Okay guys, so I know Julia is evil. Very cliché, right? But don't be mad because of that! Please? Thanks! Enjoy!


"Hey Eli, I should really get going before my mom has a fit." Clare was miffed, leaving Eli's warm embrace, but time came that she had too. "Are you sure you can't stay overnight?" He kneaded Clare's shoulders, whispering charmingly in her ear, sending goose bumps cascading up and down Clare's arms. Clare blushed harder then when her mom walked in on her singing, 'Pocket Full of Sunshine.' By Natasha Bedingfield.

"I wish." She was still blushing; as she snickered bashfully. Secretly; she was scared that Julia would skin her alive if she chose too, but Clare was too timid to admit that aloud. "Bye sweetie." Clare arose from Eli's comfort, osculating him on the cheek. But that wasn't good enough for him; he twirled her head towards him, and locked lips with her passionately. Clare felt fireworks; almost as it was the 4th of July all over again.

That's why Clare has so much affection for Eli; though they had been going out for three months, she always felt fireworks. It always felt like their first kiss. "Love you babe." She chuckled, feeling her insides tingle with pure and rich happiness. "But I gotta go." She sounded displeased. "Okay." He sighed; sounding equally as discontented. He detached his hand from hers, and watched her jaunt towards the door. She turned around for a brief moment, only to smile at him. She then, was on her way down the hallway…

OoOo

The hallway was as eerie as a man carving his own epitaph. As Clare walked down the dimly lit hallway, a petrifying chill scuttered down her spine in a hurry. A slight breeze of a cold draft, slammed into her cheek, turning it crimson. Clare stopped dead in her tracks, as she heard a door creek open, from behind her. She swiveled around; expecting it to be Eli, but Eli's door was closed, so it couldn't have been him.

She then spotted the bathroom door ajar. Clare was curious on what she had just heard, so she walked towards the bathroom leisurely, still feeling chills scatter around in her body. "Hello?" Clare said in a hushed tone, she was now feet away from the bathroom. No one riposted, but she saw a light flicker in the bathroom.

Clare badly wanted to turn around, but some force was pushing her to investigate. "Eli…" Clare stuttered, feeling her legs shake in ambition. Still, no response. At this time, she was so close to the bathroom, she could feel the radiation of the light instantly warm her skin.

"Oh, hey Clare. Funny meeting you here." Julia twisted her body around the corner of the bathroom door. Clare jumped clean out of her skin "Oh, Julia, you spooked me." Clare's heart was racing like a triathlon. "Sorry, didn't mean to." She seemed really sweet, as she smiled.

"So, how did you enjoy your alone time with Eli?" An evil grin finally carved into her face. "Um, good?" She couldn't believe that Julia brought up a question like this. "Oh, that's great." She tapped her fingers on the wall, as the crept slowly towards the petrified Clare.

"Yea." Clare started backing up, feeling that Julia was getting a little too close. "Well, I think I'm gonna go now, my mom wants me home. I will talk to you later." Clare merrily said, while still backing up, hoping that Eli would come out of his room and save her. But he didn't…

"Hold on Cuppy…" She trailed off, sauntering closer to Clare. "Do you mind if I call you that?" She smirked, using a sarcastic tone. "Um, actually I'd rather you not!" She tried sounding as nice as she could. "Why ever not?" Clare could see the nastiness in Julia's words, drizzle off her tongue, like a leaky faucet. Clare was out of tongue, she had no idea what to say. "Are you gonna answer me?" She demanded bitterly. "Julia, why are you being this way?" Clare questioned, hoping for a reasonable answer. "It's your fault." She hissed, strolling over to Clare, who had finally been backed into a wall.

"Me?" She questioned. "Yes, you! Stop acting so innocent." She stated in an acidy tone. "I didn't do anything to you." Clare was terrified, as Julia finally cornered her. "Bull shit. You took my Eli from me." She rolled her eyes at the naive Clare. "We loved each other and we still do." She tried convincing Clare. "N-no! You're wrong. He loves me." Clare stuttered out. "Ha, he loves you? I suppose he told you that, right? Don't make me laugh." She crossed her arms. "Do you even know what we do when you're gone?" She giggled, only inches away from making contact with Clare's body.

Clare's nose filled with the scent of the lotion Julia was wearing; vanilla bean. "Stop." Clare felt her eyes sting, like a kid who got shampoo in their eyes. "Stop what?" Julia laughed at Clare's pain. "I gotta go." She pushed Julia towards the side, hastily.

"Wait Clare, let's talk some more." She grimaced at Clare who was on the stairwell. "Make me." Clare hissed, finally snapping. Clare was a quarter of the way down the stairs, before Julia came up from behind her, and impelled her hands into Clare's back; knocking Clare down.

Clare toppled down the stairs, stair by lonely stair. Eli rushed out of his room as soon as he heard the commotion, which sounded like a car crash. "What the hell." He raced towards Julia who was grimacing at the top of the stairs; looking down at the falling angel. He stopped in his tracks at the blue eyed beauty that was escalating quickly down the stairs.

Clare finally struck the bottom, bashing her fragile head on the sharp corner of the wall. A slight cracking of the skull was heard, as Clare brushed the back of her head gently with her hand, only to find that her hand was stained with the red flowing syrup of life. "Clare!" Eli shouted, plunging down the stairs to comfort the beauty that was sprawled out on the floor. Clare gazed up the stairs, only to see the blurry haze of Julia's triumphant face. "Get away from me." Clare hissed at Eli.

She got up, stumbling as she proceeded towards the door. "Are you okay?" Eli was inches away from her, trying to comfort her. "Ha! Me? Yea, I'm fine. I'm just bleeding to death." Clare glared at Eli, who wasn't at fault. But at the same time, he was at fault. Clare looked at Julia, then back at Eli. "Get away from me…" She saw her own blood dripping gradually onto the floor.

"Clare, let me help you." He was racing towards Clare, who was stumbling towards the door in a quick manner. "I don't need your help. Nor do I need Julia's." The world was becoming hazy. "Eli, I don't care if you aren't with her anymore. Because you aren't with me ether." She was whimpering emotionally, suppressing her hand to the wound on the back of her head, with pressure.

"You guys are both messed up, and I'm not gonna take it." She was blubbering. "Clare, I love you." He put his hand out to comfort her. Clare knees gave out suddenly, and she abruptly got back up in a hurry. The door and the wall spread apart as a way though was revealed "Yea Eli, I loved you too." Clare used past tense. "Bye." She slammed the door, meandering only a few blocks, plopping herself onto the curb. She was starting to feel light headed and woozy.

OoOo

"Wow, she's really emotional, you know that?" Those words oozed like goo from Julia's mouth. Eli looked up at Julia, who was at the top of the stairs, with her hands on her hips. Eli gave her an evil death look; which wrenched with pure hate.
