Ch.4 Don't Ask Where, Don't Ask When

(CLARE)

"Hey, Clare you want to have lunch together?" Fitz asks as we leave art class Monday afternoon.

"Sure," I smile, "just let me put some books in my locker." We start walking to my locker when suddenly Bianca storms over taking Fitz by the arm.

"I need you," she says and starts dragging him off.

"I'll see you later Clare," Fitz says with an apologetic look as he walks with Bianca.

"No, we weren't walking together and about to have lunch, just drag him away like he's at your beck and call Bianca," I remark snarkily as I watch them walk off.

After letting out an annoyed huff I walk to my locker. I stash my books and go to the caf, I see Drew eating with Alli. I could eat with them, but they're being all flirty and I see enough of my brother flirting with girls, I don't want to watch it while I eat. I find Eli and eat with him, but Adam never comes to lunch, and I never hear from him.

"I'm going to go look for Adam, he never came to lunch," I remark as I stand up.

"I'll check the boys washrooms," Eli comments.

We leave the caf and split up to look for Adam. I look at his locker, the media room, the gym, everywhere I can think of. I'm about to look for him outside when I see him sitting under the steps near the front door.

"There you are you never came to lunch. What's wrong?" I inquire sitting by my twin.

"I hit on Bianca, she found out and sent Fitz and Owen after me," Adam admits. His face is red from embarrassment and his eyes are glossed with tears.

"What? What did they do?" I ask, absolutely horrified and sick at the thought of my brother being hurt again.

"It doesn't matter," Adam tries to insist, but I see that he's cradling an arm and obviously hurt.

"Adam," I say in a censuring tone, but before I can say anything else Drew comes over.

"Bianca! You hit on Bianca, are you trying to get yourself killed Adam," Drew scolds. He puts a hand on Adam's shoulder and Adam winces. "What did they do to you?" Drew asks concerned and angry.

"It's fine okay," Adam asserts.

"It's not okay Adam you're hurt," I reply. I can feel the tears at my eyes remembering the last time someone found out about Adam.

"I'm going to teach them not to hurt my sibs," Drew says, clenching his fist and running to the front door.

"Drew, what are you doing? Andrew," Adam calls running after Drew.

"Andrew stop," I holler, running after the both of them.

Fitz and Owen are tossing a football back and forth at one end of the football field. Drew runs over at full speed and pushes at Fitz who's the closest. Fitz is caught off guard and tumbles to the ground just as Adam and I catch up.

"Stay away from my brother," Drew growls angrily.

"You don't have a brother," Fitz replies, getting up and brushing himself off.

"Just a sister and a freak," Owen adds motioning to me and Adam.

Drew growls again and swings at Fitz, he hits him but Fitz swings back harder and hits Drew in the eye. Adam runs out to help Drew fight, but Owen runs over and holds onto Adam, keeping him from doing anything. For a couple of moments, I watch Fitz and Drew swing at each other before I run over.

"STOP IT," I yell.

Fitz gets in one last swing at Drew, hitting him hard enough in the stomach to send my oldest brother to the ground. Owen pushes Adam away, Owen and Fitz walk off laughing while Adam and I kneel down by Drew.

"I'm okay," Drew insists but he's holding his stomach. Adam and I help him up and take him to the nurse for an ice pack.

"Mom's going to freak," Adam grumbles when we're in the nurse's office. When we see Simpson in the doorway we know that he knows.

"My office, your mom is on her way," Simpson tells us, and we all let out the same sigh.

"What happened to your eye Drew?" Simpson asks when we're all sitting in the office.

"Football in the face Sir," Drew replies. I'm sure he did because he'd be in trouble for fighting otherwise, with the school and our mom.

"Adam, I was told Owen Milligan and Mark Fitzgerald were harassing you?" Simpson says.

Adam sighs and begins to tell us about Owen and Fitz coming into the washroom, after Bianca sent them. He's just getting to being thrown into a door when Mom rushes in. After a few minutes of coddling Adam and kissing his face Drew gives up his seat so Mom can sit down.

"I thought my son would be safe at this school," Mom says, shooting daggers at Mr. Simpson.

"I assure you Mrs. Torres he is safe. Bianca, Owen, and Fitz will have in school suspension the rest of the week and have to attend counseling and classes on hate crimes and acceptance. Adam will have a teacher walk him to and from classes until he feels safe. He will also have his own washroom for safety," Simpson says, handing Adam a key to the handicap washroom.

"Great, like using the handicap washroom won't bring all kinds of unwanted attention my way. Everyone knows I'm not handicapped," Adam sighs, taking the key.

"I think the whole school needs classes on acceptance. For now, I'm taking my son to the doctor to see how badly he's been hurt, and then home to rest. I assume you know your job well enough to excuse Adam from afternoon classes?" Mom snaps.

"We'll see you tomorrow Adam, Miss Cosnell will walk you to class and be with you between classes. Drew, Clare you should get to 3rd period," Simpson comments.

"See you at home," Adam sighs.

He and Mom walk off, she's still fuming, and poor Adam is going to get an ear full on the way to the doctor. Drew and I exchange a look before we part ways to get to class. I go to my locker to get my books when a hand gingerly touches my shoulder.

"Clare," Fitz says. His voice is soft and remorseful, but I don't care. As soon as I hear it I rip away from him. Turning and slapping him across the face.

"Don't touch me! You beat up both my brothers in less than an hour and you think I'm going to talk to you! You're stupider than I thought," I spit at him angrily and storm off to class.

I wish I'd gone home with Mom and Adam; hearing Mom's rants has to be better than the looks and whispers as soon as I get into class. I get bombarded with questions, but I can't answer them. I just slump into my desk and wish that my twin was with me. Miss Cosnell snaps at everyone and tells them to pay attention. At least it stops during class. Of course as soon as we leave civics and start walking to science I'm surrounded, and questions are firing at me again.

"Is it true about Adam?"

"I heard Fitz and Owen beat him up so bad he went to the hospital."

"Did Fitz and Owen get expelled?"

"Is Adam really a girl?"

"Did he hit on Bianca? I heard she had Owen shoot Adam for hitting on her."

The questions and rumors fire off so fast it's hard to keep track. The last one stops me though and I look at my friends. I can't talk about it now, and I don't have time to tell them the whole thing.

"If someone was shot you'd have heard a gun. Mom took Adam home, and right now that's all the information you're getting," I respond. I push past them and walk into science class. After school Eli is waiting for me, I sigh certain that he has questions of his own.

"Can I take you home Clare? I'd like to see Adam," Eli says. Releasing a breath because that's all he wants I go over to him and kiss his cheek.

"Thanks," I smile.

He grins back and puts an arm around me, we walk to my locker and then to Morty. I text Drew so he knows that I have a ride home. When we get home Adam is in the basement, he looks okay, actually he looks rather bored just watching TV.

"Hey Adam," Eli smiles following me in, "you okay? There's a lot of rumors flowing around school."

"Bruised, but okay," Adam says.

"So, what exactly is the truth?" Eli questions.

"I'll go get us some snacks," I comment, setting down my backpack.

I already know all of this, so I leave Adam to tell his story and go upstairs. Mom is at the kitchen table ranting on the phone about the whole thing. I'm not sure who she's talking to, but she seems to be blaming Principal Simpson for most of it. Mom sees me gathering snacks, but she's so caught up in her ranting she doesn't even wave. I gather a tray of snacks and take them downstairs, setting them on the table just as Adam is telling Eli what happened today.

"Fuck, some people are so small minded. I warned you about Bianca though, that chick is crazy. Wait, does this mean I can't rip one around you?" Eli questions.

"Eli, I'd be insulted if you didn't," Adam grins.

"Oh gross," I roll my eyes as they high five.

The boys chuckle and we start eating and working on homework. I tell Adam what we covered in civics and science and the homework. I don't tell him about the questions and rumors, he already knows there will be rumors.

"Coach Armstrong was pissed; Owen is benched for two weeks and won't be at practice because he'll be in counseling with Fitz and Bianca. Anyone else on the team that is caught spreading hate and bigotry is automatically off the team," Drew tells us when he gets home. He looks exhausted and flops onto the sofa. "Hey Eli," he nods, hardly keeping his eyes open. Coach Armstrong must have worked the team especially hard.

Eli stays for dinner but leaves after dinner. Mom cleans while she is ranting to Dad about the whole thing, so the three of us go downstairs. Adam and I help Drew with his homework and we all go straight to bed, it's been a long day.

Tuesday morning Miss Cosnell is waiting for us at the front door. Well, she's waiting for Adam, but he and I have homeroom together. She walks us to our lockers and then to class, Eli is in class already and smiles when we come in. Miss Cosnell leaves since Miss Dawes is in the room. Adam was excused from the rest of his ballroom dancing unit in remedial gym because of the injury to his arm. He spends the time doing health assignments in the LGBTQ+ club office. It locks so he'll be safe.

We don't see Owen, Fitz or Bianca all day. We eat lunch with everyone, and Adam explains about being transgender. Then says he'll answer any questions. A lot of our friends don't fully understand but everyone seems to accept him. Wednesday and Thursday are the same, quiet, no sighting of Owen, Bianca or Fitz. I'm not sure where their in school suspension is taking place, but I'm glad I don't see them in the halls.

"Hey Clare," Eli grins when he sees us come into class Thursday morning.

"Hi Eli," I grin back. We've been spending a lot of time together this week.

"There's a great foreign film playing tonight, would you like to go with me? I'll have you home in time for dinner," Eli says.

"I'd love to," I smile.

Eli smirks and Adam rolls his eyes, but he has therapy after school. At lunch I tell Drew I'm working with Eli after school. I tell Mom the same thing when she comes to pick up Adam. Eli and I have a great time at the movie, and he brings me home, we spend some time making out in his car before I have to go inside.

I spend all evening thinking about Eli, with butterflies in my stomach. Excited to see him when we get to school Friday. Adam goes straight to class, escorted by Miss Cosnell of course. I wait in the hall near Eli's locker. When I see him coming in I smile, but he looks away.

"I had fun last night," I comment.

"Yeah, me too, excuse me I need the washroom before class," Eli comments, turning to go to the boys washroom.

I watch him walk away feeling hurt and bewildered. Last night was wonderful, I thought we really connected, and he really liked me. Today he's cold and distant, like last night was nothing. I sigh and walk to class, chewing on my lower lip as I wonder what's wrong.

"Where's Eli? I thought for sure you two would be walking into class all close and cuddly," Adam comments when I get to class.

"So did I, yesterday was so…perfect. Eli and I connect on every level. I thought he'd be just as happy to see me today, but today I'm less than dirt. He'd barely look at me," I sigh.

"Despite all your gushing last night, maybe you misread the signs?" Adam comments. I gushed all about the date to him and Drew last night while we did homework. They both just rolled their eyes.

"I didn't think Eli was the type to just kiss and drop me," I comment.

"Neither did I," Adam replies.

Eli doesn't come into class until just before the bell. He barely looks at me or Adam and doesn't say anything to either of us. I look at my brother and he just shrugs. We spend class listening to Miss Dawes read and discussing certain passages, Eli stays rather quiet. He also bolts out of class as soon as the bell rings. Adam has to wait for Miss Cosnell so I wait with him.

"You're playing video games at his house tomorrow; will you ask him what's going on Adam?" I plead with my brother.

"I hate being in the middle, Clare."

"Please, Adam," I beg my brother with my hands clasped together. He sighs and I know he's given in. "Thanks Adam," I smile, kissing his cheek.

"Yeah, yeah, get to class, you don't have to wait for a teacher."

(ADAM)

"How's Clare?" Eli asks.

I'd been at his house for a couple of hours playing video games. We'd taken a break to get a snack and were currently in the kitchen looking to see what there was. Clare had begged me yesterday to talk to Eli and find out what was going on. I had a feeling it was about Julia, but he hadn't told her about Julia yet.

"Upset and confused. You need to talk to her Eli, if you're not ready to date again after Julia that's fine, but you owe Clare an explanation," I tell him.

"I know," he sighs, "I didn't mean to hurt her. I'll talk to her Monday," Eli says.

I smile and grab a bag of chips. Eli gets some soda and crackers, and we return to the living room to play video games. I'm at Eli's most of the day and eat dinner with him and his parents. Drew is on a date with Alli and my parents were out so Clare had the house to herself. Sunday as usual is family time and chores.

Monday when we get to school Eli is waiting by his car. Clare sees him and looks away; she hops out of the car and marches straight inside. Drew walks in with me and Miss Cosnell is waiting. Owen, Fitz and Bianca are back in regular classes today. I don't have any classes with them, but Drew and Clare both do. Drew leaves us and Miss Cosnell walks me to class. Miss Dawes is in class so Miss Cosnell leaves me. Eli comes into class a few minutes later with his head hanging.

"You have to talk to her Eli," I tell him.

"I know, but she'll barely look at me Adam," Eli sighs.

"Then try harder," I encourage him.

Clare doesn't come into class until just before the bell and we're all working quietly on individual writing assignments. If Eli does plan on talking to her he doesn't do it after class as he leaves quickly. Miss Cosnell is here to take me to remedial gym. I find out Bianca has been taken from the class and has sensitivity training and volunteer work for the rest of the semester.

I meet Clare at lunch. We eat with Alli, Dave, Connor, Wes, and K.C., Jenna isn't at school today. No one is sure why, but we all assume she's sick. I don't see either Eli or Drew at lunch, so I'm not sure where either of them are. Thankfully, I don't see Owen, Fitz or Bianca at lunch either. It's not until after school that we see Eli.

"Clare please, I need to talk to you, Adam can come, just come with me please," Eli begs, catching us near the front door.

"Come on Clare, you owe him that much and I'll be with you," I push. If I don't, she could stubbornly refuse him for days, weeks even. I've seen it before.

"Fine, but Adam is coming with us," she replies.

"Come on, I need to take you somewhere," Eli says.

Clare looks reluctant but we go to Morty and get in. I make Clare sit in the middle and we ride with Eli out near his house. We stop a few blocks away and Eli pulls over to the side of the road.

"Where are we Eli?" Clare snaps angrily.

"This is where I killed my girlfriend," Eli says and Clare's mouth drops.

"Excuse me?" She questions looking at me and I see fear in her eyes.

"You better tell her the whole story, Eli," I tell him. He tells her pretty much what he told me, but I see Clare relaxing when she hears everything.

"You should have told me all of this before Eli. I would have understood that you weren't ready for another girlfriend," Clare says when he's finished.

"Honestly, I don't know what I'm ready for. I had a great time on our date, and I really like you, but it brought up a lot of stuff too," Eli says. Clare smiles and takes his hand.

"I think you just need time Eli, and I'm happy to be your friend until you know," Clare tells him, and he smiles.

"Guess I should take you home," Eli comments.

"Why don't we stop at The Dot for some food first," I suggest, and they nod.

Eli drives to The Dot, parking just down the street and we walk to the café. We're getting close when we hear arguing in the alley behind The Dot. I recognize Jenna's voice and stop to listen, though we probably shouldn't.

"The baby is yours K.C. you are the only boy I've ever had sex with, and I am pregnant," Jenna is saying, and we all exchange a look.

"It's not mine, it's not my problem and neither are you. You got yourself pregnant and you can take care of it yourself. I want nothing to do with you or the baby," K.C. growls. He then storms out of the alley, looks at us and keeps walking.

Jenna is leaning on the wall near the dumpster, her head in her hands and she's obviously crying. I walk down the alley, Clare and Eli follow me. Jenna doesn't seem to hear us coming as she sobs heavily. When I put my hand on her arm she jumps.

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you," I apologize.

"How much of that did you hear?" Jenna asks as she wipes her eyes.

"Just the last couple of minutes," I reply.

"That was more than enough," Jenna sighs.

"Are you really pregnant?" Clare questions pulling a tissue from her backpack and giving it to Jenna.

"Yeah, I took a home pregnancy test when I missed my last period, and I confirmed it today at the clinic. That's why I wasn't in school. I asked K.C. to meet me, I told him it was important, and he said he'd try to get out of practice. You heard him though, it's my problem and he wants nothing to do with me," Jenna sighs.

"He's angry and shocked right now, he could still come around," Clare comments.

"Yeah, I hope so," Jenna replies.

"We were just going to get some snacks at The Dot, nothing is more comforting than coffee, sweets, salt and fat," Eli remarks.

Jenna smiles and we walk to the front going inside the café. The girls sit down while Eli and I order. We spend about an hour at the café together, chatting and eating, but don't talk about Jenna being pregnant. Drew is out of practice and comes to The Dot. Clare and I decide to go home with Drew and Eli offers to get Jenna home.

"You guys didn't tell me you were going to The Dot with Eli," Drew comments as we begin driving home.

"Last minute plans," Clare says.

"How was practice?" I question.

"K.C. totally bailed on practice, but I got to hit Owen a few times with the football and once in a practice tackle. That felt good," Drew grins.

Clare and I don't tell him why K.C. bailed on practice. It's not our secret to tell, and this is high school, the secret will come out soon enough.

(DREW)

"Later," I call to my parents.

"Home by curfew," Mom reminds me.

"I know," I call back, rolling my eyes.

Tonight is a Halloween dance at Above the Dot and most of the school is going. It's not actually Halloween, but Halloween falls on a Tuesday this year, so the dance is the Saturday before. Eli, Adam and Clare were all going as friends. The three of them had been spending a lot of time together. I wasn't sure of the whole story, but I knew Eli needed time to figure things out and she was giving him that time. Meanwhile, the three seemed to be practically inseparable. A fact that was driving Fitz crazy.

Clare assured us she was staying away from Fitz in art and Miss Dawes was keeping them on opposite sides of the room. Any time he tried to talk to her she walked away and told him to stay away. I still wasn't sure how I felt about her with Eli, if he decided he did want to be with her. I did know I did not want her with Fitz.

I only saw Bianca in the one class we had together but other than that she pretty much avoided us all. Owen and I had put things aside being on the same team. It was kind of an unwritten agreement that we just didn't talk about him taping me to the flagpole or hassling my brother. I wouldn't call us friends; we didn't hang out together without the team around. The football team was important to us both and we could put our issues aside to work together and not cause friction on the team. To win we had to work together.

Everyone on the team had been doing great, everyone but K.C. that is. He wouldn't talk about it, but we all knew it was that Jenna was pregnant that was messing with his mind. He was avoiding her; she was crushed and had been spending a lot of time with my sibs and Eli. No one knew what Jenna was going to do about the pregnancy. I thought K.C. just needed a good slap upside the head to get him thinking straight.

I arrive at Alli's house and get out of the car. I was a pirate but left my hat in the car. No eye patch or hook and no long coat. Just boots, pants and a fluffy white shirt I had open to show most of my chest. Before I can get to the door Alli comes out of the house.

"Bye, be home by curfew," she calls and shoos me back into the car. I get in and she jumps in quickly. She's dressed like a Hogwart's student, robe and scarf of one of the houses. I never read the books, and I fell asleep during the first movie, but the scarf is blue. "You can't come to the door; my parents can't know about us remember?" Alli scolds as I buckle up. Then she looks me over and grins, "You look hot."

"Thanks, you look cute," I reply.

"This is not my costume, this is to fool my parents," Alli replies.

I smile wondering what her real costume is and continue driving to the club. Sav was DJing tonight or Alli would have gone with him. I didn't even think about it when she asked me to pick her up at home, but I usually don't. We had the whole talk about her parents not knowing about us when we first became exclusive. I park and we get out of the car, opening the back door and getting my hat. As I put the hat on I watch Alli take off the scarf and cloak, she's dressed as a sexy nurse in a skimpy little outfit, and I whistle.

"Damn you look hot," I grin, "but the black loafers look a little off."

"I had Sav bring my shoes, so I didn't have to lug a large bag around," she replies.

"Well then, lets go find your brother," I comment, taking her hand. I let her go up the stairs before me and admire the way the dress shows peeks at her ass as she climbs the stairs.

There's a small line on the stairs and I pay to get us in. I saw Eli's hearse, so I know my sibs are here. They never did tell me what their costumes were, and I left before they were dressed.

When we come in the first thing I see is Bianca, dressed like a harem girl. Her outfit must barely be legal. She's got a skirt with slits to her hips and sheer fabric aside from what looks like panties of the same color. Her skirt is low, just to her hips so she's barely covered. Her top is little more than a bra, it barely covers her breasts, it has silver jangly things hanging off the bottom. She's got a veil, a sheer one, but it adds to the sex appeal and wears silver strappy sandals.

Owen is with Bianca; he's dressed normally aside from the fact that his shirt says: This is my costume I have to smile, it's easy and clever. Fitz is with them, wearing an army uniform, looks real, kind of old. It even seems to say Fitzgerald on it. Must be his dad's old uniform or something. You'd think someone with a parent in the army would be more disciplined.

There are two boys standing with them, one wearing a black Lone Ranger type mask and normal clothes, with longish blonde hair. The other with dark hair, I've seen before, but don't know his name. He was here with them about a month ago when Alli and I became exclusive. The dark-haired one doesn't seem to be in costume, or he's dressed as a rocker, it's hard to tell.

"Ugh, Johnny is here," Alli says looking at the group.

"Your ex?"

"Yeah, let's go find our friends, Jenna said she was coming, and the twins are here, right?" Alli asks, taking my hand and pulling me away from Bianca and her friends.

"Yeah, I was just looking for them," I reply.

"I'm going to get my shoes from Sav," she comments. We walk to the DJ booth and Sav nods to us. Alli reaches behind him and grabs a bag pulling out a pair of strappy white high heels that must be five inches tall. Alli sits on the edge of the stage and gets her heels on, I help her stand up and now she's my height.

"You look incredibly hot," I grin. She smiles and we share a kiss before we start looking for our friends.

"There's Eli, he's a vampire, why am I not surprised?" Alli remarks, rolling her eyes.

"He should know where the twins are," I comment.

As we get closer to where Eli is we see some of the others. Jenna is dressed as a 50's poodle skirt girl. Dave, Wes and Connor are dressed as The Three Musketeers. Now I see Adam, dressed as a 50's greaser, actually he and Jenna look a little like Sandy and Danny from Grease. I see Clare now too; she's dressed as a 1920's flapper in a short blue dress with fringe and a feather headband in her hair.

"Hi," Alli grins, dragging me over.

"Geeze Alli, not leaving much to the imagination are you," Dave comments.

"Drew likes it," Alli smiles. We sit down and talk with the group until a slow song comes on and Eli stands up asking my sister to dance. Clare stands and I see just how short the dress is. I open my mouth to say something, but Adam smacks my arm and shakes his head. I close my mouth but grind my teeth together, then turn to Alli asking her to dance.

She smiles taking my hand and we follow Clare and Eli to the dance floor just in front of the DJ booth. I wrap my arms around Alli and dance close to her while keeping an eye on my sister and Eli. When the slow song ends we stay on the dance floor for a couple of fast songs. Adam and Jenna join us for the last fast song.

"I'm thirsty, I'm getting a drink," Clare remarks when the song ends.

"I could use a drink myself," Alli says.

"I'll go with Clare, we'll get a round of drinks," I comment. I put my hand on my sister's back and we walk to the bar. Which is also where Bianca and her friends are standing.

"Hey Clare, looking good," says the dark-haired boy.

"Hi Lucas," she says, smiling politely. Then she looks at the blonde, "hey Johnny."

Well now I know who Johnny is. I'm sizing him up and realize he's looking over my sister at the same time. I don't see what Alli saw in this guy, but she's mine now.

"Hi Clare, nice costume," Johnny says.

"Thanks, looks like the only one of you that even tried was Bianca," Clare responds and Bianca grins, "if she's trying to get into Playboy anyway."

I snort at my sister's snarky comment, Lucas, Johnny and even Fitz snort too. Bianca looks royally pissed, she huffs and narrows her eyes at my sister. Before Bianca can quip a comeback Peter comes over.

"Hey Clare, Drew, what can I get for you?" Peter asks.

I look back at our group, unsure of what people want. I get a pitcher of water, and a pitcher of soda. I pay and we wait for Peter to get the pitchers and some cups. It doesn't escape my attention that Fitz keeps glancing at Clare the whole time we're standing here. A slow song starts up while we're waiting, and Fitz looks at my sister.

"Would you like to dance Clare?" Fitz asks.

"No," she says, turning her back on him.

"Clare…" Fitz says in a pleading tone reaching for her, but I get between them.

"She said no," I hiss smacking his hand away before he can touch her.

"You want me to give you another black eye?" Fitz growls.

"Try it," I snarl back.

"STOP!" Clare barks, getting between us, a hand on each of our chests. "Fitz I'm not dancing with you, Drew no fighting."

"If you guys don't settle down, I'll kick you out," Peter warns as he sets the pitchers and cups on the bar.

I grab the soda and cups and Clare gets the water. We return to our group setting the pitchers and cups on the table. We talk and dance a little more, watching Sav DJ and spending time with our friends. After dancing and drinking two cups of water and three of soda I have to use the washroom. Just as I'm going in Fitz is coming out.

"Drew I just want to talk to Clare tell her…" Fitz is saying in a pleading tone, but I don't really care what he has to say. I grab Fitz by the shirt and shove him into the wall.

"Stay away from me, stay from Adam and stay the hell away from my sister," I snarl at him. I shove him into the wall again and then go into the washroom.

When I come out Fitz is back with his friends. Alli and I stay another hour before we leave and spend the last hour before her curfew making out in my car.

Hope you're enjoying this story. Update soon with some Clav friendship and possible trouble in paradise. Next to go up will be "God I've Had to Fight".
