Chapter 4 Enough is Enough

Part 2

Eli's POV

Why does whatever Tyler say effect me so much? Simple Eli, because you know she's right. There was no denying it because she was and I didn't want to admit that I was in the wrong. I was losing Clare in a way that I could never have imagined. How could she believe all the lies?

Lunch was terrible I couldn't even look at Tyler, let alone Clare. So I settled for my mashed potatoes. I could feel Tyler's eyes burning holes in me but I didn't react, I just kept playing with my food. Not nearly as exciting as it sounded but it was better then my other choices.

Adam was filling my inbox with texts like "Dude whats going on?" "hello? Earth to eli answer me!" "come on dnt be an ass" "ok I c u reading my txts just answer 1!" "it doesn't matter what u say just answer me Eli!" "fine b like that but I will find out" but I didn't answer any of them - just open, read, delete, open, read, delete, open, read, delete, for all of them.

I knew Adam wouldn't give up on finding out the answers to what was going on but I believed that he wouldn't find them. No matter how hard he tried.

That was the only thing keeping me remotely calm about the whole situation.

Getting into Morty my phone buzzed in my pocket. Angrily I pulled my it out of my pocket and threw it at the passenger door across from me expecting it to have been Adam again. I wasn't in the mood for him right now. Though when it hit the door and landed back down on the seat it opened up and I saw that it was Tyler.

"Hey Eli its Ty gonna hang out with Adam so ya dnt need that ride home" I had gotten over Tyler and Adam being friends because he really could use just a few more. I was just jealous she was fitting in so well on her first day compared to when I came and choose to befriend my friend.

I was in my room listening to some rock song when a bad thought hit me. What if Adam got the answers he was looking for from Tyler? Shit I had to find them before she spilt the beans and ruined everything.

Adam's POV

Instead of going to my house Tyler and I went exploring in the woods behind the school. We were having fun even if we hadn't found anything yet beside a broken skateboard that actually belonged to Eli. It was the perfect time to ask her what was going on with all my friends.

Stopping to sit on a tree stump I gathered all my courage and asked her the question that had been invading my head all day. "What's going on today?"

Tyler turned her head towards me and asked me what I meant. She looked amazing right then and I wished I had a camera with me - the one on my phone got broken because of my brother Drew. Tyler was crouching in front of a small group of wild flowers in all shades of blues, yellows, whites, and pinks. Her left hand was on the ground holding her steady while her right hand was wrapped around the stem of one of the smaller blue flowers. She bent her head down to get a little whiff of it's fragrance. The sun was shinning down on her Auburn hair making it glow. It was a perfect moment. She was beautiful. She looked just perfect.

"With you, Clare, and Eli." she made a little noise like 'oh' and stood up somberly. The moment was gone, it was lost forever because of my question. Awesome.

Tyler leaned up against a tree letting out a long sigh. "If you want the whole story you might be here a while." I nodded and she started to tell it. Whatever 'it' was.

Tyler's POV

"Well first off you need to know that Clare thinks me and Eli are dating or seeing each other or some junk like that because of Alli," when I said Alli's name I made a big eye roll because she messed everything up for Eli, Clare, and me. "who thought it and got it stuck in Clare's head. Though it's not true I mean ew."

"Oh okay, why ew?"

Sighing I answered his question, "Well that leads to my next point. I say ew because well umm," I was kind of scared to actually say it and I was worried what his reaction would be. "me and Eli are like, well…Eli and me are cousins so that would be really gross. I mean hello incest!" that's when Adam cut in.

"Wait Cousins? You guys are cousins?"

"Umm yeah…"

"Well that explains why you look a like…wait how come you guys never said anything about it?"

"Well I'm getting to that but please no more questions till the end because I'll probably answer them. Kay?" Adam zipped his lips shut and threw away the imaginary little key and gave me the nod to keep going.

"So I came here from America - which you know - and you also know I'm staying with family. That family just happens to be the Goldworthys; CeCe, Bullfrog, and Eli. I guess he was worried about what you guys would think when you found out why I was here and that we were related. You know how he can be sometimes, so he got this idea in his head that my problem would become his problem and it would be one to many for Clare and well basically bye-bye relationship." It felt good to actually tell someone the truth for once about everything, especially since it was Adam I was telling.

"What's the prob - oh whoops sorry." Adam said apologizing.

"The reason I'm here though is because I - " my phone rang right when I was about to tell Adam the truth. Of course it was no other then Eli. I mouthed 'just a minute' and backed up out of hearing distance.

"Yeah hello?"

"Where are you?" he sounded stressed.

"I sent you a text." didn't he get it? "Check your phone."

"Oh I got it but where are you."

"That's non of your business Eli and you know it."

"You're my cousin so it is my business. Anyways Adam's going to try and get the truth about what's going on with everyone out of you."

I felt used now but I wasn't going to let Eli know that or he would win, "Chill killer. Don't worry I can handle myself."

"No Tyler please I want them to hear it from me, just stay away from him or at least that subject please." I could here the desperation in his voice but I wasn't going to give in. This had gone for long enough.

"Like I said I can handle myself Eli."

I heard him scream my name into the phone but I ignored him. "Goodbye Eli." with that I hung up and walked back over to Adam.

"So your using me just to get what you want to know." I crossed my arms, like I told Eli I can handle myself, now if only he would trust me for once.

"No! Tyler you know that's not true. I'm not using you I wouldn't do that." I was hurt; no I was crushed. How could I believe him now? Because it all made perfect sense right now to me. I turned away I didn't want to look at him and I didn't want him to see my eyes watering.

"Tyler, you were my friend before any of this happened with the three of you. Please don't get upset." How can I not be upset you Duffus. I thought.

Adam walked up behind me and put his hand on my shoulder but I shook him off. "No. Don't touch me. I trusted you Adam, I thought, I thought I could tell you, but you just wanted to know so you wouldn't feel left out. That makes me sick."

"Tyler no that's not true and you know it."

"I don't want to hear it. Eli was right being friends with his friends would just lead to trouble." I picked up my bag and started to walk away. I had been walking for a few minutes and was almost out of the woods when I heard a branch snap from behind me. Adam was following me. I spinned around hopping I was wrong that it was some forest animal but I was right, there was Adam.

"What the hell! Just…just go away Adam. Leave me alone." I was on the verge of breaking down and crying and I didn't want him to see. He turned and started to walk away. "Don't even think about telling anybody that me and Eli are cousins either."

He just kept walking with his hands in his pockets till he was at the end of the block. He turned to look at me with a sad look but I just glared at him; so he just kept going.

I turned away once Adam was out of sight and started my way back to the school. I dragged my feet all the way there, kicking anything I could that was in my path. I stepped onto the school parking lot and say down on one of the millions of benches and pulled out my phone.

"Hello?" asked the person on the other line.

"Hey it's me Tyler." I didn't sound nearly as glum as I felt.

"Oh Tyler what's wrong? Are you okay?"

"Yeah Aunt CeCe, I'll be fine. Though do you think you could come and get me?" I didn't want to interrupt her from anything and I didn't want to be a pain in her side either.

"Sure honey, where are you at?"

"The school parking lot."

"Okay I'll be there in a little bit, stay there."

"Okay, thanks CeCe. Bye"

"Bye sweetie." I hung up after that I didn't feel like waiting to hear her end click off.

I put my phone in my bag and got comfortable as best I could on a metal seat. How could I be so stupid to believe Adam? The only reason he wanted to know was so he wouldn't feel left out with what was going on between everyone and it hurt. It hurt a lot actually. I didn't want to see him ever again.

CeCe pulled up in Eli's hearse. I was kind of confused until I remembered that her car had broke down and was in the shop while Bullfrog had the other one because he was at work. Gathering up my stuff and what was left of my dignity I opened the passenger door.

Surprisingly Eli was sitting there. I couldn't help but wonder why he wasn't driving then. Aunt CeCe probably just made him come along since it was his car. Shutting the door I backed up.

I couldn't even look him in the face, he probably thought I had told Adam everything; if he wouldn't have called I probably would have though. I got in back and starred out the window the whole ride home.

Eli's POV

(were gonna go back a little to were Tyler hung up on him.)

"Tyler! Tyler!" I screamed into the receiver of my cell phone though she just ignored me and said goodbye then hung up. "Damn it!" I pounded my fists on the steering wheel.

Where could she be? I checked Adam's: no one. The park: just someone walking their dog and a few joggers. Our house: nope just my mom. I even checked at Clare's house but no one answered me. She was probably still upset with me. I looked all over town for her she wasn't at the Dot, the book store, or that second-hand clothing store she liked so much because it was 'vintage' across the street from the school. I couldn't find her anywhere. Finally I just gave up and went home.

I was about to tell my mom when she told me she needed my car. "What for?"

"Tyler just called she needs me to come and get her." Oh okay. That's cool I guess. I tossed her my keys and made my way up the stairs, halfway up I turned back to my mom who was putting on her jacket. "What is it honey?"

"Where was she?" picking up her purse she opened the door and looked back at me.

"If you want to know you'll have to come with me." I sighed walking back down the stairs. Of course CeCe would pull something like this. She was my mom after all I had to of gotten it from somewhere.

It only took a few minutes of driving for me to find out. She was at the school. The one place I didn't look because it was too obvious; or at least I thought it was but I guess not.

Tyler was sitting on a silver bench in front of the school, she gathered up all her stuff - phone, ipod, bag, and jacket - and came walking over to the car. She opened the passenger door and was surprised to see me. She just stood their for a minute like she didn't know what to do. I studied her closely to see if I could tell if she told Adam anything. I couldn't pick up on anything but I did notice the smeared make-up and glistening tear trails on her cheeks.

Closing my door back up she got in back. I turned around to look at her but Tyler just starred out the window.

Once we got home she went running up stairs and slammed her door shut. I looked over at my mom who was looking at me for an answer. All I could do was shrug. I didn't have one. "Did she say anything about what happened when she called?" I followed CeCe into the kitchen.

"No, she just asked me to come and get her and that she'd be fine." CeCe looked at me again as if I'd have all the answers to why she was acting like this. Well I didn't. CeCe turned back around and started to fill a pot with water and set it on the stove for supper. I went up the stairs with intentions of going into my own room but when I opened the door it didn't feel right; so I went to Tyler's door instead.

I knocked first there was no answer. "Tyler? I know your in there and we need to talk." I heard the floor boards creek as she walked to the door, then creek again as if she had changed her mind. "I know your upset, and I'm not mad but we do need to talk about all of this." Actually I was mad but I needed to make sure she was okay first before I said anything that I would regret later.

The door opened slowly, Tyler looked at me to make sure I was alone then walked back to her bed with her head down. I followed her in, shutting the door behind me. "Tyler…" I didn't know what to say so I stopped talking and sat down in her desk chair.

"I'm sorry Eli." she sniffled as she spoke.

I guess she told him then.

"It's fine Tyler. Are you okay though?"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." She stopped to blow her nose which kind of grossed me out a little but I stayed where I was. "I'm just fine." I got up and went over to her. I sat down next to her and wrapped my arm around Tyler's shoulder.

"What happened with Adam?"

Tyler looked down at her hands as she clenched and unclenched her fists. Finally she looked up at me. "I didn't tell him Eli, I swear I didn't tell him everything…"

"Everything?" I was confused.

"Umm well he knows we're cousins but when I was gonna tell him why I was here you called right before I could and you know what happened over the phone. So once I hung up I accused him of just using me to get what he wanted to know so he wouldn't be left out of what was going on with everyone."

I pulled Tyler into a hug whispering how sorry I was for her in her ear over and over.

"It's okay Eli, I mean it's not your fault or anything." as an after thought she added, "Well not really." we both smiled.

"What did he tell you?" she let out a long breath in response to my question.

"Well umm…oh yeah he said he wasn't using me that he wouldn't do that and that we were friends before any of this happened." I nodded.

"Well Tyler you should know he probably wasn't," she stood up so I quickly finished what I was going to say before Tyler got away. "because you were his friend I mean come on he only has like what? Four, maybe…? Counting you. I don't think he'd risk a friendship like that. At lunch today he kept texting me asking what was going on and that he was gonna find out. Adam probably just wanted to fix things between everybody - his friends." sighing she dropped to the floor with her legs spread out in front of her.

"Well maybe your right, but why couldn't he have just said that? I would of told him the truth."

"Lets just tell them the rest together okay? Maybe then everything can go back to normal." I rose from her bed.

"Ha normal, riiight." I was at the door when she said one last thing to me, "I told you I could handle myself Eli."

Chuckling a little I said, "Yeah I know you can Ty."

Tyler's POV

It was Friday morning and I was nervous because I hadn't seen Adam, Alli, Clare, or even Eli all day. Eli had said that we would tell them the truth and I assumed that he meant today but I guess not. Walking down the hall to my Math class my nervousness grew. This is the class I have with Clare and I sit right next to her. Were partners on the project too! Oh my God how are we going to get through that if we can't even look at each other?

Though when I got into class she wasn't there. Our teacher even skipped over her name during role call. Something she only did if they were home sick. Was she not here because of me? Thankfully though we were almost done with our project and I finished with over an hour left in class.

I asked the teacher if I could go upstairs to the library and do some research since I was done with everything. Surprisingly she let me. "Just don't be late to your next class Tyler." she said while handing me the note. Wow. That was easy.

~End of Day~

Their wasn't a sign of anyone for the rest of the day. At lunch I was worried I'd have to sit alone but once I sat down at my usual table Jenna, her boyfriend K.C., Alli's boyfriend Drew, and a whole bunch of other people came over to sit with me. All of them were popular or seniors so I was surprised they came to sit with me. I guess Jenna wanted to get to know the new girl and they all just tagged along.

No one seemed to know about what was going on with Clare, Alli, Eli, Adam, and me. Not even Drew. Though I was just happy to not be sitting alone; plus I made some new friends.

I was walking out of the building and down the front steps when I heard Clare shout my name. I looked around but I didn't see anyone so I thought that I had just imagined it. A few seconds later I heard it again; this time I saw an out of breath Clare running up to me with Adam behind her.

"Uhh yeah?" I was getting nervous again, what was she going to say to me?

"Hey Tyler so um, Adam told me you guys got in a fight yesterday." He better not of told her anything!

My blood was boiling I was so mad at Adam now, "What did he tell you?"

"That you guys got into a fight?" I guess that's all she knew.

"And?" I just wanted to get this over with and go home. Glancing at Adam for the first time since we started talking I saw him standing behind Clare awkwardly. He was looking down at his shoes and wouldn't make eye contact with me. His shoulders were slumped, it was obvious to anyone who looked at him that he was upset.

"Well he said it was about Eli." she crossed her arms, any hint of friendliness gone. "So I want to know why you two were talking about my boyfriend." Wow Clare could actually be tough when she wanted to.

"Hmm here's a hint of you. Ask your boyfriend!" I rolled my eyes. I was so over all of this drama.

"He won't tell me anything. He said it's nothing." she looked down at the ground, her tough attitude slipping away.

"Then you should believe him, he's never done anything unless he thought it would keep you safe. It just one of those times you need to trust him." I took a risk on the last part, honestly I didn't really know that for sure but she seemed to believe it. "Anyways why don't you just ask Adam, he's right there." I put my hand out pointing to him.

"He won't tell me anything either." I couldn't believe it but I was actually starting to feel bad for Clare. Sure she was accusing me of stuff that wasn't true but I know how it feels to not know or understand what's going on around you.

Right when I went to open my mouth a familiar black hearse drove in through the parking lot. Eli. He could help with this, we could finally tell them what was going on. I shouted his name and waved my arms in the air trying to get his attention. People around me looked at me like I was some circus freak. He couldn't hear me though, he had his music up to loud.

Eli pulled into a parking spot and turned off his car; everything got a notch quieter. "Eli! Come here!" this time he heard me and came jogging over.

"What?" panting out of breath he looked up at me not even noticing the other two. I looked over at them and so did he. "What are they doing here?"

I avoided his question. "Where were you today?"

Standing up as he spoke, "I ditched."

"Then why are you here now?" Eli could really be confusing at times.

"To pick you up, duh." he said it like I was stupid. So Eli would ditch school but still come back at the end of the day to pick up his cousin from school. He was strange.

"Well it's time to tell them." he gave me a look like right now wasn't the right time. "Now Eli. Were both here and so are they."

"Fine. But not here." we all walked to a park near by. Everyone was silent, Eli leading us with me behind him, then Clare with Adam dragging his feet behind her. In the few minutes of silence it took to get to the park I thought.

I thought about everything that had brought me here in the past two years, all the pain, and the lies, and…disappointments. It was almost to much to handle. It would be unbearable if I didn't have my family here in Canada. Looking back at Adam my heart sank. I had yelled at him, I basically said I wasn't going to be his friend anymore. I couldn't even get over my own pain to listen to his side of the story. I was disgusted with myself, I hurt someone I cared about. Probably the only person here outside of family I could really talk to and I blew it.

We walked over to some trees away from everybody else in the park. "Now tell me whats going on." Clare's voice cut through the silence.

I looked at Eli and he gestured for me to go ahead. "Well Adam already knows this but me and Eli are not going out and he's not cheating on you Clare. That'd be gross and illegal. I mean hello? Incest!" Clare's face dropped I could only guess that she was trying to figure out how we were related. I glanced back at Adam, who was still looking at the ground. "Umm Clare are you okay?"

She sat down on the cool grass at my feet next to Eli. "Yeah, yeah I'm fine…I'm just, I'm really sorry I didn't believe you guys. I feel like such a jerk." Her curls were blowing in the wind and they covered her face making it impossible to see how she really was feeling. Eli wrapped his arms around her trying to comfort her.

"It's cool I would of done the exact same thing. You handled it surprisingly, good. A lot better then anyone else would of." Eli rubbed her back and she looked up at me. "Your tough."

"You don't hate me?"

I shook my head and fell to the ground exhausted. It had been such a long week, so many emotions were involved. Adam was the only one left standing. He saw me looking at him and looked away to his left at some kids running around playing tag. I was done with everyone's moppie depressed moods for a while. Reaching up I grabbed his lower arm and pulled him to the ground to sit with the rest of us.

"Uh Eli you can take it from here I'm starting to get annoyed by my own voice. Anyways you wanted to tell them so here you go." I flopped back down on my back and looked up at the clouds. I heard Eli sigh and shift positions in the grass, looking over at him he was still holding Clare's hand. I focused back on the sky.

"Okay Ty, well you both know she's from America right? Okay well first off were cousins. Clare, Adam just found this out yesterday. Tyler had to move to Canada because of something that had happened a little over two years ago at her home." He was easing them into the problem that was my life. Neither of us could predict how they would react to this. Eli started to get to the real reason why I was here and I started to panic inside. I haven't really actually talked about what had happened in months outside from therapy. Focusing on my clouds I tried to block him out.

"She had gone to a friends house to spend the night leaving her parents and little brother at home…

The whole memory came flashing back to me even though I had tried to block out Eli's words.

"Bye mom! I'm gonna go to Jessie's house now!" When there was no answer to my shouts I walked over to the stairs and shouted again, "I'm leaving!"

My little brother Liam came running around the corner and plowed into me knocking me down to the ground. Laughing he got off of me so I could stand up. Once I was on my feet again he hugged me really tight - almost knocking me down again - as if it was goodbye for ever. "I'm gonna be back in the morning Lee." I ruffled his hair.

"I know that boot I gonna miss you." I couldn't help but smile at him, he was only four and was still learning how to talk.

My mom came down the stairs in a blue dress her hair a mess; she had been painting. No wonder she didn't hear me hollering, she could really get into her art. "Bye honey have fun. Stay safe." I gave her a hug.

"I will mom, where's dad?" she pointed the garage rolling her eyes; he was always in there working on one of his trillion vintage cars. Going back up stairs Liam followed her. I went out to the garage.

Stepping inside at first I didn't see him. I almost left till a saw a pair of feet sticking our from underneath the front of the car. He rolled out from underneath the hood wiping his hands on an oily rag. "What do yea need kiddo." he called his kids stuff like that all the time, kiddo, sport, son, sometimes I wondered if he did it because he couldn't remember our names.

I pointed my thumb to the door behind me. "I'm leaving for Jessie's house." He nodded and got up giving me a hug. He didn't say all the stuff mom did when I would leave. He knew I'd stay safe after what had happened to Julia, Eli's girlfriend. It felt good that he trusted me. Turning back to the car I walked out of the garage side door and out into the yard.

Avoiding the muddy spots I got to the curb and got into Jessie's mother's car.

It was really late now and I couldn't sleep. We were laying on a blow up mattress in Jess's basement and I couldn't fall asleep. Looking at a clock hanging on the wall it said it was already three in the morning. "Come on Tyler just close your eye's and go to sleep." and that's exactly what I did.

We woke up to her mom running down the stairs yelling at us to get up. "What's wrong Mrs. H?" I asked but she just shook her head telling us to hurry up and get dressed.

"We need to go. Now. Hurry up you two." she was being awful bossy. Jessie and me exchanged looks and quickly threw on clean clothes. Something wasn't right but she wouldn't tell us anything.

Then we were in the car driving it the police station, I was confused and I was starting to get scared. Mrs. H wasn't telling us anything and it wasn't helping. We walked inside and she told us to sit down while she went to go to talk to an officer at the front desk.

"What do you think is going on?" I asked my best friend, it was her mom after all she would know her better then I would.

"I don't know Ty." we sat there a long time, Mrs. H had disappeared with a group of officers to a place behind a large metal door. The only noise coming from us was our breathing. People were talking and walking around, everything was muffled to me. Their voices and their shuffling footsteps. Except for the ticking of a large clock across the room.

"I'm scared Jess." She hugged me whispering in my ear that she was too. After that her mom came back out with tears in her eyes but she tried to hide it with a smile.

"They need to talk to both of you girls. Okay?" she said to us. She wouldn't answer Jessie when she asked what was going on.

They took us to separate rooms and broke the news to us. Someone had broken into our house late last night early morning. "Are my parents okay? What about my little brother?" I remember asking but they just gave me sad looks. They knew something I didn't and I was sick of not knowing what was going on. "TELL ME!" I shouted pounding on a metal table. I regretted it instantly my hands started to bleed and throb with pain.

They had to hold me down. They were trying to get me under control but I wouldn't cooperate. Not till someone told me what was going on. A lady stepped forward and started talking. "He went upstairs and murdered your parents. I'm sorry Tyler." I was crying and screaming like I was a little kid. "My brother! What about my brother!" I kept asking them but she just shook her head and looked away. 'He's dead! Oh my God no! This can't be true it's gotta be a joke. At least…no not my brother too.' I thought.

A tall guy with dark black hair kneeled down in front of me. "He didn't kill him. But we didn't find him at the scene of the crime. We think he abducted him that's all we know right now." A crime scene? That was my house. At the very least it was a tragedy.

I felt like I was being pulled away from reality like in a dream. Though this was no dream it was a nightmare and it was all coming true. After that I don't remember anything just lots of people. So many names that they expected me to remember, hotel rooms to stay in while they did their job at my house. Then going back just to get clothes and back to a different hotel. Just incase the killer tried to come back and finish the job, if he knew about me. Incase this was premeditated and wasn't just a random killing, he could come back for me. The cops didn't want that because I was the only person who could help them with the case. All the nights ending in tears and screams and me questioning God's existence.

If he was real then why was he putting me through all of this?

They were all looking at me. I didn't notice Eli had finished talking. By the look on Adam and Clare's faces he must have told them. Now they knew everything. The memories were fresh in my head again like it had all just happened. It was unbearable. "I'm so sorry Tyler." Clare whispered reaching out her hand but pulling it back at the last second unsure of what to do. I thought I saw pity in her eyes. I didn't want anyone's pity I had had enough to last me a million lifetimes.

"It's okay it's not your fault." I didn't dare look back at Adam one glance at his horrified face was enough I didn't want to look at him again. "Umm I kind of spaced out there but I'm guessing Eli told you everything?" I looked at Eli who quickly nodded yes. Clearing my throat a braced myself for what would happen now.

Wow that was really long! Anyways answer my question from the top in the reviews that would be great and even just review this chapter/story because it means a lot to me. I give you hours of my time it wouldn't hurt to give me a few minutes of yours. If you do i'll give you a cookie! :D P.S. this whole thing is 6,446 words long. the longest i've ever written in one chapter like 10 pages on my computer! But your all worth it(:
