This is the final chapter for this story

however I may do a sequel

Ch.5 Ummm How Did This Happen?

Eli sighed, he got up and put some music on the stereo. Clare continued to dance making her way over to Bianca. "The boys don't like dancing, dance with me B." Clare purred.

"Yeah I don't think that's why they aren't dancing," Bianca said watching all 4 of them shift uncomfortably to hide the fact that they were aroused. Even Adam was squirming.

Clare seemed completely oblivious to this fact and continued to dance with Bianca. Adam got up and went to the kitchen, getting out a bottle of water and leaning behind the counter. Bianca and Clare danced through two more songs before Owen flicked off the radio.

"Heeeey!" Clare whined.

"Yeah any more of that and the 4 of us might explode." Owen said.

Clare looked confused but Bianca was laughing hysterically.

"But now I'm bored, I was promised dancing." Clare pouted popping out her lower lip before biting it.

Owen moaned a little and Eli glared at him, "Sorry dude but your ex is hot and she's being totally sexy without even trying."

"Bianca kept me from killing Fitz tonight but if you don't watch your mouth I will take it out on you." Eli warned him.

"Guys enough," Bianca scolded them, "Let's do something else."

"Like what?" Adam asked from the kitchen.

"Truth or Dare?" Drew suggested.

"Not a chance!" Eli spat.

"Why not? Truth or Dare can be fun?" Adam mused.

"Because the state Clare is in she would take any dare and no offense but I don't trust any of you to keep it at a PG-13 rating." Eli stated matter of factly.

By this time Clare had gotten bored was randomly wandering through Eli's living room. She went over to Adam and started running her fingers through his hair. Adam looked at her and stepped away.

Clare scrunched up her face in disappointment and started walking towards the door. "This party is boring, I'm going for a walk." She said nearing the hall.

"NO!" Everyone yelled.

Drew was closest and he hopped up and grabbed her by Eli's shirt. "We need to do something; if we keep sitting here she's gonna get more bored."

"How bout a movie," Bianca suggested, "If we all settle down she might get tired and fall asleep."

The others nodded in agreement, Eli got up picking the first blu-ray he came across and put it in, turning on the tv. He went to sit back down but not before grabbing Clare's hand and taking her to the couch with him, setting her on his lap. Adam came and sat by Eli, and Clare rested her legs on him. Bianca sat on the floor but Drew got up to give her his spot. Owen went to the kitchen taking a chair from the dining room table and putting it in near the couch so he could see. Drew sat back down next to Bianca and she laid her head on his shoulder. Clare stretched out so that her feet were now on Bianca. Drew went to move them but Bianca shook her head.

"It's fine let Princess Clare stretch out." Bianca said.

Clare giggled at the nickname and the others smiled. About an hour into the movie Clare finally fell asleep.

"Guys." Eli said quietly nudging Adam, "She's asleep, let's all go to bed." The others nodded.

"Owen in the closet in the hall are two air mattresses, I'll put Clare in bed with me."

"I'll sleep with Drew," Bianca said sleepily and Drew smiled.

"I am not sleeping with Owen!" Adam protested.

"I can sleep on the floor, or the couch." Owen said.

"The floor sucks and if she has some kind of bad reaction in the middle of the night I want you all close by to help. Adam can sleep with us, we'll put Clare in the middle, Okay?" Eli questioned.

Adam nodded. Owen got up and got the air mattresses from the closet. Eli picked up Clare and they all went upstairs to Eli's room. He laid Clare in his bed before helping to set the up the air mattresses. While the boys set up the beds Bianca took off Clare's shoes and untied Eli's shirt at the bottom so that it covered her like a night shirt. While the guys were still distracted she slipped off Clare's skirt so it couldn't twist up in the middle of the night. Then she tucked Clare in under the covers. When the beds were set up Owen got into the one near the door, and Drew and Bianca slipped into the one next to Eli's bed. Eli slipped off his jeans sliding under the bed next to Clare. Adam took off his belt but left his jeans on slipping in on the other side of Clare. It was almost 4am now and everyone was exhausted and soon fell asleep.

.

.

Clare's eyes slowly opened, she was groggy, her head felt heavy and her vision was blurry. She suddenly became aware of the fact that she was in someone's arms, her forehead resting against a cotton t-shirt covered chest. She tilted her head up ever so slightly to See Eli's angelic looking sleeping face. She felt herself blush. "Why am I in Eli's bed with him holding me?"

Then Clare became aware of another form on the other side of her. She gently lifted up Eli's arms so she could maneuver her head around to see who else was in the bed. Her eyes were met with the sight of Adam sleeping on his back. "Why am I in Eli's bed wrapped in his arms, with Adam on the other side!"

Then Clare became acutely aware of the fact that she was wearing only Eli's shirt and a bra, he skirt and most importantly her panties were missing! Clare took in a deep breath and gulped. She was going to try to get out of the bed without waking the two boys. She maneuvered slowly until she could sit up a little without disturbing either boy. That's when she saw other figures sleeping on the air mattresses on the floor. A boy with olive skin and short dark, spiky hair; Drew. His arms wrapped around a mess of dark curls; Bianca. A few feet away, a boy with a bigger build and medium length Black hair; Owen. "Okay what the hell, I mean heck happened last night?! How did we all end up in Eli's room? Where is my underwear? Why am I in bed with Eli and Adam?! And why are Bianca, Drew and Owen here too?!"

Clare shifted under the blanket trying to pull Eli's shirt down over her legs. The sudden rush of air in the bed awoke both Eli and Adam. They opened their eyes to look at her but Clare put her head down and blushed.

"Morning Beautiful." Eli smirked at her sitting up.

"How you feeling Princess?" Adam questioned, sitting up as well.

Clare ignored the nickname and kept pulling at Eli's shirt with her fingers, until she caught movement from the corner of her eye and saw the other three waking up.

"The fair Princess awakes," Bianca smiled, shifting herself but holding Drew's hand.

"Back to your shy self I see." Owen said sitting up.

"Will somebody please tell me what happened last night?" Clare said softly still not looking at anyone.

"How much do you remember?" Eli asked.

Clare sat all the way up and leaned against the headboard between Eli and Adam. "I remember getting to the party with Alli, Dave getting us drinks. Then she and Dave went to the back light room. I was feeling…funny…well no but I'm not sure how else to describe it, I sat on the couch and Owen was sitting beside me…" Clare's head shot up and she looked at Owen, "Did I flirt with you and sit in your lap?"

"Yep." Owen smiled popping on the p.

Clare put her head down again, "It's all kind of hazy…I…wait Adam you were there we danced."

Adam nodded.

"And then…I…the rest of it is pretty hazy. I remember being really happy and flirty. I remember being picked up." Clare looked up again this time at Drew. "You were holding me, but I had no shirt on and then I was sitting in your lap.

"Yeah but I didn't take off your shirt, you did, and you crawled into my lap. I was holding you after Owen picked you up and tried to take you upstairs, and I demanded he hand you over." Drew explained defending himself.

"WAIT! You almost took me upstairs! OWEN!"

"Hey in my defense, you were all for it." Owen said holding up his hands.

"There is no way I would have willingly gone upstairs with you!" Clare said crossing her arms.

"Actually you probably did but you weren't exactly thinking straight. Fitz slipped ecstasy in your drink when none of us were looking." Bianca told her.

"HE DID WHAT?! I am going to kill him." Clare exclaimed.

"All of us will." Bianca assured her.

"Why don't we all go downstairs and have some breakfast. We can fill Clare in on what happened last night while we eat. Then after we're all fed we can go hunt down Fitz." Adam suggested as his stomach growled.

Everyone else nodded and started to get up. Eli and Drew put their jeans back on and Adam his belt, But Clare remained under the covers. They all looked at her.

"I'm not exactly dressed." Clare said shyly.

"Ok boys you go downstairs and start breakfast, Clare and I will be down shortly." Bianca said ushering out the boys. They exited the room and Bianca went to Eli's closet. She found a pair of black sweats with a draw sting and a pair of clean silk boxers and finally Eli's favorite Dead Hand shirt. She gave them to Clare. "Put these on until we can get you to your house for you to change."

Clare took the clothes and Bianca turned her back to give the timid girl some privacy. Clare slipped on the boxers, she liked the way the silk felt against her skin, she felt kind of naughty thinking that they had been so close to Eli's…well you know. Then Clare took off Eli's dress shirt to replace it with Eli's Dead Hand tee. Clare knew it was his favorite but figured he wouldn't mind. Finally Clare slipped on the sweats, they were terribly long on her, but she pulled the draw string to make them stay on her curvy hips.

"Bianca these are a little long, I'm going to trip." Clare said.

Bianca turned around and went over to her, she rolled the waist of the sweatpants over several times until the crotch was in the right place. The legs were still too long but it was better. "You'll be fine in the house, and you can put your shoes back on before we go back outside." Bianca assured her. "Now let's go see what those morons managed to scrounge us for breakfast." She held out her arm to Clare and she took it and the two girl went downstairs.

When they entered the kitchen all four boys stopped what they were doing to look at Clare. "Do I look that bad?" Clare asked Bianca quietly.

Bianca smiled, "Guys think it's hot when girls wear their clothes." Clare blushed and looked down. "So what are we eating?" Bianca asked going over to Drew.

"Eggs and bacon," Drew told her.

Clare shyly went over and stood at the kitchen counter, "Can I help?"

"You could start some coffee and get out the orange juice." Eli said. Clare nodded and started to go to the fridge, Eli caught her elbow and turned her to him. "You look amazingly hot in my clothes." He whispered in her ear.

Clare brushed and went to start some coffee.

.

.

"Okay let me get this straight, I took off my sweater and my shirt…sat on Owen's and Drew's laps…danced with Fitz…almost let some random guy have sex with me…and he still has my underwear…danced on the counter…and made out with Drew…and Bianca?!" Clare said after the five of them had finished telling her the events of last night to the best of their knowledge.

"That's right St. Clare and you are a damn good kisser." Bianca said.

"It was fucking hot." Owen chimed in.

Clare blushed but she had more questions, "Okay so how'd we get to Eli's, what happened after we were here and how'd I end up in bed with Adam and Eli with the rest of you in his room?"

"Well," Adam said taking his last bite of bacon, "after you almost went too far with that guy, and lost your underwear and then proceeded to make out with my Brother and then Bianca, we figured it was time to get you out of there."

"Wait I remember riding in the backseat of a car. Bianca we danced after we got here right?" Bianca nodded. "Then we watched a movie and…something about Princess Clare? Am I remembering that right?"

"Yep I called you that." Bianca said, "It's my new nickname for you."

"It fits her," Owen said.

"Yep I like it. I dub thee Princess Clare," Adam said sarcastically, turning in his chair and tapping Clare's shoulders with the handle of his fork. Everyone laughed and then Eli's phone rang. He fished it out of his pocket and handed it to Clare.

She took the phone without even really thinking about it. "Hello?"

"Clare thank god are you okay? I'm going to kill Fitz! Dave said he was too." Alli said in one breath.

"I'm fine Alli, Eli and the others took good care of me. But don't worry about killing Fitz; after we go to my house so I can change we're all going to go kill him." Clare assured her friend.

"Well good, call us if you want some help. I'm heading out to meet Dave now."

"I will, thanks Alli I'll call you later."

Clare hung up and they finished eating.

.

.

They all drove in Bianca's car to Clare's house, same seating arrangements as the night before. They all hopped out of the car and the others lingered on the porch while Clare went inside. She was very glad her Mom and Glen were at a church pancake breakfast that morning, Jake on the other hand was not.

"Whoa! I thought you spent the night at Alli's? Are those Eli's clothes?" Jake looked out the window to see Owen, Bianca, Eli, Adam and Drew lingering by Bianca's car. He followed Clare upstairs, she closed her door to change. "What the hell happened last night?" He shouted through the door.

She took off Eli's clothes and changed her bra to a satin blue one with matching panties. Then slipped on jeans and a white top with black polka dots, socks and tennis shoes. She opened her door to find Jake still waiting for an answer. "Too much to explain right now, and we're on a mission. Please don't mention this to Mom and Glen, I'll be home by dinner." Before Jake could react Clare slipped past him down the hall and out the door.

Everyone hopped back into the car, and off they went. Bianca parked near the dot and they began searching for Fitz in all of his regular hang outs. After a couple of hours they found him at the ravine.

"FITZ!" Eli yelled when they saw him.

Fitz stood up but didn't try to run as the group approached him. They were all giving him death glares. "Look Clare, everyone I'm really sorry. What I did was stupid and I feel awful. I never thought…"

Fitz couldn't finish apologizing because Eli's fist connected with Fitz's jaw. Fitz fell to the ground. "Get out of here Fitz! None of us want to hear your lame excuses for your idiotic behavior. Stay away from Clare and the rest of us." Eli yelled, his eyes filled with fury.

Fitz didn't even bother to argue, he just got up and ran. Clare kissed Eli's cheek, Drew and Adam gave him a gentle slap on the shoulder, their way of saying 'nice job.'

"Well I say that deserves a celebratory lunch at the dot." Bianca said and the others nodded in agreement.

.

.

The group had hung out all day, they were back at Clare's house now making sure that she was home for dinner. She said goodbye to the others hugging Adam and even Bianca. Now she was at her step with Eli who had insisted on walking her to her door.

"Eli thanks for everything you did. I'll wash your clothes and bring them to you on Monday." Clare said.

"Blue eyes I would do anything for you." Eli said.

Clare bit her lip and put her hand on the door handle, but then turned and kissed Eli. He put his arms around her waist and deepened this kiss. They could hear the others hooting and hollering from the car. After a minute Clare broke the kiss.

"See you on Monday Beautiful," Eli said.

.

.

Monday morning Jake drove himself and Clare to school. Owen and Bianca were waiting on the steps. When they saw Clare they came over, Jake gave her a sideways look but went inside. Clare said hello and hugged them both and they sat back on the steps until Drew and Adam showed up. Bianca and Drew shared a kiss and Clare hugged Adam. When she released Adam, Eli was at her side. He put his arm around her and bumped fists with Adam.

Jenna and K.C. were by the doors and marveling at the group being so friendly. They exchanged a look of confusion. Just then Alli and Dave came up to Clare and the others. Alli hugged Clare.

"I'm so glad your okay did you guys kick Fitz's ass?" Alli asked.

"He shouldn't bother any of us again." Eli assured her.

Alli and Dave smiled and went inside. Jenna looked at K.C. and whispered "Fitz?!"

The bell rang and Clare's group moved toward the the front entrance. Owen and Adam ran ahead and opened the double doors. "Allow us Princess Clare." They said in unison. The group laughed and went inside.

K.C. looked at Jenna, "Princess Clare?! What did we miss this weekend?"

The End
