Authors note: This is me being my fangirl self. Excuse me…
Ok, so last night's episodes? GAH! When Eli said "I can't be around you Clare, I like you too much." I screamed and my mom was like "what the hell is going on up there!" Ha-ha, you got to love my reactions to Eclare. Now we just have to wait until they ACTUALLY get together which is I'm hoping during All Falls Down. Erg, I'm sooo excited!
Oh, and also when he said "when I look at Clare all I can think about is getting her to kiss me!" I gasped. Not even kidding! I think season 10 is the best season so far because of Eclare! XD
Now for the story. Don't hate me guys. :/
I run up the stairs and grab my sweater. I slip it around me and get a text from Reese saying where the ravine is and how far away it is.
I walk downstairs and start to head to the door. "Where are you going?" Darcy asks me.
I turn around to her. "I'm going for a walk."
I run out the door and stop at the step and look at my phone. It scared me a bit when he said in the text message can't wait. I didn't like Reese like that, but I just needed something to get my mind off of things.
I walk down to where Reese said it was and noticed Reese, and a few other people there.
He looks up and notices me standing there. "If it isn't Little Edwards," He says.
I roll my eyes and sit in the seat next to him, but not too close, because I don't want to give him the wrong idea.
"You know I hate it when people call me Little Edwards?" I told him.
He raises his hands in a 'jeez sorry' gesture. Someone hands him a can of beer and he cracks it open. "You want this?" He asks holding it out to me.
I give him a weird look. Who does he think I am? "You're kidding right?" I ask him.
He shakes his head. "Nope,"
I think for a minute as he still holds it out to me. He smirks as he sees me think and I take it. I hold it up and take a big gulp. It burned as it went down my throat which made me let out a huge cough. Reese laughs. "That's why you drink it slow," He says.
"Right," I say. "I didn't know." I say taking a very small sip.
I hear my alarm clock ring but I refused to do anything about it. I take my pillow and throw it at the alarm knocking over a lamp and apparently hitting Darcy. "Jeez Clare," She yells and throws it back.
"Stop," I say sitting up and holding my hurting head. "I don't feel good."
"What," She starts. "Did a little something when you snuck in late last night?"
"Snuck in late last night?" I ask confused. "What are you talking about?"
"I was awake, Clare," She says. "Don't lie to me."
I shake my head and let out the most pathetic lie, "I was at Alli's."
I get up and start to get ready for school and started thinking about what actually happened that night. All I could remember was taking a drink of Reese's drink and then it all was fuzzy. Is it true? Me, Clare Edwards, is hung-over?
I shake it off and try to forget all about that. My mom gives me another silent ride to school. All her car rides tend to be silent ever since my dad died, and I kind of like it that way. That way she doesn't always ask me about my day, or about my life. It makes me uncomfortable.
I walk in and go straight to my locker as usual, and tried to hide myself because I really didn't want to see Reese.
"Edwards," I hear. It sounded like…Reese.
"What could you possibly want now Reese?" I ask him a little too harshly.
"Jeez Clare," He says. "Not going to be nice to me today?" I look back into my locker and refuse to make eye contact. "You were pretty nice to me last night." He says.
My stomach dropped. "What?" I ask. "Reese, what happened last night?" I say and turn to him.
He smirks. "You don't remember?" He asks. I shake my head 'no' and he grins. "Let's just say," He holds up my arm and starts to take off my purity ring. "You don't need this anymore."
I snatch it back from him. "What the hell?" I say aggravated. "You're kidding, right?"
He raises his hands. "Would I kid about something like that?" He says and looks at me putting my ring back on my finger and he snatches it. "Prude!" He yells and holds it out of my reach.
I raise my hand up about the verge of tears trying to grab it back from him. "Give it back!" I yell to him and he still holds it out of my reach. "Reese!" I say. I realized the only way to do this was 'make' him give it back. I lift my foot and swing it right where the sun doesn't shine. He falls in pain as the ring drops to the floor. I pick it up, shut my locker and run away from him. I had a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach and run to the bathroom and lock myself in a stall. I stand there leaning against the door and start to cry. I couldn't believe this was happening. Did I really have sex with Reese at the ravine, or was he just jerking with me.
In English Class
It was a day for editing in English Class with our partners, which I wasn't excited for at all.
Eli looks over my paper for a while and I wait there patiently. He drops it back on the table. "You missed the concept of the assignment," He says calmly.
I scoff, "Who are you to criticize my work?" I ask harshly.
"I'm your English partner," He starts. "I'm supposed to criticize your work."
I got mad and picked up his work and make a quick skim through it. "Then your work is poorly worded and" I pause for a second and hand it back to him. "Could use a spelling check."
He rolls his eyes. "So I'm confused," He starts. "Did we break up last night?" He asks.
I become blank. "I don't know." I say.
He pauses. "Would you feel better if I told you everything?"
I give him an 'it's obvious' look. "Yes, I would." I say.
"Fine," He says. "Meet me after school at my car." The bell rings and we both get up without another word until the day was over.
I walked over to his hearse to see him leaning on it. I walk over to him and lean on it with him. "So, what is it?"
He gets off the car and points to his car. "Get in?"
I walk over to the passenger seat and get in. He drives off to a spot by the park and stops there after driving silently. "Well," I say. "I don't get it."
He takes a big sigh. "This is where I killed my girlfriend." He says refusing to look at me.
I got scared. He…killed his girlfriend. "What?" I ask nervously. I tried not to sound too shocked.
"We got into a fight, I said some things I shouldn't have said and it really upset her." He says sounding like he's on the verge of tears. "She rides off on her bike…She got hit by a car." He looks down at his lap and looks like he's trying to not cry.
It broke my heart hearing this. "Eli," I say. I found myself about to cry too. Seeing him like this made me feel horrible. "I'm so sorry."
He keeps his head down and nods. I start to feel horrible and put my hand on his. "I understand why you wouldn't want to talk about it. It's hard to loose someone." I say.
"Especially when it's your fault." He says and starts fiddling with his fingers. "'I just feel so stupid because I always mess things up."
"Hey," I say calmly and he looks at me. "Nobody's perfect."
He lets a week smile form on his face. "I guess." He says.
"I'm so sorry." I say again.
"Stop apologizing!" He says and smiles at me to show everything's ok and then turns back and looks out his window. "Well," He starts again. "I guess I should get you back home." He starts his car and then looks back at me and smiles. "I'm glad I got that off my chest."
I smile to him and he looks back at the front. Before the car could start moving forward I see him turn back to me again. I lean in and our lips meet. I felt so bad that he had to go through this.
We pull away and he grins. "So I guess that means we're good, right?" I laugh. "So that means there is no more secrets and I'm happy about that."
My face drops as he looks away. "Right," I lie. "No more secrets."
