Chapter 36

Repentence

Clare's POV

I woke up Adam was driving and Eli was nowhere to be found. "Adam where's Eli?" I looked around the car..."Ally?" I asked,gently waking her up. "They went to get food Clare...it's okay go back to sleep." I looked at my wrist watch 10:00 am. I remembered everything that happened last night. "Ally I had sex last night." There was no going back. The moment wasn't right,it was just lust between two horn dogs.
"I made a terrible mistake!" I sat up. Adam you have to get me to a church!" Adam pulled the car over..."um okay." He said. Adam pulled out onto the road. "What kind of church?" I shook my head. "It doesn't matter!" He stopped the car and I got out. "I'm going to get the boys at Subway,and come back for yo." Adam said. "Ally come with." I shook Ally and pulled her into the church.

"It's a little late for prayers Clare,you had sex. You did the deed." I gulped. "It's a sin Ally..I have to get jesus to forgive me." She shook her head,pushing sleep out of her eyes. "okay then repent away."

"Can I help you?" A man walked out. I thought he was a pastor."Yes Bless me father for I have sinned." I said. Ally laughed. "Ally don't laugh in the house of God!" I said. "Uhhhh..." The man said. "Sweetie I think you're in the wrong place." I looked up to see nude paintings everywhere.
About a minute later...I realized that it wasn't a church. "I thought this was a church,you have stained glass windows.. "Where am I?" I asked... "This is a creative art gallery... " Ally laughed..."and by creative you mean?" The man smiled 'nude' I watched a bunch of nude people walk by me. "You know you really need to change the sign outside" I said,and walked out. " I covered my eyes embarrassed. "Well that was interesting." Ally said. "Don't say anything." I said. I watched Morty pull into the parking lot. Eli was laughing.

He got out of the car,probably to taunt me. "Edwards did you just come out of that nude gallery?" I smiled. "We'll unlike you I appreciate fine art." Yah that will cover it. "liar" he said,laughing. "It's not funny I need to find a church to ask for forgivness." Eli froze. "yah we'll that's what the nude factory is for." he said sarcastically. "That is not funny Eli." Yet he found this oddly humerous. We got in the car. "Oh boy.." He said,covering his face laughing. "It had stained glass windows..I assumed it was church."

"I think that lazor surgery has warn off Edwards." He continued laughing,then Adam started laughing and then Fitz. I knew they would taunt me like this for years. "Damn it Eli find me a church." I had no idea where we were. "I think you should find a pharmacy first.." Ally said. Adam turned into the pharmacy. "Ally I feel so bad." I went to the counter to get my morning after pill. "Hey Clare,Ally..." Oh no please don't let that be Wesley. "Exactly how many pharmacies do you work at?" He grinned. "My dad owns this one,I'm just filling in for another employee." That happy elf voice he has. "Can I help you find something?" Ally laughed. "Sadly they lost that at the circus." I wacked her on the arm. "owgh" she said.

I picked up a pregnancy test. Thinking he will get the memo.. he will go away. Then Eli walked in. "Oh boy!" he said. "Yah was our haunted house fun really worth it?" I asked putting the first response down. "Here Clare drink it down." I swollowed the pill,hoping it would work. I bought the pregnancy test,hoping Wesley wouldn't tell anyone. "Okay so according to Wesley were about 4-5 hours from home." I looked at Ally to see she had serious makeout hair. "You made out with..." I watched Wesley wave at us." What I had to get information...and promise him not tell anyone about the pregnancy test." I rolled my eyes, taking the bag,leaving Eli to read the back of boxes of pregnancy tests. He saw us leaving,and dropped them,leaving Wesley to clean them up. "Sorry man." He said,going out the door.

"So what do we do...now?' Eli asked. "hope this works." I said,putting the box in my jacket pocket. "I really need to repent now." I said seriously. "Clare look! Church of Christ." I grabbed Ally hands and walked across the street. "Lord I'm sorry that I gave into temptation 4 months before my wedding,and I feel so guilty and sorry and I don't regret it. I mean I love him,but I'm only seventeen,and I should of know better and I'm sorry,so sorry please forgive me,please forgive me. -Amen." "If you keep that up,you're going to make me feel guilty." Ally said. "I allready do." Eli said,walking into the church. "It's not your fault." I said. "No it is...I dragged you there,and tricked you leaving you out in the dark." He said. "I better repent over there." Ally said pouting her lips.

"This doesn't seem like your style.." I said. He sat next to me in the pew. "An empty church in a strange town...seems exciting." he said sarcastically. "I'm sorry Clare,and if you're pregnant. I'm doubly sorry." I laughed. "I probably would of given in earlier,and we wouldn't be virgins on our wedding day." I said. "I don't regret it,cause I love you...sure it was completely creepy and dark,and in a circus house,but I love you." "I really hope God isn't listening right now." Eli said,getting up. I looked up,thinking about my Dad.

"You know what I wanted the most?" He raised an eyebrow ..."What?" "My dad to walk me down the isle." Then I cried.

"He's still around Edwards,he wouldn't want to miss that." This boy just keeps getting more and more profound. "That's nice." I said. "So then your mom is still around to." He smirked. "I really hope their not hooking up right now." I laughed. "Okay we can go now." I said getting up. We left the church.

Eli's POV

Clare almost confessed her sins to a bunch of nudests. That was the highlight of this whole trip. I don't regret what we did.. "I don't want to do that again,until our wedding night...and lets act like it's the first time." Clare said. "Okay Edwards." I said,walking back to the car. "Next time were going to have real candles." I said,opening the car door. "true ." Clare said to Ally. "yah I guess you're right Clare." Ally said. "Hey guys..." I looked in my rear view mirror. "Is that Fitz being chased by goons? Or are my eyes playing tricks on me?" Fitz ran past the car. Adam looked scared. "Should we drive away?" He asked. "Nah we should help him." I said...once again I weighed my hands. "Drive away,help fitz,drive away,help,help,driveaway... I couldn't make up my mind. "Think fast." Adam said,as two creepy men hit the back of Morty.
