Warning: TOO MUCH DRAMA BRO.

Clare's Point of View:

I watched as Eli stiffen at my words. His eyes were intent on his drink, his hands gripping the cup tightly.

I quickly placed my hand over his own, prying his fingers off the cup, he flinched at my touch and looked at me.

"Sorry." I mumbled, pulling my hands back into my lap, Eli smiled slightly.

"No.. its okay. You have soft hands, you know." Eli complimented me. I half smiled and nodded.

"Thanks. Lotion helps." I added.

There was a bout of silence between us, or maybe he was afraid to talk to me due to my possible pink cheeks or maybe I was too forward with asking about Adam."I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked about, Adam. That was rude." I said softly. Eli shook his head.

"No, its just that.. I can't talk about, Adam without thinking of what he.." Eli paused to collect his possible sad thoughts, ".. He did to himself. I can't see him the same, the way he use to be, all I ever think of is that damn suicide note." Eli grumbled. I nodded.

"I know about the note.. You showed me the night of Sav's party." I said, Eli sprung his head up and groaned.

"Ugh. Great. And that was a really personal letter too. Fuck." Eli cursed. I sighed.

"I'm sorry, but you told me that you memorized it and told it to me. I probably don't even remember what the letter even said." I lied.

Of course I remembered what that letter said, it was burned into my mind. Adam Torres' suicide letter was burned into my mind and I didn't even know him.

"Am.. Am I the only one who knows..? You know about Adam's suicide letter and Julia?" I whispered.

"You know about Julia?" Eli half whispered, half shouted. I quickly shushed him as people started looking over at us.

"Yes. You told me everything , Eli. Everything. Now tell me, am I the only one who knows?" I asked again. Eli sighed and ran a free hand through his dark thick hair.

"No, Drew knows too. I never told him though, he found out at an incontinent time, and probably Darcy is gonna find out since she's onto me about my bruises. Only Adam knew about Julia. I never told, Drew." Eli murmured.

"Why not?" I pressed. Eli shrugged.

"He's not really my friend, Clare. He's just.. A pretend friend." Eli said. I sighed and looked at a picture of a flower on the wall.

"You need real friends, Eli." I murmured. Eli scoffed.

"I'll never have real friends. What even is a friend? A person to talk to between classes? A person to talk to when you have no one else? A person to drag to lunch with? Friends aren't real, Clare. I only knew one friend.. Adam. And he was taken away from me. So.. I don't believe in friends." Eli hissed. I flinched at his incredibly true words.

I watched as a guy walked by and accidentally bumped into Eli's chair, pushing Eli forward and he suddenly screamed out in pain, clutching at his ribcage. I flung myself towards him and kneeled down by him.

"Eli! What's wrong? What hurts?" I exclaimed, my arm around his shoulders. Eli looked at me through his dark bangs. "Just.. Just my chest. Rough time playing football with Drew. He really pummeled me." Eli lied badly. I shook my head at his lie and whispered lowly.

"Did your dad do this to you?" Eli looked down and took in a deep breath of air.

"Maybe I deserved it, Clare." Eli whispered, I looked into his emerald eyes to see that he was on the verge of crying his eyes out.

"Eli, you know that you don't deserve this kind of pain, or any pain at all." I whispered, Eli looked up at me with the most pained eyes I had ever seen.

"Now, since we're here why don't we get those ribs checked out? I'm pretty sure they are broken and they'll probably take a while to heal if you don't get them checked out soon." I observed, Eli's eyes quickly turned into panic.

"No. Clare I can't. My dad, he'll find out someway and then the doctors are gonna ask why this happened and they won't believe me. It'll be a big mess. Please don't." Eli begged. I sighed and nodded."Alright alright. I'll just find you an icepack, at least that will cause some pain to go away." I advised, Eli nodded.

I grabbed his hand without realizing what I was doing and pulled him along to find a hospital room.

Drew's Point of View:

"No. You see, Drew. I have a reason to be here. I'm Fiona's best friend and I care a lot about her. I have no idea why you are even here. You don't even care about her." Alli spat.

I didn't have anything to even say to her, I had no clue what to even say.

"Why are you so scared to tell, Alli how you really feel about, Fi, Drew? What is there to lose? Just tell Alli." The Adam voice hissed in my ear. I growled.

"Would you just leave already? You're not even freaking real!" I shouted annoyed, some nurses craned their necks over the counters to see me shouting.

"Uhm. I'm not going to leave here and I am real." Alli said confused. I snarled under my breath at her confusement.

I heard the Adam voice chuckle in my ear,

"Haha, now she thinks you're crazy, dude. Nice going, Drewski. Nice going." The Adam voice said.

I sighed and sat up straight, looking straight ahead, trying to ignore, Alli and "Adam".

"Hah. I remember those time when you were so confused and didn't know who you liked." The Adam voice chuckled, then his voice suddenly pitched deeper to mock mine.

"'Adaaaaaam. Brooooooo. I don't know who I like man! Alli is so nice and funny and wonderful and not to mention smoking hot, but Fiona.. She's something special man!'" The Adam voice returned to his regular tone. "You were so stupid man. You didn't have to tell me about that, I was on a break with Fiona and that pretty much screwed shit up." The Adam Voice groaned.

I growled deeply and found myself very frustrated.

"UGH! I never liked, Fiona!" I exclaimed.

"Uhm.. Nice to know?" Alli murmured confused. "Who are you talking to anyway?" Alli asked, looking at me like I had gone crazy and needed help.

"I need some air." I gasped as I ran out of the waiting room and into the fresh air, wanting it to engulf me whole.

"Why do you always do that with, Alli? You love her and it seems like you don't do anything to be with her, man. It makes you look pathetic to be chasing after Alli secretly, but to never do anything about it makes you look stupid." The Adam voice scolded.

"JUST GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME! WHY ARE YOU EVEN STALKING ME?" I screamed.

After some birds squawked and flew away, I looked around to see that I was alone and I listened intently, to hear that "Adam" had left.

But I had been wrong, as always.

"Is that what people call looking after loved ones nowadays? Stalking? Nice vocabulary there, Drew. Makes me feel special." The Adam Voice said sarcastically.

"Why don't you go "watch over" Eli or something? Don't go after me." I advised.

I heard the Adam Voice laugh.

"I do watch over, Eli. Almost always when I'm not with you. But Eli never hears me like you do. Must be Eli's mind so filled with Clare or Jenna. Ugh. I do hope he chooses the one with the awful 70's hair, Clare. Jenna is just bleh." The Adam voice commented. I rolled my eyes at his commentary.

"Nice to know, Adam. Just try to get Eli to hear you then and then leave me alone." I scoffed. "I hate being haunted. Its creepy." I murmured."God. Stop being such an douche hat. You may have a pretty face and have Alli wanting you, but that doesn't mean you can be an asshat. Fuck off, Drew." The Adam Voice sneered.

Then like magic, it disappeared.

Clare's Point of View:

I found myself sitting in an unused hospital room with Eli. He was laying on the little cot with a icepack held against his bare chest.

I tried my hardest not to stare at his stomach either, but with a small peek, I saw his little four pack there, but he wasn't in the best of shape.

Something about that made me smile like a stupid idiot.

"Hey.. Thanks for staying and all." Eli murmured from his spot on the cot. I nodded."Its no problem." I replied.

The silence was eating at me, that and the fact that I wasn't sure if Fiona was even okay.

I took this free time to go see if she was.

"I'm gonna go back out to the waiting room and ask, Alli if Fiona is okay. Okay?" I told Eli. Eli merely hummed to tell me that he was okay with that.

I dashed from the room quickly, shutting the door behind me and walked quickly down the hall, weaving past doctors and nurses, I pushed open the heavy metal door leading to the waiting room to see Alli sitting there alone.

"Well its about damn time." Alli said as she saw me enter the waiting room. I approached her and smiled a bit.

"Sorry. Who knew the cafeteria had such long food lines?" I lied, adding a giggle to make it seem truthful, but of course Alli didn't buy it.

"Uh huh. Sureeee. And where happens to be Eli? You know, the lanky gothic asshole who hates you and you happen to hate back?" Alli wondered with sarcasm.

I sighed and rolled my eyes.

"You know, he isn't that bad once you get to know him. He's actually.. Pretty different." I said, defending Eli. Alli groaned.

"Oh God, please tell me that you are not falling for his trap?"

I looked at her confused,

"What trap?" I asked.

"Only the one that most girls fall for. His boyish hair and his lopsided smirk and his "winning" personality wins them over. He uses them and then throws them out like trash. He's with, Jenna, Clare. Jenna! Of all people! Once KC finds out, all hell with break loose, school cliques will shift badly."

I sighed,

"I realize that, Alli. But I don't like Eli like that. Also, he can be with Jenna if he wants too, its his choice, Alli. I really don't care." I lied smoothly. Alli cocked her head to the side and sighed."I'm just warning you, Clare. I don't wanna see you get hurt like many others have. Eli Goldsworthy is not worth any of the pain of heartbreak." Alli said.

"And you know all of this how? Did you hook up with, Eli?" I asked curiously, jealously panging me early if they ever did hook up.

Alli made a disgusted face,

"Oh God no. Gross. Never. Ugh." Alli said with a scrunched up face. "His hair is so.. Greasy. Its gross, Clare. And his mouth isn't even cute like everyone says. Ugh. The boy is not attractive one bit." I held my hands up.

"Okay okay." I chuckled. "I get it now."

I looked around the waiting room, expecting to see Drew sitting down, but he wasn't there."Where's Drew?" I asked, still looking around. Alli shrugged and looked at the door."Who even cares?" Alli said. "He's probably doing some drugs, smoking weed or maybe shooting up some heroin. Whatever he has these days." Alli said with a disgusted face.

I stayed with Alli for a few more minutes until I said I had to use the bathroom, I left the waiting room and was about to go into Eli's room, when I heard talking inside.

I could see through the small crack, that Eli had his phone out, and it was on speaker.

"I have no fucking clue where you've been the past three days, but your mother left and now you've been gone too. I am PISSED, Elijah. Expect the absolute worst when you get home, Eli. Oh yeah, you'll get the worst. You'll get the worst for your mother leaving and YOU leaving. You can either come home on your own or I can call the police to bring you home. Whichever is easier for you. Take you pick."

I gulped at the voicemail, most likely it being left by Eli's father, I walked inside to see Eli closing his phone and shoving it in his pocket.

"Where have you been staying for the past three days?" I asked as I walked in, Eli looked up at me and responded,

"I've been at Jenna's. She lives alone you know."

"..and the only reason you've been at her house was because of you not being able to handle me and Darcy and Helen and you don't wanna go home.." I trailed off and looked up at Eli, who shrugged.

"I happen to like, Jenna, Clare. A lot. If KC wasn't dating her, I would. Is it such a crime to stay at her house?" Eli questioned.

"Yeah it is. Since you don't like her. You're just using her to feel good. Which is messed up." I commented, crossing my arms across my chest.

Eli stood up and clapped his hands."Good for you, Clare. You've got me all figured out. You know all of this asshole's secrets. What do you want now? A cookie for a good job?" Eli said sarcastically, I sighed.

"I just wanna help." I whispered. Eli scoffed.

"Well don't. Just pretend that what happened with the earthquake and this little stunt with the icepack didn't happen. It never happened." Eli said before brushing past me to get out of the room.

And I was once again left alone by, Eli.

It seemed like this was happening more and more frequently.

The next day at school, the trophy case had been fixed and the blood had been cleaned, yet people still didn't wanna walk across the floor that Fiona almost bled to death on, it seemed disrespectful and creepy in a way.

"Did they say anything about, Fiona?" I heard Drew say in my ear lowly, I quickly turned around to see a very red eyed Drew in front of me. I shook my head.

"No. No new news." I whispered, pressing my books against my chest as I closed my locker. "Well.. Can you keep me up to date, I have no idea when I'll be able to see Fiona again." Drew said in a hushed tone, I nodded. "Of course, Drew." I agreed.

Drew nodded before walking away.

Now here I was again, holding more secrets.

Eli's Point of View:

"So I was thinking that after you come home from hanging out with KC, me and you can.." I didn't listen to Jenna ramble as we were hanging out against my locker, I had my eyes focused on Clare who was walking by, with her books against her chest tightly as she walked to English.

I saw as Jenna turned around and looked in my direction and she was basically filled with green envy.

"Ugh, why are you so obsessed with that girl? First you rescue her from a concussion and now you're staring at her! Why?" Jenna exclaimed.

I didn't even answer, Jenna. I was still watching Clare walk by, she was wearing her denim jacket over her floral shirt and she was wearing a flowery bow in her hair.

Goddammit she was so cute.

Soon I felt a sharp slap on my arm and I looked to see a angry Jenna in front of me.

"Eli!" Jenna exclaimed.

I shook my head and quickly said what I always said when I didn't listen to her.

"Yeah. Of course. See you and KC at lunch." without even thinking about it, I bent down and hoping that no one saw me kiss, Jenna on the lips before walking off in Clare's direction, but halfway there I felt a hand on my arm turn me around.

I found myself face to face with Darcy."Eli? Can we talk about what happened the other day?" Darcy asked, her eyes holding sympathy.

I paused before answering,

"Sure. Go and leave here before Principal Simpson catches you in here without a visitors pass." I quickly said. Darcy nodded."Yeah, but before you go. I wanted to ask you something." Darcy said. I sighed and looked back to see that Clare was already out of sight.

"Yeah, make it quick." I mumbled.

"Do you want to come back and stay with me and Clare again? Helen and I are worried you and Clare.. I think she's worried too."
