Okay, so I am having the WORST writers block ever! So this chapter doesn't really have a lot of detail about what happened when they got drunk because I am stuck! So I'm sorry if you wanted to see exactly what happened but I am lost! :(
Anyways, I still hope you like it.
Clare's POV
"Okay, tell us everything." I demanded.
"Well we don't know the whole story. But it sounded like you guys were having fun" Ali smirked.
"Ugh!" I said as I slammed my hands on the counter.
"I'm sure you'll get your memory back soon." Fiona reassured me.
"Yeah I guess." I sighed. "I'm going to go take a shower." Everyone nodded.
I walked out of the kitchen and made my way to the closet to get a towel. I grabbed a towel and turned around to find Eli standing there.
"I need to talk to you" he said nervously. I nodded and followed him outside.
"What did you want to talk about?"
"Well yesterday we kissed and we never really got to talk about it after, but then last night happened, which I'm not really sure what happened, and now I'm not so sure where that leaves us." he sighed.
"Well where do you want it to leave us?" I asked. He gave me the 'seriously!' look, like he was saying it was obvious, and it was.
He sighed, "I know we just met like 4 days ago, but…" he sighed again, "this is going to sound really lame… but, I can't help but feel like I've known you longer. You bring out my better side, which I didn't even know I had in the first place. Before I met you I was just the goth kid who everyone decided to pick on because it was 'fun', but when I'm around you, I feel… I fell normal, like I… belong?" I just stood there in shock. Did he just pour his heart out to me? The weirder part was that I feel the same way. Ever since Darcy, I haven't been the same; I pushed people away, except for Adam and Alli. And when they found Fiona and Drew, I became really good friends with them. Sure Drew is Adam's brother, but before he started going out with Alli we never really talked.
I didn't notice I was just standing there with a blank face, staring at him, until he waved his hand in my face.
"What, uh, oh sorry, zoned out" I said snapping back into reality.
"Is that a good sign or a bad sign?" he asked.
I didn't say anything; I just smiled and stepped closer to him before lifting my hand and placing on his cheek. He glanced up at me and stared into my eyes, with his gorgeous green ones, for a few seconds before leaning into my touch. He lifted his hand and placed it over mine. I pulled him closer, slowly, and our foreheads were resting against each other's, while our noses brushed against one another. I moved my head so I could kiss him on the cheek. It was a soft and gentle kiss. Once I pulled away, he smiled down at me, and I smiled in return, before wrapping my arms around him, under his arms, while his went around my shoulders.
"So were good?" he asked. I nodded and dug my head into his neck.
"Oh" I lifted my head. "I think you gave me this" I moved my hair and showed him the hickey. His face then flushed a dark red.
"Okay I was drunk so you can't hold that against me"
"Hey" I put my hands up in defence "I didn't say I was complaining" I smirked. He raised an eyebrow.
"Hmm" he smirked before leaning down and kissing my neck.
"Eli!" I yelled pushing him away. He just put his hands up in defence.
"I'm going to take a shower now" I sighed.
"Okay, well while you do that, I'm going to go hide from everyone" I laughed and hit his arm playfully before we walked back into the house and back upstairs.
We avoided any eye contact with any one, because if we did look at them, they would or wiggled their eyebrows and what not.
I quickly ran into the bathroom and locked the door. I turned the water on before getting undressed. Once I was undressed I checked to see if the water was a nice temperature before I stepped in. I let the water run down my body for a few minutes before I actually washed my hair and body. After I was all cleaned up, I just stood there letting the water fall on me; it felt so nice. The water was starting to get cold so I turned it off and got out. I dried my body off and got dressed before walking out of the bathroom and into the kitchen. I went to the fridge and grabbed a water bottle before walking into the living room. Once I entered the living room, everyone was staring at me.
"So, any memory about last night?" Fiona asked. I sighed and rolled my eyes.
"No, and I'm kind of planning on keeping it that way." Everyone laughed slightly and I sat on the couch.
"So, what's the plans for today?" I asked before taking a sip of my water.
"We could go for a walk to the rope" Fiona suggested.
"The rope?" Eli asked.
"Yeah, it's this little river place and there's a rope you use to swing across it." Adam explained. Eli just mouthed an 'oh'.
"It's also the best place for taking pictures!" Alli added in. The guys just rolled their eyes.
"Okay, well I'm going to go dry my hair" I got up and walked upstairs.
I went in the room and grabbed the hair dryer before turning it on and drying my hair. Once my hair was dry, I grabbed the straightener I had turned on a few minutes ago, and I started straightening my hair. Once I was done I put on some dark purple short shorts and a black tank top. (If you haven't noticed, I mostly have only black and purple clothing). I grabbed a long necklace that reached to my belly button and it had crystal heart on the end of it. I put on some silver hoop earrings; they weren't huge but they were slightly big. After that I put on some smoky eye shadow and some eyeliner with wings at the end of each eye. I finished it off with some mascara and some lip gloss. I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled at how I looked. I walked downstairs and Alli came up to me. She was the only in sight.
"I thought you were just drying your hair" she smirked.
"Well if were taking pictures I want to look good" I smirked back.
"Where is everyone anyways?" I asked.
"Their outside waiting." I nodded. We walked to the front door and I put on my black and white convers; I almost fell over and we both laughed and walked outside to meet everyone.
Once we got outside, Alli ran up to Drew and they held hands. Adam and Fiona were already holding hands. I smirked at how cute they looked. I walked up next to Eli and I saw him check me out from the corner of my eye. I smiled and he blushed before looking away. We started following everyone and walked side by side in silence. I didn't know exactly what to talk about so I just stayed quiet. Well, until the quiet was getting to me so I started humming the song 'October by Evanescence'. I didn't really realize how loud I was humming it. I just thought it was mostly in my head, until Eli looked at me and smirked.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing" he looked back ahead of us and smiled.
I wanted to know why he was smiling all of a sudden, so I smacked his arm. He flinched and placed his hand over the spot I hit him.
"What was that for?"
"Why did you start smiling all of a sudden?" I asked.
"No reason" he smiled again.
"Dude, tell me" I hit him again.
"That is abuse!" he said while pointing to the spot I hit again.
"Fine then" I poked him in his side and he flinched.
"Okay stop" I poked him again. "st-stop" I kept poking him. "That t-tickles, st-stop it" I kept poking him repetitively .
"Tell me, tell me, tell me" I kept saying with each poke.
"Okay stop" he grabbed my hands and held them. I laughed at how ticklish he is.
"Tell me why you were smiling"
"Because" he paused. "I like… your singing" he blushed.
"But I was humming" I mentally slapped myself at how stupid that sounded.
"Singing, humming, same thing; I still like it" he looked up into my eyes and I smiled.
"Thanks" I blushed and looked down.
"You guys, hurry up!" Drew yelled. I looked over at Drew and nodded before looking back at Eli, who was, of course, smirking.
I rolled my eyes and he let go of my hands before we started walking again. It didn't take us long to reach the river. Alli, Fiona, Adam and Drew were already on the other side. I smiled and ran to the rope; Drew swung it back to me and I grabbed it. I reached up, holding the rope above my head. I smiled huge before jumping on the rope and swinging across. I landed perfectly, as always. I turned around and swung the rope back to Eli. He just stood there holding it.
"Come on" I said. He looked at the rope and then at me.
"Uh, I'm fine over here" he said.
"Come on. Please?"
"Nah" he smirked.
"You will if you want to sleep in the bed instead of the floor" I smirked. He sighed and then swung over. I smiled at how persuasive I am.
"You are very manipulative" Eli said once he reached the other side.
"I prefer the word persuasive" I smirked.
He rolled his eyes and before I knew it, he had me in a head lock. It wasn't one of those fighting head locks; it was more like a playful one.
"Eli, let me go" I said while laughing.
"What's the magic word?" he asked teasingly.
I rolled my eyes and then bit his arm. He quickly released me.
"Ow! Did you just bite me?" he asked while rubbing his arm. I smiled and nodded.
"That hurt" he was still rubbing his arm.
"Awe, poor baby. Do you want me to kiss it better?" I used a baby voice.
"Yes" he smirked and held his arm out.
I raised an eyebrow, but then shrugged. I walked over to him and grabbed his arm before placing a soft kiss on the spot I bit. I felt him tense up a bit and I smirked as I looked back up at him. I like the fact that I make him nervous.
"Better?" I asked.
"Y-yes" he blushed and looked away. I laughed slightly before walking over where everyone else went. I soon found them and Alli was taking pictures of Fiona and Adam.
"I wanna join!" yelled before jumping in the picture. I was standing next to Adam and I stuck my tongue out. Fiona put up her fingers to make peace sign. Adam just stood there; typical Adam. Alli took the picture and then smiled at when she looked at it on the screen of the camera.
"Okay, Fiona, you kiss his left cheek, I'll kiss his right" Fiona nodded and Adam just blushed.
We both placed our lips on his cheeks and he just did this little 'you know your jealous' face. Alli took the picture and Fiona and I both ran to Alli to see the picture.
"Ah, I love it!" Fiona squealed.
"Me too" I smiled.
"Okay, everyone stand over there" I pointed to a spot and took the camera from Alli. Everyone went over to the spot I pointed to, except for Eli. I set the camera for a timer shot before placing it in a tree and ran back over to everyone, but not before grabbing Eli and pulling him over. He groaned as I pulled him over.
"Smile" Fiona said in her chirpy voice of hers. I didn't smile, I just did this little rocker face. The picture went off and Alli ran over to the camera. She smiled at it.
"Okay, Drew, Eli and Clare, go over there" Alli pointed to a spot. We did as she said and Drew and Eli stood on each side of me.
"Now, pick Clare up" my eyes widened.
"Excuse me?" I asked.
"Just go along with it" Alli said and before I could respond, Eli and drew had picked me up. They both had their hands under each of my legs, holding me up. I had my arms wrapped around their shoulders. Alli smiled and took the picture. In the picture I would have made a weird face but I was smiling because Drew was tickling under my leg. Once the picture was taken, I jumped of and hit Drew.
"Dude, you know I'm ticklish there!"
He laughed and said, "Why do you think I did it?" he smirked. I glared at him before pouncing on him. Once I brought him to the ground I started tickling his sides. He started laughing hysterically and kept tell me to stop. I finally had enough of torturing Drew and I got up off of him.
He glared at me playfully and I just laughed slightly.
"Okay Clare, take our picture" Alli said while handing me the camera before running over and wrapping her arms around Drew's waist.
"Awwe" I said before taking the picture. "I like it" I said while showing Alli. She nodded in agreement.
"Our turn!" Fiona yelled while dragging Adam to a better picture spot.
I smiled as I took the picture. They looked so cute together. After I took the picture I looked at it in the camera and I smiled.
"You guys are so adorable" Fiona smiled at me. Adam just smirked.
"Okay, your turn" Fiona said while pushing me towards Eli.
"What?" I asked.
"Come on, it's just a picture." Alli said.
Eli shrugged and came over to me and stood beside me. Alli was having trouble with the camera.
"Stupid camera" Alli said.
"Here let me help" Fiona started fooling around with it.
I rolled my eyes. It's a stupid camera, how hard could it be. I sighed and faced Eli. That's when I noticed his guitar pic necklace. For some reason, it fascinated me, so, I reached up and grabbed it so I could hold it while it was still around his neck.
"I like this" I told him. I looked up at him and he smiled at me, so, I smiled in return. I didn't even notice how close we were, or that he had his hands on my hips. We just stood there staring into each other's eyes and smiling.
"Awwe, that's so cute" Alli said. I turned my attention to her and she was looking at the camera. I ran over to her and looked at the picture.
It was of me and Eli and we were smiling at each other. He had his hands on my hips and mine were wrapped around his necklace.
"Did you just take that?" I asked.
"Yes, and it's adorable" she squealed.
I grabbed the camera and Eli walked over and stood behind me looking over my shoulder.
"I actually like this" I smiled a little.
"Normally I wouldn't like having my picture taken like that, but I like it too" Eli said. I smiled and handed the camera back to Alli.
We kept taking random pictures, and soon, Eli started feeling more comfortable about it and he would do weird faces. It made me laugh at times. There was one picture where he kissed my cheek and I was looking away from the camera slightly while smiling. There was one where all of the guys were holding me; they had their arms out and I was lying across them. While the picture was being taken, I was scared shitless that they would drop me. Drew kept saying stuff like 'your slipping' and what not. It really made me mad but I got him back.
Right now, I had the camera in my hand and I was going around getting pictures with everybody. I got a picture with Drew and I gave him bunny ears. I know it's something you do when your five but I just felt the need to do it. Mine and Allis picture was of us blowing kisses to the camera. Mine and Fiona's were us doing these weird poses acting like we were superstars. Now, when Adam and I took a picture together, he was on my back while I took the picture. Let's just say we had to take it multiple times before I actually succeeded and got the both of us in the picture.
It was now Eli's turn, so, I walked up to him.
"Picture?" I asked. he just smirked and nodded.
"Okay, but could you actually smile and not do anything weird?" I asked.
"What, you mean like this?" he then went cross eyed. I hit him playfully so he would stop it.
"Please just smile."
"Fine" he sighed. I hit him playfully and then stood closer to him. He wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me closer and I had my free arm around his torso. I lifted my other hand that was holding the camera. I was about to take the picture, but I decided to kiss his cheek before I took it. Once I took the picture I removed my lips from his cheek and checked the picture. To be honest, I really like it.
"I like it" Eli whispered in my ear. I smiled and he walked away. I watched as he made his way to everyone else. I couldn't help but think. Is it possible to have such strong feelings for someone you just met almost 5 days ago? Isn't it too soon to like someone when you've only just met them? How could he make me feel like this?
All of these questions were running through my head. If only I could find the answers…
So, did you like it? love it? hate it? tell me! :) I hope you liked it. I was getting stuck, and I didn't know what to write for this chapter, but then this popped in my head so I just decided to write it. and don't worry, the next chapter is FULL of Eclare yumminess. :P and chapter 10 has a lot of drama! :) anyways, again, I'm sorry for saying that there will be detail about the drunk sex but I just couldn't figure out how to write it. But I promise there will be some lemony goodness in later chapters. ;)
Anyways, Review please! :)
