Eli's POV

"Ouch!" I said as Clare touched my busted lip again while we were walking through the park.

"Well maybe you should have taken my advice and just ignored Fitz!" She said in an annoyed tone. She was so cute when annoyed. If only she had the same feelings for me as I do for her. She was so beautiful with those gorgeous blue eyes.

Clare's POV

"Now what fun would that be!" HE said with his signature smirk. He looked so cute. I loved that smirk. Every day I grow more and more fond of that annoying smirk and him.

"Violence shouldn't be the answer to all your problems!"

"Claire this guy deserves to be taken down a notch. He can't just keep bullying people forever."

"So . . . how does this make you any better than Fitz himself, huh?"

He looked a little upset being compared to Fitz. "Clare . . . you just don't understand . . ."

"Your right Eli, I don't understand. I don't understand why violence is your answer to the whole Fitz problem!" She sighed. "If you have to do something, can't you at least try and devise a plan that won't involve physical violence?"

Eli's POV

She looked so hot while fighting me on this. "Fine, I won't use violence, okay!" Little did she know I didn't really mean it. Fitz was going down. I hated lying to Clare, but I couldn't let him continue harassing Adam and me.

She seemed content with my giving into her pleas, but she still seemed a bit skeptical. I sighed, "Claire, I promise I'll this war with Fitz! Okay?" I said it softly and gave her the best look of trust me I could give.

She sighed. "Fine . . . I believe you!" She looked behind me and turned white as a ghost.

I turned around as I heard "Hello, Freak! Hi, Clare!" Fitz waltzed up to us and looked at Clare and winked at her. Clare looked like she was going to be sick. I just smirked and said "Fitz, go away. Your stupidity could be contagious and I don't want to catch it!" Fitz glared at me and then glanced at Clare, got an odd expression on his face when he look at me and look at Clare once more.

Fitz's POV

God, that Clare Edwards was hot! What she was doing with this freak I would never understand. But I suddenly knew how to piss the freak off . . . I walked up to Clare, grabbed her so quickly no one knew what was happening till I was already kissing her. She tried to pull away but was unable to. I was stronger. I just smiled into the kiss.

Clare's POV

What the . . . GROSS! I couldn't push him away he was too strong and I couldn't breathe. I saw Eli in my peripheral vision and I'd never seen him look so angry.

Eli's POV

Fitz just went too far! Kissing Clare like that . . . I haven't even kissed her, let alone tell her how I feel about her. I saw her struggling and glancing at me the best she could and he was too strong for her to get away. I did what I believed was necessary: I tackled Fitz and started pounding into him. He was able to turn the cards around though and punch me and kicked me in the stomach. I heard Clare shouting for us to stop and heard a gasp . . .

Clare's POV

This was insane. I was angry at Fitz for kissing me and now there was this stupid fight. If Eli ended up hurt because of me I wouldn't be able to forgive myself. When I saw Fitz stand up and kick Eli in the stomach something snapped: my emotions were flooding out. My parents' fighting, pent up feelings for Eli, this war with Fitz and Eli- it was just beginning to make me go insane. I stood up yelled stop and tackled Fitz and then he punched my right in the mouth. I gasped and tasted blood. Fitz saw what he did, stood up,muttered a sorry and just walked away. I crawled to Eli to see if he was okay.

Eli's POV

I looked into her eyes and saw fear and worry in them . . . and I think a lot of anger, like pure anger. "I'm fine, I swear!" I looked at her busted lip and got angry. "I can't believe he hit you. Are you okay?"

She touched her lip and I just saw pure anger and hatred in her eyes when she saw the blood left on her hand. "Yeah, I'll be fine. But what about you! She touched my eyebrow and more blood showed up on her fingers.

"I'll be fine. Just a few cuts and bruises. I've had worse." It was true but the look on her face was so upsetting.

"I'm sorry, Eli, this is all my fault. I just . . . I have to go. I'll text you later."

I just sat there dazed. The park seemed so lonely after she left.

Clare's POV

I am so pissed. That asshole busted open my lip. I was sick of getting pushed around. At home both my mom and dad were yelling at each other or yelling at me. I was done. I had said I wanted the Fitz war over, but there was a new war on the horizon: not the one between Fitz and Eli. No, this one was between Fitz . . . and me! I already knew where to start. It would be hard to do it with Eli though. I cared so much for him and I knew he cared somewhat for me, even just as a friend. He'd never let me do this. I didn't want to be stopped though and I definitely didn't want Eli hurt anymore because of me than he already as bee hurt. I wanted to take my frustrations out on someone. That someone just so happens to be Fitzy boy. Kissing me, hurting Eli and Adam, punching me . . . he's a menace who needs to be stopped. This wasn't like the Clare everyone knows. No, there was a new Clare in the making here. A vengeful Clare.
