AN: Forgive me if this is bad I kind of forgot where I left off and I got bored trying to read what I wrote. Lol I hope it doesn't bore you all. Here you go sorry it took so long...
And thank you I feel much better.
Adam
She was pretty I thought as she made her way over to us. But just because Eli thought she was nice didn't mean she wasn't threatening me. After all if she lost her memory then she might not realize she isn't the same sweet girl she might have been. I eyed Eli as his eyes brightened up a bit. I smirked at him as he stared at the girl.
"What are you doing here?" She asked, now looking at me. A shiver affected her as she looked away. She looked a bit nervous as she stopped by our table. It almost looked like she was more terrofied then I was...If that was even possible.
"Edwards?" I asked, catching her attention again. She looked me over then back at Eli and then to my surprise she grinned. She was fucking grinning.
"I get it. This was all a big joke." She stated looking instantly relieved.
"Um Clare. Do you remember anything else since the hospital?" Eli asked, her. I gave him an appreciative look as he began to question her. I had lost my nerve. I always did. That was one of the main reasons I was in so much danger these days.
"No. Nothing, I barely remember the week after at the hospital. I remember you never came back. I was honestly thinking I made you up to be honest." She replied in a quiet voice eyeing Eli like she wasn't sure yet if she was going to run or not.
"Please sit down. Can I get you anything?" Eli asked calmly, looking at me trying to silently tell me to stay calm and cool. I nodded not making eye contact with her. I was still nervous even though I had Eli there to cover my back.
"Um a Tea would be nice thank you." She said quietly. She looked over at me as Eli got up. I swallowed hard and took a deep breath. "You're Adam?" She asked, her voice barely above a whisper. I nodded my head not trusting my voice. "Well can I hear the recording?"
Eli
I was actually shaking as I stood up to go get her a tea. She looked terrofied to say the least and I felt back for both her and Adam. But I believe Adam when he said he was being threatened by her. After all he has never lied to me before why would he lie no. He didn't even know I knew Clare before so he had know way of setting this up as a prank. I got to the counter and the guy behind the bar eyed me quizacly.
"I need a hot tea please." I said quietly taking my wallet out of my pocket. He nodded and turned to make her tea. I looked over my shoulder and saw Adam relax a bit as she began to talk to him. She was very tense I noticed as she fiddled with her hands. I raised my eye brow as Adam reached into his bag and pulled out his phone. I was curious about what they were doing when he handed it to Clare. The door bell rang again as someone left the deli and I turned to find Clare's tea was done.
I handed the guy the money with a small thank you and walked back over to the table just as Clare put the phone to her ear. I sat her tea down and she gave me a weak smile as she listened to the phone. I sat down giving Adam a questioning look and he just shook his head. I sighed and watched Clare instead. I tried to focus on her expression rather then her beauty but I found it hard to do.
She took a sip of her tea and frowned at the phone. "That's not me." She said looking down at the phone now.
Clare
It was Jenna's voice I was listening to yelling angerly into my ear. I was shocked to hear the things she was saying to the voice mail that was ment for Adam. "That's not me." I stated simply, looking down at his phone.
"If it's not you then who is it?" Adam asked softly. I sighed and looked at Eli regreting it almost immediatly. I looked away quickly and sighed.
"I couldn't tell you. But why would they have my phone?" I wondered out loud covering up any information I might give away with a carefully conciled voice. "And you said you've been calling my phone all week and yet I haven't gotten one call from you?" I asked trying to make it seem like I was trying to figure it out, but I think I under stand...Well I at least understand why Jenna has been avoiding me lately.
"I've called every day since the first call." Adam replied looking over at Eli who was watching me carefully.
"This wasn't the first one?" I asked astonished. "Were each from the same number?" I asked suddenly furious.
"Yes all of them were from your cell phone. Or at least I think it was your cell phone."
"Yes, that is the phone you got a hold of me on. But how is that possible it's been on me the entire time."
"But you don't know that for sure." Eli dead panned. "And you couldn't have had it in the hospital they wouldn't of let you."
"I didn't get any threats after the night you told me you saved her." Adam said, looking at Eli.
"You told him about me?" I asked, feeling oddly happy that he would have mentioned me again after he left and never returned. I looked at Eli and he just nodded his eyebrows drawn together and his lips were in a flat line. "When was the last night you got the call."
"That morning of your accident. If I have the dates right." Adam said.
"Well then how do we know it was me." I asked, nervous about this. I knew after all who it was but I don't know why she would threaten Adam or even what Adam was into. I was scared of him even though he was pretty small for a guy. Hell he was even feminime I noticed looking over him for the first time fully taking him in.
He has soft white skin that was slightly pink on his cheeks. His shaggy light brown hair was hidden under a beanie he wore. and his close was pretty baggy making him look even smaller. His pale blue eyes were staring intently at the table as if he were searching for someone. "How do we know it wasn't?" Eli asked. I shot my hand out to him holding the phone out. He eyed it for a moment before taking it.
"Listen to it. Then tell me that is me." I demanded angry at what he was suguesting. My memory might be fucked but I knew that I wasn't bad enough to not remember my own best friends voice over the phone. I watched as he quietly listened to the phone not looking at anything inparticular. After he was done he handed Adam the phone and got up. "Where are you going?" I asked Adam quickly echoing me. He eyed me for a second then shook his head.
"That's not you. But then who is it? Someone obviously close to you." He said, he caught my eyes with his and my heart stopped. He knew something that he wasn't sharing with Adam but I had a feeling I was on the inside of his thoughts. "I have to go it's getting dark. Really you should go too." My mouth dropped at him and Adam's eyes widened.
Eli
"We can meet another time. Or you guys can stay whatever I have to get going though." I added my heart pounding in my chest. That was Jenna's voice. I would recognize the annoying high pitch anywhere. I knew Clare knew the voice but what I couldn't figure out is why she would cover for her. "I"ll see you later Adam." I said before walking away from them.
"Wait!" Clare called after me as I walked out onto the street. It was now dark out aside from the street lights and the slight breeze was refreshing to me. "Eli!" She shouted grabbing ahold of my elbow to stop me. I froze at her touch and turned around.
"What?" I snapped a bit more harsh then I ment too, the look on her face shocked me. She knew that I knew it was Jenna and I was scaring her I could tell. "I'm sorry." I stated shortly, trying to soften my features. "Why did you lie?" I asked her trying not to breath in her sweet scent as the wind blew it my way.
"I didn't lie." She stated, her face proving yet again she was a horrible liar.
I smirked at the cute look she got when she lied. "You're a terrible liar." I stated only to recieve a slight blush from her.
"I don't understand why she would threaten him." She said in a quiet voice. "Why would she pretend to be me to threaten him?" She asked looking at the ground. She almost looked like she had been betrayed. If only she really knew Jenna the way I did. Of course I couldn't tell her that though instead I looked her in the eyes until her blush deepened.
"You're going to find out though right?" I asked her softly.
"Of course it's my job to investigate. Well it was until the accident. I lost my job. But I was a journalist." She started rambling. She was acting like she was nervous which made me smirk even more. Finally she stopped to take a breath and looked up at me anxiously.
"Well then let me know what you find out." I replied leaning in a bit closer to her to get a better wiff of her scent. She rocked back on her heels and nodded.
"Of course. Adam's your friend right?" She asked, I just simply nodded my head looking into her eyes.
"Has anyone told you, you have really pretty eyes?" I asked, almost as astonished by my words then she was.
She looked down at the ground her face now a deep red. "Um. Thanks." She said, playing with her hands again.
"Well Edwards you should be going. It's getting late and this isn't a safe place for you to be. I'll follow you until we're in a safer neighborhood." I said, trying to cover up my embarrassment that lingered in my mind at my outburst. She nodded, and turned to walk to her car. "And Clare!" I called stopping her in mid-step. She turned to look at me just as the wind decided to blow and it blew she soft curls out of her face my breath almost caught in my throat. She really was absolutely beautiful. "Don't forget to call me." I said, walking towards the parkinglot.
Once I was in my car and she was in hers I took a deep breath. What the hell was wrong with me? I wondered as I followed her as she pulled out of the drive way. My car blarred music out of the speakers and I sighed. No car had a stero system like Morty and it was depressing. Maybe now that I didn't have to save up for a wedding I could use my money to get him fixed. That was a happy thought. But the thought of no wedding over shadowed any thought of Morty.
I couldn't believe Julia would do that to me. I thought we were happy. I thought that we were in love. I thought. That's all I could think about was what I had thought I knew about us. Slowly my thoughts began to drift to Clare. She thought she knew too. But really she didn't. Jenna wasn't who Clare thought she was but then again neither was her boyfriend.
My grip tightened on the steering wheel as I thought about what Jenna and KC were doing behind Clare's back. She had no clue that KC too wasn't who he appeared to be. She didn't deserve that, but maybe it was for the best that she didn't remember. Now maybe KC could fix his mistake. It was obvious that she loved him. I only could hope that he felt the same. She deserved it.
Yet a part of me wished that he wouldn't feel the same. That some how she found out about Jenna and KC's betrayl. After all if I had to find out shouldn't she have to find out? I thought and suddenly felt ashamed. I watched her pull into a decently safe neighborhood and I continued straight not following her. She hooked and I smiled. I should be ashamed. Clare didn't deserve to ever be hurt. If I were KC I would worship her.
Wait did I just wish I was KC? I wondered. I shook my head. Nah...I have too much to worry about and too much drama as it is with out falling for a girl like Clare. And I could fall for a girl like Clare easily.
AN: Blah I'm not sure I liked this... Let me know what you think... If not I'll fix it. I'm not very pleased with it at all.
