Clare POV

"I have something to tell you and I'm not sure your going to like it."

"What, uhm what exactly do you mean?"

"Well, I mean" he was rubbing the back of his head he always did that when he was uncomfortable.

"Eli just, just tell me please." I was getting really nervous and agitated.

"OK well after I left your house"

"Right?" I didn't like the way this sounded.

"I didn't come exactly home."

"OK where did you go?" I was hoping it wasn't to where I thought it was.

"I went to see Imogen."

I jumped up. "You did what?"

"Wait before you overreact let me…" I cut him off.

"Overreact are you fucking kidding me… you run to Imogen as soon as something happens, something that wasn't even my fault." I was furious.

"Clare nothing…." I cut him off once again.

"Don't you dare sit there and tell me nothing happened, we all know what happens every time you two are together."

Eli POV

I couldn't believe what I was hearing was she honestly accusing me of cheating on her with Imogen? All did was go see her, I talked to her and she reassured me that even though she hated Clare, she was positive that Clare and Jake did not do anything.

I was getting really frustrated and I was about to blow up. I wasn't even paying attention to what Clare was saying all I could hear was her voice rising.

"CLARE WOULD YOU PLEASE SHUT THE HELL UP AND LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY." Soon everything was quiet and Clare was shocked at my outburst. She sat back down on the bed.

"Clare I went over to Imogene's with no intention to cheat on you, and I kept my intentions. We discussed the situation and even though she hates you, she was positive that you and Jake did not do anything, under your will."

Clare's expression changed to a sorrowful expression.

"Eli I'm sorry I didn't mean to jump to conclusions, its just you know I don't like Imogen as much as you don't like Jake."

"I know but at the time, that is the only person I could think of to talk to."

She grabbed my hand and I smiled at her.

"We need to make a promise to each other okay?" Clare asked me.

"Alright."

"We need to promise that we will always be there for each other whenever we need one another, and forever will love each other. Promise?"

I smiled I liked the promise it was similar to one we had made before but this time it seemed more sincere.

"I promise. "

"Me too. I love you" she leaned in and hugged me.

"I love you too Clare."

Clare spent the night; we didn't do anything just cuddled, which was nice. Sometimes something so simple feels so right.

Clare POV

I loved sleeping over at Eli's. I felt right at home. But of course when I woke up I had to go back to my real home, which sucked.

After my lovely carefree night I woke up and went to my actual home. When I opened the door I found my mom in the kitchen cooking and singing. She had been in a good mood lately, which was great since after her and my dad got a divorce she had been such a drag.

"Clare great your home, I have some news for you."

"Ok great what's up?"

"Uhm hun you might want to sit down for this."

"Uhhhm ok?" I sat down at the barstool. "What's going on?"

"Well you know I've been dating right?" she asked me. I figured she was but I never confirmed it with her.

"Yes?" I responded questionable still unsure of my answer.

"Well it's become pretty serious and he is coming over for dinner tonight and I want you to be here to meet him ok."

As soon as my mom said that my face dropped. I wasn't expecting her and my dad to get back together but I was expecting them to move on so quickly especially my mom. I nodded in compliance but wasn't sure I could face this alone.

"Do you think Eli could come as well?" I discreetly begged her.

"I'm not sure that's a good idea Clare." My mom wasn't a big fan of Eli.

"Oh alright well what time is dinner?" I asked her.

"7:00 ish "

"Ok ill be back"

"But you just" I cut her off with the slamming of the door. I was most definitely not looking forward to dinner.

OK I KNOW THIS CHAPTER SUCKED BUT ITS GOING TO GET BETTER I PROMISE YOU GUYS OK SORRY
