Hey guys. I know what you guys are thinking 'Finally another chapter what took her so dang long?' well I am sorry. I have a big health project to do and I was trying to get at least a start on it, and frankly I haven't really been sure how to write this chapter. My friend has been bugging me about updating so I thought I better before she gets too annoying.

Chapter 10

Eli's POV

"What the hell do you think your doing with my fiancé?" Ryan said coming closer towards me. Clare put her hand on his arm trying to get him to calm down.

"Ryan stop. Leave Eli alone let's talk about this." Clare said trying to fix the situation.

"What are you doing with this guy? I ask you to marry me and you said yes. Then you just cheat on me with him?" Ryan said still as hostile as before. Pointing his pointer finger at me.

"Let's just talk okay?" Clare asked again this time a little more worried.

"Yeah whatever just make this guy leave." He said jabbing his finger towards me again.

Clare's POV

"Okay." I said as Ryan made his way to another room. I looked over at Eli.

"I'll be fine. You should go though. Maybe he'll calm down more once your gone." I said this was absolutely the worst day of my life. Eli nodded his head.

"Call me if he dose anything to you okay?" I nodded.

"I promise." He kissed my forehead and walked out.

I went to my bedroom to find Ryan standing around pacing angrily.

"How could you do this to me? I can't believe you betrayed me like this."

"I'm really sorry Ryan. I never meant to hurt you like this it just kind of happened."

"No it didn't just happen he's has been all over you since your high school reunion hasn't he? Oh that guy is going to pay I swear I'll-"

"Stop don't blame Eli it wasn't his fault. Please just leave Eli alone." I pleaded. I was hoping that I could just disappear.

"Your defending him? He is nothing but bad news, Clare."

"We need to break up." I blurted out.

"BREAK UP? WE ARE NOT GOING TO. YOU ARE GOING TO STAY WITH ME FOREVER." Now I was scared I had never seen Ryan this mad before. I started to back out of the room afraid of what he would do.

"DON'T YOU WALK AWAY FROM ME." He yelled crushing my wrist in his grasp and bringing his other hand up. I suddenly felt a surge of pain in my left cheek and I fell to the floor. I felt tears well up in my eyes as I softly put my hand to where he slapped me. Eli can't ever find out.

Hey guys. Please don't hate me. I know this isn't my best chapter. What do you think of Ryan now? Did you think he had it in him? I feel bad for poor inocent Clare. Please review and tell me what you think. -Kayla
