Hello to all of you readers! You all are very very amazing! I appreciate all of the reviews you give! I don't have anything to say so enjoy!

Eli's POV

Clare and I told each other I love you for the first time last night. I feel bad because it was a lie on my part. I mean I am starting to like her but I don't love her yet. Yet? No, there can be no yet! I have to break up with her in three days. I am so not looking forward to that day. I honestly don't know if I'm going to be able to do it. I have a feeling that Clare's heart isn't going to be the only heart that breaks this Friday.

"Hey dude!" Adam says as he sits next to me at the picnic table in the park. Oh by the way I went to the park right after school.

"Hey. What are you doing here? How did you know where I was?" I ask.

"I followed you here." He states.

"You followed me? Stalker much?" I teased with a smirk. He just laughs and asks,

"So how's the Clare thing going?" Crap. Why did he have to ask that?

"Terrible." I reply with a sigh.

"Oh man! Does this mean she hasn't fallen in love with you and I'm going to get the money?" He asks very excited.

"No. She has fallen for me hard." I say.

"So what's terrible?" He questions. I sigh again just very loudly this time. I stayed silent after that.

"Eli?" I still didn't answer him. I couldn't.

"Dude! Just tell me! What is so-" I cut him off when I screamed,

"Because I'm falling for her too!" He just stares at me and then just starts laughing. He is laughing? I have to break this girl's heart in a few days and he is laughing?

"Why in the world are you laughing?" He just continues to laugh. I let him finish and then ask again.

"Why were you laughing exactly?"

"You just realized, right now, that you're falling for her?" I nod at him.

"Dude, you've loved her for quite some time now." I shake my head no and say,

"No. This feeling just started when we shared the kiss after we told each other I love you."

"Okay. We will discuss the two of you saying I love you for the first time later. Right now I'm going to say this and this only. You have loved Clare for a while. Whether you knew it or not, you have. And don't go denying it. I see the way you look at her and believe me you looked at her like that long before the bet." With that he stood up and walked away. I got up from the picnic table myself and made my way home. I thought about what Adam had said. What he said couldn't be true, could it? No. No, I don't love Clare. After I got home I went straight to my backyard. In my backyard there is a tree house. The tree house my dad and I built all those years ago. I went into it and guess what I did there? Thought about Clare and more about what Adam said. All I know is that I'm just so confused right now.

Clare's POV

After school I went home. Neither of my parents was home. That is a good and bad thing. Good because it is nice and quiet without any arguing. Bad because I was lonely. After about thirty minutes of doing homework I was getting really bored. I decided that I would surprise Eli, bad thing about that is I have no idea where he is. Depending on the day and his mood Eli likes to go different places after school He normally goes home or to the park but sometimes he will go somewhere where he doesn't even know where he is. I dialed Adam's number hoping he would know where he is.

"Hello?" He answers.

"Hey Adam! It's Clare!" I reply.

"Yes, I know. The world has thing called caller i.d. now. It is a pretty magical thing." He teased.

"Ha-ha! I have a question for you." I tell him.

"Well, ask away!" He exclaims. I laugh and ask,

"Do you know where Eli is?"

"Yeah. I actually just left him. He is at the park." He says.

"Okay. Great, thanks! Bye." I was in such a rush that I hung up without hearing his response. I feel bad so I sent him a quick text telling him that I'm sorry as I made my way to the park. I looked everywhere for him but he wasn't there so I decided I would check his house. When I arrived there Cece answered the door for me.

"Oh! Clare honey! What a nice surprise! How are you?" She greets politely.

"Hi. I'm great. Um, is Eli here?" I say.

"Oh yes. He is in the tree house in the back. Go ahead and go back there!" I tell her a small thank you and then go to the back. When I got close enough to the tree house I could hear Eli talking to himself.

"What do I do? What do I do? Money or love? Happy or sad? Oh, I'm so confused." Now I'm confused.

"Eli?" I call out. He pokes his head out of the tree house.

"Hey! Come on up!" He says while smirking. I make my way up and as soon as I'm in there he pulls me into a kiss. It was short and sweet. I pull away and ask,

"What were you talking about before I came up here?" His face showed the expression of realization and he immediately became very nervous.

"Oh. I was writing a song." He answers.

"I didn't know you write songs. Actually I didn't even know you could sing." I say stunned.

"I'm not that good at either of them." He says shyly.

"Sing. Sing, what you were writing before." I demand. He looked at me like I was crazy. "What?"

"You actually think I remember what I said?" He asks. I laugh and then say,

"You said: What do I do? What do I do? Money or love? Happy or sad? Oh, I'm so confused." I sang the part he said already.

"Wow. You are a really good singer." He says shocked.

"Thanks." Guess what we did for the rest of the day? That's right! We finished writing his song! It was a lot of fun! And let me tell you, it is really really good.

Eli's POV

We wrote a song. It was a terrible time. Clare was having fun though so that made it a little better. The lyrics were actually good I do have to admit but today is Friday. Which means it has been two weeks since the bet. Two weeks since Clare and I first started dating. I really honestly don't know how I'm going to do this. I walk to her locker and wait for her to get out of class. I feel like crap and I haven't even done anything yet. I see Clare walking towards me with a bright smile.

"Hey! Look at you being all sweet. Waiting for me at my locker!" She says. She goes in for a kiss but I push her back. She looks hurt and confused. This is so much harder than I thought it was going to be.

"Clare, we need to talk." I say.

"Um, okay. What about?" I'm trying to find the words that wouldn't hurt as much but the truth is, there isn't any.

"Listen Clare. We aren't really working out. Um… I like you and all but…." I trail off. The look on her face isn't making any of this easier.

"What I'm trying to say is, uh. I'm breaking up with you." I whisper. She heard it though. I know she heard it because she is crying.

"Two weeks." She whispers but I didn't understand what that meant.

"Huh?"

"Two weeks. We have been together for two weeks. What did I do?" She says in a normal tone. She is sobbing at this point.

"Nothing! You didn't do a thing!" I try to touch her. To comfort her but she backs away.

"No. Don't touch me." She yells then walks away leaving me all alone at her locker.

"I do love you, Clare. I always have." And for the second time since the bet it was the complete truth.

Kind of depressing, huh? No worries this isn't the end of this story. How could it be? Well I still have nothing to say so,
