Adam's POV After we had eaten dinner, Jenna and Clare finally came down.
"What kept you so long?" Jenna and Clare looked at each other.
"Um... Clare had a knot in the back of her hair and she needed my help getting it out." Clare sighed in relief that Jenna came up with something to say. I can see it in Clare's face when she is lying.
After everyone went to bed, I got up. It was about 12:30 midnight and snuck into Becky's room. Becky was sitting on her bed, upright and reading a book.
"What you doing up so late?" She didn't look up at me but rather put her book down and kept staring at the bed.
"Um.. I couldn't sleep." I sat down on the bed next to her. She looked away.
"Do you want me to go get you some Advil PM?" She looked up and into my eyes for the first time since I arrived.
"Okay Adam... Thank you." I got up and slipped out the door. I ran downstairs and grabbed the Advil PM bottle out of the cabinet. When I got upstairs Becky was sitting in front of her vanity set. I leaned over and handed her the pills.
"Adam... Do you think I am making a mistake? She stood up and looked into my eyes.
"What do you think?" I leaned in and kissed her passionately. She didn't seem to push me away. After about a couple heavy seconds of kissing I backed up.
"I am sorry, that wasn't smart to do..."
"No Adam it is okay. I knew I was making a mistake and... well.. I love you." I stood back in amazement at what had just come out the woman I love's mouth.
"Becky, Eli is my best friend. Even though I admit I came here to break apart the wedding, I just can't do that to Eli. He is like my brother." I started to leave but Becky grabbed my arm in protest.
"Adam, I think.. I think Eli still has feelings for Clare. Do you really want to see me take away the one thing Clare really has left in the world?" I started to think.
"Becky, I can't do this..." She put her hands on my chest and kissed me again.
Eli's POV
I had just woke up after hearing some noise coming from down the stairs. Becky's room was cracked open and I stood in the hallway and watched what happened.
"Becky, I can't do this..." She put her hand on his chest. I could not believe what I was seeing.
"Adam, please. I know that Clare still has feelings for Eli." She turned around and continued.
"I can see it when he looks at her." Becky started to tear up and I was about to go in there and protest, but I knew that she was right.
"Becky... Just because Eli has some unresolved feelings for Clare still and Clare the same, it doesn't mean you have to jump on the first guy you see."
"But Adam, I have known since you walked in this house that I still had feelings for you." Adam stopped and kissed her. Oddly enough, I didn't feel mad, or even go inside. Instead I snuck quietly across the hall into Clare's room.
Clare's POV
I was reading a book because I couldn't sleep. After the day I had with Eli, it almost felt impossible to think about anything else. When I flipped to my place I left off in "Vampire Doctors", I read about 3 pages until I heard a quiet knock on my door. I got off the bed, making sure I kept my finger in the right place, and I unlocked the door. As soon as I unlocked the door, it opened and a pair of lips attacked me. I knew it was Eli because no one else would have done that. I backed off and looked up and started to cry.
"Eli, you know what I said. Now you are just toying with my emotions." Eli placed his palm on my cheek.
"Clare. I love you. I know what you said on the beach today, but I need you to know that I still love you!" We were trying our best to whisper but it came off more as a quiet talking.
"Eli.. I already said my position. I am not changing my mine." He looked down into my eyes daringly.
"Clare, at least give me tonight. I want to spent one night with you before I have to go off with someone that I don't love. Give me the chance to spend one last night with the girl I actually love." He grabbed my hand and walked closer to my bed. I didn't move. Eli looked in my eyes lovingly and gave me the "come here" gesture with his finger. I unlocked our hands and headed toward the door.
After I locked the door I sat back down and lied on the bed next to Eli. He rolled on top of me and kissed me passionately. I was actually happy that he changed my mind and that I got to spend one last night with the guy I love.
Eli's POV
1 Day till the wedding
I got up about 6am and shook Clare slightly.
"Clare, I am going back in my room okay?" She smiled and kissed me on the cheek gently. As I slipped out of the room I heard her whisper the words, "I love you." I smiled and snuck back across the hall. When I arrived at my door, I didn't go in. I peaked in Adam's room (which is right across the hall) and to show that he was not in there. I knew what he and Becky did. But it isn't like I could argue that it wasn't right. I actually felt a little happy for them.
At breakfast hardly anyone spoke. I just sat there next to Becky as usual and tried to play along with our usual routine of giggling and kissing. Becky was acting WAY more weird than I was. At least Clare and I tried to avoid each other and pretend it didn't happen. Becky and Adam kept looking at each other and smiling. While the girls went out today to go to the spa and get their hair done, Jake, Adam and I stayed and played on the ex-box all day. I knew that the girls were going out to the bar today too, for the bachelorette party. So us guys had our own bachelor party with beer, and Call of duty, Black Ops 2.
It was about 6pm and I was freaking out. I pulled Jake into the hallway while Adam was playing.
"Jake, I think I am making a mistake getting married tomorrow. I think I love Clare more then Becky... I don't even think I love Becky at all. And on top of that Becky slept with Adam last night, and I slept with Clare. But Adam and Becky don't know I know they slept together and Clare doesn't know they slept together or know that I know they slept together. And They don't know me and Clare slept together."
Jake's POV
I sat there listening to Eli while he babbled on.
"Whoa, dude you slept with my sister and you are getting married tomorrow?"
"Might be getting married." I sat there and thought. I have no idea what to say.
"Well, dude. I think you need to tell Becky everything and base your decision off what she says."
"That's a good idea dude, thanks Bro!" We hugged and went back to our beer and Black Ops.
Clare's POV
When we got home, we found the guys all passed out on the couch. We girls grabbed our shopping bags and headed upstairs for a goodnight sleep. Little did we know, that tomorrow would let all hell break loose.
