Hey guys, so this is a pretty lengthy chapter, so have fun reading! ;) And this will be my last chapter, unless you really want me to write more! But if not, this story is over! Thanks so much guys! And leave your reviews!
Clare's jaw dropped immediately, as she peered at the brown eyed beauty; who was being charitable; giving Clare unknown looks. "Hey Clare." Julia said, as she leisurely got up from the panther black leather couch, and started meandering over towards Clare.
Clare snapped her mouth shut, as she thought of what to say in return. "Oh, hello Julia." She said in a petrified voice. Even Eli could sense she was scared stiff.
"I hope you don't hate me." Julia said, while sauntering closer to Clare. At this point, Clare started walking backwards; inching away from Julia. Julia then looked to Eli who shrugged. This shrug basically said. Don't look at me. I didn't hurt Clare physically. You did. Now deal with it yourself.
Thanks big bro. Julia thought to herself, as she finally halted dead in her tracks. "Okay, Clare. I get it, I know you hate me. Heck, I know hate isn't a strong enough word to use against me." She looked at the shabby gray carpet, as she collected more of her thoughts.
"I'm sorry. I really am." Julia looked into Clare's eyes, Clare did the same. Sapphire met with Emrald. She knew from the look in her eyes, that Julia was truly sorry.
"It's okay, I guess. I mean, I don't blame you for hating me." Clare said, as she walked closer to Julia. She was persistent on talking. "I forgive you, if you forgive me for getting in-between you and Eli." Clare did a half smile. She knew that she shouldn't be sorry. But she said it anyway.
"Clare, you're a sweet girl. No wonder Eli is bonkers about you." A smile levitated the corners of Julia's lips up. Julia and Clare were inches apart from each other now. "Thanks Julia, you're not too bad yourself." Clare said, blushing.
Eli was feet away from them, just watching to see how this whole conversation would pan out. "Hug, Hug, Hug, Hug!" Eli chanted from the sideline. Eli was smiling as well.
"Okay professor pushy." Julia laughed, as she got closer to Clare and engulfed Clare into a hug, an amazing hug; which was full of adore and friendship.
Clare Pov:
That moment, was an amazing moment. I never thought it would end that way, but it did. Julia and I are friends now, and it couldn't be any better. Half of me will never forgive her for the constant headaches I get, but the other half of me knows that it's just water under the bridge now.
I guess the Grinch even had a heart; no matter how evil he was. I personally think he was just misunderstood.
Fitz will definitely like her, I know it.
OoOo
Clare, Eli, and Julia were sitting at the dining room table, drinking sodas, and eating Scooby Doo fruit snacks. Eli was having orange soda, Clare was having raspberry soda, and Julia was having root beer.
"Would you rather burn to death, or freeze to death?" Julia asked both Clare and Eli. "Aha, what kind of question is that?" Eli asked, while he was thinking about what his answer should be.
"Burn!" Clare blurted out.
"Burn? Why? That's crazy!" Julia asked.
"Because you don't suffer as long. Why what would you choose?" Clare asked, while she had an extreme case of the giggles.
"I would choose burn as well…"
"You would? Then why were you questioning me like I was looney?" Clare asked. "Because." Julia said, while giggling as well.
"Because why?" Clare asked again.
"Because because." Julia said.
Just then, Eli interrupted. "Personally? I would choose to live." He tried hard to keep a straight face. "RIP OFF! CHEATER!" Both Clare and Julia screamed, as they socked him in the arm quite forcefully. "Ouch!" Eli said; his stomach hurt from laughing too much. He swore it could feel a six pack coming on.
"Shall we call Fitz now?" Clare randomly blurted out. She was anxious to do so.
"Clare, I can't. I'm too nervous! What if he doesn't like me! What if I don't like him?" Julia was really concerned.
"He will love you, and you will love him. Trust me!" Clare patted Julia on the back.
"Okay, if you must, call him, before I change my mind." She smiled unsurely.
OoOo
The phone rang for 30 seconds, before someone picked up! "Hello?" someone asked. Clare could tell it was him automatically. "Fitz, Hey! It's Clare." She said. "Oh hey Clare, how goes it?"
"I'm good. Hey, to cut this conversation short…I'm here with Eli and Julia." Clare paused. "Julia is extremely excited to meet you!" Clare looked over to Julia, who heard Clare say that. What? Why would you say that? Julia mouthed out. Clare put a finger to her lips; silencing Julia.
"So I was curious if you could come over and meet her?" Clare crossed her fingers. "Yea, I would love to Clare! Anything for you!" Fitz replied
"Awe, thanks! So the address is 2321 Glacier Lane."
"Okay, thanks Clare, I shall be there shortly!" Fitz said. He then hung up; and so did Clare.
"And Bingo was his name-o!" Clare said.
"What is that suppose to mean?" Julia asked, cocking her head to the side. Eli was wondering the same thing. "It means it's a done deal. Fitz will be here soon!"
"What? Oh crap. I need to get ready. I will see you guys soon. I'm gonna get showered." Julia was practically ripping her hair out, as she ran up the stairs.
OoOo
Clare and Eli were still sitting at the table, while Julia was getting ready for her prince Charming. "Clare, you did well. You should be pound of yourself." Eli said, as he kissed her on the temple. "Thanks Eli, at least I know I did something right." Clare said, as she turned her body towards Eli. "I hope they really hit it off." Clare smiled in uncertainty.
OoOo
Julia was in her bedroom, drying off her jet black hair. She had just finished her shower. "Oh goodness." Julia moaned aloud. "I hope he likes me. I hope I like him." She was now brushing her hair, as she stood in front of her mirror, in a robe.
"What should I wear?" She asked herself, placing down the comb onto the dresser. She peeled through all the clothes in her closet until she found the perfect one. She found a pair of dark blue jeans, which fit her perfectly. And along with it, she put on a black babydoll top, with white lace on the waist.
"Perfect…" Julia whispered to herself, as she smiled at her reflection.
OoOo
While Clare and Eli sipped the last of their pop, the doorbell rang. "He's here!" Clare screeched; she kissed Eli on the lips in excitement. "I'll get the door Eli." She ran towards the door, and opened it. She was hit with a subtle whiff of good smelling cologne. "Hey there stranger." Clare smiled, as she opened the door wider and invited him in.
Fitz walked on in, and his eyes immediately glued onto Eli. "So you're Eli?" He asked. "It's nice to meet you." Fitz stuck out his hand to greet Eli. "Yea dude, it's nice to meet you as well." Eli said, as he finished shaking hands with Fitz.
"So where's the lovely Ms. Goldsworthy?" he smiled, as Eli was about to answer. "She's…" Eli was cut off by a young ladies voice. "I'm right here." Julia said, as she was walking down the stairs like a princess. God, he's gorgeous. She thought to herself.
She finally reached the bottom of the stairs. "Hey, I'm Julia." She smiled, and flipped her hair in confidence. "Hi, I'm Fitz. And has anyone told you that you're gorgeous?" They both smiled like a maniac.
This could be the start to something amazing. Clare thought to herself, as she was entangled into Eli's arms. They were both giddy with excitement.
The End! Unless you want it to go on? If so, tell me! :D
