clare hasn't called and he didn't have the guts to call her after he hung up on her in the middle of her rant. He sighed setting the control on the table.
''Aww are you still moping around because your girlfriend figured you out?'' Adam said still fawning over his win and Eli rolled his eyes staring at the ceiling. Adam realized his fault and sat beside Eli groaning. ''You're told old for her anyway.'' Adam said trying to make him feel better and Eli shook his head.
''Its not that..''
He starts and bites his lip.
Adam stares at him for a second before realizing what's going on.
''Oh Shit.''
its super short I know,umm but I felt like it was a good point to end. SO YEAH. 15 chapters maybe?
