When Clare walked away from everything she once knew, she had to start over. She now is moving to New York and truly beginning her life over. However, will she be able to truly forget when her old life keeps spilling into her current one? What happens when old friends and new problems clash together into one big mess? Will she get through it? Or will she give up for good this time?

13. The Game Changer

I just posted two chapters... Warning. Make sure you read Chapter 12.

Eli's POV

"What the fuck, Adam?" I demanded, confused. My mind was racing.

"Eli. Calm down." Imogen pleaded.

"Did you know she was in town?" I continued, ignoring Imogen.

"Yes." Adam sighed, rubbing a hand over his face.

"When? When were you going to tell me?" I asked.

"Eli. Please. Calm down." Imogen pleaded again.

"Imo—" I exhaled frustrated. "Can you—Can you leave?"

"Eli." She sighed. "I know you don't mean that. You're just upset—"

"Yes." I snapped, cutting her off. "I mean it." I didn't even glance at her as she left. I just waited until I heard the door shut before turning my attention back to Adam. "When?"

"I told her I wouldn't." He sighed again.

"How could you keep something like this from me?" I asked, hurt. "You know how much she hurt me. Us. Why would you keep her a secret after everything?"

"She told me she would contact you. She told me she was going to call you. I couldn't force her to, but I wanted her to be the one to tell you everything. To explain to you. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you, but she said that she needed time to figure out what to say." He explained.

"How long? How long has she been here?" I asked.

"About a month." He sighed. "But we didn't know we were in the same city until this week."

"This is so fucking messed up." I groaned.

I grabbed my keys that I had set down on the table, before turning and walking out the door. This was the last thing I needed or expected when I got up today. I just needed to get away.
