Clare's POV:
I smiled as I curled under the warm blanket. I can't believe Eli and I just made love in his dressing room.
I reached for my phone to make sure Declan didn't call or come looking for me. My phone didn't show missing calls or texts so I guess he was still meeting the band…? He had been gone for a while though…

Eli's POV:
"Get off of her!" I screamed as I rushed over and pulled Declan off of Julie. I shoved Declan into the wall. I pulled my fist back to clock him but Julie stopped me.
"Eli don't!" She begged.
"Shut up!" I screamed at her.
Julie had tears falling from her eyes, "Eli please, don't, I'm sorry!"
"JUST SHUT UP!" I screamed. My hands tugged at my hair as I began to pace back forth. So this is what it felt like to be cheated on. This is why I didn't want to tell Julie. I didn't want to hurt her….but she didn't care about hurting me.
Declan finally stepped up, "Look don't be so upset, it was just a kiss, it meant nothing."
"What about Clare! How could you do this to someone as precious as Clare?" I asked.
Declan shut up after that. Pathetic.
"I have to go. Don't you dare ever come near Clare again or I will personally rip out your balls and force feed them down your throat, got it?" Declan nodded and I started to walk away.
Julie called after me, "E-Eli wait! You're my ride home!"
"Ride with your new boyfriend!" I screamed and I walked away.

How was I going to tell Clare someone hurt her like this? It hurt knowing Julie did this to me but I knew I deserved it, but Clare? Clare was the most sweet innocent girl in the world, she didn't deserve this.
I knocked lightly on the door, "Clare, open up."
I heard her light footsteps as she made her way to the door. Clare opened the door with the blanket wrapped round her so I could see her bare shoulders, "I thought you were bringing food?" She asked.
I sighed, "Clare we have to talk."
"Is something wrong…?" She asked as she bit down on her bottom lip.
I sighed, "Kinda… Clare I need to tell you something and it's going to break my heart saying it because you don't deserve this."
"Y-you're leaving me?" She asked.
"NO!" the word came from my mouth like a reflex.
Clare flinched at my tone causing me to frown, "Sorry, no, I'm not leaving you Clare, I love you, you and only you. Can I come in?"
Clare took my hand and pulled me into the room, "What's up?" She asked as she grabbed my button up shirt from the ground and buttoned it over her bare body.
I went out in just my undershirt to go get the snacks.
Clare looked at me anticipating what was coming. I sighed, "I saw Julie kissing someone…"
"What?" Clare asked.
I nodded, "This is why I wanted to wait, because I thought it would hurt for her to find out I was cheating, but when I saw her, with him…I just lost it Clare…"
Clare looked confused, "Eli who was she kissing?"
I sighed, "I'm sorry Clare, she was kissing Declan…"

Clare's POV:
My heart sank as Eli said the words. I felt so disappointed. I thought Declan was a good guy but I knew I had no reason to judge him because I was a cheater too. It still hurt.
"Really?" I asked.
Eli nodded, "I'm sorry."
I sighed, "I understand why you didn't want to do this to Julie. It does suck. How are you feeling? I only went out with Declan once, I can't imagine how you feel."
Eli smiled weakly, "It's okay…I think Julie and I both knew we weren't working. I guess that means we can be together now?"
I smiled, "Yeah I guess we can…"
Eli smiled, "Hang on." He walked to his bag and pulled out his guitar pick necklace. Eli walked over to me and got down on one knee. He held the necklace in his palm, "Clare Diane Edwards, will you be my official girlfriend?"
"What!"

Eli's POV:
"What do you mean official girlfriend!" Julie screamed. How did she get in here! I didn't even hear the door open!
Clare's eyes widened as I stood up. Clare immediately cowered behind me. I put my arm around her and pulled her tight to my side so she wasn't afraid.
"I knew something was going on! I just new it! How dare you scream at me for cheating when this has been happening all along! How long Eli!" She demanded.
"Look Julie-" She cut me off.
"Don't lie to me Eli! How long!" She yelled.
I hugged Clare tighter, "A while."
Julie nodded and I saw tears begin to form in her eyes, "I may have done this one thing Eli, but I do love you Eli…"
Shit. I never wanted to make her cry, "Julie look, I'm sorry, I never meant to-"
She cut me off once again, "Don't." She looked at Clare, "Enjoy him." She looked back at me, "I hope your happy Eli. And as for Miss. Saint Clare, you're a bitch and a slut."
