AN: So i was lying in bed at 4 in the morning, and i have no idea WHY, but i started singing Boston (Augustana) in my head, and somehow came up with this. It's my first ever story, and is rather short, but i hope ya'll don't hate it TOO much :)

Disclaimer: blah blah blah, i don't own the clique, blah. If i DID, i'm not sure what i would be doing spending all of my time on fanfiction.. :P


In the light of the sun, is there anyone? Oh it has begun...
Oh dear you look so lost, eyes are red and tears are shed,
This world you must've crossed... you said...

"I can't stay", 17 year old Claire Lyons said to Derrick Harrington, her best friend of 12 years. They stood at the edge of the pier on the last day of summer before their senior year, watching the sun set slowly in the distance.

"I have to go"

She said I think I'll go to Boston...
I think I'll start a new life,
I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name,
I'll get out of California, I'm tired of the weather,

"There's nothing left for me here", she thought to herself. After her parents died in the crash, Todd refusing to talk to anybody, and finding out that her so- called "friends" were nothing but two faced bitches, what could she possibly stay for?

Essential yet appealed, carry all your thoughts across
An open field,
When flowers gaze at you... they're not the only ones who cry
When they see you

"What are you talking about?! You can't just leave me here!", Derrick yelled, "And what about Todd? I'm the only person he talks to! I'm coming with you. Claire, I fucking love you. I always have loved y-"

"No. No Derrick, Not right now. Please, not right now. You know I couldn't possibly ask you to leave. You've got soccer, and your scholarship, and-"

"Screw all of that Claire. I don't NEED that. What would I possibly do without you? I'm coming. Now before you walk away and crush both of our hearts into tiny, irreplaceable pieces, I need to do something." And with that, he wrapped his arms around her slim body, and pressed his lips against hers.

I think I'll get a lover and fly em out to Spain...
I think I'll go to Boston,
I think that I'm just tired
I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind...
I think I need a sunrise, I'm tired of the sunset,
I hear it's nice in the Summer, some snow would be nice... oh yeah,

"Fine. You win.", Claire whispered breathlessly in obvious defeat. She hugged him closer, as if afraid that he would disappear.

"But I'm driving."

Where no one knows my name...


AN: So, you tell me, was it ok, or should i just go back into hiding and reading other people's Clairington stories? Don't worry. I can handle it. :P
