Looking at some stories I thought this would be a good idea for a fanfic. I'm looking for a number of reviews and if I don't get there by a certain time, I won't continue with this story so if you want me to keep writing, you know what to do! P.S. I'm going to keep writing my other story so check that out if you want to!

"What were you thinking?" she said to me.

"I wasn't."

Those all knowing eyes condescending on me, her frown, the anger pointed directly at me, she couldn't see and I couldn't tell her.

If I let her know, she would call me a liar, but if she found out, she couldn't deny it. And she probably wouldn't understand.

Every other girl never compared with her. They didn't mean anything. She never realized. I can't play her games and she doesn't know that I'm even playing.

"Eli, I can't be with you if you can't be with just me. I owe it to myself to be with someone who treats me right. I'm sorry," she was on the edge of tears and I was pretending to be hard as a rock, but inside I was screaming at myself.

There she was waiting for me to say something to try and redeem myself even though she knew that there was no way I would be able to talk myself out of it. There I was with nothing to say because all that would come out would be the truth.

So I looked down at the floor hoping she would just leave. It made me sick to see her run away from me with tears streaming down her face, but there was no other way. Just a few days ago we had been laughing and talking and flirting, and I had to go and ruin it.

"Clare!" I called after her though I knew it was hopeless.

The final bell for class rang. No one was in the hall. It was so quiet I could hear a pin drop. I sank down until I was leaning against my locker. "Aw, Eli's going to cry. Better watch your eyes, don't want your eye liner to run," was probably the least thing I wanted to hear.

I was so angry at myself and so hurt about Clare that I just ignored him.

"What? To choked up for a comeback?" he laughed.

"Can you just leave me alone for once? Or are you to worried that as soon as you do people will think you've gone soft?" it was lame but I wasn't thinking to hard about Fitz.

"Oh no, I just wanted to let you know that Clare told me to tell you to go to hell. And those come straight from the Christian freak's mouth. Actually she kind of screamed them to me," he said with that stupid smirk on his face.

My anger started bubbling inside my stomach. He was trying to edge me on and it was working. If I said anything right now, it wouldn't come out the way I would want it to.

"She just ran down the hall actually. I'm surprised you didn't hear that little cry baby yourself."

I was breathing so hard I think Fitz actually thought that my chest would explode. He was trying to bait me by making fun of Clare. How dare he call her those things! The only way it could get worse is if I would retaliate. Not a chance was I going to let him get to me.

"So what happened anyway? Did you cheat on her with some random girl and Clare was stupid enough to think that you two were exclusive?"

"Shut the hell up!" I said forcefully. A teacher down the hall opened their door but didn't see us so he closed it again. Apparently I was louder than I thought. "You don't know the first thing about her. You say one more thing about her, I swear you'll regret it."

"Okay," he said holding his hands up in defeat. "But I should probably warn you, when she comes over later tonight so che can hang out with a guy that doesn't drive a car they carry dead people in, we're just going to talk... in private."

"If you even think that you can lay a hand on her, I swear you'll-"

Before I finished, he was out the front door. I had to get to Clare before Fitz could. Even if she won't understand, I have to tell her.
