Happy 2015!

It's a new year, so i'm going to start fresh, which means i'm going to write more and update more often. Thanks for everyone for sticking around, i'm sorry for letting everyone wait this long.

I came up with this one-shot after watching Hero vs Villian, i actually didn't really care about the Triles plot, the Zoe plot was.. just Zoe. I really don't like her, she always complains about people 'treating her like a victim', but she acts like one to manipulate people.

Then the Eclare plot, it was way to short in my opinion. I expected them to make up, Clare telling Eli the baby was his, something like that.

I get that Eli is mad at Clare, but calling her a whore went too far.. What do you guys think?

Leave a review, and have fun reading!

Whore.

Eli never said something like that to her, she knew he said it because he was angry, but it really hurt.

Clare was at home, crying softly in a pillow.

She never expected this to happen. That the conversation that was supposed to fix things between them only drove them further apart.

He told her to go back to Drew, who was also angry at her, because Dallas told him he wasn't the father before she could.

Fixing things with Drew weren't really on the top of her list of things to do. She needed to tell Eli that he was the father, because she knew that if she didn't, it would only make things worse.

After a few hours of crying, trying to call Eli so they could meet and staring out of the window, thinking of what to do, Clare couldn't take it any longer.

She had to tell him, if he was mad at her or not, he needed to know, he couldn't find out the way Drew did, it had to come from her.

While wiping the tears and the stains of make up from her cheeks, she stood up.

Her mom wasn't home, so she just slipped on her coat and went out the front door.

To the Dot.

To Eli.

'Your back.' Eli said coldly, walking past her to give some costumers their order.

'Eli, i need to tell you something.' Clare said directly.

'I don't want to her the details of what you and Drew do when you are alone.' Eli walked outside to clean tables.

Clare followed him.

'Eli i know you're mad, but can you please cut the attitude for one second and listen to what i have to say?'

'I don't care what you have to say Clare. Why don't you go back to your baby daddy to decorate the nursery.' Eli said, wiping the dirt of a table.

'Because he isn-' Clare began, but Eli cutted her of.

'Because he isn't good enough in bed? Is that why you keep running t-' Clare cutted Eli off this time.

Even though he was hurting her with all the things he said, she still needed to say it.

'Because Drew is not the father. You are.'

Eli turned around, slowly.

'Excuse me?'

'Yes, Eli. You are the father.'

When he didn't say something, Clare continued.

'I thought Drew was the father, because he was the last guy i.. got intimate with. But when i went to the doctor to check the baby, they could already say what for gender the baby was going to be. I was suprised, because i thought you couldn't see the gender after 12 weeks, they told me that you couldn't, and i was pregnant for 16 weeks, not 12. And so i found out that..'

'The baby was mine..' Eli softly said.

Clare nodded.

'I know you are still mad at me, and you probably hate me, but.. i just wanted to let you know. You don't have to be involved, i totally understand..'

Eli looked at the ground, still not saying anything.

'For what it's worth, i'm sorry. I still can't imagine a life without you, and i love you, but i guess you can. Goodbye, Eli.'

Clare turned around, ready to walk back home.

'I love you too.' Eli's voice said behind her.

Clare turned around, not really believing what she heard.

Eli walked to her.

'Clare, you know i could never hate you, even if i wanted too, i can't.'

He didn't know what to do or to think. He was the father, but that didn't take away the fact that she had sex with Drew. That she hurt him like that. But he wasn't going to let her walk out of his life, taking his child with her. He wanted to be involved, and he still loved Clare. And to be honest, his heart broke when he saw her cry earlier. He wasn't ready to give up on them that easily.

She walked closer towards him, and just hugged him. Without thinking, Eli wrapped his arms around her. For a moment, it felt like there was just them, and no one else.

It felt right.

'So what should i do now?' Clare whispered softly in his ear.

'We. Even though our relationship is complicated right now, i'm not letting you go through this alone.'

'Goldsworhty, these tables aren't going to clean themselves!' Spinner shouted.

'I have to get back to work. We'll talk about this later okay?' Eli asked.

Clare nodded. 'Yes, of course. It's always yes with you Eli.' Clare said, giving him a small smile.

Eli just smirked, damn, she missed that smirk. She missed it. She missed them.

But this time things would be different.

'What do you want?' Dallas said, standing in the doorway.

After she told Eli, she decided to try to make up with Drew too.

'I want to talk to Drew.' Clare said.

'He doesn't want to talk to you right now.'

Clare was getting annoyed, this wasn't his even his business.

'Then i'd like to hear that from Drew himself.' Clare pushed Dallas aside to find Drew.

She found him downstairs, laying on the couch.

'Clare. What are you doing here? Don't you know my life is already ruined thanks to you?' Drew asked bitterly.

'I want to talk to you. And if you don't want to talk, then i'll talk and you listen.'

Dallas came downstairs too. 'Want me to let her out?' He asked.

Drew shook his head. 'No it's fine.'

Dallas just nodded and went upstairs.

Clare took a seat next to Drew.

'I know i should've told you earlier that you are not the father, but i was shocked too. I'm sorry for the way things went, and that you had to hear it from Dallas. I also know that i've kinda ruined your life, but i didn't mean to okay? I didn't expect all of this too.'

'It's your fault Becky broke up with me.. I told my mom.. she still thinks it's mine.' Drew said.

'I'm sorry Drew. I really am. But now you know you are not the father, so you don't have to worry about this anymore. I'll help you tell your mom, i'll even talk to Becky for you if you want to.. Just forgive me. Please.'

'You're right. Okay, i'll forgive you. I guess i should be glad i have my life back, sort of.'

It was silent for a moment.

'I should go..' Clare stood up.

So did Drew. 'I should tell my mom she isn't going to be a grandmother anytime soon..

'You want me to stay?' Clare asked.

'No, i'll handle it myself. But uhm, thanks.'

When Drew and Clare reached the front door, Clare asked:

'So, is everything good between us now?'

'Yeah, it's fine. Bye Clare.'

'Bye Drew'

And with that, he closed the door.

I don't know if i should keep this a one-shot or continue this as a story. What do you think?
