All I have to say is that all of you are amazing! Thank you for giving me hope to finish my story(: here's chapter four.
Clare
I couldn't believe that just happened…
My hand went to linger on my other hand where his lips had been and then I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face. We were driving back home since the concert was over. We had met up with Sav outside after we met the band. Sav wasn't that into Single-Minded Tragedy, which made no sense at all to any three of us, but anyway, he ended up just getting out of there while we met the band.
"You have… the most prettiest eyes I've ever seen."
I could barely keep down the blush threatening to show up on my cheeks. I just… I can't believe that Elijah Goldsworthy said that to me. I was suddenly snapped from my stupid fan girl thoughts by Alli.
"What are you thinking about Clare, or rather, who are you thinking about?" She teased from beside me while Katie looked over at me smiling.
"Nothing and… no one."
"Oh come on. We know that look on your face and we saw you touching your hand where he kissed you and you're smiling so wide it looks like it hurts. You so have a big fat crush on Elijah!" Alli squealed and I just tried not to smile.
"And by the looks of it, he was very interested in you Clare, and your pretty eyes." Katie pointed out to me from beside Alli.
"There is no way he found me attractive… I mean, compared to you guys, I'm just… ugh."
They raised their eyebrows at me and Alli lightly smacked my arm, "Shut up, Clare! You're gorgeous, so stop putting yourself down; I've had enough of it missy!"
"Ow, okay!" I replied while I rubbed my arm where she had slapped me.
"Elijah Goldsworthy finds you attractive; deal with it and be happy."
Eli
I couldn't stop thinking about that girl…
She was so different looking and her eyes; they were so beautiful and the shade of blue was like one I'd never seen before. I couldn't help but flirt with her, she was gorgeous.
Wait, whoa! What?
I can't do that… I'm not supposed to like anyone else. I can't… I still love Ellie.
"Eli man, what was that back there with that girl?"
My head snapped toward Jake who was smiling at me.
"N-nothing. It was nothing…"
"Yeah right." Drew threw in with a smirk on his face. We were on our way to our beach house near the stadium. It laid right in front of the board walk to the beach; it was quite beautiful.
"Am I missing something here?" Adam asked. That's right, he wasn't there with us while we were meeting our fans.
Fitz beat me to it, "Well, our buddy over there was getting his flirt on with some blue eyed babe."
"Really now?" Adam sounded quite amused, "What's her name?"
"Clare…" I murmured to him from my seat in the limo.
"Wait… was she with a redhead?" He asked sort of hopefully.
"Yeah, why?"
"You were flirting with Clare Edwards; AKA my movie love interest's best friend." He replied with a smirk.
So her last name is Edwards, huh?
"Wow, what a… coincidence."
"You know what…" Adam's voice rang out while he pulled out his phone. He started pressing some buttons then put the phone to his ear, "Yeah, hey Katie. I was wondering, can I bring a friend along for coffee tomorrow? Yeah, it's that one, so maybe you could bring one of your friends with you. You know the perfect girl? Well, okay, see you tomorrow." He hung up and sighed in triumph and smiled over at me.
He didn't…
Clare
We were all laughing and singing to the radio as we started down the street to my house when Katie's phone went off. We had Sav turn down the music as she answered.
"Hey, Adam." Suddenly me and Alli's ears perked up, "Sure, is it going to be him? Well, I think I know the perfect girl. Yeah sure, I'll see you there, bye." She turned to us and looked over at me, "Clare, you're going on a double date with me! And you'll get to meet Adam!"
"What? You're setting me up on a blind date?"
"No! You know this person, sort of… just be quiet and let's see how it goes tomorrow."
"Well, I'll survive a few hours without you guys." Alli said sadly.
"Yes, you will." Katie replied, "And Clare… wear something that… brings out your eyes." She muttered.
The next day…
I had decided on a simple dark teal dress that went to just above my knees and chose a white cardigan to go over it. I slipped on my black flats and headed out the door with my purse in hand as my hair suddenly whipped in my face slightly. I moved it from my face and started walking the short distance to the Dot. Today it was supposed to be closed, but Sav works there, so he begged his boss to let us use it today and that he'd serve us.
After about five minutes I saw the Dot come into view and Katie was waiting outside for me. When she saw me she smiled at me as she ran over to me.
"Hey. So where is this Adam and his friend?"
"Oh their inside… um, are you ready?"
"You make it sound like a big deal."
"Uh… sorry. Let's just go."
We started up the few small steps to the door. Once inside I saw Sav at the counter and two boys sitting at a table near the windows.
Wait…
"Oh my god, Katie! What the hell is Elijah Goldsworthy doing here? He's my date!"
"Yeah…"
"Why the hell didn't you tell me?"
"Listen we can talk about this lat-"
"Uh, ladies?"
We both turned around to see Elijah and Adam staring at us. Wait, that was the Adam Torres.
"Katie, I can't believe that first you set me up with Elijah and don't tell me and now I find out that your love interest is Adam Torres?" My voice was in a whispered yell as we walked over to the two boys.
"Well, it's nice to finally meet the Clare Edwards that Katie's told me so much about." Adam said smiling at me.
(A/N: Adam's not an FTM in this story. He's full on guy and everything(: )
"Well, it's nice to finally meet the Adam Katie's talked about… but never thought to mention he was Adam Torres." I said the last part while looking at Katie who just shrugged at me. Elijah looked sort of uncomfortable, but god… did he look gorgeous…
He looked over at me and smirked making me blush slightly while I put my purse on the table.
"So Clare, didn't you take singing lessons when you were fourteen?"
I could tell Katie was trying to help me spark a conversation with Elijah and the second she mentioned singing he looked at me with raised eyebrows.
"Yeah, b-but I'm not any good…" I muttered.
"That's a lie! You won first place in our talent show two years ago."
"Well… yeah, but…"
"Come on, sing a few lines for us, Clare." Adam asked from across the table. I shot Katie a death glare before choosing a song mentally in my head then choosing the lines I wanted to sing and nodding at him. I bit my lip and cleared my throat as they all waited eagerly for me to start.
I can't breathe,
Without out you,
But I have to,
Breathe,
Without you,
But I have to.
"Wow…" I looked up at Elijah from across the table and his eyes were wide and he was staring at me.
"Clare, you have an amazing voice." I felt the heat rush to my cheeks and I looked at Adam.
"Thanks…"
Eli
I stared at her in awe.
Her voice was so beautiful and just soft…
I just couldn't really explain how good she was. I cleared my throat and looked down at the table, "How did you remember the lines to that song, you only heard it once at the concert." I said to her and I looked up and she was smiling.
"I memorized them; all of the lyrics."
"Really?"
"Yeah. It's my new favorite song. I just thought it was so peaceful and the song all in all was just soft and slow. It made me feel… feel… warm inside I guess. It's like none of your other songs." She said with her smile still gracing her lips and her eyes closed suddenly. She opened them tucked a strand of her wavy hair behind her ear.
"Wow, that was… different. No one's ever described our songs like that before." I felt a faint smirk make its way onto my face.
I realized Adam and Katie were talking and then me and Clare had started up a conversation. Suddenly the sky was getting dark and then Katie stopped talking and looked outside.
"Oh, Clare, we have to go. We'll see you guys whenever; maybe tomorrow or something?"
"Yeah, sounds good." Adam and Katie hugged as we all got up and then I stepped forward and took Clare's hand, placing a kiss on her flesh. She blushed a dark red when I pulled back and smirked at her.
"Bye, Blue Eyes." I said to her and she looked up at me smiling as I called her Blue Eyes.
Me and Adam left and he looked at me, "Blue Eyes?" His voice sounded amused.
"What?" I asked feeling a small blush etch across my face.
"Wait, are you blushing? Oh god… you seriously have a crush on that girl." He muttered while we got into his car.
"Do not." But I was smiling and he just shook his head at me as we pulled away from the curb and down the street.
Maybe I do have a crush on the girl…
Uh… I feel disappointed in this chapter for some reason :\ I don't know. I'm gonna ask for… ten reviews! When I get them you get chapter five!(:
