Eli P.O.V

I got home and went straight to my room with a soda in my hand. I was happy it was the last day of school. Then I realized school kept me sort of busy...kept me busy from thinking of Clare. Even with school I still thought of her. Without it, she was going to be on my mind all the time.

My phone rang interrupting my thoughts. I looked at the caller id to see it was Jake. Jake? I knew I helped him with school but it wasn't like we were friends or anything. He couldn't be calling about school...school was over. I shrugged and picked it up.

"Hello?," I asked

"Eli?," Jake asked

"Oh hey Jake."

"Hey, Eli! What's up?"

"The sky." I smirked

"Haha real funny. You busy tonight or the rest of the weekend?"

"Nope not at all." I frowned thinking of Clare.

"Perfect because your'e invited to a cabin getaway with some people."

"What people?"

"Do you know Drew? Katie? Marisol? Bianca?"

"Uh, not really."

"Are you friends with Adam?"

"Yep." I said getting excited.

"He's coming!"

"Cool,"I said to cheery," When do you leave?"

"Just be here by 8:00."

"Alright. Bye."

I hung up and told Cece and of course she said yes. I got out a bag and started packing.

Clare P.O.V

When I got home I sat down to eat. I was so hungry! My mom and Glen were packing and Jake was on the phone seeing if everyone was still okay to come. I had to tell him about Alli who might be coming. What I wasn't looking forward to was seeing my mother's face after everyone would come. I bit into the sandwich I had made and took a sip of iced tea. The phone rang and I picked it up.

"Hello?" I said happily

"Hello Ms. Clare Edwards." It was Alli of course.

"Hey! Can you come?"

"Yep! My parents said as long as your parents are there, it's okay."

"Great!"

"I'll be there in about 2 hours!"

"Okay, see you then," I said glancing at the clock which read 5:57 PM.

I hung up and ran up the stairs to go pack. While I was packing I was really excited. Something just triggered inside. I was really looking forward to it. I guess I liked the idea of a getaway even with Jake...and Eli going. I would just keep my distance. I finished packing clothes and I needed to pack my toothbrush and toothpaste.

I walked to the bathroom and ran into my mom in the hallway.

"Hey mom, Alli's coming! Is that okay?"

"Sounds great sweetie!" She said walking down the stairs.

After I grabbed my toothbrush, I was done! I carried my bag down the stairs and put it in the kitchen. I checked the clock which read 7:13 PM. Good! Just enough time to get ready...and tell Jake about Alli going. When I ran up the stairs I walked in the direction of Jake's room and knocked on the door.

"Come in!," He yelled from inside

"Hi." I said softly

"Hi." He said abruptly and began folding the shirt in his hands and stuffed it in his bag.

"I invited a friend of mine to come."

"I thought we agreed on the people coming."

"We never exactly did and it's only one more person coming."

"Well who did you invite?"

"Alli!"

He shrugged and smirked, which left me confused...and curious. I walked out of his room slamming the door. His face...was like he was happy Alli was going. Why? I wasn't fully over Jake yet. So I would always talk to Alli for advice and stuff like that, I knew I could trust her with anything. I smiled at the thought, we had a beautiful friendship.

I went into my room to get dressed. I got out my clothes and headed to the bathroom to turn the shower on. A nice warm shower is just what I needed. When I got out and brushed my teeth, I saw it was 7:43 PM. I ran to my room and threw my clothes on. When I was doing my makeup it was 7:52 and someone was here. I heard Alli's voice. Thank god. She came upstairs and sat on my bed.

''You excited?," She asked

"Yeah!" I said while putting my makeup case in my bag." I think it's gonna be fun!"

She smiled.

I heard 2 girls and I heard Jake say "Marisol, Katie! Hi!"

I put my converse on and even more people were arriving. Alli and I walked downstairs. It was Drew and Adam. Then Eli and then Bianca came.

"Jake, Clare can I speak with you for a second?'' My mom asked

Uh oh.

"Why are there almost 10 people?," She asked," I thought we agreed on 1-3!"

"Ms. Edwards...Mom...," Jake said," We can't send them all home and they're all good kids! We will behave. Please!"

My mom gave us a look. "I can't believe you guys did this."

"Mom, Jake invited all of these people except for Alli who I invited! He did this!" I said

"You didn't want to discuss it!" Jake argued.

"We will discuss this after the trip but for now leave this alone. They can all come but never do this again, you understand?"

Jake and I nodded.

"Let's all just enjoy this vacation," my mom smiled.

While she said that I couldn't agree more. Everyone started to put their bags in the car. We were ready to go!
