:D :D :D Sorry, this is a short chapter, reviews make me update sooner! :D :D :D

ELI'S POV:

I sighed crouching down to examine my destroyed tires. I have one spare tire. And it's going to take forever to change all four when I get more tires. My phone started ringing. It was Clare.

"Hey…" I answered.

"I'm in Hamilton. At 56th St. and N Chapman Dr."

"Great! So now we know where you are, but how are we going to get there?"

"Your car?" she replied, with a tone that was intended to say 'duh!'.

"Fitz slashed my tires!"

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah, this is NOT the end of this."

"I'll call my parents, let 'em know what happened."

"You can't!" I exclaimed. "They'll totally overreact!"

"Then what are we gonna do?" she asked.

"Isn't there an auto shop down the street? They sell tires there."

"We went over this this morning, I'm broke!"

"Right. Well, figure something out, and in 45 minutes, I'm calling my parents."

"Fine, I'll work something out."

CLARE's POV:

Fitz slashed Eli's tires? What kind of person does that? This was inexcusable. I give Eli permission to beat the crap out of him.

I wandered around trying to decide what to do and I settled upon a coffee shop. I ordered a white-chocolate mocha and sat down occasionally checking the time on my phone. 20 more minutes and I can call my parents and ask them to pick me up. But maybe Eli's right, maybe they will totally overreact, perhaps I could call a taxi or ride the bus. My phone started ringing. I stared down at the caller ID, shocked. Why did I even have their number in my phone?

Reluctantly, I picked it up. "What do you want?" I scoffed.

"I feel bad, I know I crossed a serious line with what I did to you."

"You mean what you did to Eli, and what your friend did to me."

"Yeah, but I payed Luke to kidnap you, so it was technically me."

"But Luke agreed to it!"

"So?"

"You DO realize I could press charges against you

AND Luke for kidnapping me, right?"

"You have no proof of that! You could have gone with him voluntarily to Hamilton."

"But I didn't!"

"Tell it to the judge!"

"Well maybe I will!"

"Okay, look I wanted to apologize, I know I crossed a line, that was uncalled for. I just wanted to freak you and Eli out a bit. I'm sorry."

"You went through all that trouble just to scare us?"

"Yeah, I guess."

"Well to be honest, I have ways of getting home!"

"Like what?"

"Like my parents!"

"You really want to get them involved?"

"I don't know, I could call a taxi!"

"I'll come get you!"

"Why?"

"Because it's free for you, and it'll give me a chance to make up for being such an asshole!"

"Fine." I agreed. Even though I knew this wouldn't be enough to make up for it. But I needed a ride home. And since this was free, and didn't involve my parents, why not?
But something told me this was a bad idea. But he said he's sorry, and he sounded guilty. What could go wrong?

Sorry this chapter's so short, I'm out of ideas, and I felt bad for not publishing for a couple of days, so I went ahead and posted what I already had. Please review, I need ideas! Also, I'm going to continue writing, but should I continue this story in a sequel, or just keep going off of this one? Review and tell me! :D :D :D Reviews make me happy, me being happy means I update sooner! :D :D :D
