Clare's eyes shifted to the clock as she breathed in slowly. Her hair was tampered,up in different directions and she was red from running around the house like a lunatic. Clare figured she was the only one in the house so she decided to do a little detective work. She trudged to Jake's room,which was only a few doors down. Opening it slowly,a massive chill ran through her spine as she took her first step into the cold,mysterious room. She couldn't trust Jake anymore,he was a rapist and he was guilty for all his faults. A pang of guilt erupted in her body after her realization. All this time,she despised Julia for no reason at all. For something she was telling the truth about. God,she feels like a bitch. Clare looks around and quietly closes the door behind her before sprinting around the room looking for anything that might tell her about the party. Nothing but a few beer bottles took it away. She was on the verge of giving up before she saw a few slips sticking out from under his laptop. Hesitantly,she picked them up almost gasping at the sight. They were pictures,Clare guessed they were the pictures she saw when she was with Eli on the balcony.

Eli. The last time she talked to him was when she snapped at him for being false. Clare shook the memory out of her head before continuing to look at the photos. One was off Julia,drunk and holding an empty beer bottle in her hand,her hair was messed up and her eyes were closed. Clare set that on the table. Another one was of her,alive and smiling near Jake who wasn't paying attention to the camera and was talking to someone that wasn't in the photo. She set it on the table. Then another one was of Jake's friend,whom she doesn't know the name of but seen him around,he had a bottle in her hand and the end was in Julia's mouth,it looked force but Clare was paying attention to their poses. Someone's hand was on her arm pulling her down on the bed,while another one held her legs. Her shirt was off and her bra was tampered with. Clare felt blood run through her veins as she set it down carefully. Another one looked as if it came out of a horror scene,Julia's arms were tied to the bed by tie's and her legs hung on the end. Jake was near her and he was rummaging through the closet for something in the corner. Clare let a tear fall as she set it down piling them up and putting them where she found it.

''Why would he leave those hanging around?'' She told herself before closing the door and bumping into a hard chest. Much to her dismay,Jake was staring down at her with wide dark eyes,a frown etched on his face. Her heart started to beat erratically as she looked up at the hard frown on his face. He laid a hand on the wall as if he were trying to block her from continuing down the hall. Clare looked over his shoulder craning her neck and Jake flashed her a forced smile. ''When did you come?'' She asked in a hushed tone and Jake snorted.

''A few minutes ago,the door was open.'' He responded darkly and Clare looked up at him. ''Clare you need to close the door,what if a rapist or a sicko came in?'' He asked and for a second Clare thought he was joking,but his facial expression showed no humor and Clare felt herself blush...in a bad way at that.

''I-I didn't know.'' She responded and Jake glanced at the door and back at her.

''Why were you in my room?'' He asked her backing away and opening the door and Clare was quick to find an excuse. She couldn't make it seem as if she was there for the reason she was. She fumbled with her thumbs before looking at him straight in the eyes.

''I lost my headphones.'' She cover's quickly and follows him inside his room feeling the same eerie sensation she always got when she came into his room. ''I figured you had them-''

''I don't.'' He cut her off and Clare nods her head quickly mentally slapping herself for being so stupid.

''I know but it doesn't hurt to be sure,right?''She says laughing nervously and Jake shoots her an odd look. He shrugs and shoo's her out the room. ''Uh Bye,'' She mutters as he pushes her out and closes the door,little did he know that she knows his dirty little secret. She lets out a soft sigh before plopping on her bed,the haunting images still glued in her mind. Reaching for her phone, she dials Alli quickly beckoning her to come over.

When Alli comes,a frown is planted on her face and her arms were crossed. Clare then remembered that Alli didn't believe her when she told her Jake was guilty. Clare quickly dragged Alli up the steps and closing the door before sitting on her bed. Confused,Alli sits beside her waiting for her to speak. ''Why did you call me here?'' Alli finally says after a period of silence and Clare's tongue grazes her lower lip.

''Remember when I told you about Jake being guilty?'' Clare says and Alli groans preparing to stand up but Clare pulls her back down. ''Well I found pictures that might change your mind.'' Clare explained and Alli cocked an eyebrow at her.

''What are you saying?'' She responded and Alli's eyes widened. ''Omg,where are they? I wanna see!'' Alli continued excitedly and Clare shushed her making sure the door was closed. Alli pretending to zip her lips and trash the key her eyes widening in the process. Clare sighs looking at the ground until Alli bites her lower lip.

''The photos are in his room.'' She whispers feeling slightly paranoid. She hoped he wasn't listening in on their conversation. ''He's in there right now,so I can't show you.'' She looks at the door and Alli squeals to herself.

''Ooh detective work.'' She smiles and Clare sighed. ''Is he leaving anytime soon?''

''I don't think so.'' Clare starts. ''He just came back-''

''Guys im going to hang out with Freddie.'' Jake said poking his head through the door. ''Remember to lock the door.'' He then joked and disappeared. Alli turns to her friend grinning deviously as she follows Jake to the door happily. Closing it and locking it,she sprinted to his room opening it quickly. In worry,Clare ran to his room following Alli with a worried expression etched across her pale face.

''Whoa.'' Alli said flipping from one picture to another and Clare snatched it from her hand. Quickly grabbing Clare's phone,Alli took a picture of each and every photo licking her lip deviously. Looking at Clare,she waved the phone in her face. ''Just in case Jake gets smart and discards these photos.''

''So you believe me?'' Clare says hopefully and in response Alli snorts.

''After these photos,''She says handing Clare's phone back. ''hell yes.''

Clare smiled and Alli bit her lower lip. ''So here's the million dollar question,'' Alli starts and Clare scrunches her eyebrows in confusion. ''Are you going to tell detective Brenner or are you taking this one to the grave?''

Clare bit her lower lip before breathing in deeply.

''Honestly,I don't know.'' She muttered.

Eli sighed as he leaned in the chair closing his eyes immediately,before getting shoved to the side. He groaned in response and he eyed his boss,who's arms were crossed and stared at him furiously. ''Oh sorry.'' Eli muttered and pushed himself off the stool and around the counter muttering profanities under his breath angrily. He then started serving customers who were banging on the counter impatiently and he felt like punching them. After a few hours,he saw the locks of honey and he looked at the last person he wanted to see.

''Hi Clare.'' He greets under his breath and he cleans the counter with a washcloth. Clare sits on the stool saying nothing and he glances up at her. ''How'd you get in?''

Clare chews on her lower lip sighing. ''The security guard recognized me I guess.'' She shrugged and he mentally cursed at the guard. ''Despite our troubles,I have something to show you.'' She looks through her phone and Eli cocks an eyebrow at her. She hold's it up in front of his face and his eyes widen when he sees the breast of his sister,Julia. '

''Argh.'' He screeches covering his face and Clare sighs as she continues to slide through the pictures. He then gets the courage to look at them and he frowns in disgust. ''Jake did this?'' He asked her and Clare nods.

''You know,the trial is tomorrow.'' Clare says sadly and Eli nods continuing to clean the counter around her. ''I'm dreading every second that leads to it.'' She sets her phone down and Eli sighs. ''Jake's been acting differently lately too.''She explains. ''He caught me in his room and there was this type of mixture in his eyes,'' She frowns. ''It was horrifying.'' Eli stares at her before dropping the cloth in the bin and sighing at her.

''I know you're still angry at me.'' He started. ''About you know..''

Clare looked at him and ignored his comment.

''What do you think is going to happen at the trial tomorrow?''

''We'll just wait and see.''
