Wow, you guys work fast ;) ahah. So here's chapter five! You all earned it, especially since you gave me two more reviews than I asked for(:

Chapter Five

Clare was at loss for words.

She couldn't breathe…

Jake is Eli's cousin?

It just didn't want to register itself in her mind and she gulped as she looked up at Eli. He was red in the face and his green eyes were almost the color of black. His jaw was clenched and you could see the veins in his neck while he held his hands in tight fists at his side.

"Eli, c-calm down, please."

"What the fuck do you mean by calm down? How can I? He raped you, my own cousin raped you!"

"Shhh!"

"S-sorry… I just…"

"Why do you care anyway?" She asked bitterly. She couldn't help it; it was a repulse. She was so used to people judging her and bullying her.

"Because; you're different and I like it and you didn't run away from me. You're starting to become my friend and if you got hurt, it would bother me…" He mumbled.

"Really…?" He only nodded and she felt terrible for acting the way she was to him; he just wanted to be her friend. Suddenly they heard a noise at the end of the hall and both whipped around to see Fitz standing there; with a smirk taking over his features.

"How much did you hear?" Eli forced the words out through his rage.

"Just enough." And Eli decided to charge at Fitz with Clare trying to snatch him back, but failing. Eli tackled the slightly taller boy to the ground and started punching him in the face repeatedly until Fitz pushed him off and stumbled as he got up, "What's your problem?"

"You…" Was all Eli muttered menacingly.

"Fitz, just get out of here." Clare was fidgety and her arms were crossed over her chest.

"Fine…"

And with that Fitz left, but Eli and Clare knew that Fitz had heard everything. They were just afraid of what he wanted to keep the little secret or if he was planning to tell someone.

"Eli, why did you do that?" Clare hissed as she helped him up. He sighed before shrugging.

"He made me mad…" He mumbled.

"So, if I made you mad would you hit me?"

"No, you're a girl; I don't hit girls, but I do hit assholes like Fitz." He replied with a grimace making Clare sigh heavily.

"You know, you need to work on your anger problems."

"Yeah, yeah… whatever."

There were no more words exchanged after that as they walked back to class together in a comfortable silence.

"Wow, big appetite you got there." Eli teased as he sat down with Clare. It was lunch period and when Eli and Clare walked in together talking and laughing, people looked at them as if they were crazy. It had been about a week since the hallway incident and Fitz hadn't tried anything since.

"Shut it, Goldsworthy." She retorted before indulging herself in her food. Clare sure had an appetite and was most definitely not self-conscious, but lately her cravings had been worse and she realized that it was because of the pregnancy.

"Whatever, Edwards." He replied playfully, "Hey, I was wondering, do you wanna see a movie tonight?" His serious demeanor taking over. She looked up at him from across the table through her eyelashes while her mouth hung open slightly.

"Sure, that sounds, great."

"Cool."

Smirk.

Blush.

That's how it went most of the time; he would say something or smirk and that would make her all flustered and then they would randomly spark up a conversation a few minutes later.

But this time it was different. Clare wasn't sure if he was asking her out on a date or if it was just friends and a movie.

Soon the lunch bell rang and everyone shuffled around the lunch room to throw away their food and go off to class. Clare and Eli both hurried to their lockers and then to English together.

"Good morning kids. I'll be handing back your grades on your most recent essay."

Everyone in the class either nodded or made a grunting noise.

The teacher finally reached Eli and Clare and grinned at each of them before placing their essays on their desks, "You both did a wonderful job, the best writing I've seen all year."

They both looked down at their papers to see that they had gotten an A+.

Clare smiled widely at the teacher who was moving up to the front of the room, "You may talk amongst yourselves for the rest of class. I have to grade some papers."

Clare immediately turned around to Eli and he was smirking down at his essay, "What did you get?"

"A+."

"Me too, and I couldn't have done it without you." She smiled across the desk to him, but all of a sudden her morning sickness was hitting her, "Eli, b-bathroom." Realization dawned on his face.

"Uh, Ms. Angelo, can I take Clare to the nurses office, she's not feeling so great."

"Go ahead."

He grabbed Clare's hand and they walked quickly from the room and instead of to the nurses office they made their way to the girls room. Eli went right inside with her and she looked up at him, "What are you-" She hurried herself to a stall and the second she was on her knees she was puking into the toilet. Eli was knelt beside her; petting her hair and pushing it from her face while he tried to soothe her. She was already crying by now while she held onto his hand.

Eventually, the puking stopped and she was coughing and crying; she always cries while and after she pukes.

Eli pulled her into his lap so her back was pressed to his chest. He grabbed a handful of toilet paper and wiped her mouth before throwing it in the toilet and flushing it.

"I-I hate this…" Clare whimpered. Eli wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his chin on her head while he rocked them from side to side.

"I know, I know. It's going to be fine. You'll get through this, Clare." He whispered down at her.

"I hope…"

"Well, I know."

And that was the moment Clare realized that she might; just might like Eli Goldsworthy.

It was about six o'clock and Clare only had a half an hour left to get ready for her movie with Eli. Once she got out of the shower she rushed to her closet and ended up choosing ripped grey jeans that went to just above her knees and a turquoise tube top with a white cardigan. After she got dressed she grabbed a pair of white ballet flats and she decided to straighten her hair that night. Once she finished doing her hair she put on a light coat of lip gloss and some mascara.

It was about six-twenty when she ran downstairs to see Alli and her mom sitting at the dining room table.

"Clare, sweetie! You're ready for your date?" Alli's mother had become like Clare's other mom and they were very close, but she wasn't ready to tell her that she was raped and pregnant and that was the whole reason she moved in. Not yet at least.

"Yeah… and it's not a date! Alli, what did you tell her?" She felt the heat rush to her cheeks and she bit her lip as she looked between the other two people who just giggled at her. Suddenly the doorbell rang and Clare rushed to get it.

She opened the door to see Eli wearing a black dress shirt with a white tie and the sleeves were bunched up to his elbows. He was wearing his usual skinny jeans, but instead of combat boots, he was wearing black converse.

Clare realized she was checking him out and blushed when he raised an eyebrow at her and smirked, "Hi."

"Hey, you look amazing." She blushed as he eyed her clothing, "Are you ready to go?"

"Yeah, let's go."

They both walked outside and to his car or more accurately; hearse.

"Well, I'm surprised Morty didn't break down on the way here. How many times has he, this week?" Clare teased as she slid into the passenger seat and Eli chuckled lightly.

"Oh, he was being stubborn before I left my house, I was working on him for about fifteen minutes until he started up."

"How old is he anyway?" Clare asked as they started off to the movie theatre. Eli looked at her to see that she was actually curious. Her big blue eyes staring at him, waiting for an answer and her head cocked to the side with her mouth slightly open.

He couldn't deny that she looked adorable and he couldn't hold back the words that slipped from his mouth, "I like your eyes, they're beautiful."

He took his eyes from the road again to see her reaction and she blushing and biting her lip, "Thanks…" She breathed.

The rest of the ride was quiet, but comfortable for them. They reached the movie theatre in no time and after some arguing they decided on Insidious.

Clare never seemed like the type of girl to watch horror movies, but she actually loved them. Eli learned that two days ago at his house.

They got their tickets and went inside the theatre and found seats for themselves. The movie was actually just starting so they didn't have to sit there and wait.

During the whole entire movie, Clare ended up eating all of her popcorn while Eli was just half way done and had already had his arm around her.

When the credits started to roll they got up and stretched lightly, "That was an amazing movie." Clare said as they walked out of the theatre and to Morty.

"Yeah, it was alright; I've seen better." Eli said with a smirk and Clare just rolled her eyes as they got in Morty and started off to her house.

After getting to her house they both got out and Eli walked her up to the front door. They both turned to each other, "I had a great time Eli, thank you."

"Me too, it was nice going out with you." They were so close and if he leaned forward ever so slightly he would have his lips ghosting over hers, "Can I… kiss you?"

"Yes…" She breathed out before she closed her eyes and felt his lips on hers. His tongue dove into her mouth and started to play with hers. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close to him while her hands held onto his hair. They both pulled away gasping for air and smiled at each other.

"Goodnight, Blue Eyes."

"Goodnight, Eli."

He let go of her and watched her walk inside her house before walking away to Morty.

Clare watched from the windows on the side of the door as Eli pulled away in Morty. She turned back so she was facing the stairs and her back was pressed against the door.

That was definitely the best date Clare had ever been on…
