Eli POV

Stop crying Eli, you wimp. I couldn't look at Clare the rest of the day. Just thinking about her hooking up with that loser gives me chills, really. I was starting to get the feeling that Reese took advantage of her which pissed me off. Reese has a reputation, and I don't know how someone as innocent as Clare would be involved with a guy like that.

I shake my head and walk forward out to the hearse after a depressing day of school until I saw an unpleasant surprise.

Reese.

I let the anger get the better of me and I stepped forward to him. "Who do you think you are?" I basically yell in his face.

He laughs. "You're just not going to let this go are you?" He says sarcastically.

I couldn't laugh, I just couldn't. "Shut up," I said. "I know you've done a lot of things, but this is the lowest of low."

He laughs again. "I did nothing wrong. She came to me."

"But you took advantage of her!"

He looks off and then looks back at me with a more serious face. "You know," he starts, "You've got guts, emo boy."

I laughed at that. "You really think you scare me?" I say. He starts to look like he knew what he was dealing with.

…Not being cocky or anything…

He doesn't say anything. "Just," I start. "Stay away from Clare."

He puts on a sinister grin. "I'll try my best." He says obviously sarcastically and walks away.

Yes, I still did care about Clare enough to stick up for her, but yet, I feel that I can't forgive her for not only having sex with Reese, but also for actually going to the ravine and getting wasted and then having sex with Reese. The thought was horrible, just horrible!

It was still hard looking at her.

I climb into my car and drive on home in the rain. I frickin' hate the rain. It rains here in about thirty degree weather which I really don't get.

The whole entire day I tried to not think about Clare, but it just happened. I couldn't get her out of my mind. I know what she did was wrong, but I was having a hard time getting over her. I'm so weak…

A few days later.

I drive up to Adam who is walking with his thin coat and shivering. He looks at me and sighs in relief. "Thank god, Eli!" He says and gets into the passenger seat. I sit there for a few moments and he studies my angry face. "Uh oh…" He starts. "What now?" He says and runs his hand threw his soaking hair.

I shake my head. "It's just not right!" I say. "Why Reese?"

He smirks. "Almost sounds like you're jealous."

I shake my head. "Clare has principals, Adam. One of which being no sex before marriage and there she goes and has sex before marriage! Worst of all…She was wasted when she did it. She probably broke almost all of the ten deadly sins in one week, Adam."

Adam shakes his head. "She's hurting Eli," Adam says. "I mean, her dad, her family going through a divorce before that…It's a lot to go through."

"Adam that's not just it," I say. "I had to hear it from Reese. I mean, if she would've came to me and told me I would've been the slightest bit more understanding about it."

"Would you Eli?" Adam says sarcastically. "Would you really? We both know what Clare did was wrong…Heck, even Clare knows what she did was wrong, but no matter how you would've found out, you would still freak out about it."

I give him a weird look. "I know you, Eli." Adam says. "You would've still been mad about it." I don't say anything and me turns his head. "Don't lie."

I sigh. "I guess…I'm just still mad that she couldn't come and talk to me about it."

Adam nods his head. "I've never gone through this…But it's probably hard to talk about. Also, she probably just wanted to forget it, but we all know Reese is an ass, so that probably was hardly possible."

I laugh. "Thank you oh-wise-oh Adam." I joke which really lightened my mood. He laughs and I drive off to drop him off at his house.

Clare's POV

"Wait," Alli says as we sit on my bed. No one was home, so we could talk about this. "So you're sure you had sex with Reese."

I shake my head weakly. "Positive…"

"But you said you couldn't remember it."

I felt a tear fall down my face. "I remember it…It wasn't 'magical' it wasn't what everyone wants…It was horrible."

She puts her hand on my shoulder for comfort. "That's because you weren't ready." She says. "Remember what I had to go through?"

I nod my head. "I remember," I say. "That's also another reason why I had to come to you to talk about this."

"Well you're not…" She starts but pauses like she was going to say something serious. "Pregnant…are you?"

I felt another tear fall down my cheek when she said that. "I'm pretty sure I'm not."

"Well, do you want to make sure? How long has it been?"

I choke out my words. "About two weeks."

"Well, do you want to get a pregnancy test?"

I look down. I can't believe I'm actually scared of being…pregnant. "Will you come with me?"

She nods her head. "Well," She says and starts to get up. "We better get there and get back before your mom and Darcy get back."

I nod slowly and get up. Alli looks at me one last time. "Whatever happens," She starts. "I'll be here for you. Ok?"

I nod my head one last time and I get my coat and we walk out the door and to the pharmacy.

Eli's POV

When I got home, I thought of a few things. Did I really made the right choice to walk away from Clare, or do I need to be there for her? Of course I knew I needed to be there, but the question was; can I handle it? It was hard looking at her, so it's going to be really hard to help her, but I think I need to do it.

Also, another question, what if Clare was pregnant? I couldn't even think about that without scaring myself to death. I know it wouldn't be mine, but it scared me to think about Clare just being pregnant in general. I know Clare is a bit unstable when it comes to her emotions, so I could barely think about what it would be like for her to actually have a baby.

I need to talk to her…

I pull out my phone and call her number. It rings a few times and then she picks up.

"What do you want Eli?" She asks in a cold tone.

"I just wanted to know if you were okay," I tell her honestly.

"…I don't know." She says quietly.

"What?" I got scared and thought I should ask. "You're not…"

"Pregnant?" She finishes my sentence. "I'm just about to figure that out."

"Did he use protection?"

"I don't know, Eli. That's why I'm making sure."

"So…You don't remember anything?"

She pauses. "No." She stops for a second and I hear Alli say something in the background. "I'll let you know how it goes." She finishes and then hangs up.

I was really starting to get worried.

I know you guys hate me for the cliff hanger. :P
