Natalie POV:

I got home and as soon as I walked through the door, my parents started yelling at me.

"What were you thinking?" My mom yelled.

"Huh?" I said.

"You're 15, you not supposed to be having sex!" she practically screamed.

"Whatever," I didn't have the patience to deal with that right now.

I went up to my room and laid on my bed, and listened to my music on full blast, I knew that it could be heard throughout the house, but I really didn't care at this point.

I just couldn't believe that Mark would just rat me out like that. I mean we have this general understanding that everything stays between us, but I guess things have obviously changed.

.

.

A week all ready passed by and I spent most days in my room. Occasionally, Clare and Adam would come over, but never Eli. Today Clare was over, trying to convince me to leave the house.

"Wow, you and Eli are acting so stubborn."

I said nothing.

"You should really just talk to him,"

"I have nothing to say to him, he made his decision,"

"You know he loves you,"

"Really? I can't tell."

"At least try to be friends again,"

I shook my head at that.

"C'mon, we are going to Eli's house and you two are going to work this out."

Before I could protest, she pulled me out of bed, down the stairs and out the door. Eli's house was only a few streets away from mine. Clare was pulling me the whole way. We got to his house; I sat on the front steps while Clare knocked on the door. I the door open, but didn't turn around.

"Oh hey Clare," Eli said with no emotion.

"You two need to fix this!"

"I was brought here against my will," I said still not turning around.

"You guys should come in, it's freezing out here."

"Hey guys!" Adam said.

"Adam, we should go downstairs…." Clare said.

"NO!" I said. I rolled my eyes, "Fine, go,"

So Eli and I were left alone in his room.

"What's been up with you? First you get mad at me for no reason, talking back to Miss Dawes, getting your tongue piercing? What the hell is wrong with you?"

"I just…..I don't know. I know I overreacted with the Julia, I've just kind of been in my own little world lately."

"Well come back to this one," He said smirking, "Why did you give me back the stuff I gave you?"

"That's what happens when couples break up."

"I didn't know we broke up," he said, hurt.

"In the Zen garden, you said 'I'm done' "

"That didn't mean that we were done, you took it the wrong way. I want to be with you" He said.

All I could do is smile, he walked over to his nightstand and picked up a few items, he came and sat next to me. One by one be put the jewelry he gave me where they belonged. Finally he slipped his ring around my finger.

"Let's not fight anymore, okay?" He said.

"Agreed."
