I took a break from writing yesterday because a) I had homework for my Civics and Finance classes, and b) part one ended with chapter 13, so I thought I'd give you the chance to recoup. Now that that's out of the way, I bring you Chapter 14, Part Two.

Start

"All things truly wicked start from innocence." ~Ernest Hemingway

It wasn't like Clare got to just skip out of school after she had Luke. But that was what she thought would happen, at least for a little bit. But no, she had to go like every other sophomore, right after having her baby.

She and Luke had moved back into the Goldsworthy's house once they'd come home from the hospital. They were both residing in Eli's room, to mock being like a little family. The other plus side was that Celeste was an artist and worked from home, so she could watch Luke everyday.

It was really great that Eli's parents helped out as much as they did. It was making things so much easier than both the teens had thought it was going to be. Even Eva would help them with things like changing and putting him down for a nap. That made it 20 times better as well.

Sure, people talked. The school was a buzz about Clare and Eli and the baby. But like always, the two of them continued on with their days, ignoring what others said. It wasn't much different from how it was before. Rumors were rumors. They'd never completely go away.

Overall, their lives were pretty perfect.

But it had to be considered that Eli was still a teenage boy. And Clare a teenage girl. They both had things they wanted to do that Luke prevented. Celeste was very lenient on the rule of "when you're home, you take care of him." That didn't mean, however, that they could just skip out.

Sadly, it usually ended up with Clare at home taking care of Luke while Eli was missing in action.

One day in particular stuck out in everyone's mind. It had been about 3 weeks since Luke was born and Clare couldn't get over how beautiful he was. She wanted nothing more than to spend all her time with him. That was why she was planning on spending Friday night with him and her boyfriend.

Eli had other plans though. He picked his keys up on the table and jingled them in his hand subconsciously. He had made it to the door when Clare looked up from couch, their son cradled in her arms.

"Where are you going?" she questioned, slightly hurt. He sighed and rubbed the back of his neck.

"It's Friday night…I was going to go hang out with Adam," Eli answered, shuffling. He wanted to get out of there before a fight broke out. It seemed like Clare's hormones were worse after she had the baby. That was the only problem he found with their situation.

"I thought you said you were going to spend the night with Luke and me," the strawberry blond persisted.

He did remember promising that. However, he believed she would forget when the last day of the week rolled around.

"I…um…forgot," he lied, shrugging his shoulders. Clare sighed loudly.

"Whatever. I was just thinking that we could have one night. But go out…I'll stay home."

He felt like a jerk now. He had to make it better. "I'll be back by eight…I promise."

"Don't bother," Clare stood and rocked her baby, "He'll be asleep by then."

She walked out of the room and down the hall. Eli exhaled and left, with his conscious heavy.

Short chapter. But this is supposed to be like a prologue for the second part. Like always…review!
