Not too long ago, Clare wore one outfit to school everyday. A white top with a navy blue cotton vest along with a matching plaid skirt and knee-high socks. Since then, she had grown into her own person and it was all thanks to Alli for giving her the push to not be afraid of change. The pretty eyed teen was now much like others her age.
The person she once was came nowhere close to what the Christian girl had become. Clothing style wasn't the only thing that had changed. She was very outspoken and rebellious. Her life once appeared to be bright and happy. It was the life Clare only knew. The life her parents had given her. Now.. Everything seemed dark. Her parents were getting a divorce, Darcy was still in Kenya, and Alli transferred out of Degrassi. Despite how things were going for her right now, one person was able to bring some light into her life. Eli Goldsworthy, the boyfriend.
Sighing, Clare sat on the floor of Eli's bedroom. Binders, papers, action figures, clothes, anything that held sentimental value covered every inch of the floor. After Eli finally opened up to Clare more about his past, she understood why he was pushing her away. She no longer felt jealous of his dead ex-girlfriend.
It took hours for the two straighten the bedroom up and throw away the unnecessary junk that covered the floor. Every time I try to throw something out, I feel like I'm going to die. Clare felt good to help him change for the better. Each and every thing the two went through, she reassured him that things were going to be okay.. That no one was going to die. The floor was almost spotless, you could finally see the hardwood floor. After hours of cleaning, they both needed a little break. Eli got up from a sitting position and onto his feet before he walked over to his bed and sat at the edge, his dark eyes focused on Clare.
"Thanks. This means a lot to me.", He said as he laid flat on his back.
Clare nodded her head and stood on her feet, walking to the bed. Her eyes locked on his, she sat herself on the bed next to him. Looking back on when she dated KC, Clare was thankful she met Eli. She was thankful to have him as her boyfriend. She may have loved KC in the past, but she was never in love with him as she was with Eli. The hearse driver drove her mind wild. As much as he thought she wasn't ready to take things to another level, she was sure she was. The want to feel his hands touch every inch of her body, the want to be close to him. It wasn't lust, it was love. She wanted to make love, even if it went against her family's beliefs. Her parents divorcing, she had began questioning her beliefs. It might have been wrong to do what she wanted, but God forgives people for their sins and Clare knew that he would forgive her.
"E-Eli.. What was Julia like?", She asked as she laid back to keep her focus on him. It was something she really wanted to know.
"She was an amazing girl. Never cared much what people thought of her. She was fun to be around. We spent a lot of our time riding in shopping carts around grocery stores.", He said, rolling onto his side.
