Long Chapter :D
I ran up to Adam's house, despite being told that Clare was on a plane to Kenya. I knocked on his door loud; Adam opened it in record timing, and eyed me weird.
"Why are you out of breath?"
I shrugged, "Nerves I guess, Clare is seriously on her way to Kenya? I thought maybe this was a joke of yours…"
Adam frowned, "I'm not that mean, Eli."
"This has to be a trick. Her parents don't want us together. They are trying to get her away from me."
"Or her sister is just sick…" Adam said softly, placing a hand on my shoulder.
I nodded, and Adam gestured for me to join him in his house. I walked over to his couch and slumped down.
With a sigh I started to whine, "What am I going to do while she's gone? I don't even know when she will be back, if she comes back."
Adam spared me a smile, "I do have tons of video games and comics."
I chuckled, "Where should we start?"
He raised his eye brow at me, "I just picked up Black Ops, and multiplayer is split screen."
"Let's do it."
We played for hours. The only recollection of time was when Drew came home after practice.
"I see that you two didn't go to school."
Adam waved his hand around and mumbled, "Yeah, yeah."
Drew laughed and disappeared upstairs. A few more hours passed and my stomach started to growl.
Adam looked at me and smiled, "Hungry Eli?"
"I haven't eaten all day." I rubbed my stomach.
Adam laughed and turned off the system; he got up and went to kitchen, "Is left over pizza okay?"
My phone started vibrating, "Sounds perfect." I reached into my pocket and pulled out my phone. It wasn't a number I recognized so I shrugged it off. I made my way to the kitchen, and took a seat next to Adam who already started heating up the pizza. I reached into my pocket when it started vibrating again. It was a voicemail; I dialed it and went through the same stupid actions the robot lady tells me to do every time. Finally I was greeted by Clare's sweet voice. "Eli, my phone doesn't work here in Kenya. I don't know when I'll be home; my parents have yet to inform me of that bit of information. I hope I get home soon. I love you and I miss you." The line went dead and I felt sad.
Adam was up getting the pizza; he sat my plate in front of me and proceeded to sit in his earlier seat. "Everything okay?" He asked before taking a bite.
I sighed, and shook my head; "She doesn't know when she will be back."
After swallowing he patted my shoulder, "Don't worry, we can play video games every night 'till she gets back." He gave me a chuckle, and continued to eat. I ate my food and we went back into the living room and played a few rounds taking turns with Drew. When their mom came home I was asked to leave. I made my way to the door and said my good-byes. When I was alone in my hearse it really started hurting that she was so far away.
….
"Mom?" I asked softly.
"Yes Clare?" She looked at me.
"How long are we planning on staying?"
"I didn't want to be gone long, but we will stay until we know what is wrong with Darcy." She was frowning a bit.
I nodded and pulled the covers over me as I lay down. My eyes got heavy and dreams of Eli soon clouded my head.
…..
I sighed heavily, and slammed my hand a little too hard on my English desk. "Something wrong, Eli?" Ms. Dawes asked.
I mumbled a no and put my head down. I couldn't even think with Clare gone. I was trying to finish this stupid paper, and all I could think about was whether I would see her again. The whole day went by slow, and every class was just as hard to concentrate in.
I was sitting at my locker at the end of the day; I didn't know what I was doing later so I waited to see if Adam would come by my locker. As if on cue, Adam strolled towards me.
"Coming over?"
"You sure you're not going to get sick of me?"
He chuckled, "I love you, bro. I couldn't get sick of you that quickly, give me a few days."
I laughed and proceeded to walk out the doors towards Morty, with Adam next to me. He got in and off we drove.
…
The heat was bad here. I don't know how Darcy stands it. I sighed and followed my parents into the facility Darce was being held in. After following a few different people to get to her we reached her room. I didn't expect her to look as bad as she did. She was very pale, her eyes looked dull. My heart dropped, and tears welled up in my eyes. I ran over to her and grabbed her hand and started to ramble, "Darce, are you okay? That was dumb to ask, are you going to be okay? Speak please."
A tear rolled down her cheek and I lost it. I was balling. I stared at my mom, "What's wrong with her?"
Darcy's voice cracked, "I caught malaria. Lots of throwing up, I have had a few seizures and lots of muscle pain."
"Can it be treated?"
"They're trying to treat it, it's bad." She started to heave, I backed up; she grabbed a bucket and threw up.
The doctor walked in at that moment, "I'm sorry to do this but you will have to leave right now, time for some more treatments. She will not be allowed to have visitors for a few days."
"But why?" I whined.
"She is too sick right now." He sternly said.
I sighed and followed my parents out. After we we're out of the hospital, I said softly to no-one in particular "Guess I won't be seeing Toronto anytime soon."
Mom gave me a kiss on the cheek and Dad patted my shoulder. They walked ahead of me, Mom's hand tracing her pregnant stomach, holding dad's hand.
….
The weekend was here and I was feeling a bit better without Clare; Adam was a great distraction. We had managed to finish the entire campaign, and prestige twice each. We walked into his house Friday after school and to our surprise his parents were in the living room watching TV.
"No Xbox for us today, eh?" Adam laughed, directing the question to his parents.
"You guys can go one day without it right, I'm sure you guys can figure something else to do." She smiled at us, Adam gestured for me to follow him. We went up to his room and we plopped onto his bed.
"So, what shall we do?" He asked.
"We can watch a movie or something?"
"Sure, what do you have in mind?"
I thought for a minute, "Surprise me."
He got up and went to his stack of movies; he grabbed one and put it in. We stretched out on his bed and relaxed as Ninja Assassin began to play. I was really warm from his body being so close; I pulled off the hoodie I had on and rested back down. After at least ten deaths we started talking during it, saying how we wish we could move like they did.
Adam laughed, "If we had moves like that Fitz could have never cornered you."
"He would have been in three slices before he even pulled the knife out." I chuckled, "Thanks again man for keeping me company, it has really helped."
"No problem, your fun to hang out with." I felt butterflies in my stomach. I was extremely confused by my stomachs sudden change in feeling. I shook my head; Clare's been gone too long.
"You are too." I ignored the feeling in my stomach. Adam turned towards me and gave me a smile; I felt heat rush up my neck. I had memories of the kiss we shared; it was only arousing because his techniques we're so close to Clare's. Snap out of It Eli.
I was deep in thoughts when Adam began to speak, "Are you okay, Eli. You look a little flushed." I turned towards the TV, nodded, and proceeded to watch the movie.
We finished the movie, and it was only five in the afternoon. I sighed when he asked what we should do next. I shrugged, "Movie marathon. We have a whole night ahead of us."
He laughed and said sure. I got to pick the next movie; I decided on Saw VI. It was the only saw I haven't seen. We rested back on the bed. Adam leaned over me to grab the remote because this movie was quieter than the other. When he was pulling back his arm brushed against my jeans. My dick twitched instantly. What is wrong with me today? I'm not one to get awkward, thankfully.
I figured it must be because I'm so use to being Clare so much, my body is just reacting weird. I could feel his body heat next to mine and his shoulder brushed mine. My brain let the thoughts of the kiss in my head again. I was getting hard.
"Are you not use to being without intimacy?" I shook my head and looked at Adam confused at his random question.
He motioned towards my jeans; I looked down to see how tight they were around my new bulge. "Oh, oops." I blushed, now embarrassed that he saw that.
"You're cute when you blush."
I picked my head up sharply and looked at him; staring into his eyes.
"Did I just say that aloud?" He asked softly.
I nodded, are eyes never breaking contact. Adam leaned up and his lips brushed mine; I was still at first, then I started to kiss him back. My fingers raked into his hair, and I pulled softly. He moaned softly into my mouth. His hands roamed my body; starting from my shoulders, down my chest and stomach, over my thighs. "You're so sexy, Eli." My pants grew tighter and reality hit me. I disentangled myself from him. We both blushed and looked away. "I think I should go home."
"Sorry, Eli."
"No, No. Don't be sorry." I opened his door, and I walked down the stairs and out of his house. I was all types of confused.
So…what do you think?
