The time spent at home during the spring break was total hell for Eli Goldsworthy. After crashing Morty during a heated argument with Clare, Eli spent a week in the hospital recovering from his injuries.
Clare only visited him the night of the accident, after that, nothing. Not a note, not a phone call, not even a message through Adam. Not a damn thing.
Eli was confined to his room during the last couple days of the break because his body was still healing. He couldn't do much besides think about how terrible Clare was making him feel.
He looked around his room; it was still partially cluttered with the remains of Julia's memory. He had been slowly removing items, but he still had half a room filled with "junk". He fondly remembered her during the late nights.
Sometimes, when he was feeling very low, he would think about the nights they stayed up together, in his bed. He would think about their discussions, the way she smelled after a shower and how secure he felt to be with her.
But then, the night she died. The night that he killed her. The night that changed him forever.
Meeting Clare was good for him. She is a stable person. Sure, she can be preachy at times and downright self-righteous, but she has a good heart.
But, for somebody who is very involved with being a good Christian, she has shown zero sympathy for him during this shitty time in his life. She was there for that asshole Fitz, but not him?
School resumed, but without Eli. He was feeling depressed and just didn't feel like being at Degrassi. His parents, laid back and overly caring, granted him to stay at home until he felt ready to go.
During the afternoon, when he knew his parents were busy running errands, Eli would sit up and bed and angrily punch into a pillow. He would imagine it being Clare. She has really let him down and he could not understand why. She said that she would always be there for him.
She fucking lied to him.
Why won't she acknowledge him? He knows she is thinking about him. She is the type to dwell.
"It's that bitch, Alli's fault. Ever since she came back to the school Clare changed." Eli angrily spat out.
Eli kept thinking about how he could make Alli pay for interfering with his and Clare's happiness. There is always a way.
