Situations Chapter 7

Thanks for the reviews! I'm so glad you guys liked it! I just figured out how to do the line thingy's hahaha. Anyways, on with the story! Read the authors note at the bottom please!

Summary: Eli and Clare are far from friends; they hate each other. But when hormones are added to that, could the anger and frustration towards each other become pleasure? Will it stay casual or will it lead to something more?

Inspiration- Situations by Escape the Fate :)

"She can't behave, ain't not just a slave, don't worry I'll be gone when the morning comes. Darling, what is going on? Honestly that never happened; lying is your favourite passion"

Clare's POV

"Hey Eli, have you seen Dre- WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!"

Eli and I tore our lips apart, looking up to see Adam standing in the doorway, eyes wide, mouth agape.

Eli quickly got off of me and we both sat up. Right now, I didn't really care that I was half naked in front of Adam; the only thing I cared about was how I was going to get out of this.

Adam started breathing heavy as he switched his gaze, back and forth between Eli and I.

"What- how- but you- can someone please tell me what the fuck is going on?" Adam said, getting angrier by the second.

"Uhh…" Eli started.

I chewed on my bottom lip and took a deep breath. I knew I had to do something, and only one thing came to mind; lie.

"Eli asked if he could borrow my English notes, and when I came over here to lend them to him… he came on to me." I lied.

"What!" Eli snapped towards me.

"What the fuck Eli! I knew you were messed up but what kind of sick bastard does that!" Adam began yelling at Eli.

"I didn't-

"Don't lie to me Eli!" Adam yelled.

"I'm not lying, Clare is!" Eli defended as he stood up, waving his hands around.

"Yeah, like I'm going to believe that!" Adam spat before turning to me. "Come on, Clare, I'll take you to your dorm."

I nodded and quickly got up, grabbed my shirt before throwing it on and followed Adam out of Eli's room. Just before I left the room, I glanced back at Eli. He was standing next to his bed, his hands were now in fists and his jaw was clenched. I sighed and closed the door behind me. I took a step and suddenly I heard a loud crash from Eli's room, making me jump. I sped up my pace down the hall and met up with Adam.

I knew lying was not the best way to go, but I couldn't let Adam think I am a whore. He was one of my only friends, and I couldn't lose him.

I did feel guilty for blaming Eli, but I didn't know what else to do. Besides, li and I were supposed to make it look like we hated each other, so this could just be part of the plan? Yeah right. By the look on Eli's face when I left his room, I knew this wouldn't end well. Of course, just when things were going good, I had to go and ruin them! Ugh, I hate myself right now.

Once I got to my dorm, I said goodbye to Adam and quietly got ready for bed, seeing as Alli was sleeping already. Once I crawled in bed, I sighed as I stared at the ceiling. I bit my bottom lip and reached over, grabbing my phone from my nightstand.

I dialled the number and waited for the other person to answer.

It went to voicemail.

I tried again.

Voicemail.

I sighed and began writing a text.

Look, I'm sorry; I didn't know what else to do. I'll clear things up with Adam tomorrow; I just couldn't let him think I was a whore.
-Clare

I waited impatiently for him to reply. Once my phone buzzed I quickly read the text.

Don't bother in telling him. Don't talk to me, don't call me, don't text me; just leave me alone. Oh, and guess what? I hate you… again.
P.S. you are a whore.
-Eli

I must have read that text over a million times. I couldn't stop. I can't believe he said that. I felt the tears prick my eyes and I tried to hold them back, but they ran down my cheeks anyways. I knew we weren't exclusive and that we only used each other for pleasure, but I couldn't help but feel hurt by this. I missed him already. I was over there, in his bed, with him on top of me, 30 minutes ago, and now I can never go back. I would, I definitely would, but he will never let me. Ugh, why did I have to lie? God, I am so stupid! I had to try and make this better.

I took a deep breath and replied.

Eli's POV

I'm sorry
-Clare

I stared at her text for about 10 minutes before turning my phone off and placing it on my nightstand.

I can't believe she fucking did that! I was actually starting to think of her as a friend… maybe more, but she ruined that. What the fuck was she thinking? I apologized for what I did to her and I thought we were on good terms, but I guess I was wrong.

I sighed and turned on my side, staring at the wall as I tried to go to sleep. But, I couldn't. Her scent still lingered on my bed and I couldn't get rid of it. She was here, only 30 minutes ago, and now she's gone, and most likely will never come back.

Who am I kidding? Of course she won't come back, why would she? We weren't exclusive; we were just using each other for pleasure.

…So why do I feel an ache in my chest?

I jumped a little when the door opened, signalling that Drew was home. I sighed and closed my eyes, pretending I was asleep.

"Eli, man, are you asleep-" I heard Drew say before there was a slight breaking sound. I then knew that he had stepped on the glass I broke. I was so mad at Clare that I just picked up whatever I could find and I threw it at the wall. Let's hope Drew was wearing shoes. "Eli, I know you're awake." Drew continued, making me sigh and turn over to face him.

"How did you know?" I asked.

"Well, for one, you weren't snoring."

I rolled my eyes. "I do not snore."

"…Okay, you don't snore, but you don't stay still in your sleep; you always move." Drew said, taking off his shoes and walking over to sit on his bed.

He was right; I can never stay still in my sleep. I always toss and turn. I don't really know why but I just can't stay still.

"So, why is there glass on the floor anyways?" Drew asked, going to clean up the glass.

I sighed, "I don't really want to talk about it."

"Ah, girl troubles?" He asked, putting the broken glass into the garbage.

"I guess you could say that." I sighed, "Could we just talk about this tomorrow, I'm tired." I climbed back under the covers.

"Fine, whatever dude, night." I heard Drew say.

"Night," I mumbled.

I sighed shakily and closed my eyes, only to have them flutter back open while I stared at the wall. I really wish today was Friday, but no, it had to be Wednesday. I couldn't get to sleep and I had class tomorrow, what a great combination.

Clare's POV

I finished writing my note to Alli, telling her I went to meet up with Adam, and placed it on her bed. She was in the shower, getting ready for class and I needed to see Adam, before class.

I quickly got my bag and ran out of the door. As soon as I walked out of the front doors I mentally cursed at myself for wearing shorts. The weather channel said that it was going to be nice today. Stupid bastards.

I sighed and zipped up my sweater; I was too anxious to run back upstairs to change. I began walking and I was soon at the front doors to the boy's dorm. I opened the door and walked up the stairs and down the hall until I reached Adam's door. I knocked on it, impatiently waiting for him to open up.

Soon enough the door was opened, but the person standing there was not who I was expecting.

"Clare?" Tyler asked, trying to hide a yawn.

"Hi, uh, is Adam here?" I asked, trying to take a peek behind Tyler.

"Uh, no, he left early, I don't know why though." Tyler shrugged. I knew Adam hadn't told Tyler about his situation yet, otherwise he would know that Adam takes a shower early in the morning to avoid anybody.

"Thanks," I said, getting ready to leave but Tyler stopped me.

"Wait, Clare, I was wondering if you wanted to go out sometime with me." Tyler said, pretty boldly. It was almost like he knew I would say yes.

I didn't have time to think, I just wanted to talk to Adam, so I agreed and quickly left, on my way to the Dot. Adam normally always goes to the Dot before class, so I'm hoping he's there.

Once I got to the door, I sighed in relief when I saw Adam sitting in the booth by the window, where he normally sat. I quickly walked inside and sat in front of him.

"Oh, hey Clare, what's up?" Adam asked, smiling at me.

"I need," pant "to talk," pant "to you." I answered before grabbing his water and taking a gulp.

"Did you run here?" he asked.

"Yes, but that's not the point." He nodded, telling me to continue. "It's about Eli."

"Oh, Clare, I'm sorry, I know it must be hard for you, thinking what he could have done-

"Adam!" I held my hand up, "That's not what happened."

"What are you talking about?" he asked, utterly confused.

I took a deep breath. This was it. This was the moment everything was going to come out. I didn't know how he was going to take it, but I knew I had to tell him. I can't let him think Eli did something like that. Adam was Eli's best friend, and I can't help but feel that it was my fault that Adam was mad at Eli… well, it is my fault.

"It all started at the party last week…" I began. I told him, I told him everything. From the little arrangement Eli and I made to last night. I told him how Eli apologized last week and how that suddenly led to us kissing. I told him how we would arrange meetings so we could fool around. I told him that I found out that Eli isn't really a bad guy, once you get to know him. I told him everything.

I let out a big breath when it was over and waiting for Adam's response. Adam just sat there, blinking rapidly; his mouth opening and closing repeatedly.

"Come again?" He asked finally.

I groaned and slammed my head on the table. "Please don't make me say all of that again."

"No, no, I got it the first time… but, what I don't understand is, you guys hated each other, so why the sudden attraction?" he asked, still trying to process the news.

I lifted my head and shrugged, "I guess us hating each other made it all more fun."

He nodded slowly, still not fully understanding.

Then, he asked the one question I didn't know how to answer. "So, why did you lie yesterday when I caught you?"

I looked down at the table, where I was drawing invisible circles with my finger. "I guess I felt that if you knew, you would think different of me. I mean, you knew me when I was 'Saint Clare' but now that I have changed, I thought… I thought you would think I was a whore."

Adam sighed, "Clare, this may be a little… crazy, I mean, fooling around with your nemesis and all… but you're not a whore."

I nodded, a small smile appearing on my lips, but soon disappearing as I remembered I messed things up with Eli. Things were finally going good between us and I had to go and ruin it!

"Ugh!" I slammed my head on the table.

"What?" Adam asked.

"I fucked up Adam." I mumbled before I lifted my head and stared at the table; my fingers twirling around each other. "Things were finally going good between Eli and I. Sure we insulted each other in school, but that was all an act to keep our plan a secret. When we were alone, things were good. Sometimes we wouldn't even fool around, we would just… hang out, but of course I ruined it all."

"So, you guys were becoming… friends?" Adam asked, confusion written on his face.

To be honest I didn't really know if we were becoming friends or not. I mean, I don't hate Eli… even if he hates me. I sighed, remembering he hates me, once again.

"I don't know," I sighed. "When Eli and I use to insult each other, it was because he started it, for a reason I still don't know. But… when we were alone, he was this sweet, sarcastic, funny, cute guy; it was like there was another side to him. But I liked it." I smiled to myself, my eyes still burning a hole into the table. I could feel the heat rise to my face as I thought about him. Just thinking about him makes me feel all tingly inside. It's like my stomach does a backflip.

Oh lord, what is happening to me?

"Clare," Adam said making me look up at him, breaking me from my thoughts. "I hate to be the one to break the news to you, but… you like Eli."

My eyes widened as my jaw dropped. I felt my palms start to sweat as my heart began racing. I couldn't like Eli, we were just fooling around… it was for fun. Right? I opened and closed my mouth a thousand times before finally speaking.

"N-no, no, I don't, I can't, I-I don't." I shook my head, trying to get my sudden nerves to go away.

"Clare, as much as I hate to say this, but you do; I can see it in your eyes. You light up when you talk about him, you blush at just the thought of how he acts around you, and you get nervous just thinking about having actual feelings for him. It's obvious, Clare. You like Eli." Adam said, a small smirk appearing on his lips.

I stared at Adam; It couldn't be true, could it?

I shook my head. "I don't know what you talking about." I whipped my hands on my sweater, trying to dry them. "I don't like Eli. Now, let's go, were going to be late for class."

Adam sighed and we both got up, heading out of the Dot. As we were walking side by side, Adam started snickering.

"What?"

"You liiiike him," Adam smirked.

"I do not, now shut up." I said, glaring at him.

Adam nodded, but then smiled. "You loooove him," he smirked as he nudged me.

I shook my head and turned my head away, trying to hide the blush forming on my cheeks.

"No, I don't like Eli."

It was then when I could faintly hear a voice in the back of my head, telling me that I was lying to myself.

So? How was it?

Anyways, next chapter will be in Eli's POV. It will involve his talk with Drew, and more. :)
