Chapter 8 – Drinking Always Leads to Trouble
Clare's Point of View – Math Class
Walking into my Math class I see Fiona and Alli sitting at a desk gossiping about something like they always do. I take a seat in front of them and place my things down.
"Clare Bear!" Shouted Alli, as she jumped at me giving me a big hug. I laughed and hugged her back.
"Hey" I said smiling at Fiona, She smiled back at me and we started talking as we waited for Couch Armstrong to come into the class room. Looking over to the teachers desk I see him take his seat at his desk and started yelling at the kids that hadn't sat down, No one was sitting beside me and one person in particular sat beside me; My ex. K.C Guthrie. Groaning, I look behind me again mouthing the words 'Kill me' to Alli and Fiona. I heard them giggle when I turned around and looked up at the front listening to Couch Armstrong grumble about stuff. I take my binder out of my backpack and place it on the desk. Opening it to the page we left off a couple of days ago. Couch Armstrong talked most of the class as I just stare off into space. What zoned me back into the world was the sound of a note falling onto my desk. I look at the note and pick it up opening the crumpled piece of paper. The paper read;
Long time no see.
The writing was messy. Looking over at K.C, He nodded and was staring at me. I write back onto the piece of crumpled paper;
Yah Ive been busy with stuff...
I wrote in my neat writing. Sliding the note back onto his desk I listen back to the teacher as he started talking about square roots. He was handing out work sheets as one plopped onto my desk as I grabbed it I scribbled my name onto it. Looking over the questions I start to answer some of them, as I did so the piece of paper fell back onto my desk and I read over the note;
Busy with?
Reading this, I wrote something;
My boyfriend
I slid said paper back to him and continue working on my work sheet. Seeing as K.C is quick at reading notes I got the note back within not even fifteen seconds with yet another question;
And may I ask who this guy is?
Hm Now he's wondering about my love life when he broke my heart? Ignorant bastard...I wrote back a quick answer to his question. How many more was this boy going to ask!
A emo jack ass, pretty sure you know who I'm talking about.
Giving back the note to him I stare off into space not really caring about the work sheet anymore. A couple of minutes later someone nudged me the note being in front of my face once again. Reading over the note that said;
You mean Eli! Elijah Goldsworthy!
Wow this guy was slow! Took him long enough to guess.
Took you long enough to figure that out Lol.
After a bunch of notes pasted and returned the bell rung signalling it was time to go to our next class, I rush out the door with my binder in hand. Well I guess I have to find Jake, I and Jake have to go find Wesley to get those fake ID's.
Jake's Point of View
We put our instruments away as the bell rang for our next class. I grab my stuff and left being the first one out I wouldn't have to be clobbered by the crowds of people leaving their classes. I see Clare coming toward me. Hm She's looking for me I guess? She rushed toward me and grabbed my hand.
"Come on we got to find Wesley and see if he can make those ID's" She said quietly enough for me to hear her. I let her drag me to the science class where Wesley usually always was. She turned a sharp corner and ran right into Wesley that she fell back and hit my chest, I caught her in time so before she hit the hard floor. She turned her head and mouthed a 'thank you'. I smiled as if to say no problem. She looked back over to where Wesley stood still in shock of being bumped into. Clare started to talk and then he zoned back into the real world.
"Wesley I have a huge and I mean huge favour to ask you" Clare said quietly aloud pretty much only me and Wesley to hear. Wesley looked at her questionably.
"Um go ahead and ask I guess" He murmured, unsure of what was going to be asked.
"I need you to make me and Jake fake ID's Cause we were going to go out to the bar and we don't have any ID's to get in...So I was wondering if you could do that...?" Clare spoke quietly looking up at him. His eyes widen.
"Why would you want to do that Clare?"
"I'm not having a good week and I just need to get out and let my mind free and not have to deal with the stuff I have to deal with right now..." She spoke with sadness in her cracking voice.
"Clare for you I'll do it But we have to get this done before anyone notices..." Wesley said looking around him and walking into the science lab where no one would be in for the time being. I follow after Clare and Wesley and I lock the door behind me so no one would be able to come in. Wesley always had all kinds of things with him such as a camera and what not. Wesley got the camera and made us sit on one of the stools at the side of the room beside the wall the wall making a perfect background. Clare went up first to get hers done and smiled sweetly at the camera and Wesley took the picture. Clare stood up and walked over to one side as I switch spots with her sitting on the stool she had sat on moments ago. I just gave a grin at the camera as Wesley took my own picture. I stood back up and looked over at Clare.
"So do you think you could finish them by tonight?" Clare questioned, as she walked over to the exit of the science lab.
"I'll try my best to get them done as soon as I can" He said, as me and Clare walked out of the science lab.
Later that day after school
"Clare!" I shouted out as I ran up to her, she was at her locker putting her books away.
"Did you get the ID's?" She asked me as she shut her locker and locked it.
"Sure did" I said with a smirk, handing hers to her. She smiled up at me.
"Thanks Jake" She said giving me a hug.
"No problem" I grinned as we walked out of the school together and to my car to drive to Clare's house so she can change.
At Clare's House – Clare's Point of View
I jump out of Jakes car and rush into my house, running up the steps and into my room looking for something to wear. I open my closet and look at my wardrobe; I take out a pair of black skinny jeans and a blue halter top to match. Also I just use my regular black AllStar Converse shoes. Thinking I'm all set to go, I walk down the stairs and grab my purse that had money in it. Walking out the door I shut it right after getting outside, jogging over to Jake's car and hoping in.
"Hey I got to go to my house and change to, so it will be a bit till we go there. Kay?" Jake spoke, backing out of the drive way. I just nodded and looked out the window. The ride was quite silent on the way to Jake's house. Once we got there Jake hoped out and went inside his house. He came out fifteen minutes later wearing a pair of loose baggy dark blue jeans and a black wife beater. He ran over to the car and opened the door getting in and closing it again.
"Well we are off to the bar, I'll go to the one I know of that is pretty good from a lot of people" He said, I just nodded. I didn't care where we were going all I needed to do is forget about Eli for a couple of hours and this is how I'm forgetting about him. I stared out the window watching things just fly by, I yawned and then my lids close causing my mind to go into the darkness.
With Eli After School With People Still In The Hall Ways– Normal Point of View
Eli was rushing down the hall when he caught a glimpse of Adam. He ran over to him quickly.
"Hey have you seen Clare? I really need to talk to her!" Eli was questioning and shouting. Adam looked at him confused.
"Why would you want to talk to Clare, Eli? That's odd I thought you guys hated each other?" Adam questioned him with a wondering look on his face.
"We don't hate each other if we're going out!" Eli Shouted, forgetting they were sneaking around.
"Your what!"
"Shit..." Eli murmured.
"You're going out with Clare! Since when?" Adam spoke, looking really confused.
"SHHH! We don't need the whole school knowing! Since yesterday that's when" Eli said rolling his eyes. Adam's eyes only got wider.
"Eli you better not have hurt that girl! She is overly emotional, If she found out that you kissed-" Adam was cut off by Eli putting a hand over his mouth.
"That's what I don't want her finding out so hush up" Eli said looking around making sure Clare wasn't nearby.
"Well I gotta find Clare, talk to you later Grasshopper" Eli said looking at him and then running down the halls once again in search of Clare.
With Wesley – Normal Point of View
Wesley was at his locker putting his things away when he looked down the hall to see Eli running down the hall like a mad man. Wesley looked at him weirdly as he came to a stop right beside him and he became afraid.
"Have you seen Clare?" Eli questioned looking down at the frightened Wesley.
"Uh Y-Yah The last time I seen her was just now coming to get fake ID's to go-" Wesley was cut off by Eli lifting him off the ground by his shirt.
"To go where" Eli glared down at the frightened boy.
"The Bar, S-She's gone with J-Jake" Wesley said holding onto Eli's arm. Eli let go of his shirt which causes him to end up on the hard flooring.
"I hope Clare can forgive me after this..." He muttered, standing back up and getting what he needed and walked down the long hall way.
Later that Day With Clare and Jake – 6:48 P.M
Clare was still sound asleep when Jake parked the car in the parking lot of the bar, He looked over at her and started nudging her to wake up.
"Clare...Wake up we're here" Jake spoke in a whisper, all that caused her to stir a bit from her place on the seat.
"Go away Jake...I'm tired" She said in a mumble, using her hands to swat him away. Jake sighed annoyed and looked down upon the sleeping Clare. Jake put his hands on her sides and began to tickle her. Clare burst into laughs as he tickled her to death.
"J-Jake quit I-It!" She said laughing. "Okay! I'm awake!" Clare shouted as Jake stop tickling her. Jake chuckled and opened his door and got out of the car. Clare followed suit and shut her door and followed after Jake that was already at the door to the bar.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Jake questioned as he glanced beside him at Clare. Clare just nodded.
"I came this far... No turning back now" Clare spoke catching his glance at her. Jake opened the door for Clare as she walked in, He followed right behind. The bouncer was by the door checking for ID's, Clare and Jake took out their ID's and Clare looked the other way thinking she would be caught. But to her surprise she wasn't and Jake had to nudge her to get her to move. Making their way over to the bar table that was where they handed out drinks. Sitting down the male bartender came up to them.
"What would you like Mrs" The Bartender questioned pen pressed to the pad of paper in his hand waiting for her answer. Clare blushed madly.
"A-Actually Miss, I'm not married!" Clare waved her hands in front of her face franticly. The Bartender and Jake laughed at her sudden outburst.
"Well Miss then, what would you like?" He eyed her, waiting for her answer. Clare looked down at the many drinks with different names and they all looked different but one of them caught her eye.
"Um.., Strawberry Daiquiri?" Clare looked up at the bartender as he jotted down what she had requested.
"And for you sir?" He said looking at Jake.
"I'll have a Bloody Mary" Jake said, knowing right of the back what he wanted. The bartender nodded and started on their drinks. Eli's gonna kill me after this...Clare thought as her drink was handed to her. Clare just looked at it unsurely. She looked over at Jake as he got his. Clare took the straw that was placed in her drink and put it up to her mouth. Slurping some of the drink, and swallowed it. Clare let go of the straw and began to cough. Jake was behind her within seconds patting her back.
"You okay?" Jake questioned as he looked down at her.
"Yah I'm fine...It's just really strong" She spoke, looking down at the drink as if it was her sworn enemy. Jake chuckled.
"You'll get used to it" He spoke drinking some of his drink.
"What do you mean like that? You mean you drank before?" Clare questioned.
"Of course I did, I was 16 when I had my first drink" He said taking another sip.
"Well your used to it I guess... But I don't know when I will be used to it..." Clare looking at her drink and bring the straw to her lips yet again taking a sip. She coughed again. This was going to be a long night...Thought Clare.
With Eli – 7:02 P.M
Eli was in his car driving to the most popular bar in town. They gotta be there; Jake probably would have picked it. Eli Thought as he drove down the road. His car came to a stop cause of the car in front of him he looked past all the cars and saw that there was a train going through and by the looks of it the train was really long.
"Oh great Just what I need..." Eli muttered, hitting the steering wheel with his fist.
Back With Clare and Jake – 7:13
Clare had so far gone through like 3 drinks. She was getting used to drinking alright she was pretty drunk by the look of it cause she was pulling on Jake's shirt asking him to dance. Jake wasn't drunk he was getting there but he wasn't so drunk he couldn't think straight, Clare on the other hand...Was a whole different story all together.
"Come on Jakeee" Clare wined, as she tugged at his black wife beater. "I wanna dance" She pouted; Jake looked down at her and couldn't say no.
"Fine Clare" He said looking down at her pouting lips. Her plump lips curled up into a smile.
"Yay!" She bounced up and down and grabbed Jake's hand and walked over to the private area around the bar. First it started as playful dancing as little kids would do, but then Clare got in the mood for not so playful. So she decided to take Jake's hands and place them on her hip, since saint Clare didn't know better she started grinding against him. It didn't last long though because Jake knew he shouldn't be doing that of all things with Eli's girlfriend. He took his hands away from her hips and backed away. Clare turned around and looked at him with a pouting face. Jake backed up and full back on the sofa that was there.
"Aww Jake You ruined my fun" She said with the pout still plastered on her face. She walked over to him and crawled onto his lap.
"Clare you don't know the mistake your making" Jake spoke in a whisper. Clare giggled at what he had said.
"Yes I do silly" She playfully hit him in the chest. She leaned up to him about to kiss him when;
"Clare?" Said a familiar voice Jake couldn't tell who it was until Clare moved to look over her shoulder to see who had said her name.
"E-Eli?"
