Hey guys! Haha, I got a bunch of reviews telling KC to GTFO. I know, I didn't want to bring him into Eli and Clare's perfect little world, either. But I felt this story needed a bit of angst, so it wouldn't get boring. Anyways, I hope you like it! Virtual cookies to all who reviewed! :)

Clare's POV

I was very confused at that moment. What did KC want? I was over him, I didn't need to have a chat with him. I said to him, "Um, KC, this really isn't the best time. Can we talk another day?"

He frowned. "Why?"

"It's none of your business. I'll talk another day, but I'm busy. With Eli." I said sharply. I wasn't sure why I was so snappy at him. I felt bad as he lowered his head. "Look, I didn't mean it that way. This just isn't the right time."

"Okay. Have fun with Eli." He spat out his name. I frowned and slammed the door shut as he walked away. What had gotten into me? I had gotten over him a while ago. Why was I so hostile towards him still?

I leaned my back against the door, and I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. Eli looked at me and frowned. He went to my side and said, "What's wrong? What happened? Who was at the door?" He hugged me tightly. I must have looked really sad.

"Eli, I'm fine. You're overreacting. It was KC, he said he wanted to talk to me. It seemed urgent, but I told him we should talk another time. I felt so angry towards him, I don't know why." I said quietly.

"He hurt you, Clare. It's alright to be mad at someone who cheated on you." He said, kissing my forehead.

"Thank you." I had calmed down, and we went into the living room.

We spent the rest of the day just relaxing. We watched a few movies. I made Eli watch Romeo and Juliet. It reminded me of our first kiss. I cried at the end, and Eli held me, rocking me slowly, singing sweetly in my ear. After, Eli made me watch The Exorcist. That movie scared me half to death. I spent most of the movie hiding my eyes in Eli's shoulder. I was horrified just from hearing the sounds.

When the movie was over, I punched Eli in the arm.

"Ow! What was that for?" He said, holding his arm.

"I'm going to have nightmares about that movie for weeks!" I said.

"Oh, come on. The Exorcist is the best. And I don't think you'll be having nightmares if I stay with you." He replied.

"Hm, I guess that would help." I grinned at him. I snuggled closer and drifted off to sleep.

I woke up to the sound of Eli moaning my name. I looked up at him. His eyes were closed, his arms were wrapped around me. He was fast asleep, but his face had a look of lust.

"Claaare." He said. I giggled. Could he really be having a wet dream about me? I blushed at the thought. He felt me stir, and slowly opened his eyes. He saw me blushing and giggling, and he looked confused. Then he looked down at the wet spot on his pants and blushed a deep red. "Oh. Um... Sorry about that, Clare."

"It's fine. It was very entertaining." I kissed him softly, and then I mimicked him, "Ohh, Claaare! Ohhh!" I giggled, and he frowned and blushed even more.

"Hey, sometimes it happens to people. I'm sure it's happened to you." He grinned and poked my stomach.

"Actually, I have yet to have a sexual dream about anyone." I said, smirking.

"Well, no one is as perfect as you." He said sarcastically. I punched his arm. He chuckled and kissed my forehead. "So what do you think KC wanted?" he asked.

"I don't know. It was strange, usually he keeps his distance from me. I guess I'll find out tomorrow at school." I frowned. What did KC want?

Eli kissed the frown off my face. I deepened the kiss, pressing myself closer to him. He laced his fingers through my hair, trailing kisses down my neck. I moaned as he sucked on my pulse point. He smiled into the kiss, whispering, "I love you so much."

As I started to pull off his shirt, the doorbell rang repeatedly, urgently. Eli groaned and we rushed downstairs, and opened the door. There was KC, looking urgent.

He asked, "Clare, can I please talk to... alone?"

I opened my mouth, but Eli spoke before I could. "Why? If you're going to talk to her, I want to be there. We don't want you hurting her again, do we?" There was a sharp edge to his voice.

"Please, Clare, it's really important. I need to talk to you privately." KC pleaded.

Eli started to press forward, a dark, angry look in his eyes. Suddenly, I was intimidated by this normally sweet and caring boy. I pushed him back, saying, "Eli, KC won't hurt me. We're over each other, remember?" I said.

KC added, "Yeah, over each other." He titled his head down, as if he were upset or let down. His lip jutted forward, but only slightly.

"Okay, but if you so much as make her the slightest bit upset, I will beat the shit out of you." Eli started.

"Okay, Eli, go inside. I'll be back in as soon as you know it." I said, kissing his cheek. He gave me a small smile, but his eyes were hard with protectiveness.

He shut the door behind him, and I turned to KC. "Okay, make it quick. What did you need to tell me?"

He fidgeted with his hands, staring at the ground. He said quietly, "Well, Jenna had a miscarriage."

"Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry, KC. Please tell Jenna that you guys are in my prayers." Without thinking, I pulled him into an awkward hug.

After a moment, he pulled back and continued, "Yeah, so my kid is dead. The only reason why I got back together with Jenna is because of the kid. I don't love Jenna anymore. You know who I do love, though? You." He said quickly and bluntly.

Oh. Oh. How was I supposed to respond to that? "I... uh... KC..." Only confused, mumbled words came out of my mouth. What the heck?

"I know, you're in love with Eli. I get it. But give me a chance." He pleaded.

What drug was he on? "KC, you left me for her. How do you expect me to give you a second chance? I forgave you, but I'm with Eli now. That's the end of it." I snapped.

"Clare, PLEASE! I love you. It's always been you. I only realized that recently, though. Just give me a chance," He begged.

"Just... just go. Now." I walked back in the house, slamming it shut, a heartbroken KC Guthrie on the other side.

Eli rushed to me, seeing there was something wrong. "Clare! Did he hurt you?" He asked, pulling me into his arms.

"No... But... I hurt him." I replied, tears running down my cheeks.

Sorry this is so short, I just needed to get something out there. I'll try to update more often, I promise. :)
