This chapter is basically OOC along with the next one, but it works.
CLARE POV
I was still in my robe when Kristin left.
"Hey why don't you get changed so I can make some scrambled eggs for us?" Eli said
"You cook?" I said sarcastically
"Only scrambled eggs, everything else I make unless it's cooked in a microwave tends to burn." Eli stated I giggled
"Ok I'll get dressed" I then gave Eli as kiss before getting dressed.
I looked in my room and noticed Eli had opened both of my boxes and went through them looking for the clothes he gave me which I better get back. I picked out my outfit to wear today which consists of tight short denim jeans and a black Evanescence t-shirt that was way too long. I looked in the mirror and the shirt covered the shorts making it seem like I was only in a t-shirt just like I had planned.
I was about to do my hair when my phone rang. It was my mom.
"Hey mom" I said into the phone
"Hey Clare, I'm sorry, but I'm swamped at work again I'll be staying at June's for the next two weeks or longer don't worry , June has clothes here that she gave me they're too small for her, Eli can stay there with you."
"Mom, Eli goes to Degrassi still and I would like a mother once in a while. Then there's food we have no money here, I'm being stalked at school literally by some guy named Matt he even came to the house mom. I kinda need you here."
"Honey, there's nothing I can do unless you want me to quit? Look, just tell the principal on Monday, there's a credit card in my dresser it has about $3,000 on it and your father has been adding about $500 for child support each week even before we got the divorce he's added money to it, basically for emergencies. I'll call your father and tell him about the stalker and see if he can pay for an alarm system or something. I'll try to come home as soon as I can, I'll send people from work to check up on you too and have someone surveillance the house until the alarm system gets put in. I really need to go. I love you"
Then I heard a click.
Gee thanks mom I thought, but at least she was still protective of me. I then did my hair and went downstairs.
Eli was just putting the eggs on a plate when I walked into the kitchen. I decided to sneak up behind him after he put the pan down.
I put my arms around his waist causing him to jump.
"God Clare, couldn't you be less sneaky?" Eli asked removing my hands.
"Yes, if I wanted to" I said to him
Eli then turned around.
"What's with the t-shirt?" He asked as we sat down to eat breakfast
"I found it, in a box Darcy must have left it, why don't you like it?" I asked
"As much as I like the idea of you wearing nothing but a t-shirt, your mom could come walking in."
"Well who said I was in just a t-shirt, and my mom won't be home for two weeks." I stated Eli raised an eyebrow
"Two weeks?"
"Yup she called and told me to use her credit card there's over $3,000 on it" I said taking a bite to eat.
"Well, then I guess I'll just have to stay with you for the two weeks." Eli stated
"What about school?" I said
"Well school still starts at 8, I can wake up at 7:00, and leave by 7:45, what time do you start school?"
"8:15, don't worry Kristin and Justin walk to school also so I'll just walk with them."
"See everything works I could even pick you up after school and take you out to lunch during school."
"Speaking of which what about English?"
"Well Ms. Dawes understands how I feel and told me since there's an odd number of students now, and I'm still with you, she's allowing me to work on my own as long as you edit my work."
"Good."
"So what do we do today?" Eli said as we finished eating
"Well rumor has it you have a fake ID"
"Yea and?"
"And I would like some drinks, maybe have a party, we can invite some friends for the night."
"Wow Clare you're becoming quite the rebel" Eli smirked as he cleared the table and washed off dishes and put them in the dishwasher. I giggled. "Well if we're going out you definitely need to change your outfit."
"I do have shorts on underneath" I said as we finished cleaning up
"Well you can't tell and I do want to have to get into a fight because some guy is checking you out."
"Ok I'll change." I said
I then went to my room and changed into a pair of blue skinny jeans with a hot pink t-shirt with a rhinestone studded skull and crossbones that Alli had given me before she left, the shirt was a little tight, I then slipped on a pair of black flats and went to get my mom's credit card, once I had it I put it in my purse and walked downstairs.
Eli was sitting on the couch when I seen him.
"Ready?" I asked
He stood up and turned around.
"Clare, put a jacket on or I'll rip that shirt off and take you right here"
Not wanting Eli to rip off my shirt I put on a jacket and zipped it up. We then left the house.
"I texted Adam letting him know what was going on and we're now picking up him and Fi" I said as we headed out the door.
"Ok Kristin is bringing Justin I'm texting her when we get back."
"Ok." Eli said as I checked to make sure I locked the door.
We then headed into Morty and drove off to Eli's so he can get clothes I waited in Morty. Eli didn't really take all that long I jumped when he opened the back of Morty to put his bags inside.
"Aww you changed I was hoping I'd still get the pajama bottoms and the shirt" I groaned
"Don't worry they're in my duffel bag." he smirked as we drove off to Fi's
"I'm going to text Adam since I don't feel like going up to get them" Eli said as we got in front of Fi's condo
"Ok I told Kristin we'll be home in half an hour."
"Ok and they're coming down now, they'll just have to sit in the back or something"
"Well Fi can sit next to me"
Just then Fi and Adam came outside and got into Morty. I moved closer to Eli to give him some room. Adam put a small suitcase in the back with him and Fi kept one of hers on her lap as she sat next to me.
Eli raised a eyebrow at as if to ask why he has a suitcase.
"It contains both of our things for the night" Adam said looking at the suitcase that was next to him "So where are we going to now?" Adam asked as Eli pulled away
"I thought we were going to Clare's" Fi replied
"We are, we're just stopping for some alcohol first" Eli said
"And how do we do that?" Fi asked
"Eli has a fake ID and my mom's credit card." I said
"Oh Eli take my credit card, buy me two bottles of two bottles of Krug, Clos Du Mesnil 1995(1)? Oh and I'll buy the rest of the drinks so we don't need to use the money from Clare's mom"
"Sure, but you'll have to write the brands down or Adam and I won't remember them" Eli said
"Dude, I can't no ID" Adam said
"On the contrary, I made up a fake for you last week, but we've been busy I just didn't find the time to give it to you"
"Oh, well then I guess I'm going inside too."
"We're here Adam" Eli said as he pulled into a parking spot.
Adam and Eli then got out and went inside. I was happy Eli still had my mom's credit card so they didn't put too much money on Fi's.
"I hope they have it." Fi said
"Why wouldn't they?"
"Its really expensive not many places carry it because of the price." Fi said sadly
Just then Adam came out.
"Fi are you sure you want two bottles of the Cristal Brut it's like extremely expensive"
"Yea it's not that expensive only like 900 dollars a bottle." Fi said nonchalantly
"It's 770 dollars here" Adam replied
"Get four then." Fi replied excitedly
Adam then left and I looked over at Fi.
"What you gotta have the good stuff, it'll be for just the two of us. So when does your mom come back?"
"Who knows." I said "She said she'll try to be home in two weeks last time I talked to her."
"Does Eli know?"
"No I told him she's coming home in two weeks and he's staying with me."
"Oh, I bought wine and shot glasses I hope you don't mind."
"No I don't I was going to have Eli stop to get some."
Just then Adam and Eli walked out each having two bags, they carefully sat them in the back. Then we were off to my house.
1. The Second most expensive champagne(I googled it) I was going to use the first expensive one, but the price was 17k for a bottle.
