Hi! I'm going to try and update my story everyday when I can. Since school is out, I can update a lot. Please read this and tell your friends about it! Oh and…REVIEW! Pretty pretty pleeeease! :D

Chapter 1

"What's the point in wanting her back if you're not going to try to get her back?"

Eli

School is out and I don't have to suffer through seeing the love of my life every day. She's not with Jake anymore, and it kills me to see her crying over him every day. It's time to start weaseling my way back into her life. To get some ideas, Adam and I are going to brainstorm with the help of Alli, who doesn't really know why we need her. She's just willing to help.

I grab my cell and the keys to Morty. (A/N: Eli did not crash Morty for Clare. That didn't happen… yet. Heehee) I pull up at The Dot and spot Alli and Adam waiting in a table by the window.

"Hey, guys," I greet them as I grab a seat.

"Hey, Eli," Adam says.

"Hi," Alli mutters shyly.

Ever since Clare and I broke up, she feels like it's wrong to be with one of us without the other. She's not really my friend, but we did sort of hang out because of Clare.

Alli shifts uncomfortably in her seat.

"Look, you guys. I really want to help you, but I don't know if I should be doing this. I had to lie to Clare, so she wouldn't get suspicious," Alli complains.

"I promise this won't take long!" I beg. "Please."

"Fine," she sighs. "Okay, Adam. You dragged me into this, and you said you had an idea. Let's hear it."

"Alli, you are the plan. You need to make Clare admit that she still loves Eli. She needs to say it and then she'll believe it."

"I get that, but what about Eli?" she asks.

"Yeah, what about me? Do I really need to be here? You guys seem to be making the plan on your own."

"Well Eli, Alli, the bigger plan is sort of going to be a stretch for both of you…" Adam trails off.

"What?" Alli and I ask simultaneously.

"You have to pretend to go out with Alli, Eli," Adam murmurs.

"WHAT!" I scream. "That's going way too far! I'm in love with CLARE and you're telling me to basically break her heart AGAIN and go out with her BEST FRIEND!"

"Yeah Adam, that's going a little too far," Alli sighs. Her iPhone buzzes, and she pulls it out of her pocket.

A look of worry crosses her face.

"Dave is wondering where I am. I have to go," she says. "Bye."

"Later, Adam," I wave as I walk out of The Dot.

This is a lot to take in. Me and Alli, really? I wish Adam could've come up with a better idea because this one is all of sudden looking pretty good. I need to talk to someone who would know what to do. (A/N: Review and tell me who you thought it was going to be!)

I pull up at Declan's apartment building. Declan Coyne – I know what you're thinking. He and Fiona are really good friends of mine. We kept our friendship a secret to protect his reputation, but we are still friends and he told me he's available whenever I need him. I ride up the elevator and ring his door bell.

"Eli? Is that you?" he asks as he unlocks the door.

"Yep, open up Coyne!" I reply.

He unlocks the door and invites me in.

"You want something to eat or drink?" Declan asks.

"No, I just need to talk to you."

"About?" he prompts.

"Getting Clare back. Adam came up with this crazy plan that involves me dating Alli," I roll my eyes, thinking about it.

"That's Clare's best friend ever right?"

"Yes, and Adam doesn't know what he's talking about!"

"I think you should go along with the plan because if it doesn't work out, you could always confess your feelings," Declan advises

"Okay, I guess you're right."

"Thanks for the advice man," I say, getting up off the couch and shaking hands with Declan.

"Anytime, lil bro!" Declan calls as I walk out the door.

Clare

"Clarebear! Come downstairs and eat something!" my mom says as she knocks on my door for the fifth time today.

"No thanks!" I reply and turnover in my bed.

5 days, 3 hours, 9 minutes, and 10 seconds.

That's how long I've been in here.

Ever since school ended and I really have no reason to leave the house, I've been in here. The only person I've talked to is Alli.

My Droid buzzes and I roll over. I glance at the caller ID: Alli ;D

"Hello," I answer.

"CLARE! Thank God you answered. I thought you had committed suicide by now," Alli sighs.

"Haha, very funny."

"Look, Clare. You are my best friend and I love you dearly but you need to get out of your house!"

"FINE! I will."

"THANKS! Meet me at the park when you're dressed!"

I hang up and stumble out of bed. I'm a little nauseous from no food or water. I wash my face, shower, and throw on a lavender sundress, black converse, and a white quarter sleeve length sweater with a yellow flowered headband. I grab my phone and run downstairs.

"Clarebear? Is that you?" my mom asks as she turns around.

"Yeah. Hey mom."

"Clare, honey!" she hugs me.

"Mom, I'm really sorry. I've been in a depressing state lately."

"No problem. I heated up your lunch. Would you like to eat it?"

"Sure," I reply as I take a seat at the kitchen table.

She sets a turkey sandwich and some potato chips. I eat the meal and grab a bottle of water on the way out. I walk to the park that's a few blocks away from my house and see Alli with what looks like – Eli.

When I get over to them, I totally ignore Eli.

"Hey," I greet Alli as I hug her.

"Clare! I have BIG news!

"Spill!" I exclaim as we all sit down in the bench.

"ELI AND I ARE DATING!" she squeals, giving Eli a kiss on the cheek.

Eli grins in delight.

"That's great," I say as my voice falls a little.

I mutter to Alli that I have to go and run off to my little spot in the park.

I can't believe this. They're FUCKING DATING! OMG! DAMNIT!

I rest my head in my hands and look up just in time to see Bianca walking my way.

"Hey loser girl!" she teases.

"What?" I ask.

"Nothing," she says as she plops down next to me on the grass.

"What are you here for?" I ask.

"I just got into a huge fight with my mom if I can even call her that. She didn't give birth to me much less raise me," Bianca sighs as she lays back.

"You were finally adopted?" I ask.

"Yes," she responds.

"Well I just found out that one of my ex-boyfriends is going out with my best friend."

"OOO! Rough!"

"Yeah, I know."

"Well if it helps, the guy's a sissy bitch for not realizing that you still love him."

"Thanks. I never thought you'd be the one I'd be talking to about this."

"How do you think I feel? This is new to me."

Bianca and I continued to talk and we sort of became friends. (A/N: HA! A twist! This story isn't what you expected is it?)

Please REVIEW! – Love, Ami Love!
