WHAT AN ASSHOLE-CHAPTER 15
ELI'S PERSPECTIVE
"Why are you kissing him?" I screamed at her, asking her why, why would she do this to me again.
I thought she liked me.
"Eli, your so naive, this all just a game...and you just got played," Clare told me smiling as I watched her lift her right leg up behind her and kiss Jake passionately.
My heart raced, tears streaming down my face, as I watched Clare, the girl who controlled my heart with two breakable strings kiss Jake.
I couldn't speak, I didn't have any words to describe the feelings or express the emotions that were fighting to burst out of my body. I had nothing to say, besides I deserved this. I could have pulled her away from him the second I saw him. But, I didn't.
"Clare, please stop it," I mumbled trying to pry the two apart for three seconds just so I can see her face.
The sun peered through the doors, and it shined directly on Clare's face as she pulled away from Jake's lips and smiled at him as he whispered a joke in her ear. She tossed her head back, giggling lightly, and turning around to walk down the hall and completely ignore me.
I watched as her hips swayed from side to side, and Jake wrapped his left arm around her body and pulled her closer to him. They were so close, not even a chainsaw could tear them apart. I didn't care that everyone around me watched me stand in the middle of the hallway, gripping my binder in my right hand, as tears continued to stream down my face and fall onto my shirt.
"Clare..."I whispered so faintly that not even I could hear myself.
I gulped, clearing my dry throat, not wanting to let her go that easy.
When my feet decided to let me move, I started to run and chase after her.
"Clare! Please!" 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 people's heads turned.
I screamed it again, except louder and clearer so she could hear me.
"Why did you do this to me?" I screamed at her as she wrapped her arm around Jake and pulled him down into a kiss.
"STOP!" I screamed, sweat pouring down my face as I jolted out of the worst nightmare I've ever had. My chest heaved, as I squinted my eyes trying to see the time. I closed my eyes, and gulped, I screeched, noticing I had fallen on the floor.
"Fuck," I hissed as I heard a continuous loud banging on my door.
Who the fuck was at my house?
I got up slowly, holding the ice to my dick, and grabbed a bat near my steps heading to the door. I turned to glance at the time and noticed it was three a.m., who the fuck would be crazy enough to bang on my door this late and be confident that I wouldn't beat the shit out of them when I found out who it was.
I tried to force my eyes opened, as I shrieked in pain when I opened the door gripping the bat tightly in my hand.
"Eli," I heard a faint whisper and saw Clare standing in front of me.
I looked down at the broken girl on my doorstep and wondered why she would be here, at my house, at this time.
"Clare, what's wrong?" I asked her hissing in pain from any movement I made.
She looked up at me, lunging towards me and forcing her lips onto mine. I didn't stop her, but I didn't know why she was acting like this.
I pushed her away and asked, "Clare, what's gotten into you? Why are you here?"
"I love you Eli," she told me smiling and I smirked in confusion. This wasn't my Clare, what did 'they' do to her? She leaned in crushing her lips over mine, as I kissed her back, tilting her head up so my tongue could dive right into her mouth.
I couldn't do this. This wasn't right. Something was wrong.
"Clare, stop," I mumbled, my chest heaving from her breath taking attack on my lips.
I stared down at her, tears streaming down her face and I asked, "Clare, what's really going on here?"
"I thought you liked me, I thought that you would want to kiss me, your parents aren't home and I just thought I could see you," she whispered her bright blue eyes shining into my eyes. She forcefully pushed me into the wall behind my door and I hissed in pain.
"Clar-" I was silenced by her soft lips against mine.
She pulled away and glanced at me, I smiled not questioning her actions at this point. I smiled, as she was shoved aside, letting a loud shriek out, as I came face to face with Jake.
"Clare!" I screamed out her name as Jake entered my house, slamming and locking the door in the process.
"I'm going to have her forever! You'll never have her! You sick twisted fuck, you actually think she could ever love you! She'll never love a nobody. Why would she love a skinny jean eye liner applying man! What kind of man is that? Who do you think you are? You need to be put the act to rest!" He screamed at me pushing me onto my floor, the bat falling from my tight grip, and my head hitting the leg of my small table close to the door.
"What are you doing here Jake?" I asked him wheezing out, gripping my cock in the process making sure he wouldn't hit me there again.
Jake laughed at me, getting closer, as I tried to reach the bat, but my arm just wouldn't extend enough to let me reach it.
"Ah! Fuck!" I screeched out in pain when Jake slammed his foot onto my hand as it started to twitch in pain.
I closed my eyes, mumbled curse words, trying to regain feeling in my hand as I heard the light tapping of a bat against a hand. I looked up, wheezing in pain, and just trying to regain sight through the bright blue stars that had started to blur my vision.
"What are you doing Jake?" I asked my heart racing and my breath's not forming regularly.
Jake looked down at me, gripping the bat in his hand over his head and said, "I'm ending you. I'm ending this whole thing...right now. So now, you can never get Clare!"
"Don't!" I screamed out as I watched the bat lower and my eyes opened jolting out of yet another nightmare.
"Fuck," I breathed out as the sun peered through my window and I glanced at the clock. I tried to calm myself down but, it just wasn't working. I had this feeling that Jake was in my house with me and was going to pull a baseball bat out on me.
I looked around, loosening the grip of my shirt around my neck with my hand and feeling the sweat that had absorbed into it. I twitched when I saw the pool of water on my legs from the ice that had melted. I got up slowly, hissing in pain from the uncomfortable tightening and bruised feeling between my legs. Now I know what it feels like to be fucked. I'd never want to be a woman; they have it so...hard.
I laughed a little, but then sighed trying to regain my posture.
"Fucking prick," I mumbled shutting the T.V. off when I had unfortunately let my eyes see an unidentified species too early in the morning...
MONDAY MORNING AT SCHOOL
CLARE'S PERSPECTIVE
I smiled for the first time since I last saw Eli, as I glanced at him limp down the hall slowly.
Eli smirked at me, stopping next to my locker, and he whispered, "Hey."
I looked at him, my throat growing dry, and I smiled at him.
"Hey."
Eli sighed in complete happiness that I just said a word to him. Anything I said to him, whether it be 'hey did you get the homework for English?' or just 'hey," it would make him happy. I felt horrible seeing him all broken into pieces. Literally, he was limping and his lip had a huge slash in it.
After this weekend, I really had no words for anybody, after seeing Jake and Eli fight like that I had been shaken up and not feeling too good. I spent my whole weekend just sitting in my room and crying. I didn't eat, and I didn't want to. I had contemplated several times on getting up and trying to get myself to go over to Eli's and talk to him but I just couldn't handle it.
"Are you okay?" Eli asked me breaking me out of a trance.
I sighed, "Eli, you're asking me if I'm okay when you're basically walking on one leg and your face is all cut up." Eli smirked and held back a laugh, biting his lip, trying not to increase pain. I smiled, looking up at down at him, noticing he was holding a dream catcher in his hand.
"Why do you have a dream catcher?"I asked him smiling but not laughing because I didn't know why he needed it and didn't want to upset him.
He smirked and said, "O-oh this is for um, in case I fall asleep. Cece gave it to me because I haven't been sleeping well so if I happen to fall asleep in class...the dream catcher will catch my nightmares. I know it sounds stupid but-"
I cut him off and gripped his hand, "It isn't stupid Eli."
He smirked at me and I spoke from the heart, trying my best not to sound like a desperate whore who needed attention, "E-Eli, I was wondering if um, if you wanted to go on a date...with me. I'll take you out, everything on me, I think you deserve it."
Eli smiled at me and I asked, "How about after school?"
His smirk quickly turned into a frown and I said, "You don't want to go, do you?" I moved by him, quickly apologizing for receiving the wrong signals and Eli gripped my bicep causing my head to jolt up and he hissed in pain as he moved to face me.
"Clare, it's perfect, I'd love to go out on a date with you, it's just...I have a doctor's appointment after school," he told me sighing in an uncomfortable way.
I smiled and said, "O-oh, okay, but um, do you mind if I asked you why you were going to the doctor's? I mean, besides for all the bruises and stuff."
Eli glanced at me up at down, glaring, as if he was trying to distract himself from the true answer and I smiled gently when his eyes met my face. Eli sighed, gripping his book bag strap and his smirk shifted from side to side trying to determine whether to tell me or not.
"It's fine, you don't have to tell me, I was just wondering if you needed someone to go with because I know you like being a big macho man trying to act tough and it's just...you don't have to play that game with me Eli," I whispered turning away to get to my first class.
"Clare, wait!" He called out and I turned around swiftly.
"I'm...I'm r-really scared," he whispered and I walked closer to him as his chest started to rise gently. I watched as the boy I couldn't stop thinking about this whole weekend cry in front of me. I sniffled, holding back tears.
Was it weird that when he cried I had the urge to cry?
I was about to wrap my arms around him and tell him everything would be okay and I would go with him if he wanted me to, but, I jolted back watching Eli get shoved into his locker by Jake.
"Jake st-," I was cut off by Eli whose expression on his face turned from calm to angry within seconds.
It was as if he had two different personalities and I hated this side.
Eli glared at me, as if I had done something wrong, and he slipped his dream catcher in the right side of his book bag.
"Go away Clare," he glared at me turning to face Jake.
IF Jake hit him, he would get hurt more than he already was but Eli was not going to say "I'm not going to fight you because you already beat the shit out of me once and I don't need it again." Eli was as stubborn as a bull and would never back down from a fight to a kid who is in the process of ruining his life.
I felt the tension grow between the two and Jake asked, "How ya' feeling?"
Eli's nostrils flared and I slid between the two before Eli could fire.
"Jake, that's enough, go away," I ordered as he smiled and shook his head.
He smiled at me, grinning at Eli, and trying his best to get to him. Which, he was.
"I really had fun on our date Clare. I was looking forward to a second date, but maybe you'd care to explain to me how the rumor about you and Eli got started," Jake told me rising an eyebrow in suspicion even though he probably knew about whatever fucking rumor that got started now because he probably started it!
Eli leaned forward, trying to push me as gently as he could out of the way and I said, "Eli and I are both sick to our stomachs with this rumor shit, videos on Facebook and cyber bullying! There is so much shit on that website that ruined both our lives, and we learned our lesson. I've taken it upon myself to delete my account last night because unlike you, many of us have better things to do than record Eli being beat up."
My chest rose from speaking so quickly and Eli said, "Alright, that's enough. Jake, get your big fucking honker out of our business."
Jake glared at me, staring me up and down, undressing me with his eyes, and I glared at his two hands lying aimlessly by his side. I gulped, remembering them brushing up against my thigh after he had told me I only wanted attention.
"Anything wrong Clare? Any memories coming back to you that you'd care to re-act?" Jake asked and before I could respond Eli hissed in pain pushing Jake to the ground.
I glanced to my right and saw the principal coming down the hallway screaming Jake and Eli's name.
"This isn't over yet," Jake mumbled.
I held out a hand to Eli and he gripped it slowly, growling lowly in pain as he gently made his way to his feet.
"Thanks," he whispered and the principal started to lash out on all three of us.
"Why is it that every time I see you two, you're always at each other's throats? Do I need to get the guidance counselor involved?" He asked Eli and Jake as they shook their heads quicker than he can even finish the sentence.
"That's what I thought, both of you, to class, and as for you Clare," when he mentioned my name my head shot up and he said, "Come to my office with me please."
Eli glared at me, giving me a questioning look, and I shrugged my shoulders.
I walked away from the two, and listened to my heart race as I walked behind Principal Simpson and he led me into his office.
He closed the door behind him as I took a seat in front of his desk and sighed not knowing what I did wrong.
"Clare, listen I can trust you to give me an honest answer if I asked you questions, right?" I smiled lightly and nodded. "Good, because I'm really concerned for Eli. He's been getting in a lot of trouble lately, and his parents called me this morning because he left the school holding a dream catcher. He won't talk to his parents and I just want to know if you know anything about what's caused him to start acting so strangely? He's always been a good student, scoring high on tests, and never had behavioral problems."
Should I tell him the truth? Or lie.
Lie.
"Honestly sir, I don't know," I told him keeping it short and sweet. Even though I knew what the problem was. If I told him it was Jake, then Jake would be suspended and just try to get back at Eli for what I did to him.
I gulped and Principal Simpson spoke again, "But, I always see you around him. You have to know something that we don't." I shook my head and sighed knowing that after this conversation ends I have to find Eli and tell him to pull his shit together.
"Alright Clare, if anything changes with him and he's acting weird towards you, please, tell me for the sake of his health and his parents," he told me basically pleading me to tell the truth.
I got up, my legs feeling like Jell-O, and my mind racing with guilty thoughts.
"Sir," I got his attention before I could grip the doorknob and I turned to face him.
"Yes Clare?" He asked with a smile hoping I'd tell him what he really wants to hear.
"Never mind," I whispered quickly exiting the office and tears streamed down my eyes knowing I was caught in between Jake and Eli.
I bumped into a hard chest, and I glanced up at Eli.
"What happened? What did he talk to you about?" Eli asked me, placing both his hands on his on my shoulders causing me to look up into his eyes. Eli's eyes were soft, his touch was gentle, his voice caring, which meant…that Jake wasn't around.
I gulped and said, "He wants to know why you're acting so weird."
"Did you tell him the truth?" He asked worriedly.
I shook my head and started to walk by him feeling horrible that I lied to the fucking Principal. If he asked me any other question I could have avoided lying and told the cold hard truth.
"Clare, please," he begged while limping and his breath hitching in pain from trying to catch up to me.
I turned and asked, "What more do you want from me Eli? Simpson is right, you're acting weird, you're changing. I lied for you and I feel horrible. I just want things to be...normal again for us. Remember when we used to exchange dirty thoughts and fights about each other? I miss those times Eli, I really do."
Eli glanced down at me and asked, "Do you know what time I really miss Clare?"
He inched closer to me, as my breathing hitched, and he wiped a tear that fell from my right eye with his cold thumb. The ring on his thumb had brushed against my fiery red cheek and I swallowed hard trying to pull myself together.
"I miss this," he whispered tilting his head to the side, and lifting my neck up for our lips to touch. I felt relaxed, content, and comfortable. I wrapped my arms around Eli's neck pulling him closer down to me when I moved my head to the other side, and felt his tongue graze against my closed lips.
Nothing else mattered at this second, just us.
Eli smirked against my lips, his jawline becoming firm, and his tongue continued to massage my lips from the outside. I parted my lips, and let his tongue graze against my teeth. I pulled away slowly, already missing the connection we had, and just tried to find ways to breathe regularly once again.
"Is that a blush I see on Eli's face?" I asked him and he looked down, glancing at his feet and then back at me.
"Don't you miss that Clare? Doesn't if feel like when we kiss, everything else in the world around us, doesn't matter?" He asked me and I smiled.
"Then, who says that we can't be together? Who say's we can't team up against the world? We'd be invincible," he told me smirking.
He looked at me and said, "Sorry just got excited."
I laughed a little and said, "I got to get to class."
"Want me to walk you...girlfriend?" he asked me giving me a hesitant smile hoping I would say yes. I blinked a couple of times and he smirked.
I couldn't say no to him when he had that stupid grimace across his face.
"Eli, you can barely make it down the hallway without starting to cry because you're in so much pain. I think you should just go to your class," I told him my face turning pale.
Eli's face had turned expressionless and I smiled, "But um, I'll see you after school...boyfriend."
