Alrighty, I was getting bored with my other stories, so here is a new one... basic summary: my story will always be in Clare's POV or Eli's POV. Every chapter will be based on a song but they won't be oneshots, the story will continue. It will be ten chapters long and... okay! Let's begin!
(*Disclaimer: I don't own Degrassi, cuz if I did Eli would be helping me w/ my French exam! I only own my idea. I don't own the "I CANT HAVE A JULIA!" Someone else wrote that and I loved it so much that I used it! DON'T HATE ME!*)
Chapter One: Need You Now
(Clare's POV)
-Flashback- I'm sorry. About everything. You win." "I've heard that before," "This time I'm serious." "So am I, you've had this coming for a while. What's wrong emo boy, out of smartass comments?" "Don't do this." "Someone's gotta shut you up!" The knife. The stab. Eli sliding down the wall and Fitz laughing manically.
"Eli, come with me, Fitz has a knife!" "I'm not gonna let that jerk scare me." "Eli, he has a knife!" "Aw, don't you two look cute!" "Fitz, don't do this!" "Shut up Bitch!" "Get away from me." "Look,
I woke up in a cold sweat and rolled over to switch my lamp on. I sat up and breathed deep breaths. Tonight's events replayed in my nightmare quite vividly. I stared at my wall covered
top to bottom in photos. I saw Ally, Connor, and I at the robotics competition. I smiled at my dorky school uniform and the gaping hole in the picture where KC's head was. I also saw a
picture of Darcy & I on vacation years ago. Before the rape, before Kenya, before the fighting started. I stood up and walked over to the more recent line of photos. Adam, Eli & I at
Wonderland; Ally & I before Vegas Night, photo booth pictures of Eli & I... looking at all the memories made me cry. I slumped against the wall and cried harder than I ever had before. I
glanced at the clock: 1:15 AM. I continued to cry as I reached for the phone. I quickly hit #2 speed dial and listened to it ring. "Hello?" A groggy voice answered. "Eli?" I half spoke, half
sobbed. "Clare?" He sounded more awake now and I wiped my eyes on my sleeve. "Eli, I, uh, need you. Can you come over?" I cried. "I'll be right there." He hung up and I leaned my
head against the wall. I swore to myself that I wouldn't call him, but I did. My resolve dissolved with the nightmare and I knew one thing: I couldn't & wouldn't live without Eli.
Eli tapped on my window and I hurriedly opened it. He tentatively opened his arms and I broke. I threw my arms around his neck and sobbed. "Clare, what's wrong?" He whispered into
my hair. "I cannot lose you!" I sniffled. He stroked my hair as I cried. We sat down on my bed and I leaned into his embrace like I would never get another. "Clare, I am so sorry." He said
tenderly. I sat up and wiped my eyes. "Sorry for what? For almost getting stabbed, for trying to poison Fitz, for not running away?" His eyes hardened as I said Fitz. "That was never my
intention." He started but I interrupted. "It never was. But that's what happened. I CAN'T HAVE A JULIA, ELI!" I almost screamed. I watched as his calm façade broke and his face
crumpled. Tears fell down his face as I also started to cry again. We clung to each other as we sobbed out the night's emotions. "I swear, Clare Diana Edwards, I will never make you go
through that. You have to believe me." He tearfully pleaded with me and I gazed into his emerald green eyes. Our faces drew nearer and our lips met. I hung onto him like he was all I
had left, which was true. The kiss deepened and my stomach did a back flip. I pulled away and smiled at him. "Don't you dare leave me, you here?" He chuckled and pulled me back in.
"Promise," He whispered on my lips. I was in seventh heaven until I heard a door open down the hall. I gasped as I heard my mom come down the hall. Even Eli's eyes widened and he
dashed under my bed.
I quickly resumed my position on my bed, reading Temptations: The Fortnight Prequel. "Clare? Why are you up, sweetie?" My mom asked. I looked up and she saw
my puffy eyes and her eyes softened. "Oh sweetie, did you have a nightmare about Vegas Night? Already?" She sat down and only I heard the tiny yelp of pain. I almost giggled when I
saw Eli's finger sliding under my bed. "Mum, I almost saw my- I mean, a student get stabbed! It was horrible!" I started to cry again and my mom hugged me tightly. "Oh, sweetie, I'm so
sorry. Goodness, maybe Degrassi isn't the right school for you." My eyes widened and I shook my head vehemently. "Mum, I'll be fine. Just a little tired." She nodded understandably and
kissed me goodnight and exited. I held Eli under my bed until I was sure my mom was in bed. "Well, Clare, I should let you get some sleep. Plus if I'm not home my mom will freak." My
heart dropped and I missed him already. We swiftly kissed with a passion and he left through the window. I slid under my covers and sighed. As horrifying as this night was, this highlight
made it all fade away. Now all I have to do is enjoy my two week winter break.
So what did you think? I hope you like it! BTW, sorry if Eli is a little bit OOC but I felt like the emotions in this chapter were imperative. So, show Eli some love and REVIEW!
