Res Ch. 11

Eli's POV

After I dropped Clare off at her house I went home. I walked in to see my mom eating and watching TV.

"How come your not eating with Thomas?" I said coldly as I walked up the stairs

"He's not here. He's at Toronto University." she said not taking her eyes off the TV

"What's he's doing there?" I asked stopping in my tracks

"Visiting his friend. Umm Mike? Wait no no it's Mickey."

I pulled my phone and dialed Mickey's number.

"It's the mouse." he answered

"Mickey! Where's Minnie?" I asked

"Dude what the hell is wrong with your brother? I was taking Minnie's stuff and then she ran away and next thing I know your broseph has her pinned against a wall! I pulled him off and told her to leave."

"When was this cause I just got home and he's not here."

"Like an hour ago." he said

"Is she okay?"

"She's sleepin now but she was really freaked out."

"Okay just keep an eye out on her."

"Sure thing. Later dude."

I hung up.

Clare's POV

I walked into my house light headed. You'd think since Eli and I have been going out for almost a year that I'd be used to this feeling. I walked past the garage but stopped when I heard my dad.

"No she went out to dinner with a friend." he paused "No Clare will be back soon." another pause "Okay that's a good idea. Okay I'm on my way. Bye."

I ran into the kitchen and grabbed an apple and hopped on the counter and pulling out my phone looking casual.

"Oh Clare-bear. How long have you been here?" he asked walking into the kitchen with a surprised look

A while now. My turn. Who was that you were on the phone with?

"I just got here." I lied

"Oh well since money is a little tight, I'm taking an extra shift." he said

"Oh? How long will you be gone?" I asked

"I can't say for sure, but tell your mom when she gets home.

I nodded. He walked over and kissed the top of my head and left.

He's lying. How do I know he's lying? He forgot his uniform

Mickey's POV

I hung up and looked at Minnie. She was clutching a pig stuffed animal. She looked so cute. My phone rang again.

"Hello?" I answered not looking away

"Hey man! Where are you? The party started! And everyone knows the party isn't fun without "The Mouse Trap"!"

Doug yelled over the music. I can't leave Minnie all by herself. And I really wasn't in the partying mood.

"No man. I can't make it. I gotta pull up my grade." I hung up before he could respond

I walked over and rubbed Minnie's stomach. That's when I felt it. A little kick. My heart pounded. Then Minnie's phone lit up. I walked over and checked the I.D. Adam Torres. I walked away ignoring it. I turned off the light and laid on the mattress that was lying on the floor. Goodnight my babies.

Thomas's POV

I parked my Camero in the driveway and got out.

I opened the door and was pushed up against the wall.

"Listen you lunatic stay the hell away from Minnie! Aside fro being a preggo teen her life is fine and I'm not gonna let you fuck it up again!" he harshly whispered since our mom was right in the other room

He glared at me before walking up stairs.

"Eli get down here." mom said

I heard Eli groan loudly and say "what" in an irritated tone

"I heard all of that. You two our brothers and I want all loving family."

She grabbed a bag along with her purse and walked past us to the front door.

"I'll be staying with a friend tonight and I want you two to get along! I'll be back by tomorrow afternoon."

And with that she left.

I looked over at Eli.

"Don't talk to me, don't go in the same room that I'm in and we won't have a problem." he said walking up stairs and closing his door.

I walked upstairs and heard Eli's stereo blasting. I went to my room and took a shower. I got out and pulled on a gray shirt and blue flannel pants. I looked at myself in the mirror. I need a hair cut. It looks way to similar to Eli's or maybe I'll keep it like this so it'll irritate him.

I heard the doorbell ring. I walked downstairs to the front door shaking my shaggy, wet hair. I opened the door and something hugged me. Oh wait someone. Short curly auburn hair. She smelled like strawberries. I felt something soaking my shirt. Tears.

"Oh Eli it's awful." the girl said

I'm not Eli, I started to say

But for you I'll be whoever you want me to be.
