Author's Note: Here is yet another Degrassi story. I hope you enjoy! I'm making Darcy the main character, because, well she's my favorite! I will put up some raunchy stuff, but it won't be in here. My long stories are going to be rated T, ideally.

On another note, this isn't my first time on this website! The reviews keep me going! Please put them in and I'll keep writing!

Here I am, back in Canada. After so long in Kenya it's truly wonderful to be back. I wonder, how is everyone? Spinner? Emma? My sister? I've been so detached for so long. It's strange, but truly wonderful to be back.

I walked in the door of my house and Clare was sitting on the couch working on some summer homework.

"Hey where are mom and dad?" I asked her.

"Well mom's here and dad's at the apartment," Clare responded. I looked at her funny. What was she talking about?

"Clare, what are you talking about? Have you been into drugs while I was away? And is that my shirt? It looks great on you. Boy, you've changed a lot. You're a girl now!"

"Thanks! And they didn't tell you in the letters?"

"What letters? I moved to build a new school! I was almost across the country! I thought you guys forgot about me!" I said with yet another questioning look at my little sister.

"They're divorced. Rather than making me move back and forth between where they live, they're the ones moving back and forth here. It's really nice. I feel like there's something constant in my life."

"They're divorced? But they never fought!"

"You weren't here to hear it all. It was terrible. I'm surprised there was no abuse."

"Wow. That's scary, but I'm glad they decided on what they thought was best. Anyway, how's school? Are there any boys asking you out on dates?"

"School's great! I'm still in advanced classes and I've been tutoring kids! There were a couple boys while you were gone. There was KC and he helped me break out of shell! Do you remember the skateboarding kid on the first day? That was him, and now there's Eli. He's great. I think I might be in love."

"That's great Clare Bear! How's Peter?" I asked about my ex-boyfriend. He was someone I missed a lot.

"Well he got addicted to meth, but he's not anymore. He had another girlfriend, Mia. The girl with the toddler."

"No way! He dated her? That's kinda weird! Isn't she a model now? Are they still together?"

"No," she laughed as she answered."Why did you ask?"

"Just wondering! How is Paige? Manny? Emma? Sav? Jane?"

"I don't really know too much about Paige and Manny at this point. Emma got married. Sav and Anya had sex. They broke up. Jane was dating Spinner and had a thing with this guy Declan. Jane and Spinner broke up."

"Who did Emma marry?"

"I bet you can't guess," Clare said with a devious smile on her face.

"Sean? It has to be Sean."

"Nope. Spinner!"

"Are you joking? That's ridiculous!"

"I'm not! Isn't that weird?"

"Pretty much."

"So are you going to come back to Degrassi and finish up that last semester of high school?" she inquired.

"Yeah. I have to. Well I guess this should be fun," I said, knowing that all my friends had graduated. "Do you know where I could find Peter by chance?"

"He should be at The Dot. If not, then the club above it. He owns it."

"Thanks Clare Bear. Finish that assignment or I'll beat you."

"Funny," she laughed as I walked out the door.

So much had happened while I was gone. I could hardly believe it. My parents divorced, which crushed my heart, but I guess things happen. I'm nineteen now. I needed to focus on other things. School was number one and then catching up with all my friends so they knew I was alive. I was gone for two years!

I walked into the door of The Dot. A few faces turned and looked at me funny. Did they not recognize me? I saw Peter's signature blonde hair, but I thought I would wait for him to notice me. I sat at a table nonchalantly and pulled out a menu. My brown hair, up in a curly ponytail, sat atop my head and poked up behind the menu. I decided on a salad to hold me over until dinner with Clare. We were going to celebrate!

Spinner, another ex-boyfriend, walked over to take my order. I looked up and he had the biggest surprised look on his face!

"So I heard you got married?" I smiled as I stood up and hugged him. "I missed everyone so much! How are you and Emma?"

"I can't even believe it's really you! Wow! It's great to see you, Darce!" He smiled hugely.

"Well, I need you to be a little bit quieter, I want to surprise Peter!"

"That's adorable. I won't say a word; I promise."

"Thanks so much, bud. Also, just have him bring me my salad."

"Ranch, croutons, tomatoes and onions?"

"As always! Thanks."

Spinner walked to the back and started preparing my salad. I couldn't wait to get it. I didn't want the salad. I just wanted to talk to Peter. Of everyone besides my family, he's the person I missed the most.

While sitting I pondered what to do after this. I had to do my last semester at Degrassi so I could get into college. I hoped that they'd let me in. It's not like I dropped out of school completely.

I heard footsteps approaching me and I pulled up the menu to my face.

"Excuse me, miss, but I have your salad," he said politely. Peter sure changed a little.

"Miss? I think that's a little too formal," I said, with the menu still covering my face. He didn't remember my voice.

"Well then what would you like me to call you?"

I pulled down the menu as I answered, "Darcy works just fine."

"OH MY GOD," he yelled as we jumped into an embrace. "I can't believe it's really you! You're here! Oh my god!"

"Yeah, Peter. It's really me! I heard about the meth. I'm glad you got through it and I'm sorry I wasn't here to help you through it. I know it sucked when I left. The only thing keeping me from suicide was the fact that people needed me in Kenya," I explained thoroughly.

"Wow. But you're here now! I can't believe it! Oh my god!" He really was quite ecstatic to see me! Hopefully we could do something later.

"Spin! Can I get the afternoon off?" Peter yelled to his boss.

Spinner, being the softie he is, granted Peter's request. He already knew my intentions. I guess being married does that to people.

Peter took off his work shirt and apron and revealed a little bit of abs. Damn, he still had that body and that face. I missed it.

"Well, Darce, what do you want to do on this wonderful summer day? Go to the pool? Spend time at my pad? Have a party? Visit everyone? I'm up for almost anything, as long as I'm with you." He smiled at me, and I turned a little red. We were playing this game again.

"Same here. I'm thinking we should go to the pool! And have a party! Where we can visit with everyone and I can meet all the new kids! After all, I have one semester left at Degrassi! I need some school friends!"

"Seriously? Sav just graduated! Gosh. I'm so sorry. Oh by the way, he's going out with Holly J. Sinclair!"

"No way. Is this a cruel joke? There's no way. She's a bitch! Why would he even date her anyway?" I was astounded that my good friend could even consider someone that mean.

"Well, she's actually a great girl. She's changed a lot. Her family went broke, so she had to get a job. She worked at The Dot and fell on love with Spinner. Then she went out with the kid Declan and they got together and broke up numerous times. All I know is that she's become a wonderful, young woman and a very pleasant person to be around."

"Wow. Too bad that didn't happen for Heather. What a bitch."

"Oh yes, but she was hot!"

I stared at Peter with an evil, but not legitimate, glare and said, "Really. Well you know who's hot? Not you."

"How rude!" he said with a playful smile. "Well, Darce, it's great to have you back. I missed you like crazy. I felt like a part of me was missing, and then I got used to it being gone, and now that you're back I feel whole again. You're such a great friend."

I smiled at him and said, "So are you, Peter. I missed you so much." I embraced him in the most love, and not lust-filled, hug that I'd ever given. The last thing I ever said verbally to him was 'you know I love you.' That embrace was more than I could have ever asked for. I still loved Peter and he only thought of me as a friend. Sure, I helped people in Kenya who needed it, and I feel like I truly did something with my life, but Peter Stone was a part of my life too. He was a part I needed and couldn't let go of. Yes, Peter is the love of my life, my Romeo, my everything, and I wasn't about to let him get away from me.
