Haha, you guys are amazing! Here's chapter nine!

Eli

I really couldn't believe Fitz expected me to break Clare's heart. It really bothered me. But what bothered me the most was what he was going to do if I didn't. I decided not to and see what would happen. I mean, what could go wrong?

I saw Fitz laughing with his friends outside before school started. I saw Clare with Adam and she motioned for me to come by them. I walked towards them and felt Fitz grab my arm and yank me towards him.

"So, you going to go break her heart?" He asked.

"Well, what happens if I don't?" I asked. He laughed, then went serious.

"You don't want to see what I do to Clare." I glared at him, and my heart skipped a beat.

I walked away and went towards Clare and Adam. My heart was beating fast and I felt dizzy. I didn't want to hurt Clare, but Fitz said he would hurt her if I didn't. There was no choice.

I motioned for Adam to go away and he made a face at me and picked up his bag and left.

"Hey, Eli!" Clare said.

"I have to talk to you," I said. She went silent. "I cant be with you. I can never be with you."

"Eli, what are you-" She started.

"Let me finish! Clare, this isn't going to work. We cant be boyfriend or girlfriend, or just friends."

"Stop joking!" She said, hitting my arm. I didn't want to say this.

"Clare, I never liked you. Never. I just felt bad for you because of K.C." A tear fell from her face.

"Thanks, Eli. Goodbye," She said. She ran away into the school, and I saw Fitz give me a thumbs up.

At least Clare was safe now.

Clare

I couldn't believe it. Was I dreaming? I pinched myself. Definitely not dreaming. It was real. Eli had just broken my heart, like K.C did. I had bad luck with guys.

I ran into the bathroom, crying. He just felt bad for me. I looked at myself in the mirror. I didn't know what do think. The bell rang and I walked out, running into Adam.

"Hey, are you okay?" He asked me. I wiped the tears from my eyes.

"Eli told me he never liked me. He just felt bad for me," I said.

"That doesn't sound like, Eli," Adam said. I shook my head and headed for class.

When I went to lunch, I sat under the stairs. Eli was probably off with Adam, telling him about everything that happened this morning, then they would laugh and laugh about it. While I sat under the stairs and cried and cried.

When I went to English, I sat in the corner seat, not being social to anybody. When class ended I quickly gathered my belongings and walked outside. Then, Fitz came right into my path, smiling at me.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"I heard about what Eli did to you today. He was bragging about it in class," Fitz said. I looked down, feeling like my heart was torn in two. "Want me to walk you home?"

"Sure," I said. Okay, I realized it was a bad idea. But he was actually being nice to me. And you know what they say. When one door closes, another one opens.

When we got to my house, Fitz waved goodbye to me and left. I couldn't help but feel the need to tell him not to go. But I knew he was probably just a rebound and then next day I would go back to hating him.

I went on my laptop and saw Eli online. I wanted to talk to him so much! I wanted him to message me and tell me it was a joke. I decided to make the first move.

Clare Edwards,

I thought you were different.

Eli Goldsworthy,

You don't understand.

I rolled my eyes.

Clare Edwards,

Of course I don't understand! I cant believe you.

Eli Goldsworthy,

I wish I could tell you. But I cant.

Clare Edwards,

Good, because I don't want to hear it!

I logged off and fell onto my bed, and cried.

Eli

I wanted to just go over to Clare's house and tell her that Fitz was making me do this, and that everything would be okay. But I didn't want Fitz hurting her. I couldn't deal with it when he hurt her before.

When I went to school the next day, I saw Clare sitting on a bench. I wanted to go sit by her and joke with her, but I knew I couldn't. I ran into Fitz, returning to reality.

"Well, I think Clare has moved onto other people," He said. I raised an eyebrow.

"Who?" I asked.

"Me! I walked her home yesterday." I glared at him. I couldn't believe it.

"You said you would leave her alone!" I shouted.

"I cant help it if the girl falls for me. But don't worry, you'll be invited to the wedding," He said. He walked away with his friends just cracking up.

I seriously couldn't believe it. I was scammed. I was scammed out of a beautiful girl. Fitz wasn't getting away with it.

Ugh, Fitz is an idiot! And Eli is too for hurting Clare like that. I hope you guys liked the chapter! Don't forget to review, review, review :)
