Summary: Sequel to Hearse; Eli and I are together now,and more drama has boiled since our relationship started, but when we're alone, pleasure is something that I expect to happen...even if it means that I must do something in return...


[C H A P T E R .12.]
H e a r t s .burst into. F i r e

"What do you want? Won't you just leave me alone?" I asked KC furiously. My anger grew more intense when I heard him snicker on the other line.

"What can possibly be funny? Why are you such an idiot?" I added.

"Listen Clare. I didn't call to argue with you. I called to apologize, you have to believe me." K.C. said. I narrowed my eyes, spitting out, "Apologize, are you serious? I stopped believing you when you cheated on me because of Jenna, used me because of Jenna, and you expect me to believe that sorry ass apology?" I was so angry that I didn't even realize what I said, K.C. became quiet on the other line.

"I mean god. LEAVE ME ALONE!" With that I hung up my phone and set it aside, a small smile of complete satisfaction complimented my pride.

.

"Okay Eli, you go ahead inside, and get what you need. I'll wait here." Helen, Clare's mom, said.

Eli nodded as he got out of the car and headed inside his house. He hoped that his father hadn't come home. Eli walked upstairs and grabbed his school bag. He searched for another bag for his sleeping clothes, extra clothes for school, his toothbrush, and other important belongings. Found it! Eli rushed downstairs and let out a sigh of relief that his father still hadn't come barging in. He climbed into Mrs. Edwards's car.

"Do you have everything?" She checked.

"Yes Mrs. Edwards. Thanks again for letting me stay the night." Eli said. Helen looked over at Eli, taking her eyes off the road for only a few seconds saying, "It's no problem at all." She smiled when he turned his head towards her. Eli returned a small smile, noticing she looked as if she wanted to say something else. But she didn't. Instead she turned her eyes back on the road and Eli turned to look out the window. Soon enough, after the quiet ride, they arrived back at the house. Eli stepped out, grabbing his school bag.

Then they both proceeded towards the front door.

.

I looked up from my laptop when I heard the door downstairs open. I closed my laptop and placed it down next to me, walking out of my room and heading downstairs.

"Oh, Clare. Honey would you put Eli's bags in my room." Mom said.

"Sure." I grabbed his things and gave Eli a look, instructing him to follow me upstairs. He gave me a kinky grin and I rolled my eyes, smiling at how perverted Eli can be. We walked upstairs and I led Eli into my mom's room.

"Nice room." He said, while looking around at his surroundings. I turned around from placing his bags next to the nightstand and stood in horror as he looked at my baby pictures and pictures of me and Darcy when we were younger.

"Who's this?" Eli asked, pointing at her.

"That's my sister Darcy." I responded and Eli moved on to stare at the picture of me as a toddler. I blinked a few times and got a little bit nervous when he turned to look at me, then back up at the picture. He said, "You haven't changed a bit Miss. Edwards." And he started to walk up to me. I blushed and hid my face, only to have him lift my chin up to look at him.

"It's so cute when you blush." Eli stated, cupping my face and rubbing his thumb back and forth over the pink hugh that tinted my cheeks. I looked up at his green eyes. My small smile faded when I looked at the bruise forming around his eye and the broken skin of his cheek and lip. I reached up and ghost my fingertips over the cuts, watching Eli's face to make sure I didn't press to hard and hurt him. My fingertips moved up to the blackened area around his eye. I left them there for a moment then dropped my hand to his shoulder.

"It looks so bad." I murmured.

"I know, but I mean it doesn't hurt anymore." Eli said, rubbing the back of his neck. I nodded and laughed saying, "Let's get out of my mom's room." Eli followed me out of the room and we walked into mine. He immediately crawled onto MY bed like he owned it, stealing my laptop.

"Hey!" I protested, sitting on the bed next to him. I attempted to grab it, but he moved away.

"I'm going to download some songs for you."

"As long as it doesn't cost me money."

"It's free Clare." Eli said. I sighed in defeat and leaned my back against the headboard, staring at him silently as I watched him work. About twenty minutes went by and Eli started to play the list of songs that he had downloaded.

"I tried to download some songs for you that weren't so...screamy." Eli said, trying to put it gently as he handed me my laptop.

"Okay." I laughed while reading the songs. He had downloaded a few songs that I hadn't heard by Paramore, some songs from Within Temptation, and some Evanescence. I really had to admit that the songs were really good, even though it wasn't really my type of music, but that was beside the point. Eli had really good taste in music. Eli scooted next to me and he watched as I surfed the web while listening to the music.

"This song is really amazing." I said.

"Which one?" He asked, listening to the song.

"Oh. Memories by Within Temptation? Yeah I like that song too."

"So Eli, now that I know that you listen to girl bands. Is there something else that I should know about?" I teased. Eli looked over at me, studying my face and licking his bottom lip.

"Okay, promise you won't laugh." Eli said.

"Um, okay. I promise I won't laugh." I said, crossing my arms across my chest and smirking at him.

"I know all the words to Love Game by Lady Gaga." As soon as Eli said this, I burst into laughter. Eli stared at me and he said, "You promised you wouldn't laugh!"

"I can't help it, but Eli really? Lady Gaga?" I said in between fits of laughter.

"Yes really, it's a funny story really. I was at home alone one day and this was like two years ago, and I got bored and people told me about her, so I decided to listen to that song. I liked the way it sounded and I decided to learn the words to it." Eli said.

"Prove it! I challenged in between fits of laughter.

"No way!" Eli exclaimed, a blush cascading his cheeks.

"Chicken." I teased as I made chicken noises and flapped my elbows like chicken wings.

"Fine." He exclaimed in defeat as he grabbed my laptop. I watched as he downloaded the song. I tried so hard not to laugh, as I prepared myself for what I was about to see. I tried to wait patently. Finally, Eli scooted away from me a bit and turned the song on. I couldn't help but to giggle quietly in anticipation as the intro started. I covered my mouth the instant Eli started to mouth the words to the songs. When he felt more comfortable he would waggle his eyebrows seductively. Or what was supposed to be seductive, making fun of himself. I laughed so hard. This continued for about three minutes before I turned the music off screaming, "Eli that's enough!" I laughed so hard that my sides started to hurt and tears streamed down my face.

"It's not that funny Clare." Eli said embarrassed. He sat himself up against the wall with his knees brought up to his chest and his arms crossed over them, pouting like a little kid. I smiled crookedly and crawled up to him, placing my chin on his knee and looking up at him with an attempted innocent look. Eli looked down at me and resisted the urge to smile. I pouted my bottom lip and said, "It is funny." I squeaked when he tackled me and immediately started to attack my sides, tickling me.

"Eli! Eli stop! Ha ha! STOP!" I screamed in between laughing.

"No." Eli laughed, squeezing my sides and making me squirm. I ended up falling off the bed. Eli started to laugh as much as I did and he said in between fits of laughter, "Are you okay?"

"What's going on in here?" We looked up to find my mother standing in the doorway. I started to laugh histericley and Eli eyed me awkwardly, but soon started laughing as well.

"Okay? Well Clare it is getting late, I think it's about time for you two be heading to bed." Mom said. I looked to see what time it was and then looked back at her.

"Mom, it's only nine."

"Yes, but Clare-

"It's okay Clare. I'm a little bit tired. I'll see you tomorrow." Eli said, interrupting my mom. I watched Eli walk out of my room and into my mom's room. My mom walked up to me and she kissed the top of my head saying, "Good night Clare."

"Night mom." My mom walked out and closed the door behind her. I heard her walk downstairs. I got up to turn the light off in my room. Then I went to change into something more comfortable. As I was walking to my bed, I noticed that my door started to open slowly. My heart stopped for a minute before I realized that it was Eli walking through the door. I sighed and he backed my body up against the wall whispering, "I forgot to give you something."

"And what is that?" I asked.

"This." Eli leaned down and his lips were crushed over mine. It wasn't an extreme make out session. It was more of a long sweet goodnight kiss. Eli pulled away and I looked up at him before he kissed me again, a quick peck this time, and walked out of my room, heading back into my mom's room. I walked back to lay on my bed. After tossing and turning for about thirty minutes, I soon fell asleep.

.

The next morning I woke up a little bit early in attempt to curl my hair before school and if I was honest with myself, before Eli got up. But since it was failing miserably, I decided to leave it slightly wavy. I walked back to my closet and quickly picked out something to wear; a pair of blue jeans, a white flowered top, and a blue sweater to go over it. I got dressed, applied a small amount of make up, and walked to my mom's room. I noticed that the light wasn't on. I slowly opened the door and took notice that Eli was still sleeping. I turned the light on, then walked around to where he was laying and shook him softly. Eli groaned and turned over to his stomach, pulling up the covers to hide under them.

"Eli. Come on get up." I said, pulling the sheets off him and shaking him softly again. Eli moaned and he turned around, his eyes slowly opened and he winced from the bright light.

"Morning Clare." He murmured while stretching.

"Morning Eli." I responded, smiling.

"Now get up." I added, while walking out of the room. Eli groaned and he rolled out of bed, lazily walked to his bag and grabbing his clothes. Eli walked into my room and headed into the shower. I blinked a few times and heard water running.

"Eli. There's a shower in my mom's bathroom." I called.

"I know." He responded. I shook my head and walked downstairs to find my mom fixing the couch. She looked back at me and smiled.

"Good morning Clare." She said.

"Morning mom." I responded.

"Is Eli awake?" She asked. I nodded and headed to the kitchen to get me something to drink. My mother sat down with me at the table, we were silent. I really hoped that Eli would hurry and come downstairs, I really don't like sitting in silence unless there's a suppressing reason for it. As if on cue, Eli walked downstairs with his bags in hand. He decided to wear black skinny jeans, a long sleeve button down grey shirt, a black tie, and a sleevless black hoodie today. I giggled when I looked at his hair which was wet of course and sticking up in certain places.

"Good morning Eli." My mom said.

"Morning Mrs. Edwards." Eli sat down next to me and he took a sip of the juice that I poured for myself. Once again we sat in silence. I cleared my throat and my mom said, "So Eli you wouldn't mind taking Clare to school would you? I have some errands that I need to run this morning."

"Oh, of course I wouldn't mind."

"Okay. Well you guys better head out now then. Clare I'll see you when you get back home." Eli and I got up. I kissed my mom goodbye before I grabbed my purse and Eli grabbed his bags and we both walked out the door.

"More time to sit in Morty." Eli smirked. I eyed him before I returned the smile. As we were driving to the school, I glanced over at Eli and I reached up and touched his blackened eyes. It pained me to see Eli like this. He looked over at me and smiled faintly. I dropped my hand. Eli grasped it and interlaced his fingers with mine. He brought my hand up to his lips and he kissed it gently.

"I love you Clare."

"I love you too Eli. Oh, I didn't tell you that K.C. called me when you guys left did I?" Eli looked over at me and shook his head.

"What did he want?" He asked, obviously trying to remain calm.

"He wanted to apologize." I responded. Eli laughed a short laugh, and said, "That's hilarious." I smiled faintly and nodded while tucking my hair behind my ear saying, "I listened to the rest of the songs last night. I really like those bands."

"Glad to know you like them." Eli flashed me a smile. Our short ride soon ended and we arrived in the Degrassi parking lot. I got out and Eli took my hand in his as we walked up the stairs and through the double doors. I headed to my locker where Adam stood as well as Alli.

"Hey guys." I said.

"Hey Clare. Just so you know. Jenna's on a rampage to find you."

"Adam!" Alli shrieked.

"What, it's better to tell her now than later. What happened to you?" Adam asked Eli.

"Why?" I asked, opening my locker.

"Because. It's been said that K.C.'s been telling her that you've been talking about her." Alli said. I looked over at Alli and blinked a few times.

"Speak of the devil." Eli muttered. I turned around to see that Jenna was walking up to me, a furious look on her face. I turned to her and she said, "Why are you talking about me Clare? I haven't done anything to you."

"Really Jenna?"

"Well. You just need to get over that. K.C. is mine now, so you need to lay off him." She put her hands on her hips and I arched my eyebrow.

"What crap is he telling you Jenna. You really can't be that stupid." I said and started to walk away. I heard Jenna mutter something along the lines of me being some sort of slut under her breath and I turned around asking, "What did you say."

"You heard me."

"Clare, she's not worth it. Let's go." Eli said.

"Yeah Clare, run off with your little emo boyfriend." Jenna mocked. That's it! I turned around and out of hatred, I slapped her so hard in the face that it echoed in the hall. Then I turned and walked away. Alli followed closely behind me, and Eli and Adam walked in a different direction since they had different classes. I walked into the media class and sat down.

"God Clare, whoever knew you were so...so angry." She said.

"What? Nobody is going to call me a slut and get away with it. I haven't even done anything sluttish." I retorted. Jenna didn't seem to realise that was the worst and most offensive thing you could call me. Alli said, "That's true. By the way...my mom told your mom that you didn't stay the night last night. I told her not to say anything, but you know my mom."

"Yeah. My mom told me, right after she told me that she knew Eli and I...well you know." I said.

"Your mom found out?" Alli questioned.

"She didn't find out, she knew already." I said, looking over at her. Alli pressed her lips to a line and she said, "Speaking of which, when are you going to talk to Simpson about the whole K.C. incident?"

"I forgot about that." I said honestly.

"Well, you need to tell him sooner or later. I'll go with you after class if you want." Alli said.

"Okay. That's fine." I said.

"You got into a fight with your dad?" Adam asked.

"Correction Adam. My dad got into a fight with me." Eli said as they walked around the basketball court of the school. They had decided to skip class since they had a sub.

"What happened next?" Adam asked, sitting down on the ground.

"I went to Clare's house and her mom insisted that I stay the night. So I stayed the night." Eli sat down next to Adam who said, "Oh more alone time with Miss. Edwards." Eli shook his head and smirked lightly.

"I only kissed her last night."

"But the night before, you guys did have sex didn't you? Clare told me she stayed the night with you the night of the dance." Adam said. Eli looked up at him and felt his face get really hot. Adam laughed, "I knew it!"

"Don't laugh at me. You're just jealous." Eli laughed. Adam playfully punched his arm.

"So what, is Clare your first or something?" Adam asked, starting a new conversation. Eli stopped laughing and he looked on the ground.

"Eli?"

"No, Clare wasn't my first." Eli responded finally after a short pause.

"Really? Are you serious? Who was?" Adam asked, getting a little too curious.

"Julia." Eli muttered.

Adam's face grew somber. "Eli. I'm so sorry. I completely forgot. I'm really really sorry."

Eli looked down awkwardly and so did Adam. Finally Eli broke the silence," It's okay dude. I know you just weren't thinking, but I feel kind of bad about it, you know?"

"What do you mean?" Adam questioned curiously.

"Two weeks ago, when we had that incident in Morty. I told her that I was a virgin and that I never gotten intimate with a girl before, well...I didn't really say it like that, but you know, she got the hint." Eli said shrugging his shoulders. Before Adam could respond to that, the bell had saved them and they quickly got up to run inside for their next class.

.

"I'm going to go put my stuff in my locker and then we can go to the Principal Simpson's office." I said to Alli and she nodded. I walked to my locker. Eli was waiting. I ran my finger down Eli's spine, causing him to turn around with a smile on his face.

"So, Eli. Alli is going with me to tell Principal Simpson about whats been happening with K.C." I said.

"Oh, do you want me to go too? I was kind of in the middle of it, and I've witnessed K.C. hurting you." Eli said.

"Same here." Adam said. I switched glances between the two and I said, "Well you two can both come too if you want." They nodded and I walked to Alli's locker and told her that we were ready to go. We walked to the office and I knocked on the door, Principal Simpson looked up and smiled, "Oh Clare."

"Morning." I walked in followed by Alli, Adam, and Eli.

"Wow, you brought everybody." He said.

"Yeah, they're all witnesses." I said.

"Okay, well let's start. What's been going on?" Principal Simpson asked.

"Well. It started about two or three days ago. I was out in the park and K.C. was there. He wanted to talk to me, and well I refused and he grabbed me and I tried struggling and well his grip caused my wrists to bruise, Adam and Eli came in before he could do anything more. The night of the dance. He wanted to talk to me again, only this time K.C. got more aggressive, which caused Eli to get hurt, while fighting to protect me," The principal looked over at Eli; he noticed the bruising on his face, the broken skin on his cheek, and his busted lip. Anyone could tell he figured KC had done that. I continued, "Now ever since then, K.C. won't leave me alone. He's been telling his girlfriend stuff that isn't true, and he's been making it out to be like I'm the one that's been coming on to him."

Principal Simpson nodded his head towards me and he said, "Well. Thank you for telling me. I'll call K.C. in and hear his side of the story. " I nodded and we all got up to leave.

"Do you think anything's going to happen?" Adam asked.

"I don't know." I muttered.

"Something better happen to him, other wise I'd get really pissed off." Eli said.

"He has to, I'm pretty sure he noticed the bruising on your face." Alli said, pointing at him. I wanted to say something about that, but I looked up at Eli and he shook his head. I licked the corner of my mouth, and Adam said, "Well, looks like K.C. just got pulled out of class." We all turned around and watched him walk into the office before he stopped and glanced at me, giving me a wide smirk.

End of Chapter 12


I have to apologize for this chapter, because I know it wasn't great. I was really distracted when I was typing it, but fear not, the next chapter will be better. I know I say that all the time, but, ha ha, I promise you it will! Leave me a review and tell me what you think!

In other words...
