Hey ! The next chapters will be a lot longer ! I just wanted to get the first little bit out. They will be getting back together in this story and i will try to update every other day. I kinda want to get into her insomnia story line a bit and also the Eli and Ali confrontation but it was also just be mainly Eclare fluff :)

Disclaimer: I do not own Degrassi.

Clare spent most of her break doing nothing. She had hung around with Adam a few times but it mostly consisted of reading and thinking, a lot of thinking. She was rather confused about the whole situation concerning Eli but wouldn't doubt the fact that he was probably ten times more confused than she was.

Adam had invited Clare to a party that him and Drew we're having together. At first she was a bit hesitant at going, knowing that would mean there would be tons of Drew's friends there... And alcohol. Once Adam told her that he was pretty sure Eli was coming, she knew she had to go.

Her mind was consumed of thoughts about what happened and she needed answers. She knew she also needed to give some to him as well, he definitely deserved that. Clare knew how he felt and she knew she still had feelings towards him but she knew it would take time to convince him of that.

She knew it must have seemed by dating Jake that she was over him and by telling him "they were never getting back together." He was in a whole different state back then though... But she didn't want it to seem like she only wanted him when he was better. She knew now that if Eli were to go through some rough patches again, this time she would want to be there. She didn't want to ever feel like he had abandoned him again.

These feelings that were consuming her kept her wanting him and definitely wanting his lips on hers.
The feelings she felt after that kiss only reminded her severely of the butterflies she would receive after kissing him back when they were dating.

"Clare, honey!", Helen called, "Aren't you going to get ready for Adam's party?"

"Yeah mom!" Clare yelled back down the stairs, confused that her mom was reminding her when it took a lot of convincing to let her go in the first place.

She set her book down on her night table and began to get ready for the night ahead of her. She looked through all of her clothes deciding that nothing was good enough to wear tonight...Eli was going to see her. She began getting frustrated before she finally found her black high-wasted skirt. She found a perfect purplish blue top to go with it as well. She knew it was belong freezing outside and chose out a black blazer to match. Once she had finished doing her make-up and fixing her curls, she walked downstairs.

"Hey Jake, you're going to Drew's party tonight right?" Clare asked questioningly.

"Uh yeah... Are you planning on going?" he asked looking at her attire.

"Yeah, do you think you could give me a ride?" she asked hoping he would say yes.

"Sure."

The drive over was pretty quiet, not that she minded. He needed time to gather her thoughts and prepare for the night ahead anyways. They pulled up outside of their house ad immediately her nerves became shot. She felt her hands begin to shake slightly and took a huge breath in and told herself "it's just Eli, nothing can go wrong."

She entered the party and immediately started scanning the room for him. Her eyes did catch someone though and he decided she better go say hi.

"Hey! Adam!" she called over the blasting music.

"Oh hey Clare! Glad you could make it" he said giving her a hug.

Once they pulled away their eyes met and Adam knew just why she looked that way. Nervous.

"He's outside" Adam said nonchalantly knowing she'd catch on.

"Oh" was all he replied.

" Clare" he began," I know what happened between you two. The boy tells me practically everything. I just want you to know that he is doing a lot better now and that if you really don't have plans in sticking around... Please tell him that now."

"Don't worry Adam. I promise I won't hurt him like that again." she said quietly "I really think things could be different this one for us, you know?"

"Don't worry what I think Clare! I'm happy for you and Eli trust me. I just wanted to make sure you felt the same way it seems he has been feeling lately before I shoved you out there to talk to him"

"what?" Clare shouted but it was too late. He had already opened the Sliding door and pushed her outside closing it and locking it behind her.

Adam mouthed her a quick "You're welcome" before walking away and disappearing into the crowd.

Clare turned around only to see Eli slowly glance up at her with a questioning look on his face.

"Hey, Eli" she spoke quietly.

"Hey" Eli replied staring at her before flashing her the tiniest of smirks.

Reviews would be lovely ! :)- Savannah
