WHAT AN ASSHOLE-CHAPTER 14
ELI'S PERSPECTIVE
I feel like my whole world has suddenly came crashing down on my shoulders, hard. The feeling that was in my heart, the feeling that usually kept me going, is slowly disappearing. I feel as if my identity was shattered right from beneath me.
Sometimes, I wish that I could go back to last night at the movie theater. Oh, how I'd change everything.
I would rip Clare away from Jake's arms as quick as I could and wrap my arms around her to hold her close. I'd never let go. Ever.
But, too bad that's not fucking possible.
I can't go back, I can't change the past.
The only thing I have control in, the only thing I can possibly try my best to withhold in my hands, is my future.
I wiped the tears that streamed down my face as I turned the ignition on in my car and sighed trying to think if I actually wanted to go through with this. I had to do this; there was no question about it. I had to do it for Clare, whether she liked it or not.
"Adam, I'm going through with it. He's going to regret he every got acquainted with Eli Goldsworthy.-Eli"
I shot Adam a text and slammed right foot on the accelerator, not looking back and only looking ahead, to my lonely future...
CLARE'S PERSPECTIVE
"We have to stop him! He's making a huge mistake!" I screamed at Adam trying to get passed him but he wasn't budging out of the doorway of the Dot if my life depended on it.
Adam shook his head and said, "Clare, Jake deserves it! He had all of this coming!"
"Violence isn't the answer Adam, he shouldn't be hit because of what he so called did to me," I told him my chest rising up and down from screaming at Adam.
I glared at Adam, moving from side to side, trying to duck and go around him, but he wasn't going to move.
"So called? He did hurt you Clare!" Adam screamed at me and I just stopped trying and asked, "Then, what do we do?"
Adam looked at me and said, "We wait right here. I don't want you near them."
He forced me back to sit, as I nervously tapped my fingers on the table and constantly looked out the window, hoping Eli would show up and be okay...
ELI'S PERSPECTIVE
I waited outside his house, opening my driver's window and hanging my feet outside of it, getting comfortable of course.
My phone rang so many times in the last hour, I'm sure Clare had found out that I've decided to take it upon myself to personally remove Jake out of this equation we have here.
I tossed my phone in the back of my hearse, and laughed pathetically.
Now she cares about me.
I have to put myself in danger for her to care about me, some relationship we have going on Clare. I pulled out my newspaper, and continued to read the most depressing stories in the world. I could wait here all day, I got my paper, the sun is out, the birds are chirping, and everything in my life is just the way it's supposed to be. What could be better?
If Clare and I would be together...that would make this a tad better.
"Elijah Goldsworthy? What brings you to my humble abode?" Jake asked snapping me out of a trance of Clare.
I smirked, and placed the paper down on the passenger seat and opening the door to step out and stretch my arms out.
"Heard you and Clare had a crazy night last night," he told me, smiling and shoving his hands in his pockets.
I gulped, and sighed with a smirk spread across my face, "First, you deserve this."
My fist "uncontrollably" pulled back and slammed into his nose causing his knees to give out as he tried to balance himself.
"Next, Jake, would you like to explain to me how Clare had bruises on her waist?" I continued, "Hm, good question, right? Because, she thinks I did that to her. And..." I laughed pathetically and spit on the ground near him as he attempted to stand.
"Me and you both know that I didn't lay a finger on her Jake," I told him with a hoarse voice.
Jake stood up, getting in my face, and trying to do what I did.
Except, I caught Jake's fist in my hand and shook it, bringing it back to his side.
"It's not going to work Jake, I'm stronger than you, mentally and physically," I hissed as he smiled. "Oh really? Is that what your mom tells you every day when you wake up?" He asked me trying to verbally get back at me.
I laughed and threw my hands up in the air, "At least my mom doesn't lie to me."
My fist fired once again as he lay beneath me on the floor, trembling, just the way I liked my lying victims.
"I give up, alright, I give up!" He screamed.
Those three words, those three little words that make my life five hundred percent better, even though it still sucks and beating Jake up will probably get Clare to resent me even more.
I held out a hand and said, "I might be the biggest asshole you'll ever meet, but I do have some class."
Jake took my hand as I pulled him onto his feet.
"Thanks, but, you do know I'm not telling Clare the truth," he told me.
I laughed pathetically, "You know what Jake, no one asked you to do the right things in life. They just assume you'd have common sense. But, then again, evolution says we all came from monkeys, too bad the human part never formed for you yet."
Jake took me off guard, firing his right fist at my face so hard I spun around falling flat on my face.
I growled, looking down at my mouth seeing blood pouring out of it.
That's it.
It's fucking on like Donkey Kong bitch.
CLARE'S PERSPECTIVE
"Adam, please, can we leave, he hasn't answered his phone in two hours. What if he's hurt?" I asked Adam while he sipped his water and bit into his hamburger not seeming to have a care in the world.
"Clare, when he's done, or when he's home or whenever, he'll call. Trust me, this isn't the first time Goldsworthy has gotten into a 'fight' with someone," Adam told me, just trying to relax me even though as every second passed, I felt guiltier and guiltier for not stopping it.
I looked down at the table, and glanced at my phone. Since I haven't checked it since yesterday, I decided to take this as an opportunity to check it.
My eyes searched for my latest texts that Jake had sent me from last night:
"Clare, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to touch you like that. -Jake"
"Clare, please text me back, I'm sorry. -Jake"
"Hope you're okay, you're probably with Emo Boy. Have fun. -Jake."
"Why are you being so difficult? Boyfriends are supposed to touch girlfriends. -Jake"
"Now you are really over reacting, I just wanted to make you feel good. -Jake"
"Call me if you care about me. -Jake"
My eyes shot up to Adam and I said, "He was telling the truth."
Adam licked his fingers and I shot up from the booth, dialing Eli's number and looking both ways as I ran across the street, down a couple of blocks to the one place Eli would be.
Jake's house.
ELI'S PERSPECTIVE
"Eli stop! Stop!" I heard a faint scream in my right ear as I pounded Jake's face in with my fist.
I looked to my left, and saw Clare, standing far away, distancing herself from the scene. I let Jake go, letting him fall to the floor and I asked, "What are you doing here Clare? I told Adam to keep you away."
Clare glanced at me and said, "I'm so sorry Eli."
What the fuck was she apologizing for? I'm the one that ruined her.
"Don't apologize, just save it and get the fuck out of here Clare," I told her as she stood her ground, placing her hand on her hip.
I've officially driven into Fuckville, and she was the mayor.
"Clare, don't give me that shit," I growled.
Jake moaned getting up off his feet and asked, "Do you know what this nut job did to me Clare?"
She giggled, and wiped the tears falling from her face, "Yeah, I do."
"Aren't you going to do anything about it?" Jake asked getting infuriated.
Clare shook her head slowly, looking down at the floor, and I waited impatiently for her to talk. She remained silent, as I hoped she was taking this time to remember what happened last night. I glared at her, trying to read her, but she was so confusing and complex to figure out.
"He's not the nut job, you are," Clare spoke softly placing everything together slowly but surely.
She moved towards us, as I moved out of her way.
"You're the asshole! You're the one that tried to feel me up in the movie theater! I remember everything so clearly now. You held onto my waist when I struggled and I told you to let go of me...I remember. And, you bruised me. You kissed me when I told you not to. It was you, Jake. It wasn't Eli. You're the Asshole."
I gulped, smirking and just going along with this.
"What are you talking about Clare? I'm the one who saved you from him remember. I'm the one who saved you that time in the bathroom when you couldn't find your glasses. I am the one that helped you get through this shit with him," Jake growled.
I watched Clare cry uncontrollably and she shook her head biting her lip, "No Jake. No. 'This' wouldn't have happened if you weren't around."
"Are you kidding me? Are you fucking kidding me Clare?" Jake screamed at her, scaring her, creeping her out, making her cry. I think we all had enough of this for one day. All of this drama was unhealthy to deal with. It wasn't getting any of us anywhere because we would all just deny it and keep fighting.
"Alright, I think that's enough, Clare go home," I ordered at her.
Clare nodded and we both knew she couldn't handle this right now. I saw Adam and nodded at him, watching him wrap his arms around her and walk her across the street and kept walking until I couldn't see them anymore.
"I guess this is over, this feud, we're done," I told him breathing out and wiping my bleeding lip.
Jake shook his head and said, "This feud is just getting fucking started."
"Wha-?" my mouth shut when his cleat came in contact with my dick and once again my nuts were punished. My legs collapsed and I fell to the ground, hissing in pain and wishing to be anywhere but here.
Jake laughed as I felt my muscles weakened by the second.
"Get off my property, or I'll call the police," he growled at me and I laughed pathetically.
I tried to lift my head, but my lower body was aching in so many ways possible, I couldn't stand.
"Will do, once my fucking ball sack comes back to my body," I hissed.
Jake tossed his head back, laughing hysterically and I asked, "What?"
"I recorded that whole kicking you in the dick bro, funny shit, can't wait to...I don't know...re play it four billion times and possibly, upload it on Facebook?" He asked a rhetorical question because I knew I had no control over it.
I growled, standing on my feet slowly, with no one to help me stand on my own.
"You can do whatever the fuck you want, you're the sick bastard that records things on your porch, not me," I hissed in pain when my dick rubbed against my jeans and the second I got myself to sit in my car, I sped away, letting the tears flow down my cheek.
After these two days, my nuts will never be the same...
5 HOURS LATER
"Yeah, I got her back to her house and I'm pretty sure she's sleeping everything off right now," Adam told me over the phone as I twiddled with my fingers.
I readjusted the ice covering my dick and sighed, enjoying the silence of my house.
"Man, what happens when you can't feel your dick?" I asked Adam, knowing he probably doesn't know the answer but it's worth a shot.
He sighed, "I'm a female to male transgender remember? And, my advice to you would be to go see a doctor."
I shook my head, gulping, and flipping through the channel, "I'm scared of the doctor. I don't want to go there. They'd touch me."
Adam bursted out in laughter and then he stopped, "Eli, you should honestly see a doctor tomorrow if it still hurts. Anyway, let's change the awkward topic, did you happen to see…?"
I nodded, "Yep, I saw the glorious video that Jake posted on Facebook, and I'm just so thankful he tagged me in it so I can see it in fucking play by play!"
My eyes watched the T.V., as I rewinded and forwarded through the video Jake had put on Facebook. I successfully hooked up my laptop to my T.V., so I could sit here and laugh at myself. Is that sick or what? I don't give a fuck, even I think it's funny.
"Relax man, I think if you keep watching it, it's just going to make you feel worse," Adam told me and I sighed, just wanting to be left alone for the rest of the weekend.
Possibly, the rest of my life.
"I think I'm just going to sleep this off," I told Adam because honestly, I was fighting my eyes to stay awake for no reason.
"Alright man, get some sleep, I'll call you tomorrow. If you want me to, I'll go to the doctor with you tomorrow," he told me just trying to be a good friend but, on a serious note, I wasn't going to go to the doctor to have them touch my nuts.
"I'm not going there," I told him and continued, "Night man."
I hung up by accident before Adam could respond, and the last thing my eyes saw was Jake's face that was frozen on my TV...

PREVIEW...
ELI'S PERSPECTIVE
When my feet decided to let me move, I started to run and chase after her.
"Clare! Please!" I screamed out to her, but, no matter how fast I ran, they ran faster. Jake snaked her arm around Clare tighter, and the sight broke my heart into pieces. But this time, no one, not even Clare could pick up the shattered pieces.
I stopped when I had come to a dead end, and I heard a faint giggle in the distance.
Clare.
My head spun around faster than lightning, and I spotted Clare down the hallway with Jake holding her by his side. It was as if they were cemented together, destined to be together, forever they would be together.
I shook my head, watching them giggle and be happy meanwhile I was left with nothing and no one to hold close to me.
"Why did you do this to me?" I screamed out to her as heads turned.
OKAY, SO WHO CAN'T WAIT TO KNOW WTF IS GOING ON? ;)
