Hey everybody! Thanks for the reviews :D and thanks for not killing me for how I ended Chapter 13. But here's Chapter 14. Hope you like it! READ, ENJOY, and REVIEW!

[AUTHOR NOTE: I had a little bit of writers block and Halo helped inspire me a little.]

Cece stormed into Eli's room. "Eli! You need to get out of the house! All you do is get home from school and crawl into bed!"

Eli said no words just pulled his covers up further.

"That's it." She yanked his covers off. "You are going to the station with your father today."

Eli sulked in the office as his father, Bullfrog was doing the radio show. He continually spun his phone on the table hopelessly wishing she would call. His hair was a mess, he was dressed in a band shirt and sweats. Didn't even bother to put on his necklace or bracelet or any of his rings. He looked as if he hadn't slept for days. He looked destroyed, miserable. He missed Clare. Every time he would try to call her, she wouldn't answer. He'd text her, she wouldn't reply. Instant message or video chat, she'd get off line immediately. He didn't understand. He knew what she said was true. But the one thing that got him was that it was just out of the blue like that.

Bullfrog entered the room chugging down a coffee. He glanced at Eli, looking at the sad expression on his face. Bullfrog sighed remembering Cece telling him to talk to Eli and figure out what is wrong. He walked up to the table, "So… son… How are things?" Eli gave him a death glare. Bullfrog sat down across from him. "That's it. You know what I'm doing. You're mom wants to know what's wrong. And she thinks you'll talk to me, son to father."

Eli sighed. "Fine. Clare broke up with me." Eli had a mix of anger and sorrow in his voice.

"Oh. Eli. I'm sorry. Do you know why?"

He blinked back his tears, as he opened his phone where his screensaver was a picture of Clare. "She said she can't handle being with me anymore. Everything bad showed up when I came into her life."

"That's not tru-"

"Are you kidding? I deserve worse than this. She's right. I'm no good for her." Eli snapped back.

"Is this about that whole bully thing? When that kid cornered you guys with a knife at the dance last year?" Bullfrog asked.

Eli looked down. "Let's just say it has gotten worse." Bullfrog didn't speak. Eli got up. "I'm going to meet up with Adam okay? I'll be home for dinner." And he was out the door without even a reliance.

Eli got to Adam's, he slowly got the strength to knock on his front door, since they hadn't talked since the day before the night Clare dumped him. Drew answered the door, and without question called Adam to come downstairs. Adam tampered down the stairs to see Eli at the door. "Hey man. What's up?"

"You want to come on a walk with me?" Eli said and Adam agreed.

They were not heading anywhere special, just following small paths. "So, what's going on with you dude? You've been distant."

Eli kicked a small rock into the field off the path. "Clare dumped me."

"Seriously? Why?" Adam was the most shocked anyone had ever seen him. He knew Eli and Clare and expected them to be together forever.

"You can't tell anyone." Adam nodded. "The night Clare's parents had me go looking for her. Before I was able to get to the park. Fitz was there." He paused. "He tried to rape her. Luckily, I got there in time before he actually did."

"Oh wow. So how does that relate to you two breaking up?" Adam asked.

She keeps having nightmares or something. And she said that none of this would of happened if I never came into her life."

"I'm sorry man. But she'll come around I know it. Clare loves you man. Like in love with you. She probably just needs a break until this all passes." Adam comforted.

"But how long will that take?"

Adam shrugged. "Romance her when she gets back."

"Adam! You're a genius!" Eli hugged him.

They pulled away awkwardly coughing, then fist pounded. "Hey and I know a perfect place too." Eli followed Adam, where he brought him to a little meadow area which had a large gazebo in the middle. The area looked abandon, with broken benches and some weeds in places, and pain chipping off the gazebo. "So what do you think? Romance potential?"

"It's… It's perfect! Where'd you find it?" He ran into the gazebo, seeing it's larger then he thought.

"Drew and I were wandering around one weekend and just found it. Drew tried to bring Alli here all the time. But she never wanted to walk in the woods. So yeah. I guess it's mean for you and Clare." Adam responded. "When does she get back? 'Cause Sav and Holly J's secret masquerade at Above The Dot is tomorrow night. Do you know if she's coming?"

"Tomorrow morning. But she'll be too tired to go anyway."

Adam pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "Not if we get help from the expert of talking people into pathetic things like dances." Some answered, "Hey Alli. It's Adam. I was just wondering. What are you doing tomorrow?" "So you are going to the dance. Well…" "No, I'm not asking you out! I wanted to know if you are seeing Clare tomorrow?" "You are! Great! You need to talk her into going to the masquerade tomorrow night." "Why?"-He glanced at Eli who shrugged-"It's for Eli. I want to get them back together." A loud squeal came through the phone that Eli could even hear it, then there was some silence in the meadow because Alli was talking. "Great! So you will show up with Clare at ten. And Eli will try to win her back." He shut his phone
