Eli's POV
Clare's parents had called me an hour ago wondering if I knew where she was. I could tell they were worried.
I called Adam and picked him up to help me look for and I sit in Morty trying to think of anyway Clare would go. I call her for the fifteenth time.
I hear a beep from the reseving end whichs means she picked up.
Before she can say anything I speak, "Where…." She cuts me off. "I'm at the park. Near the swings." Then she hangs up.
I sigh placing my phone back in my pocket. "Where is she," Adam asks concerned. "The park," I say.
"What's she doing there," He asks. I shrug flipping Morty into drive. I park on the side of the road and me and Adam jog over to Clare.
I can tell she's been crying. We both sit down next to her. "Clare, what's going on," I ask, looking into her eyes.
"They're getting a divorce, " She sobs. I doesn't take a genius to realize that she's talking about her parents.
"I thought you said they were getting along," Adam asks.
"That's what I thought. I guess they're good at hiding things from me," Clare sniffs. My eyes land on a shiny bottle next to her.
"Are you drinking," I ask a little shocked. She nods slowly.
"Drinking's not going to solve your problems Clare," I sigh frustrated.
"I know, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I made you guys worry," She says as tears roll down her cheeks. I lean forward and wipe the tears away with my thumb.
"We're just glad you're okay. Everything's going to work out. I promi…."
"You can't promise me that, Eli," Clare whispers.
"Well it's okay or it isn't. Either way we are going to be here for you," Adam says. Clare smiles.
"Thanks. I don't know what I'd do without you two," She says, taking one of my hands and one of Adam's into hers.
"What are we here for? We should probably get you home so your parents don't worry more," I say helping her to her feet.
She wraps her arm around me as we make our way back to Morty.
Again sorry it's so short.
