AN: Sorry it took so long! But here is the next chapter!
Adam
I was shocked at the look on Eli's face. He looked ready to kill but at the same time like he was scared to death. "Adam he has a way of getting on to people's good side then snapping once something happens he doesn't like. He's a part of my family, he has the same charasmtic vibe as me but I swear he's worse then I could ever be. If you don't be careful he might not target just Clare. He's after Clare because of me but you're getting close to him too you and Alli both. He could just as easily hurt the two of you too." He was shaking as he finished his sentence.
"And that damn party. Why the hell would they put him in a situation like that, where he could easily lose his temper." He growled.
"He could hurt Alli?" I asked, suddenly also very scared. I left him with the two girls.
"He could hurt anyone. I'm not telling you this to scare you just to warn you. Before things get too far. You have to help me keep him away from Clare. I'll kill him if he hurts her."
"Wait why are you just now saying all this. Why start carying now because she's indanger?"
"She's the most important person to me. Adam you've always known how I've felt, nothings changed."
"But Kay..."
"She's a distraction, nothing more." He stated drily looking unconfortable mentioning his current girlfriend.
"Well what am I suppose to do?"
"We need to come up with a plan."
Clare
"Did I just see what I think I saw?" I asked, looking over at Alli.
"What?" She asked giving me a confused look.
"Adam just got into Morty with Eli." I said looking over at Adian who raised an eyebrow at me.
"Aren't they friends?" He asked
"They were but Eli has been distant from him lately. I didn't think he hung out with anyone but..." I trailed off not wanting to think about him with her. Aiden gave me a small smile then put an arm around me.
"Well maybe they are trying to reconnect. You know like how you are trying too." He stated reasurringly. I smiled at him, yeah he was right that had to be it. I should be happy for Adam to have all his friends back. I nodded my head deciding if Adam was going to be friends with Eli again I would support him no matter how badly it hurt. Aiden leaned down and gave me a gentle kiss on the side of my head and I was shocked.
I looked up to see he was smiling down at me. "Are you done with your food?" He asked, looking at my abandoned plate. I nodded not being able to trust my voice, I was still dazed at the fact he kissed me. Alli raised an eyebrow at me and giggled. I blushed as I realized what she was giggling at.
"I am going to head out. I am starting to feel like the third wheel." She cheered giving me a wink before standing up. I gapped up at her as she skipped away from us. Aiden chuckled beside me and I blushed even deeper.
"You're friends are just a subtle as your mom." He whispered in my ear giving me a chill. I just bit my lip and blushed up at him. "Come on we should get you home." He stood up and pulled me with him walking over to the counter to pay for our meals. Peter also winked at me before we left.
"Wow you'd think I have never been with a guy before by the way they are acting." I declared covering my face in embarrassment.
"Does that mean we're together? As in offical?" He asked glancing down at me. My mouth fail open and I was at lose for words.
What was I suppose to say I barely knew the guy. But he was sweet and funny and very attractive. He knew more about me then I knew about him and that slightly scared me. "You don't have to answer immediatly but I would like an answer." He stated throwing his arm around my shoulder. I sighed in content as we walked towards his car.
Aiden
I smirked as I walked across the yard from Clare's house. I laughed at the fact her mom opened the door and gave us a knowing look before mentioning to Clare that she need to help her with something in the house. Parents same world wide. I thought with another laugh.
I entered the front door to our new house and was about to run up the stairs when I was called to the kitchen. I rolled my eyes and entered into the kitchen to find my mother and Aunt Cece sitting at the table. Cece wore a weak smile and my mother was ringing her hands in concern. "Hey sweety would you mind sitting down." mom asked nervously.
I squinted my eyes at them, but took a seat. "Hi Aiden how have you been?" Cece asked, she was looking between me and my mom, her sister as if she would rather be somewhere else. I raised an eye brow at them wondering what this was about.
"Um actually sweety we wanted to ask you about something. See Cece came over with concerns about the next door neighbor. Seems she is the same girl Eli was crazy about last year. I was wanting to know if you... I want to know about your relationship with her." She asked, growing more nervous.
"What?" I snapped standing up. I was outraged were they really asking me if I had the intention of hurting Clare? "I can't believe this. My own mother. We came here for a new start. I'm doing better, I'm taking my meds, I'm talking to the thearapist. She said I'm doing much better. I can't believe you'd think that of me. Clare is sweet, she's been nice to me. I'm not going to hurt her. Did Eli put you too this?" I growled.
My mother flinched from my outburst but Cece just stared at me sadly. "Aiden dear. Eli is only concerned. We're not saying you haven't improved. But Clare isn't just important to my baby boy she's important to us. She helped Eli so much and we don't want anything to happen to her. I'm not saying you will hurt her, we just have to be careful. You have to be careful." she stated, looking over at my mom who looked like she might pass out soon.
"You're kidding me right." I couldn't I really couldn't believe this that bastard went crying to his mother trying to get me away from Clare. I shook my head in disbelief that sneak thinks he can get away with this but he's wrong. But first to get rid of the parents. I smiled at my aunt and mother. "Clare is sweet I agree with you. Infact I see why she ment so much to Eli, but I have no intention of hurting her. She's like the sun and I think she might even be my new best friend. Please reasure Eli I mean no harm to her." With that I gave another smile and rushed up to my room. I gently closed the door and then turned enraged towards my room. I almost couldn't catch my breath with the anger that was corsing through my veins.
Okay, Okay. I need to relax I can't let him get to me. I need to think this through. Isn't that what Dr. Jean always says. Breath in Breath out. I did just that sitting on my bed and breathing in and out. I will figure this out. If Eli was going to try and keep me from Clare he was going to fail. He thought he was going to win again well he was wrong.
Alli
I sat patiently waiting for Adam to arrive at the park. He could have just came over now that my mother and father approved of him but he insisted it was important and couldn't be discussed at home with Sav and my parents around to over hear. I'm convinced it had to do with Eli and why he had called but that didn't matter. What mattered was seeing Adam again. It had only been a hour but I already missed him.
"Hey!" He called from across the grass. I smiled as I watched him run up to me. I jumped of the picnic table and jumped into his arms. He laughed as he spun me around before putting me back on my feet.
"I missed you." I whispered before placing my lips on his soft ones. HE smirked into my kiss and then pulled away.
"What did you miss, My charming good looks, awesome personality, or witty jokes?" He asked playfully. I giggled at him. He was deffinatly better then Drew. I thought hugging him.
"So what is this secret meeting about?" I asked wiggling my eyebrows at him teasingly.
He pulled away sporting a serious look. I raised a perfect eyebrow at him and he pulled me over to the bench before sitting down. "Um it's about Aiden." I sat silently waiting for him to explain. He sighed and looked up at me. "He has issues. That's why he's here. He... He put his last girlfriend in the hospital." He said and my jaw dropped open. Then it hit me that is what Eli had to say to Adam. I pulled back glaring, how dare he use Adam like that. Lie like that to the sweetest man I know.
"That's what Eli wanted?" I asked harshly. Adam looked down at his hands not saying anything. "And of course you believe him. Why wouldn't you Adam you're too nice. You can't let him get too you. Don't you see he's jealous. He sees Clare has a chance to be happy without him and he just has to ruin it. Adam face it he's not your friend anymore, he's messed." I snapped unable to contain my anger.
He shook his head and I was at a loss of words. He was disagreeing. "No, Alli I've seen Eli messed before. I know what he looks like when he has a plan and is determined to exicute it. No this was different Alli he was scared. I've never seen him look like that before. Not even when he was scared to tell Clare about Julia. Alli I believe him. Not because he deserves it but because he was telling the truth."
I stared at Adam like he was crazy. Of course Eli would look scared, he was a good actor. I shook my head. "Adam you can't really believe that. Eli does that. He's good at it by now. You've seen Aiden yourself he's a really great guy. Maybe that is why Aiden came here but let's face it he's nice and Clare really likes him. Clare deserves to be happy. Maybe Aiden got help, he might be doing better. We can't ruin Clare's happiness just because Eli says she's indanger."
"But what if Aiden hurts her? Eli said his girlfriend wasn't the only one he's hurt. Even his parents are afraid of him." Adam asked suddenly looking startled himself.
I had to admit the idea made even me shiver. But I couldn't think about that. Clare has repeatedly had people tell her, her boyfriends were bad news. We couldn't tell her that again before she even gets to claim him as a boyfriend. "Here's what we'll do. We'll just keep and eye on them. We won't allow them to have time alone until we are sure Eli is wrong."
"And if he isn't?" Adam asked looking lost.
"We can't think that. But if by chance the guy is wrong we will deal with it. She'll have us to take care of her. And we will make that lying bastard pay. So are you and Eli friends again?" I asked trying to change the question.
He smiled at me taking my hand. "Only if it's okay with you. I've missed him but let's face it he isn't worth losing you."
I gave him a smug smile and flipped my hair. "Oh we both know that is true." We laughed finally lifting the mood. He pulled me in for a hug and kissed the top of my head. Well for now everything was okay, but he was right we did have to watch out for Clare more then ever. I don't think I could survive another episode of Clare's depression.
