Hello, I didn't get 5 reviews for my last chapter and that makes me upset. So I will need 8 reviews for the next chapter. If I don't get them then I might have to quit this story, I'm not trying to be a bitch or anything but if people aren't reading this and aren't enjoying this then why must I waste my time. It's 8 reviews cause I got 2 reviews last chapter and I still need 3 and for the next chapter I need 5 so I added them and got 8! Anyway I want to thank the people that reviewed. Also I need to answer this question I went to go p.m. you and I saw that you don't get p.m's so I'll tell you on here .
Emily Laurina: I see what you're saying but you have to be patient, it's the key. So I know that you hate Julia and Eli together but its part of the story so I just wanted to tell you.
In other word here is chapter 8 of Remembering.
We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
Clare
I tried to get to The Dot as fast as possible; when I got there I saw Adam and went over to sit with him. "Hey Clare", he said waving. "Hi Adam thanks for coming." I smiled at him. "No problem, anything for you." Then a waiter came by his name was Peter and I remember a boyfriend if Darcy's that was named Peter. I asked him if he knew Darcy and he said that he had dated her, and I told him how I was her sister. He then asked how she was doing and told me that anything was in the house.
"Clare, what did you really call me over here for? Adam asked. I had totally forgotten that Adam was there. "Oh, yeah well you know how Eli and Julia were dating?" he nodded yes. "Let's just say that she doesn't like me and called me some things that Eli didn't like and you know how Eli gets."
"Where is this all going?" Adam asked confused. "Just listen, well I guess she had asked Eli if she could come over cause of reasons with her family, and Cece had invited me over for dinner. So Eli told Julia I was coming over, and she said that she would be nice. Well I had remembered the sleepover Eli, and I would have. Well Julia got pissed and said things like how she has fucked Collin and still does.
"Wait, you mean the Julia that acts all nice and sweet, but is hot-headed is sleeping with Eli's best friend?"
"You mean ex best friend Adam". Adam told me to continue so I did. "Well she then called him while I was there today, and apologized, and made up this lame ass story about how her mom makes her, and all this shit, any questions?"
"Nope, I'm good I follow, so what happened? " I took a sip of my sweet tea that Peter had brought me while I was telling the story. "Well he forgave her and I felt really pissed that he took that whore back so I told him that I needed to be home. That's when I texted you to meet me, well while I was walking here I think I saw Julia with Collin holding hands walking, but I have no idea what Collin looks like."
"Does he have shaggy black hair a little longer than Eli's and he wears all black he might be a little taller than Eli too."
"Yup, that's him, he had blown Julia off to hang out with me but I left."
"Wow, anyway you want to stay and chat a little?"
"Sure, we have a quite a bit of catching up to-do."
Eli
Clare had left really fast, it was kind of weird. I hope I didn't do anything to upset here. I decided to see if Adam wanted to hang out.
Hey, want to come over and play video games.-Eli
Sorry, man I can't kind of busy maybe later.-Adam
That was weird Adam always hung out with me when I asked him, so I called Julia and asked her to meet me at the dot. I told my mom I was leaving and she told me to be safe.
When I got to the dot I saw that Julia wasn't there but I saw that Adam and Clare were there. So I walked over and sat next to Clare which seemed to surprise here. She looked at me with a confused face.
"Um hey Eli didn't expect to see you here." I shrugged, "Julia is meeting me here because everyone bailed on me." I was kind of upset that Clare left me to go hang out with Adam. I noticed that Clare and Adam were mouthing words to each other. "What's up with you guys?" Adam and Clare turned and looked at me. Adam was the one too talk this time, "Nothing, were just talking."
"You guys can't tell me what you guys were talking about?" I was mad now, "Actually we can't Eli, not yet." Clare had spoken that time. "Whatever"- before I could finish Julia walked up. "Hey babe" she said kissing me on the lips. "Hi Adam, Hi Clare" Julia said Adam said "Hello", and Clare just smiled and said "Did you have a nice walk, I saw you when I had walked here; you know you weren't far from here why did it take you so long to get here?" Julia started glaring at Clare, while Clare just crossed her arms over her chest.
Clare
When Eli randomly came up and sat next to me I was surprised and confused, why was he here and did he hear me tell Adam about Julia, god I hope not. When Eli wasn't looking I started talking to Adam well I started mouthing words.
"What's he doing here?" I mouthed to Adam. "I don't know, he texted me and asked me to hang out but I told him I couldn't." I didn't understand all of that but before I could ask Eli had looked at us, and asked us what we were talking about. He seemed angry, probably because I left Eli to talk to Adam, and Adam couldn't hang out with him because he was with me.
When Julia walked in and kissed Eli I knew we were going to have problems. So I decided to ask her how her walk was but of course I wasn't going to mention Collin. When I asked her she gave a glare, and I just crossed my arms over my chest. Eli looked confused, "You said that your mom dropped you off." Eli sounded angry, "She did I just walked home". I don't think Eli was buying it. "Clare how long have you been here"? I thought for a minute, "about 20 minutes."
Eli reached into his pocket and pulled his iphone out he unlocked it and checked something. "Julia I called you about 15 minutes ago. "Clare how far were you from the dot when you saw Julia?" Gosh, I say one thing, and it's like I'm a criminal in an interrogation room. "I don't know like not even 5 minutes", Eli looked like he got even angrier. "Julia if Clare saw you that means when she got here I called you, and you walked home then your mom called you then that means that you wouldn't have enough time to get home and have your mom drop you off and get here in the time you that you did." Eli was practically yelling, Julia looked worried and pissed, and Adam looked like he was enjoying this.
"Julia what are you lying about, I know that it's not about walking because Clare doesn't lie, she can't." I blushed I can't believe Eli remembered that. "Why do you always talk about her?" Julia asked she was pissed just like I predicted. "Julia don't bring Clare into this again, remember what happen last ". Julia scoffed, "Whatever, babe just look I was talking to Collin." I saw Eli tense up at the shout of his ex best friend's name. I looked at Julia who had noticed that Eli had tensed up, but she just continued with her story. "I told him about how we can't be"- Eli cut her off. "You can't be what fuck buddies anymore? Hm, Julia; I thought I told you not to talk to him anymore?" I looked at Adam and he was kind of laughing, I could see why Adam was laughing this was pretty funny. It was funny to watch Julia make up these fake and pathetic stories and excuses. "Eli" I had said motioning him to get up and I pulled him away from everyone. "Please just listen to Julia hear her side of the story."
"Clare I really want to but I can't she lied to me, I really need you to tell me what you saw when you saw her." God lee I don't want to tell him, it's going to make him go crazy. So I decided to lie, "Eli I saw her walking with Collin and as I got closer he looked pretty pissed, and he was kind of like yelling at her. Then he walked away, and she started walking; she looked kind of upset."
Eli smirked at me which meant he bought it, he then surprised me by kissing me on the cheek; my cheek got warm, and I knew I started blushing. "What was that for" I asked, he shrugged "For being a good friend". Julia then walked over to us, "Everything going okay over here?" she asked while glaring at me. "Yeah everything's great Clare was just telling me to hear you out, and see what you have to say." Julia smiled "Thanks Clare" she mumbled, I smiled and nodded. She and Eli left after that, and I went back over to Adam and told him what I told Eli.
Eli
When I heard that Julia walked here, I flipped I hate having girls walk places by them self's. I have protective issues because I had this Aunt that was abusive by a boyfriend and I told her that I would protect her, and every other girl that was in my life. I haven't told Julia that because I don't want her to flip and worry, she gets like that.
I had Julia get into Morty and I dropped her off at home; I really needed to think some things through. When I got home nobody was there, my dad was probably at the station, and my mom I have no clue. I went up to my room, and sat on my bed, and grabbed my macbook. I got onto Facerange and started creeping on Collin's profile, I saw her latest status.
Just had an amazing walk with my baby (:
It said it was posted over an hour ago; Julia was already at the dot by then. That means that what Julia said was true, and what Clare had said. God, if they had been lying that would have been bad; I don't think that I would be able to trust them. I was kind of tired so I decided to take a nap. I had a dream well it was more of a flashback.
Flashback
"Eli, I really need you right now" Clare had said over the phone; "I'm sacred nobody is home and it looks like it's about to pour any minute."
"Clare, I'm sure that your parents will be home very soon; have you tried to call them?" She said yes, "They didn't answer I tried them each like 5 times in the past hour. Darcy isn't answering either." I sighed and looked at my clock it was 12:57. Her parents have never been out this late without answering their phones. I kicked the covers off of me and told Clare I would be there in less than 3 minutes; then we hung up. I had on boxers so I slid on some black sweat pants, and a Dead Hands shirt, grabbed my phone and walked out the door.
It was pouring; really bad so when I ran over to Clare's house I was pretty much soaked. She was standing outside waiting for me when I got there. We walked inside together, went up into her room and laid down in her bed. We fell asleep pretty fast; when we woke up nobody was there.
End of Flashback
Clare
Adam and I left The Dot and went our separate ways; him to the store to pick up things for his mom and me to the library to get some books to read. I entered the library and saw that there weren't very many people there. I made my way over to the Young Adult section and heard voices; voices that sounded familiar; well one of them did. "Babe you know that I love you, okay?" it was a girl I couldn't quite put my finger on who it was. The other voice then responded "I know you do, but what about the other guy? You know Eli, why haven't you broken up with him?"
Julia that's who it was, she must be with Collin. Gosh can this girl take a hint, she much be a really fucked up whore if she is going to do this to Eli. Eli is sweet, caring, protective, sexy- wait did I just say sexy? Surely I didn't mean it, well you get the point I was trying to make. I heard that the voices had stopped I looked in an empty space where a book had been removed, they were in the next row; making out. Now that's just nasty so I decided to show myself.
I walked around the book self and onto the row they were in, "Excuse me this is a library not a drive in make-out movie." They both turned and looked at me, Julia looked horrified, well she was about to be horrified because of what I was about to say next.
Well what did yall think? I think it was a pretty damn good chapter, now pretty please review. The only reason I will delete this story is if I don't get any reviews per chapter. It takes awhile to type these stories, and I need reviews to feel like people are reading this. SO don't just favorite the story favorite it and REVIEW IT ! SO Eli's flashback will mean something later on, I'm thinking about writing another story. Tell me what you think ! Till then Goodbyee .
Stay Smiling !
