THE JUNKIE-CHAPTER 25

CLARE'S PROSPECTIVE

I laughed slapping him across the face and smiled.

I grabbed my heels and ran out the door as he chased after me.

My heart was racing, and I prayed that he wouldn't catch up to me.

When I swung open the door I banged into a police officer.

One of the police officers moved me and ran into the hotel room and tackled Jason the ground.

"Clare! Clare!" I heard him scream my name over and over again.

I moved back crying, in tears of joy, that he was leaving.

I backed up into someone's body and gasped turning around to see Eli.

I wrapped my arms around him and he whispered, "He's gone now Clare, he's gone…"

Eli covered my ears and hummed slowly, "It's alright…"

Through Eli's kind words I heard Jason screaming my name out, "Don't let them take me away Clare! Don't let them! Clare! She's my girlfriend! She's my girlfriend!"

He screamed over and over again.

I cried into Eli's chest and Eli said, "He's gone, he's not here anymore…"

I nodded gripping onto Eli tighter not wanting to let go.

I looked up slowly into Eli's bright green eyes.

"He's gone," I told him sighing in relief. He's really gone.

I clung to Eli like glue, and I hung onto him.

Looking over Eli's shoulder I saw Fitz.

I mouthed, "Thank you."

He nodded smiling and Eli laughed and said, "Clare if you hold on to me any tighter we might become one person."

I pulled away and said, "Sorry."

He smirked and said, "I love you Clare."

I wrapped my arms around the guy who changed my world…He made it…better.

FITZ'S PROSPECTIVE

I watched Clare grab onto Eli for dear life, wishing I was him.

I was jealous of Eli, he had the best girl in the world in his hands.

I smiled when she mouthed the two words that changed my life.

"Thank you," she mouthed.

I couldn't help but smile, knowing I helped her.

I helped Clare get back on her feet.

It was finally time for me to stand up for myself.

Clare's time has passed, and it was time for me to step up to the plate.

I watched intently as the police officer's inspected the room for finger prints and evidence. I watched Clare as she handed one of the officers her necklace, which had a camera inside that recorded everything that happened.

I watched as each officer walked by me, that was one person more who I could have told about my brother.

I sighed and my thought was interrupted when Eli shook me.

"I'm going to take Clare home, do you want a ride?"

I shook my head, "No man, I think I'm going to take a walk."

He shook his head and said, "Alright man, suit yourself. You can call me if you need anything."

I nodded and said, "I won't."

He laughed and I shook his hand.

"I'll see you around."

He smiled, "Guess you will."

Eli left with Clare, and she didn't say a word to me, just smiled.

When Eli got in the elevator with Clare at his side, I waved.

Clare whispered something in his ear and then she came walking out of the elevator smiling with tears running down her face.

Eli stayed in the elevator and soon disappeared.

"What are you doing Edwards?" I asked her.

She tilted her head to the side and she smiled, "I'm thanking you Fitz."

I smiled, blushing as I looked away trying to hide it.

"Without you, Jason wouldn't be being hauled off to jail. He would probably still coming over here and interrogating."She gulped nervously and continued, "I know this isn't one for me to say, but I feel…like you should tell someone about your brother. I'm really scared for you Fitz. I know I don't have to worry about Jason anymore, but you always seem to be on my mind…"

I smiled and said, "Aw, thanks. Stop it, you're making me blush."

She laughed and I looked into those blue eyes. God, those blue eyes, the ones that I could spot from a mile away.

"Listen Clare, why don't you go off and spend a nice, peaceful, parent free night at your boyfriend's house like a normal teenage girl?" I asked her sarcastically.

She smiled and said, "I'm not a normal teenage girl."

I nodded, agreeing with her.

"I know you're worried about me, but see, you can't. There isn't a reason."

I decided, lying would get her to leave.

"What?" She asked.

I smiled and said, "My brother left me, this afternoon. I got back from school, and all his stuff was gone and he left me money."

Clare smiled wrapping her arms around me and said, "Oh my god Fitz! I'm so happy for you!"

I said, "Yeah it's great."

I actually thought about that if that actually happened. No, he would always be there when I got home.

Always.

I held onto Clare's body, and she said, "You can let go now."

I laughed and let her go and said, "Oh right."

She laughed and said, "Why the long face? You should be happy…"

I nodded and said, "I don't know, I might miss him a little."

Clare tilted her head and said, "Come on Fitz, life is too short. Tell me what's on your mind."

I looked up shyly and said, "You."

She opened her mouth, searching for words to say, and I said, "Clare, I'll be okay. You've Eli and I got my Ravine buddies. It's just like…I think about you sometimes that's all. The feelings are slowly going away," I told her smiling and starting to walk past her.

I looked at the empty hotel room and she asked, "Where are you going?"

I felt in my pocket, the hotel room key that was Jason's and Clare's that I found on the scene and picked up.

I said, "Give me your hand."

She nervously gave me her hand and I placed the key in her hand.

"You only live once Clare, make it special."

She nodded, blushing, and got on her tippy toes and kissed me on the corner of my lips.

I didn't kiss back, knowing, I couldn't.

"Enjoy the night…while it's still young," I whispered blushing.

She gripped my hand and said, "Only if you promise me, that what you said about your brother was true and I don't have to worry about you."

I nodded and said, "I promise."

That was another lie.

Add it to the list...

CLARE'S PROSPECTIVE

"I can't believe the hotel gave us a room," I told Eli as he looked out onto the balcony.

Eli looked up at the stars and I slowly approached him wrapped my arms around him and he smiled at me.

"What are you thinking about? You've been so quiet," I asked Eli as he just sighed looking at the sky.

"Nothing, just…thinking that's all."

I nodded and asked, "Do you want a couple of minutes?"

He smirked and said, "Just give me ten minutes, and I'll be inside."

I nodded giving him his space walking back inside the hotel room.

I decided to take a shower, waste time, give him more time to "think."

Eli and I finally had alone time.

No one would interrupt us here.

This was, our time.

Eli knew that this was our only time and we had no choice but to take advantage of it. This was our night…

FITZ'S PROSPECTIVE

I slowly approached my house doors.

I looked up at the door, and sighed slowly turning the knob.

My heart picked up pace when I saw my brother, sitting at the table, tapping his fingers on the table.

"Why are you home so late?" He asked.

I smiled and said, "I was out, with my friends."

He nodded and said, "You know, just because you're almost eighteen doesn't mean you can run away from me."

I laughed and said, "I can try."

He slammed his fist on the table and said, "You know what guys get for punishment of a smart mouth."

I tilted my head as he stood up, getting in my face.

"A kick in the nards, perhaps?" I asked him smirking.

I moved my knee up and jammed it right in the dick and said, "Night!"

I walked up my steps as I heard him wheezing out in my pain.

"Get back here you little shit!" He screamed. I ran up the stairs as fast as possible and closed the door.

I crawled into the corner of my room, like I was ten again.

I closed my eyes, going back to that day.

I was shaking, crying, in this same corner.

A tear escaped my eyes and I waited for him to come storming through the door and start hitting me…

AW, POOR FITZ -_-

SO, DO YOU THINK I'M GOING TO LET CLARE AND ELI HAVE THERE "NIGHT" TOGETHER?

YEAH…RIGHT (;

PREVIEW TO CHAPTER 25:

I twiddled my phone in my hands as I looked up at the sky. "Is this right?" I asked to the open air. I smiled, knowing I wasn't going to get an answer. I looked at my jacket that was resting on the chair. I looked at it, and searched the pockets. Bingo. I pulled out my spare bottle of scotch. I looked up and said, "Thank you." I laughed opening it, and drinking it. Clare was luckily still in the shower, singing, and I smiled. I couldn't take going without a drink, I needed it. Clare needed to try and understand that when I had the urge to drink this, she'd just have to accept it. I couldn't not drink it. But, I've been good. I went four days straight with no drinks. I thought that was amazing, but when I get bored, and Clare's not around or Fitz or anyone, I need it. The drinks will ALWAYS be there for me. I swallowed the last sip, sighing. I laughed and flung it over the balcony listening to it crash on the concrete. This was it Eli, be a man. Tonight, you're going to be becoming a man. I smiled looked at the stars, and I heard a click to a door. I slowly turned around and glanced at Clare, who was standing nervously with a towel wrapped around her gleaming body…

LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO GO PRETTY GOOD RIGHT?

ALRIGHT WELL YOU GUYS THINK WHAT YOU WANT TO THINK (;
