Chapter 5
Clare's Point of View
My eyes widen as I feel warm lips press against my plump dark pink ones. I couldn't pull away...It felt like was in a trance... My lids slowly close as I kissed him back, my hands roaming into his messy hair. I pull back needing breath, my eyes still tightly closed. 'I shouldn't have done that...I'm not going to hear the end of it from Alli... Or anyone for that matter...' I thought, opening my eyes, and biting my lip roughly drawing a bit of blood. I could taste the metallic taste in my mouth on my taste buds. I see Jake reach up and wipe the bit of blood off of my lower lip. I look into his dark brown eyes... I could see what he was feeling... love, happiness, confusion...and even envy. 'What could he be jealous of...?' I thought, confused. I hear someone clearing their throat and it was currently not Jake. I look beside me and my eyes almost pop out of my head. 'I Forgot Eli was right over there! I was too caught up with Jake to even notice!' My mind screamed at me.
"Jake...Can I talk with you for a minute?" Eli asked trying to keep his anger in. I see Jake glance away from me and to Eli. Then he looks back at me and I nod to him telling him It's alright to step away to talk to Eli for a minute. Jake stood up and pushed his chair away from him so he could step away; they walked over to the entrance of the building and walked out, which left me with a strange girl that had been with Eli.
Jake's Point of View
I walk out of the building with Eli and he stood facing the parking lot with me staring at his back.
"What is it you wanted to talk about?" Jake Asked, with a smirk on his face knowing what Eli had to talk about. It was way too obvious.
"Why...Why did you kiss Clare!"He yelled, turning around to face me.
"Why would something like that bother you, Eli? It's not like you like her, you love Juila." I spoke, saying something that would possibly piss him off more than he was already.
"It doesn't bother me! It was just uncalled for! Of Course I don't like Clare, I love Juila and that's the way it's going to stay!" He said, still yelling.
"We'll see..." I mumbled to myself, but knowing Eli he had heard to. I dragged my feet back into the building and made my way back to Clare.
"HEY! What's that supposed to mean!" Eli yelled after me, I chuckled and shoved my hands into my slacks.
Clare's Point of View
I tap my fingers on the table waiting for Jake to come back so we could continue our date. I still wonder why he had envy in his eyes...What was he jealous over...? Eli? My eyes widen at the thought of Jake being jealous ignorant bastard. Why would he even be jealous of him? He's an ignorant jerk! Jake is way better then Eli! I would pick Jake over Eli any day. I glance beside me and I see the girl that had been beside Eli moments ago. She looked like she was ignorant just like Eli. 'Well I shouldn't be surprised... I should have seen it coming that she would be like Eli in a way.' My eyes glance over to the entrance and I see Jake with his hands shoved into his slacks with a mad Eli coming at him full speed. I gasp as Eli grabs hold of Jake by his neck and slams him up against the nearby wall. I throw my chair back and run up to them, coming to a quick stop I grab hold of Eli's arm pulling it back but his hand was still around Jake's neck.
"Eli, Don't! Please don't!" I shrieked, pulling back more and looking up and him with pleading eyes, he turns his head to look at me. I could feel tears sting my eyes, blinking a couple of times they all just poured down my pale cheeks.
"Clare... Let go of me" Eli growled, turning his head back to face Jake. He leans up to Jake's ear and whispers into it.
"Consider this a warning; I won't hesitate to hurt you next time... Got it?" He said loud enough for me to hear. He let go of Jake and I let go of him and he walked back to the girl that was back at the table.
"Jake, are you okay?" I asked worried "Of course you're not okay, what am I-"I was cut off from my rambling by Jake's lips crashing against mine. I try to say the rest of what I was saying before, but Jake wouldn't allow me to; He wrapped his arms around my waist. I snake my arms around his neck, pulling him closer, closing the space between us. Running my hands up and into his hair I start to nibble on his bottom lip, He thought the opposite and opened his mouth allowing me entrance. I moan against his lips making a smirk appear, His hands move from my waist to my thighs rubbing them threw my tight dress that stuck to my curves and to my whole body. I pulled away breathless.
"Jake I can't do this..." I said, looking down at my feet. I feel his hand grab hold of my chin and make me look up at him.
"Clare Just shut up would you!" He whispered dangerously, smashing his lips back onto my own. I try to pull back but I wasn't able to I was just pulled back to his face by his hand.
Eli's Point Of View
I left a scared looking Jake back with Saint Clare, and went back to Julia.
"Babe does you like that girl" Julia asked me curiously, with her arms crossed over her chest. She looked pissed off, but she can just suck it. I was doing something.
"No, I don't. I hate her as a matter of fact, and I pinned Jake up because he was pissing me off by making fun of you." I lied, hoping that she'll buy it for now. Cause I really don't have anything else to say.
"Oh okay baby, it's fine." She flirted, wrapping her arms around my neck and leaning down to kiss me…but got my cheek. I don't feel like kissing her right now, I'm really not in the mood. I'm pissed off!
"Hey…what's wrong Elijah?"
"I'm just…tired, okay? Can we go home now? I have to wake up early tomorrow for practice." I answered with my famous smirk; she nodded and grabbed my hand, pulling me out to Morty. As we walked by, I heard screaming, and pleading to stop.
I pinned my eye brows together in confusion, the voice sounded familiar. The voice sounded sweet and innocent, wait…Clare!
"Jewels, why don't you go to the car. I have to deal with something." I shot through clenched teeth.
"Alright honey, don't be long okay?"
"Sure, sure…"
She gave me a hug before heading off towards Morty, once she was completely out of sight, I followed the voice of Clare, which leaded to the back of the restaurant; in the storage closet. I ripped the door open with all my might, and saw Clare pinned to the ground with Jake hovering over her. She had tears in her eyes, and was pleading him to stop.
How could no one hear Clare? I'm guessing the people out in the restaurant must be deaf, because Clare's screaming pretty damn loud. Anyways, I couldn't be any more pissed off. I grabbed Jake by the back of his shirt and pulled him up and pinned him against the wall next to us.
"Get the fuck off of her!" I whispered in his ear, it sounded more like a growl then anything. This time, Clare didn't stop me she just sat there looking terrified.
"Eli bro, why are you doing this?" He cooled, with the same damn smirk on his face. Yeah, piss me off even more now why don't you?
"I don't know okay! Just Saint Clare is a virgin, and I think she should have it with someone special." I groaned, looking deep into his brown eyes, I pictured my eyes almost being black. Jake chuckled and shook his head with disbelief.
"Since when have you cared, I mean, you hated Clare since High School started."
Why do I care so much? I don't know. But what I do know is that I'm going to beat this kid's face up if he doesn't leave right now, and NEVER talk to Clare ever again!
"I don't freaking know! Okay? Just let it go, and leave, right now." I demanded, pointing to the door that was almost ripped off its hinges, Looking at him with the most hatred face ever.
"Well Eli that I can't. Clare has no ride home if I leave. I'm her date remember?" He chuckled again, while a whimper was heard from Clare while watching the scene.
"I'll drive her, just go! And never, and I mean, never, ever, talk to Clare again! Got that?" I warned, not wanting him to try and rape Clare again. She doesn't deserve it, I may hate her, but I don't want her getting raped.
So I guess you can say I kinda have a heart for Saint Clare…
"Oh Elijah, so stubborn; you can't tell me what to do. You're not my mother or anything; I will talk to Clare again. I am her good friend, right Clare?" He asked her, turning his head towards Clare who was looking even more terrified then last time.
"Uh…" She muttered, looking at the ground.
"Right Clare?" He yelled out, walking over to Clare and lifting her chin to look into his eyes, which hers were filled with fear.
"Right Clare darling? I'm your good friend right, I stuck up for you to Eli. He's just a jerk to you, and I will never let him hurt you okay?" He cooed, leaning in to kiss her again but got her cheek like I did to Julia.
"N-No Jake…I-if anything, Adam is a better friend then y-you." She stuttered, looking at the ground once again and biting her lip. Obviously going to bust it sooner or later;
"Well Clare love, I'll be nicer to you then. How would you like that?"
"No!" She screamed, getting up from the brown covered floor and trying to get away, only to get pulling back by the waist, and into Jake's arms.
He whispered in her ear, and she cried even harder. But then, all hell broke loose. I walked away from the wall and punched Jake right in the jaw, sending him down to the floor with a thud!
I tackled him to the ground and started punching him like no other. Jake's groans and moans in pain didn't send me over the edge, just made me punch him harder. Knowing that I'm hurting him;
Clare's Point of View
I gasped at the scene I was seeking, Eli actually stuck up to me and was punching Jake to the ground looking really mad like he was going to kill someone! What do I do? Do I just stand here and watch him? Jake just tried to force me into something, I don't want yet, so I'm not going to help him.
After a few minutes later, Jake got up from the ground with a black eye and busted up lip. Eli smirked in satisfaction and Jake ran out the door in a flash. My breathing became heavy as I watched Eli panting and staring at me with his famous flash smirk.
"E-Eli, what did you do? Why did you do t-that?" I murmured, looking at him with all the concern that I must muster.
"I don't know, but that doesn't mean we're friends!"
"Yeah…I know." I said, sighing with disappointment. I couldn't help but actually want to be his friend. Eli may be a selfish dick, but what I just saw was a different side of Eli. I couldn't help but like it…
He didn't say anything, just muttered a quiet goodbye and started to walk out the door. But I didn't make it, Eli's hand grabbed my wrist and pulled me back towards him. Turning me around to look at him, I looked into his beautiful hazel green eyes shockingly, my mouth opening to ask why he did that, but was cut off by Eli's lips crashing to mine.
My eyes widened when I felt his soft sweet lips press against mine. I tried pulling back, but he held me. Well I know for a fact that I'm not going to win this fight with him, so I kissed him back. Wrapping my arms around his neck, pulling him closer, while his tongue licked my bottom lip, begging me for entrance;
I shyly opened my mouth to him, as his strong arms wrapped around my waist tightly and his tongue attacked mine. It was weird, but I liked it…His tongue was exploring every part of my mouth that he could get. I closed my eyes, and decided to just enjoy this moment.
I couldn't help but notice that Eli's touch is nothing like Jake's, Jake's was hard and rough, while Eli's is soft and gentle. Which confused me like no other, the Elijah Goldsworthy was being nice to me. This is a shocker, since he's never been this way to me before.
He pressed his lips harder to mine, making the kiss more passionate. I titled my head, getting better access to his lips, while he did the same, pulling me closer with his arms. It was a peaceful moment, making out with Eli…
Until I remembered something, Eli has a girlfriend. That black haired chick that was sitting and kissing him in the restaurant. My eyes fluttered open to see Eli's eyes shut; I pulled away quickly and slapped him across the face.
"You have a girlfriend!" I yelled out, remembering the girl that was here. And I don't want to be the one who he cheats with, I could never do that to another girl.
Eli rubbed his cheek and suddenly got an awestruck face, his eyes were filled with lust? I bit my lip out of nervousness and started to think bad things. Like what if the girl hits me? Or beats me up for kissing Eli? Oh dear, now I'm screwed…
Eli didn't say anything and looked at the ground with disappointment, like he actually wanted to keep kissing me? Wow, this is all new to me.
"Y-You should go, go back to your girlfriend. She would probably be worried right now." I mumbled sadly, if anything, I would want to résumé kissing him as well. He's a good kisser…
"R-Right." He stuttered, moving towards the door with a sad sigh. Before he walked out, he turned back towards me and smiled softly.
"I'll see you at school, okay?"
"S-Sure…"
He nodded his head at me and that sexy smirk of his came back on his face, walking out he slammed the door shut. I sighed and leaned against the door, not believing what just happened.
I kissed Elijah Goldsworthy, THE Elijah Goldsworthy!
Next day
I woke up to being in my bed, I had one of the best dreams ever. Eli and I were making out on a wall, and he was touching me. It felt so good…
Groaning, I walked to my bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. I looked tired, and love struck, which I really shouldn't. Grabbing my baby blue hair brush, I started to comb my messy curly hair.
I wonder what school is going to be like today? Hopefully Eli will consider us friends now.
Oh who am I kidding? Eli will NEVER want to be my friend, I'm a loser, a geek. He's in a popular band, while I'm just a nerdy girl. Who's really good with her grades and such.
When I was done in the bathroom, I walked out and got dressed. I dressed in my Degrassi uniform and walked down the stairs to see my mom drinking some coffee at the table.
"Hey mom" I smiled, grabbing some juice from the fridge and poured myself a glass.
"Good morning honey how was your date last night?"
"It was pretty good." I lied; I didn't want to tell my mom how Jake ruined it by trying to force me into sex, that would just get her worried.
"That's good sweetie, well come on. We should get you to school." She replied, getting up from the table and walking to the hanger that held her jacket in the closet.
"Okay…"
At school
I walked through the halls of Degrassi, holding my binders close to me as I walked. People were giggling and chucking at each other, ah, typical school. I saw Jake out of the corner of my eye, he was at my locker with a single rose in his hand. Great…
I really didn't want to put up with him right now, so I turned the other way and headed off to Mrs. Dawes's class. I bumped into Eli along the way, he looked down at me with that stupid smirk of his.
"Watch is freak." He warned, the smirk still planted on his face.
"Y-Yes, sorry Eli…" I muttered sadly, knowing that things between us aren't going to be fixed anytime soon. I walked passed him and heard him sigh, and ran over to me, looking around to make sure no one is looking and didn't think twice before pulling me into the closest Janitor's closet beside us.
I gasped once he did, and he closed the door behind him quickly. I dropped the binders and books I was holding, hearing the fall to the cold ground with a thud.
"E-Eli?" I asked, wanting to know the heck he just did that. He only smiled at me, and caressed my cheek with the palm of his hand.
"Eli…your…your girlfriend." I stuttered, why is he doing this to me when him and I both know he has a girlfriend.
"She and I broke up; I caught her kissing Jake when I left." He replied, cupping his hands over my face. My eyes widened from his words, why would Jake want to make it up to me when he kissed Julia last night? Player much?
"Were they doing anything else? Because I remember us kissing last night too…" I questioned, he nodded his head and traced the outline of my lip with his fingers, and he wouldn't keep his eyes off my lips!
"Yes, he had her body pinned up against the wall, and he was touching her." He murmured sadly, looking from my lips and into my eyes. I gasped at what he told me, how could Jake do that? I would never think he would though. I may admit I kissed Eli, but we weren't touching each other or anything like that. So it wasn't as worse as what they did, right?
"Oh Eli, I'm so sorry…"
He shook his head and smiled at me, making me smile back and look into his eyes. He caressed my other cheek with his hand and grinned.
"It's fine, no problem, it wasn't your fault anyways. Jake just does things to piss me off, now Julia is trying to win me back. Pfft, yeah right…." He chuckled, making me giggle.
"So…what now?"
"I don't know, if we get together, we can't let people know. It would just cause too much Drama between us, and I don't want that." He frowned. I nodded and wrapped my arms around his neck sweetly.
"So…sneaking around then?"
He smiled, "Yeah."
I giggled as he pressed his lips to mine, it was way different then last nights. He kissed me deeply but nicely, which I don't mind at all. His eyes were already closed as were mine, we had our arms wrapped tightly around each other, my fingers in his hair tugging on the roots.
But we stopped when we heard the door being opened, in came Jake with a shocked facial expression.
I removed myself from Eli and turned towards Jake, my eyes looking just as shocked as he did. Eli on the other hand, looked nervous and was now biting his lip.
"Hey Jake…" I mumbled.
