So, I'm not going to say any names, but this happened to a friend of mine. She liked this guy, but he literally broke her heart when he started going out with her best friend. What happens in this story is NOTHING compared to what she did. She wouldn't even do some of the stuff, even if she had too!
1) Let's pretend that Clare, Imogen, and Eli are all in the same grade.
2) Clare's a majopr bitch in this story!
WARNING: TEARS AND MAJOR OOC WILL BE INVOLVED
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Degrassi.
*Flashback*
It was just an ordinary day at Degrassi. Clare and Imogen were walking down the halls talking about the latest gossip, until Clare suddenly stopped.
"Look, Imo. There's your crush!" Clare said while pointing. Imogen looked at what she was pointing at, and she saw Eli Goldsworthy walking towards them.
Eli Goldsworthy. The boy that she currently has a crush on. The guy she became friends with in the eigth grade. At the time, Eli had a girlfriend named Julia. Imogen didn't like him THAT much, but after Julia's sudden death in tenth grade, she's been by his side ever since. And every moment she spent with him, her feelings for him grew.
Tenth grade was also where Imogen met Clare. Imogen was looking at Eli during lunch, when all of a sudden, Clare went up to her and caught her staring at him. Imogen confessed everything, and they instantly clicked. They've been insperable for two years now.
Anyways, back to reality.
"Clare, I told you. Eli and I are JUST friends," Imogen lied.
"Right..." Clare said as she walked away. Imogen was about to follow her, but a voice called her.
"Hey, Imogen!" she heard that familiar, deep voice say.
She turned around and saw Eli standing there.
"Ummm h-hey, E-Eli..." she said nervously.
"Nervous, eh?" he asked teasingly said with a smirk. "Well, it's totally ok if you stare at my awesome sexiness!"
"Shut up!" she exclaimed. "I don't think you're THAT sexy!"
"But you think that I AM sexy?"
"Smug much?" she retorted playfully.
Ok, Imogen. Maybe it's time to tell him, she thought.
"Hey, Eli. I need to tell you something..." Imogen started.
"If you're going to tell me that you like me, then I already know," Eli said with a smile.
How did he find out?
"Did Clare tell you?" she asked.
"Well yeah... BUT I see the way you look at me. So it was kinda obvious..."
"Oh gosh! This is so embarassing!" Imogen started ranting on and on. Eli hushed her by tucking her hair behind her ear. She looked up at him and stared in his eyes. Eli smirked and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry... I like you too."
She looked at him, and he intertwined their fingers. They have no idea what direction they were about to take, but it could change their lives.
*End of Flashback*
Well, apparently, Imogen was wrong.
About six weeks after he literally admitted that he knew about her crush on him, her world suddenly came crashing down.
Yesterday, she was going to meet him at the Dot and ask him out.
But she did not expect the unexpected.
She found out from her other friend, Adam, that Eli is going out with another girl.
And that other girl happened to be Clare.
Imogen felt like she was going to faint. She canceled her plans to meet Eli at the Dot. Instead, she went straight home, not daring to face her so-called best friend and the guy she USED to have a crush on. Her parents weren't home, so she went to the bathroom, grabbed the razor from the medicine cabinent, and sat on the edge of the bathtub.
She felt so many emotions. Betrayal. Hurt. Anger. Heartbroken.
And with every emotion she felt, she slid the razor down her wrist, followed by a trail of blood.
The pain was unbearable. The blood made her smile. Right there, she was doing the job right.
She had to get the pain out...
Her phone started ringing on the counter. She got up, grabbed some toilet paper, and wiped the blood off. She flushed the bloody toliet paper down the toilet and took her phone off the counter. The screen flashed Adam's name, and she picked up.
"Hello?" Imogen said with a cracked voice.
"Imogen?" That wasn't Adam's voice.
That was Eli's...
Imogen clicked the end button and chucked the phone towards the opposite wall. It shattered into a million pieces, and all Imogen can do was cry.
A few weeks later...
"Imogen, sweetie, are you ok? You haven't been coming out of you room in a few weeks," her mother said on the other side of the door.
Imogen was curled up in her bed, hugging her pillow tightly. "I'm fine, mom."
"Well, your father and I are heading out for a little bit. Call us if you need anything."
Imogen didn't bother to respond. She heard her mother's footsteps walking away from the door. At the same time, her phone started dinging, signaling that she was getting a text. She grabbed her BACKUP phone off the nightstand next to her and open the message, only to see that it was from Clare.
Imogen? Look, I'm sorry. But I couldn't help it. I kinda liked Eli, too. I hope you'll understand. And if not... well...
-Clare
What the hell.
UNDERSTAND.
Clare, you knew that I liked Eli. FOR A VERY LONG TIME. And now, I hear that my own best friend betrayed me! You're no longer my best friend. It's ok. You can have Eli. But don't even try to talk to me EVER again. Our friendship is gone, and it'll take lots of time and sacrifices to get it back.
-Imogen
She turned her phone and slammed it back onto the nightstand. Imogen was just laying there for a while, until the doorbell rang. She groaned and lazily got up. She walked out of her bedroom and went downstairs and over to the door. She wiped the tears off of her face and opened it.
And just when the tears stopped flowing down her face.
"What do you want?" She asked harshly to the guy standing on her porch at the moment.
"Adam was right... I'm such a jerk," Eli said with guilt.
"You should be," she said venomously. "You're going out with my betraying friend, after you literally find out about my feelings for you. Do you realize how much pain came to me? I've spent the past few weeks finding a way to skip school. Plus, I've been doing this."
Imogen pulled up her left sleeve, only to reveal the many scars that appeared on her arm. Eli looked between her and the arm, running his fingers gently down the scars. She flinched when his fingers touch some one of the sore scars.
"You've been cutting yourself?" Eli asked with small tears in his eyes.
She nodded.
"I did this?"
Imogen yanked her arm away from his touch. "Goodbye, Eli."
She slammed the doorin his face. When she was sure he was gone, she started going crazy. She trashed the house, screamed, and cried.
Her parents came home to see a completely messy living room, and a bleeding and teary Imogen in the living room. Mr. Moreno rushed over to the phone, while her mother rushed over to Imogen and hugged her. Imogen cried hard onto her mother's shoulder.
"Don't worry, sweetie. Everything's going to be ok."
The ambulance came by and took Imogen to the hospital. Her parents decided to follow her there.
In the distance, there stood a boy. A boy who felt so guilty about what he did to the girl that used to like him.
All he could do was cry...
And hope that she wouldn't die like his other love of his life did.
Cuz I can't take it anymore
All you're doing is hurting me more
Make the permanent pain go away
Oh please go away...
