Ok, if you hate me for not updating yestarday like I promise, hear me out: It's really, REALLY hard to update when you share a computer and your sister loves to hog it. For Christmas, I'm getting a new laptop for myself, so I can update WAY more often. Ok, hope you forgive me. My science teacher is stacking me up with homework and I'm studying for alot of tests. Next week, lots of updating. Ok enough of that, let's get pnto Chapter 4 of The Rest Of Our Lives (Virtual Desserts for reviewers!) Lots of Love- NCMS ;D
Clare's POV
After putting Zac in his crib, I went downstairs and I laid down on the couch. I sighed, when I heard Julia running into the house yelling. "MOMMY! DADDY! MOMMY! DADDY!" Julia repeated over and over. "Hey Jules. Hunter's parents drove you home?" I asked, making sure they did. Hunter and Julia has a nice friendship. "Yeah they did! Guess what! We took a test today and the results said that I'm going to skip 2 grades, so I'm going to be placed in 1st grade! With Hunter!" Julia cheered, screaming and jumping up and down.
"Julia, don't yell. Your brother's sleeping. Congrats honey, when do you start 1st grade? You know what, just give me the paper." I replied, and Julia handed me the paper.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Goldsworthy
Your daughter, Julia Goldsworthy, took a test today and the results show that she has the knowledge of a first grader and possibly higher than that. Ms. Goldsworthy will be moved to the 1st grade and see if that's the right grade to place her in. If necessary, we will move Julia to the second grade and higher until we place her in the right grade. She is moving up with fellow student Hunter Meyers, who got 1 point lower than Julia's score. Thank you and congratulations.
When I looked at Julia, she was reading a book."Great job Jules, well, I'm going to go make dinner. Julia nodded then asked, "Where's Daddy?" I took out the pasta box. "He's at work." I answered. "What's his job?" Julia then asked. "He's an author. He writes books. Like the one you're holding right now." I replied. "Oh. When will he come back?" she questioned. "Around 7." I said, and continued to cook. It was rare for Julia to ask too many questions, her limit usually being 1 question.
"Ok. I get it. Thanks Mommy." Julia whispered, and stomped upstairs. Then, unexpectedly, Eli walked in. "Clare! I got the rest of the day off, so I'm having a guy's night with Adam." Eli said, changed, and left. We ate dinner, Spaghetti, and Eli came home around midnight. "Hey Eli…had fun?" I greeted. Eli stumbled to the kitchen and replied, "Just shut up and get off my back." I looked at Eli, I must've imagined that. "Excuse me?" I replied with attitude. "Just…SHUT UP AND LEAVE ME ALONE!" Eli yelled. I flinched, scared.
"Eli…are you ok?" I asked, concerned. "Yes. Except my wife is over protective. Just lay low!" Eli slurred. He's drunk. I knew it. Eli rarely gets drunk lately, and when he does, it's minor. But this, this was serious.
"Eli, just go to bed honey." I whispered. "WHY? SO YOU COULD GO HAVING SEX WITH JAKE?" Eli yelled. "Eli, I wouldn't. I would never cheat on you!" I screamed. "LIAR! YOU ARE LYING!" Eli replied, with anger. "Eli! Calm down! Julia and Zac are sleeping!" I screeched. "I KNOW! YOU PLANNED NICHOLAS' DEATH WITH JAKE? FREAKING WHORE!" Eli slurred.
He slammed his face onto the counter and we argued. I hated this. Eli walked into the bedroom, I grabbed my cell phone, and dialed Adam. "Hello? This is the Torres residence. Who am I speaking with?" a young woman answered. "Clare Goldsworthy. May I speak to Adam or Fiona is he's not available." I replied. "Ok I'll put on Fiona." She said. "Hi Clare. What brings you up so late?" Fiona asked. "Hey Fi. Is Adam drunk? Eli is." I replied.
"Yeah Adam came home lightly drunk. I heard there was tobacco where they went." Fiona informed me. "Tobacco? As in cigarettes?" I asked. "Yup. They hid it in the food." Fiona continued. "Oh my god." I whispered. Then, Eli came back to the kitchen and yelled. "TALKING TO JAKEY?" I flinched and dropped the phone. I heard Fiona say a few hello? Clare? You there?
Eli reached for the phone and hung up. we argued and bickered until Julia was in our sight. "Mommy? Daddy? Please stop fighting!" Julia cried. Eli stopped and looked at his daughter. "I'm sorry Jules. We're not fighting." Eli replied. "Yes you are! I'm not stupid! You're fighting!" Julia yelled. "You guys are fighting and you freaking lying to me!" Julia screamed. "Julia, we're going to stop now. You know why?" I said. "Why? Because you love me." Julia guessed. "No. We're going to spend time with your grandma. Your dad is going to stay here. I'll go get Zac. Get some clothes." I said.
"Ok." Julia whispered and stomped upstairs. I felt a tear come down. Eli stared down at me, guilty. "Bye Eli." I mumbled, carried Zac, and held Julia's hand. I hopped into my car, and drove to my mom's. she welcomed us, happy that Eli and I got into a fight. I laid down in my bed, and cried myself to sleep.
Aw, first Eclare fight in my story. Anyone haven't notice anything up with Julia? BTW, Chapter 6 will skip 4 years, sorry. I have alot of drama and stuff for when they're older, so I don't want to do too much fluff about their young life. Eli thinks Clare is cheating, but he's drunk. Has anyone guessed what Fiona did on the night of their wedding? Anyone that guesses right in a review or private message, gets a sneak peak about an idea in mind. Well, thanks for reading, I'll TRY to update tommorrow, I'll do my best. Thanks-s :)
