Author's note: Okay a couple things. First off, I hate Clare and Eclare so if you're looking for a fanfic that is about Eclare and that doesnt demonize Clare than I wouldn't read this. This fanfic will not be nice to Clare. This is taking place some time around Love Game. Eli isn't taking his meds and Imogen is nothing like her character. I also changed and made it so Imogen has grey eyes for a certain reason but yes. People on tumblr said i should post this so here it goes. I hope you enjoy :)

Prolouge: I never really thought it would come down to this. Watching you be pulled away from me and there is nothing either of us can do about it. If I had it my way, you'd be tucked away in my arms for the rest of our lives. But fate says we can't have that and now you're gone. I don't know what I'm gonna miss the most. Your smile, your eyes, your laugh, the feel of your skin, the way you say my name in your sleep. I'm happy for you - I am - but the selfish part of me hates that you're gone. Just know that I love you, okay? That's all that matters. We'll get through the rest.


"Keep it together, Eli. Calm down," I muttered to myself but it was hard to do. Three lockers away, Clare was kissing her new boyfriend, Jake. I could hear the little sounds she was making, I could hear what they were talking about. It made me sick. I understood why she left me, but was it nesacarry to flaunt a new boyfriend in front of my face?

I looked down and saw that my hands were shaking. I ignored it and just continued putting books in my locker. Once it became difficult, I clenched my hands into fists and closed my eyes, taking deep breaths, trying to block out what I was hearing a few lockers away.

Someone bumped into me from behind. I turned around, prepared to snap on whoever they were, but when I caught her eyes I stopped.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm sorry," she apologized and smiled weakly at me.

She had sparkling grey eyes. They looked like a liquid pool of silver as cheesy as it sounds. I felt like I could swim in them. Prying away from her eyes, I looked at the rest of her and noticed she was very skinny and had long black hair that fell just past her shoulders, but her bangs were sprawled in a mess over her eyes. Beneath her shy smile, I noticed her one of her bottom teeth overlapped the other and it only made her look cuter.

At first glance, I thought she looked like Julia. But once I really looked, I noticed that she had a unique face all her own.

Her pretty smile fade and she looked at me confused. "Er...Hello?"

"Uh, sorry. I mean, y-yeah, don't worry about it," I stuttered over my words.

I turned back to my locker and tried to get her face out of my mind. I noticed that my hands had stopped shaking, so I put the rest of my book sin my locker.

"So...tonight...my mom is going out and I wanted you to spend the night with me,"

I closed my eyes and tried in vain to ignore Clare's words. Jake responded with a yes and they laughed.

Anger boiled in me and I slammed my locker closed. Louder than nesacarry.

I heard a laugh next to me and I turned to see the girl from before at her locker, a couple down from me in the opposite direction of Clare. "Calm down, Hulk," she smiled.

I shook away my thoughts of Clare and looked down. My hands were shaking again. When I looked up again the girl was closer to me and she hesitantly put her hand on my shoulder. When I didn't push her away she quietly pulled me over to sit on a bench. "Clam down, everything's okay,"

I laughed. "Yeah, not really,"

"What's wrong?"

"That's my ex," I pointed to Clare. She looked up to see Jake pressing Clare against the lockers, mouths glued together.

"Wow. What a bitch,"

I looked up at her in shock. I wasn't expecting that.

"What?" she asked. "If she's gonna flaunt her boyfriend in your face - literally - then that is pretty bitchy in my book," she shrugged.

The bell rang and I scoffed. "Great, I have next period with them both,"

"No you don't," she smiled at me and held her hand out, standing up.

I looked at her confused. "What?"

"I'm Imogen Moreno and we are skipping class. Let's go,"

I laughed. "I'm Eli...and I don't want to get you in trouble,"

She smirked at me. "Well you're lucky I hate Biology,"

I smirked back at her and took her hand, following her out the side door.

As I was leaving I caught Clare's eye and something in them looked hurt. Before I could decide if I was right or wrong, Jake had pulled her away.

Author's note: so yeahh. once again I hate clare so this fanfic basically makes her a bitch. xD
