The sway of things
chapter 1
Clare's pov
As I walked home from school, yes walked home, because I refused to ride with Eli because of his unfair treatment of Fitz at the dot this afternoon. I thought about our current state in our relationship and what I should do about the whole Fitz returns thing. Eli was mad, no really mad at Fitz for almost stabbing him at "a night in Vegas" but you know what he wasn't exactly innocent, poisoning someone, yeah real funny Eli. I don't know who to side with, I would be with Eli but when he said "As your boyfriend my job is to protect you!" It kinda scared me and Fitz did sound like he was actually sorry. You know this wouldn't be an issue if Eli would just listen to Fitz or even just listen to me.
Eli's pov
I honestly don't know what I did wrong, I can't bring myself to forgive Fitz and that's final. and really I'm pissed at Clare for forgiving him so easily after he almost stabbed me. I don't know what she was thinking and I don't understand how she can't understand I have to protect her no matter what. All the same I just wanna have Clare see things my way and
get our relationship back to the way it was. I slammed the front door shut and turned on my computer and put on my ipod with a headphone in one ear and was listening to my favorite song by Dead Hand when a my IM popped up on my computer screen.
Clare9.0- Eli we need to talk
Mortygolds- what about?
Clare9.0- us and Fitz ... why can't you just accept his apology?
mortygolds- Hmm... let me think- oh yea probably because he almost stabbed me!
Clare9.0- why do you have to make things difficult!,just forgive and forget that's what I did it's much easier
mortygolds- I'm not making anything difficult!, I'm not forgiving him at least not until he does something more than just apologizes to me.
clare9.0- and what exactly would that something be?
Mortygolds- leave Degrassi forever
clare9.0- Eli!, that's just mean and completely unrealistic
I wanted this to end so I did what I knew would stop this and lighten the mood at the same time.
Mortygolds- fine I'll forgive him
clare9.0- finally!
Mortygolds- but your going to owe me
clare9.0- oh is that so
mortygolds- yep
Clare9.0- I'm really sorry but I have to go before my parents kill each other... I'll txt u later
Mortygolds- ok blue eyes... you still owe me though
Clare's pov
I signed off then I was so relieved that Eli had agreed to forgive Fitz and I understood just what he ment by "owe" him. I was going to give Eli a surprise I slipped on my coat and put a note on the table for my parents - went over to Eli's to study,be back before 11. love,clare. I then locked the door and began jogging down the sidewalk to Eli's house.
