Here's chapter 9 :) PS, Adam is NOT in their English class in this story!
Eli's POV
I was sitting in my current class, bored out of my mind. I wasn't even listening to the teacher, just mindlessly coloring my nails with my black sharpie. Thinking, what does Julia really want from me or Clare, even? Does she want to ruin my newly happy life? While thinking, I noticed that Clare isn't here. It's forty minutes into the 80 minute class and she's not here. I got to English 10 minutes late and assumed she was in the washroom but she's still gone. Her stuff is here, but she's not. Did something happen?
Before I could ask to excuse myself and search for her, Drew came barging through the door.
"Mr. Andrew Torres, would you care to explain to me why you are disrupting my class?" Ms. Dawes exclaimed, clearly not pleased at Drew's sudden intrusion.
"I'm so sorry Ms. Dawes, but I need Eli to come with me now!" Drew exclaimed back, dreading for air while panting. My eyes shot up, "Why does he need me?" I thought.
"And why should I allow him to skip half of my class?" Ms. Dawes retorted, not giving it up so easily.
"Because" he added emphasis "his girlfriend, Clare Edwards, is being sent to the hospital!" Drew literally screamed, with pain in his tone of voice. I shot up from my seat, grabbed my notebook, waved off to Ms. Dawes and sprinted all the way to the front of the school, only to find my girlfriend on a gurney, being hauled into an ambulance.
"What the hell happened to my girlfriend?" I shouted, tears collecting in the corner of my eyes. No. No. This can't happen. Is she dead? Is she okay? What's going on!
"Eli, Eli, dude, you have to calm down!" a familiar voice said while taking a hold of my arms but I broke off. I found myself staring into Adam's dark blue eyes, my vision fogging up from my tears in the process.
"W-what's going o-on Adam? Is she fine? Is she alive?" Adam stayed quiet, staring at me before I broke again.
"Dude! What the hell! Tell me! What happened to her?" I kept screaming and shouting. My blood was boiling, I was sweating, I didn't know what to do. I felt light headed before Adam shook me and tried to calm me down.
"Eli, Eli! Look at me! Calm down!" He said, trying not to panic. I wouldn't budge. "Okay Eli, if you calm yourself, I'll tell you what I know, got it?" It took me a few moments before I could collect myself. Once I felt my breathing normalize, I nodded my head slowly. "Okay, that's better. Here's what happened: I was walking down the hall to the washroom when I heard a muffled noise and a bunch of thuds. It sounded serious so I ran over to where the sound could have possibly been coming from. I found myself in the hallway by the boiler room when I saw a shadow passing by, running. I didn't know what happened so instead of running after them, I went into the room, and there she was. It was Clare on the ground, unconscious, and with blood on her face and on the floor. Knowing me, I panicked, screamed, and finally called Simpson for help. He dialed 911, they came, end of story… well so far, at least." Adam breathed deeply after saying all the information all at once. Eli stood there, tears brimming in his eyes before he spoke.
"Adam, you know how to drive right?" He said, choking on a few words.
"Yeah, you taught me a couple of times and I got my permit last week." Adam replied, confused.
"Hospital. Now." Eli said, gritting his teeth.
"Eli! It's the middle of a school day!" Adam replied.
"I don't give a fuck! My girlfriend is in the hospital and we don't know if she's fine! Get in Morty and fucking drive us there! Please, Adam! I can't drive in this condition." Eli exclaimed, obviously aggravated.
"I don't know Eli… I'm still rough around a wheel..." Adam said, hesitating. Eli's eyes grew angrier but pleadingly as well. Before he could say another word, a shiny pair of keys jingled into sight, facing Eli's now surprised eyes.
"Maybe I can be of assistance?" The person said.
"J-Julia, what? Where did you get those keys?" Eli said, surprised.
"Oh please, remember? You taught me how to drive with Morty. You even gave me a pair of extras just in case you lost yours? Come on Eli. I heard Clare got hurt bad today. Just wanted to make sure you were okay. Then I heard you and Mr. Torres over here arguing so I thought, What the hell." Julia said, concern and pride in her tone.
"Okay fine. But do you remember how to run Morty? Remember, he's sensitive." He said.
"Of course! I missed the old hearse. Loved him like a kid… if that's even reasonable." Julia chuckled.
"Well then! We got a blue eyed girl to check up on!" Adam interrupted, walking off to Morty. Julia jingled the keys and hopped onto the driver's seat, Adam in the middle, and Eli in the passenger's. Time to see Clare.
A/N : I AM SO SORRY I UPDATED SO LATE. I did not have any computer access for a while and when I did, I was so busy. This chapter was also a filler of some sort but next chapter, I might have a few things in store (; REVIEWS? :)
