A/N: So, I'm trying to update as much as I can, but school just started and I'm going to be pretty busy. I hope you guys enjoy!
Chapter 2:
"I don't know, Liv. It could go either way." Adam replied, tossing another stone at the lake, watching it skip across the water. Liv threw her stone up in the air a few times, catching it as she bit the inside of her cheek.
"I just want him happy." she tossed her stone, watching it hit the water and sink under without even skipping. She sighed, Adam chuckling softly as he got up to grab another stone.
"I know you do. I want him happy too, I just don't know if this will work. Clare doesn't want to be put in the same situation again." Adam spoke as he found the perfect stone, taking a seat next to Liv again. "I don't blame her, either. You know I love Eli, but-"
"He was going through a rough time, he's changed. He's taking his pills again, and he's been sober for the past week." Liv hugged her knees. "I just hope he keeps this up." Adam shrugged.
"Eli is, Eli. He'll do something when you least expect it, you know that…" Adam trailed off, not wanting to knock Liv's brother too much. He turned to her, watching. Her green eyes were fixed on the lake, her chin was rested on her knees as she hugged them, a softly sad look on her gorgeous face. Truth was Adam has been in love with this girl since the moment he met her, and has never been able to stop thinking about her since. But, what would Liv want with him; he wasn't even physically a guy. Liv often talked about going lesbian, due to the fact of her bad luck with guys, though Adam convinced her that girls wouldn't be that different. Liv sighed loudly, causing Adam to blink a few times and follow her glance to the lake as he threw his stone, watching it skim across the lake before descending into the water.
"I should probably get back." Liv said, standing up and brushing the dirt off her pants. Adam nodded, standing up after her.
"I can walk you home, if you'd like…"
"No, Adam, it's okay." she smiled sweetly. "It's too far away from your house anyway." Adam nodded, stuffing his hands in his pockets. "Thanks again."
"I'm always here for you, Liv."
"I know." she hugged him quickly before waving and walking off, leaving Adam to just watch her until she disappeared out of sight. He then huffed, mumbling something under his breath as her picked up his feet to walk home.
Liv opened the door, shutting it softly behind her as she stuffed her keys in her pocket, locking the door behind her. She tilted her head, watching Eli on the couch, a movie on and popcorn on the coffee table. He was alright, this was a good sign. She tucked a piece of hair behind her ear, walking over and joining him on the couch.
"It's your favorite." he replied, his eyes not leaving the screen. She looked, realizing it was; Night of the Living Dead. She reached for the bowl of popcorn, mumbling the lines under her breath as Eli laughed. "You've seen this too many times."
"So have you, so why are you watching it now?" Eli shrugged.
"Because, it's your favorite." he smiled down at her, and she smiled back, changing her glance to the TV screen to watch. After a few more hours of movies, Eli was out. Liv shut the TV off, threw the popcorn away, and put the bowl in the sink. She grabbed a blanket, and tossed it over his sleeping body, placing a soft kiss on his cheek and walked upstairs into her room for the night.
Clare sat out in the backyard, letting the sun hit her face as she was deep in thought. She wasn't one to make hard and fast decisions, and this one she knew would take a lot of thought. Of course she missed Eli. She missed his smirks, his kisses, his laugh, but most of all she missed who she was with him. She missed being able to just scream in public, and have him grin, she missed that Clare, and wanted her back. But, she was also scared of Eli. She was scared at what he'd become, and she wanted to believe he changed, more than anything she did, but part of her had a feeling he wouldn't change, he couldn't change. She sighed, picking up her glass of water and taking a sip, setting it down and shutting her eyes. All he wanted was a second chance, but could she take the risk?
A/N: I know, this was a short chapter, and maybe boring, but it's a filler and there is more to come. Thanks for reading! xoxo
