Eli's POV

I can't even look at her. I know I should be able to, but I can't. I wish it wasn't this way with me and Rachael, but it is and I can't change it now. Not after everything that's happened.

There's a small knock on the door.

"Rach," We hear from the front door. Chelsea walks into the kitchen.

"Chels," Rachael squeals running to hug her.

"Oh my god I'm so happy you're back. How was New York, tell me everything," Chelsea gushes.

At this point my whole body is tense and I think Clare notices because she takes my hand and gives me a weird look. Chelsea and Rachael pull apart.

"New York was amazing, but I missed you," Rachael says.

"I missed you too," Chelsea smiles. Her eyes shift to Adam, Clare and then to me. When her eyes set on me, she smiles lightly.

"Oh sorry, guys this is Chelsea. Chelsea this is Eli's friend Adam and his girlfriend Clare," Rachael says introducing everyone.

"Hi nice to meet you," Chelsea smiles.

"You too," Clare says and Adam nods.

"How are you Eli," Chelsea asks. I look up from the floor, a little taken back.

"Uhm fine thanks," I says not meeting her eyes. She pats my arm lightly.

"Hey why don't I show you some pictures from when I was in New York," Rachael says taking Chelsea's arm. They run up the stairs to her room.

I let my body relax and my muscle untighten.

"What is up with you," Clare asks obviously annoyed.

"Nothing's up," I lie.

"Really Eli, are you really gonna pull that? I obviously know when something's wrong and when you're hiding things from me. I thought we were supposed to be honest with each other, but you know what nevermind. I'm so sick of you hiding things from me. Haven't you learned by now that you can let me in and trust me," Clare sighs heavily then walks out into the living room, opening the front door and slamming it hard as she leaves.

I sigh heavily and run my hands through my hair.

"Wow she's really mad," Adam says.

"Yeah I know," I say.

"You know I'm a little upset with you too. I mean I thought we were buds and yet here you are hiding a sister. What the H man," Adam says.

"Look I'm sorry okay. It's just…to put it lightly, we got in a pretty big fight and the next thing I know she's on a plane headed to New York. We both said some things we didn't mean and it's too late to take them back now okay," I sigh.

"Oh well why don't you just tell Clare that," Adam asks. I sigh again not really wanting to continue this conversation.

"Adam just shut up and hand me a cookie," I say turning around. I look at the tray to find it empty.

"Really," I say. Adam shrugs and smile innocently.

"Sorry I was hungry," He says.

Clare's POV

"Hello," I say into the phone.

"Meet me at the park," Eli says from the other end.

"Wow I left your house, what, like five minutes ago. I thought it wouldve taken you longer to call," I say rolling my eyes.

"Just meet me Edwards," He says sounding annoyed.

I hang up and walk to the park to find Eli sitting under a big oak tree.

"Hey I didn't know if you'd actually show," Eli smiles.

"Well I'm here, so what's up," I ask getting annoyed.

"Look it's a long story. So I'm just gonna tell you what I told Adam, okay," He sighs. He waits for me to say something, but when I don't he continues.

Rachael and I got in a pretty big fight and the next thing I knew she was on a plane headed to New York. There were things said that shouldn't have been and I wish I could take them back, but I think it's a little too late," He says.

He looks at me to say something, but I stay quiet looking at the ground.

"Chelsea is Julia's sister," He almost whispers.

My head shoots up to look at him. "I haven't seen her since the funeral and it was just really weird seeing her again. I didn't mean to upset you by not telling you all this. I don't know, I was just trying to move on from it, but I guess they lie to you when they say the past is in the past huh," He says.

"I'm sorry I got so mad. It's just I don't want you to feel like you can't talk to me. So how long has it been since you've seen Rachael," I ask.

He sighs and scratches the back of his neck. "A year or so."

"I'm guessing the fight wasn't about you stealing her eyeliner," I joke.

"No, it was a little more serious than that," He says.

"Well I'm glad you filled me in a little. Thanks," I smile.

" Me too," Eli says pulling me into a hug. "I love you Clare."

"I love you too Eli," I smile.

Adam's POV

I lean against the fence in the school parking lot waiting for Eli, Clare, and Rachael. When they get out Clare and Rachael are laughing about something.

"Looks like those two hit it off," I say walking up to Eli.

"Mhm," He says. I look up and stop dead in my tracks.

"Adam what..," Eli trails off when he sees what I'm staring at.

Fiona looks up from her book to meet my gaze. She gives me a hurt yet angry look then quickly returns to her book.

I sigh. "It's okay man. She'll get over it," Eli says patting my shoulder.

"Yeah well I'm not so sure I want her to get over it. I mean if she gets over it, then she gets over me and well I don't know if I can handle that," I say.

We walk up the stairs to catch up to Clare and Rachael.

"I can't wait for you to meet Ali. She's gonna love you," Clare says to Rachael.

"I can't wait to meet her either. From what you say, she seems awesome," Rachael giggles.

I can't help but check her out. I mean she's beyond georgous. Because she's new, she doesn't have to wear the ugly school unifroms, so she wore dark skinny jeans, black heeks and a white off the shoulder shirt with black lace all up the back. Her and Eli are complete opposites when it comes to clothing choice.

Eli catches me starting at her and smacks me on the back of the head. "Hey don't get any ideas. She's still my sister, man. Bro Code," He smirks.

Stupid Bro Code!

I decided to write a note on bottom this time, you know switch things up. So who guessed that Chelsea was Julia's sister? Anyone? Well this chapter wasn't as short as I thought it was. haha Hope you liked it. REVIEW! Love, Anernerk
