Beta Reader: Zephyr Hearts :D

The car ride was silent, but not the awkward kind of silence, the silence that tells you everything is okay, and nothing could ever make you sad ever again. I felt like I accomplished the one thing I needed to in life, that there was nothing left for me to do. Nothing could make me happier then I was at this moment.

Fitz was out of my life for good now; I just hope he's never back in it. I could now be with Eli and not have to worry about Fitz coming and ruining it.

I sighed happily, rested my head on the window, and gazed at the darkening sky in complete bliss.

I shyly peeked over at Eli, and noticed he was smirking out the window. I grinned when I saw his lopsided smile that kept me going these two weeks, and turned my attention back to the brick houses passing by.

"See, that's how someone's supposed to act after they get kissed." I heard Eli point out.

I smiled, and looked in his direction. "That's because I've never been kissed like that before." I said softly.

Eli glanced at me with a confused expression. "What do you mean? You've had good boyfriends before Fitz right?" He put emphases on "good".

"Yeah… unfortunately only one." I instantly tensed, remembering KC. "but, he was a shy one… in the beginning." I whispered, fiddling with my fingers.

"Who?" He asked, curiously.

I can't believe I'm telling him this….

Eli noticed my sudden tension and glanced at me for a second, then turned his attention back at the road.

"KC Guthrie" I stated.

"You mean that jock that knocked up that pregnant chick?" He wondered.

"Yep…that's him." I sighed. "But he wasn't always a jock. Like I said, he was shy at first."

Eli pinned his eye brows together, but I continued. "He was in the "smart class" with me. And me being me, I thought that he was in the wrong one, so I asked if he was in the right class because he looked more of a skater guy, and not a type that pays attention in school."

He chuckled lightly. "Then after that, we became friends, but he had a past too. And he thought I would be like everyone else and judge him, but I didn't. After he realized that, one of my friends tried to get us together, and it worked." I sighed and slouched in my seat. "We dated for a while but then this new girl, Jenna, came and was friends with me. I noticed that she was slightly attracted to KC, but I didn't do anything about it because she was my friend, and I didn't think she would do anything. But at this carwash thing, I noticed he was paying more attention to her, and not me." I glanced at Eli, and he had an angered expression plastered on his face.

I was confused, but continued. "After that, he broke up with me, only to go right to her."

"So she stole him from you?" He asked.

"Yeah…" I sighed.

"So a slut and an ass? Great combination don't you think?" He chuckled.

I giggled, and rolled my eyes while saying "Yeah, and then he dumped her, because he 'wasn't ready to be a dad'"

He quirked an eye brow before pulling the car to a stop.

Eli POV (This starts when they enter Clare's house!)

I entered her house in a smug way. But it soon faded when I saw Julia, propping herself on Clare's couch in an annoyed fashon. I instantly tensed, and saw that my smug look, moved from my face, to hers. I hadn't seen Julia since I met Clare two weeks ago. To be honest, when I was around Clare, Julia was erased from my mind.

"You okay?" I heard Clare ask as she shut the door.

Julia got up from her position to face me. I sighed inwardly and turned around to Clare.

"Yeah, it's all good." I smiled at her.

Julia looked pissed. I sighed as I remembered how I first saw Julia.

Flashback

I was sitting on my bed, looking at all of Julia and my memories. I saw a scrapbook in the far corner of my room. I grew confused and walked over to it

Julia and Eli, forever together.

I felt tears weld in my eyes again, and took the never before seen scrapbook to my bed. I sat down, and sucked in a breath, before opening to the first page.

I was immediately welcomed by a picture of me and her. I was wearing my usual black attire, and with my arms around her waist. She was wearing a black dress, with a black leather belt wrapped around her waist and black boots, with her hair pulled back into a ponytail. We were at our favorite spot, an open field not too far from her house. We were grinning and laughing as one of our friends snapped the photo. I smiled, and turned the page.

There was the picture she took the day we met, which was the one of my hand. It was an accident, but that's how we met. I then noticed there was some writing.

I was at the theater hanging out with friends, and we wanted to take some pictures before the movie started. I pulled out my camera, and everyone posed for me to snap the photo, but just as I was about to take the picture, somebody bumped into me, which caused me to tumble to the floor. I looked up, and was welcomed with bright green eyes. I was lost in them, and he instantly apologized. I looked around after he helped me up, and noticed all my friends gone, but staring and giggling at us from behind the corner.

I looked at the camera, and giggled at the picture of his ring covered hand in the photo.

I looked at him; smiling and he tilted his head to the side cutely, and asked "What?"

I showed him the picture, and he chuckled.

I smiled softly, and turned the page. I grimaced when I saw the picture she took on our first date, and our first kiss. I closed my eyes and closed the book.

When I opened them, I saw her, sitting on the bed with her hand pressed to the book.

"J-Julia?" I questioned.

Her head snapped up, and looked at me confused.

"Y-you can see me?" She gasped.

I nodded slowly, and saw as she grinned. I went to hug her, but was saddened when my hands ran right through her.

"You're the only one that can see me…" she whispered.

"I don't get it….I never saw my grandma….or uncle… or my dead hamster, why can I see you?" I questioned.

"I don't know…"

"B-but you're dead!" I stuttered.

She nodded slowly…and wiped her face.

I spent most of my time of those 7 months in my room, just talking to her. CeCe and Bullfrog noticed that I was acting strangely and wanted me to have a fresh start. I refused to through anything away, and Julia never helped me with that. I felt like I would hurt somebody badly, or myself if anything I owned left my possession. I remembered when I wanted to through away popcorn buckets, but I remembered the theater, and I went to through it away. But when I tried to put It in the trash can, I thought of all my friends, or somebody walking along the street getting run over or dying because I threw it away. I ran in my head all of these possible scenarios on how somebody could die, because I threw away something that I owned.

Julia never did anything to help me, just let things accumulate in my room.

The last time I saw her, was the day I met Clare.

She was waiting in my room, like she always does. And I remembered that this was the first day in 7 months that I have gone without thinking about her. I realized that Julia wasn't the one for me, but I loved her still, and I always will, but no matter what, we still would've had that fight and broken up. I just wish it went differently.

I sat next to her, and brought up the fight that we both have been procrastinating on bringing up.

"Julia, no matter what happened; we still would've broken up, somehow. I still think it was my fault for you dying, because I really didn't mean those things I said. You died too young, and I wish you wouldn't have. You didn't even get to experience anything that would've happened later in life, and I wish that you could. "

"But Eli, we're meant to be together!" She sobbed.

"I'm ready to let go of you Julia, I've moved on. I still love you, and I always will, but I can't keep holding on to you."

She got a look of shock on her face, and she grew angered.

"You met another girl huh?" She questioned sadly.

I looked down and sighed. "Julia, please, just move on…I want you to be happy" I whispered.

"I was happy with you, Eli" She then got up, and disappeared.

End flashback.

"How did you know?" Clare asked, breaking my thoughts.

I sighed, and looked away from Julia. She came up and stood next to me, with a wondering look on her face. She looked at Clare, and studied her.

"Clare, when we were working together these past few weeks, every time I brought up Fitz, you tensed up and changed the subject quickly. I've suspected something was up ever since you told me you 'hit your head on the mailbox'. You're distant with him, and you acted like you actually hate him. And when he blew up at you today, I followed you and him here, and I saw him pull that gun out. I couldn't just let anything happen you."

Julia huffed, and crossed her arms. "Oh." Was all Clare said. "Wait, why do you care anyway?"

I smirked, and ignored Julia. She needs to know that I've moved on.

I stepped closer to Clare.

"Because, when I met you, you intrigued me, I couldn't just let him hurt you, the whole time during school today; I was so worried about you... When I came up to you and startled you, I was actually just keeping an eye on you then making sure Fitz wouldn't hurt you." I explained to her with as much emotion I could muster. "No," She whispered, and backed away from me. I turned confused. Did she not get what I just told her? She shook my head. "Nobody cares about me."" "Clare," I said, about to explain to her again, but she interrupted me. "No! Nobody cares about me! Fitz even said so. Neither does my mom and dad!" She screamed at me. "She just left me without a goodbye, just telling me that she was leaving! She didn't even care that Fitz beat me! Nobody cares! Nobody— she stopped mid-sentence, when I pulled her face close to mine. She blinked curiously. And I smirked at Julia, who instantly looked jealous. "I care Clare." I whispered. "If you would stop talking so much you would know that." Then I eagerly pressed my lips on hers. I felt a wave of sparks flood between us, and I felt her shocked body melt into mine. She slowly wrapped her arms around my neck, and I guided my hands from her cheeks, to her waist. I felt her gasp when I ran my tongue on her bottom lip. This kiss was nothing like I've ever experienced before. Sure, Julia's kisses were amazing, and shocked me at times, but this one was ten times more of a shock then hers. Clare tugged at my bottom lip, and I gladly opened up to her. When her tongue met mine, I was in heaven. I pulled away slowly, still enduring the kiss. I felt Clare shudder and I opened my eyes, only to be me with a pair of hazel ones looking at me with a hurt expression. Julia covered her mouth with her hand, and shut her eyes tightly. I placed my forehead on Clare's, and smiled softly. "I need to show you something, err, someone." I said. I felt her nod, and I grabbed her hand and led her out to Morty. I noticed Julia smirk as we entered.

XXX

I glanced at Clare, who was gazing out at the window happily. I heard her sigh, and I looked in the back of Morty, through the rearview mirror. Surly enough, Julia was there, looking at the pillow that used to be hers I kept back there, adoringly. I noticed Clare peek at me, and then grinned out the window. "See, that's the way someone's supposed to act when they get kissed." I pointed out, "That's because nobody's kissed me like that before." She stated. I grew confused, and looked at her questionably. "What do you mean? You've had good boyfriends before Fitz right?" I made sure to put emphasis on good. "Yeah… unfortunately only one." She instantly tensed. "But, he was a shy one… in the beginning." She whispered, looking down at her hands.

"Who?" I asked, curious. I wondered if he was as much of an ass as Fitz was.

"KC Guthrie" She sighed.

I remember walking around the school, him glaring daggers at a pregnant chick. I heard from the schools gossip that he knocked her up, and then dumped her.

"You mean that jock that knocked up that pregnant chick?" I asked, stunned.

"Yep…that's him." She sighed. "But he wasn't always a jock. Like I said, he was shy at first."

I pinned my eyes together, and let her continue. "He was in the "smart class" with me. And me being me I thought that he was in the wrong one, so I asked if he was I the right class because he looked more of a skater guy, and not a type that pays attention in school."

I chuckled. Such a Clare thing to do…

"Then after that, we became friends, but he had a past too. And he thought I would be like everyone else and judge him, but I didn't. After he realized that, one of my friends tried to get us together, and it worked."

So she doesn't judge….I guess I could trust her. What am I saying…I know I can trust her!

"We dated for a while but then this new girl, Jenna, came and was friends with me. I noticed that she was slightly attracted to KC but I didn't do anything about it because she was my friend, and I didn't think she would do anything. But at this carwash thing, I noticed he was paying more attention to her, and not me."

I was angry, and clenching the steering wheel tightly. Why does every guy she dates, end up hurting her? It doesn't make sense! I vow, to never hurt her, any way at all possible.

"After that, he broke up with me, only to go right to her." She mumbled

"So she stole him from you?" I questioned..

"Yeah…" she sighed.

"So a slut and an ass? Great combination don't you think?" I chuckled, and she giggled.

"Yeah, and then he dumped her, because he 'wasn't ready to be a dad'"

I raised my eyebrow before stopping the car at its destination.

I get startled when Julia sat in the back seat, staring at me intensively. I sighed as I thought,

What is Clare going to think about Julia?

I hopped out of the car, and went to the other side to open Clare's.

"Soyez bienvenus au Goldsworthy mannor!" I said to her, while raising my arm in the direction of my home

She giggled, "I didn't know you knew French" She said, while looking around.

I pulled her wrist, while rolling my eyes. I then shut the door to Morty, then using the remote to lock it. I heard Clare giggled at the funny "Beep" Morty made.

"There are a lot of things you don't know about me…" I sighed, but smirked.

"I didn't know you knew French either?" I said in more of a questioning tone to her.

"Hmmm, touché" She smiled.

I smirked and unlocked the door. She stepped in, and smiled at her surroundings. CeCe and Bullfrog came out from the kitchen and smiled as she met with the eyes of the blue-eyed beauty next to me.

"Well, who's this?" CeCe asked, wiping her hands as she walked out and towards us. I glared at her. She knew who she was.

"This is Clare mom." I said, rolling my eyes.

Bullfrog got up from the table, and made his way over to us.

"So this is the Clarabelle that we hear you brag to uh….that video game kid whenever he comes over?" He asked.

I blushed, and looked down as I nodded. I heard Clare giggle, and I sighed.

"You can call me CeCe sweetheart. This is Bullfrog." Mom said.

Clare nodded and shook their hands. I didn't want to be embarrassed any longer by them so I said, "We'll be in my room."

CeCe smiled and nodded slowly. Knowing I was talking about showing Clare the big mess in there right now. I never told them I could see Julia, I didn't want them to think I was even crazier then I was.

"Okay, well I'll call you two down for when dinners ready." CeCe said, and Bullfrog went back to the paper he was reading.

I nodded and took Clare by the wrist and dragged her up the stairs to my room, while she yelled "Nice to meet you!" while giggling.

I saw she looked confused at the lock, but I didn't need it anymore, so I unlocked it, and threw it down the hall. She was about to question it, but as I opened the door, she gasped.

I felt as her hand grasped mine, but my attention was to the black haired girl that I once thought I would be with forever, propping herself on the dresser, gazing at me, and glaring at Clare.

So, Less Life, Were you surprised? LOL aha more intense stuff to come :D and You didnt think that was the end of Fitz did you? x3
