Clare's POV

When I was taking my nap I was woken up by a knock on the door. I immediately thought I had over slept so I checked my phone for the time, it was only 2:00 Eli wouldn't be here this early would he? I got off the couch and went to check the door.

When I opened the door I saw Jake standing on my porch. What the hell was he doing here?

"Hey Clare" he greeted me, but I was not happy to see him and I knew he realized that.

"Can I help you Jake?" I retorted.

I hadn't really spoken to Jake since me and Eli got back together and I honestly had no problem with that. Jake really had some nerve showing his face around here.

"Yeah, my dad said your mom wanted me to check the water pressure in the sink, something about it was low?" he seemed honest in his reasoning.

"Well she isn't here right now so if you could come back later that would be great" I said as I started to close the door.

He blocked it with his foot. "Uhm actually I cant so if you could let me in now that would be great" he smiled in his response ugh he was disgusting.

I motioned my hand to lead him in. he walked in with his I-am-the-shit strut, its amazing how somebody you use to like could disgust you so much.

He walked to the kitchen and turned on the sink, I followed him.

"Looks like its fine to me Jake, now why don't you tell me why your really here" I knew the whole sink thing was a load of crap, why did I fall for it?

"What are you talking about Clare?"

"Do you honestly think I'm that stupid." I turned around and started walking to the door to lead him out, but he grabbed my arm, when I was passing the couch.

"Listen, I don't like the way things ended and I hate that I cheated on you with Ali"

"How did you know I knew?" I never told Jake actually knew what was going on, so how did he find out?

"Ali told me today that you knew." His response seemed sincere but with Jake I never knew. Unfortunately I couldn't read him entirely like I could Eli.

"Oh well now that you got that off your chest, you can leave."

"Clare can we please just talk." He pleaded; he grabbed my hand and pulled me onto the couch to sit next to him. I wanted so much to pull away but I also wanted to hear what he had to say.

"Look I'm sorry for what I did, it's just, I don't know, something's wrong with me."

"No shit" did he really think that him making up excuses was going to make me forgive him?

"Clare, come on now, I don't see how you can forgive that crazy son of a bitch but not me!" He yelled in my face.

"Ok look Eli never cheated on me with my best friend!"

"No he just writes a novel about slitting your throat and drinking your blood!" he spat back, seriously why does everyone bring that shit up, its not that serious.

"Look, its been almost a year since we broke up so why don't you just get over yourself Jake and get the fuck out of my house."

"No!"

"Excuse me?" he did not just refuse to get out of MY house.

"You heard me, I'm not leaving until I get what I want" he smiled.

"And what is that exactly?" was this some kind of sick game? I sat there waiting for a response. How come he isn't responding? Jake was just sitting there staring at me with a sickening smile.

"Jake!" I screamed. He then did the unthinkable and threw himself upon me and kissed me. Not just a peck either, full on tongue and everything. I tried to push him off of me but he trapped me with his arms and legs. All I could think about was Eli, and what would happen if he found out and then I heard a familiar voice.

"What the fuck is going on here!"

Jake sprung off me and looked at the doorway to see Eli standing there in shock filled anger.

"Damn sorry you had to find out this way man" I looked at Jake in shock.

"What the fuck are you talking about?"

"Clare its okay he was bound to find out" I shook my head in disbelief and turned toward Eli.

"Its not true Eli you have to believe me." Eli was angry but I could tell deep down he was hurting.

"Is this why you didn't want me to drive you home?"
Was he seriously going to believe Jake? I got off the couch and walked towards him and grabbed his hands, luckily he didn't pull away, but he did look away.

"Look at me" he raised his eyes to mine, "you have to believe me, I would never ever betray you, especially with Jake, trust me" he stared into my eyes "Trust me" then his current frown turned into his signature smirk and I knew he believed me.

He looked behind me at Jake and his smirk turned into a mark of distaste.

"You need to get the fuck out of here now!" he yelled at Jake.

"Watch it Goldsworthy" Jake replied calmly.

"You need to watch it Martin" Eli walked past me and towards Jake I quickly moved to intervene.

I stood between them both. "Jake you need to get out of here now and don't come back." I said.

"Fine Clare you want me gone then ill go but ill be back soon enough, it's only a matter of time before psycho over here fucks up again." He gave a devious smile before walking towards the front door.

"Watch you fucking mouth martin I'm serious." Eli just couldn't resist saying something could he?

"OR what, you going hurt me? Going to slit my neck? Crash a car into me?" he was really close to Eli now; Eli had to crane his neck just so he could be at eye level with Jake.

"I'm not going to tell you again, get out of here" I screamed at Jake, I did not want a showdown in the middle of my living groom.

"Fine, I'm leaving but you better watch yourself Goldsworthy, this isn't over."

"Looking forward to it."

Jake then left and Eli and I were standing eye to eye in silence.

Eli's POV

I didn't really know what to say to Clare. Just seeing Jake on top of her like that brought back so much bad memories of when we weren't together. It was heartbreaking to know that something like that can still bother me so much.

"Eli say something" Clare interrupted my train of thought.

"Uhm, I have to go."

"Wait why?"

"Uhm I call you later ok" I left with out a explaining anything I had to get out of here and clear my head.
