Disclaimer: I don't own degrassi, but kudos to you for thinking I did xD

One year. Its actually been one year since the night my parents decided to leave a week from Christmas, a year since I confessed my love for Eli. Well, I will be a year in one week. In one week will be our anniversary.

Life's been different since Eli entered it as my boyfriend. He brought my life back together. He kept it from crumbling before me. My life was being held by tape on before him. But, now it's better then ever.

Mom and dad haven't argued since Christmas. Well, they would have occasional little fits, but that only means that you truly love one another. Even Eli and I have an occasional argue about something entirely stupid. But its only because we've both had a bad day, and anything will set us off. But being in each others present for a mere 5 minutes will get us in a better mood, and those fights? Always end in an intense make-out session.

Mom and Dad have a whole new input on life now. Apparently, Elis changed all of us. Mom now lives life more freely, and not as saintly. Dad? Well, he loved this fiery side of mom, and so do I. sure, we still go to church, but only sometimes. I remember telling mom and dad about my plan with Eli like it was yesterday.

*Flashback*

I was nervous. Extremely nervous. But I couldn't walk around the house with out my ring on my finger without an explanation any longer. I had to tell them. I felt like I was betraying them, without telling them. Sure, I wasn't going to listen to them if they said other wise, but I at least owed them the respect on telling them

I was in my room for hour,. just thinking on how to tell them. I mean, its not every day when you have to go up to your parents and tell them you want to lose your virginity.

I finally just decided to come out and day it. Rip the band-aid off as Adam would say it. I told Eli about it, and that conversation was surprisingly, not awkward at all. He simply said to so what I felt I needed to.

"Mom? Dad?" I asked from the stairs.

"In the kitchen honey?" Mom replied.

I walked into the kitchen to see both of my parents leaning against the counter. Dad holding the news paper and mom drinking coffee.

"What is it?" mom asked.

"Um...well, I need to tell you something." I said.

"Okay, shoot." said Dad, setting the paper down.

"Well, I've been thinking about stuff lately. And ive come to conclude that my puridy ring has a meaning. But maybe not the meaning that I thought it ment the whole time I was wearing it."
"Oh so this is about your purity ring. Go on." Mom said. She actually sounded….excided?

"Well, the meaning I thought it meant was that we had to wait until marriage to be um-pure. But you weren't un-pure, and I know that. So, I realized that maybe the puridy ring maybe isn't for waiting until marriage, but waiting until you found someone you love." I said carefully choosing my words.

"Clare…if you're trying to say that you found somebody you love, and want to take the next step, then that's fine."

"What?" I asked.

"Sweetheart, if that boy of yours taught us anything on that one phone call, it's that marriage is just a piece of paper saying you love one another. We abused it. So, were changing. Living life differently, and if you think you've found true love, then we're not going to stop you. When I lost my virginity, I was in love, but he left me, after I was pregnant. So, I knew he didn't love me as much as I loved him. But with Eli, I know he loves you. I can tell by the way he looks at you. Do whatever you want, but I only ask one thing; make sure you're positively ready before you do it. As long as you do that, then I'm fine with it, right babe?"

"Sounds good to me, just don't do it while were here, and I wont be sitting on your bed anymore." Dad answered.

I giggled. "Thanks. I will. I love you."

"Love you too."

*end flashback*

That was a month after Christmas. The months that followed were absolutely amazing. Eli and I were inseparateable. We would go on dates, hug each other when we first saw each other for the day, kiss, say 'I love you' every time we ended a phone call or left the room, and he would call me every night to say goodnight. I loved it. We would occasionally go a little further then making-out, but we always go interrupted by someone coming home or getting a text message, which would kill the mood.

I looked back down at the necklace Eli gave me. It made me smile, still. I never take it off, unless it turned my neck green (1), then I take it off for the night, but then in the morning its normal again so I put it back on.

Yes, I know, what about my cross necklaces? Well,my parents may have fully changed, but it wasn't only because my parents had believed in him that I believed in him, I actually liked what we did. I just wanted a change, but not a full one. So I got a charm bracelet and put the cross on there for a charm.

Eli liked the idea, and he'd surprised me on out one month anniversary by getting me a charm for the bracelet. There was 12 on there now, all resembling out relationship in some way.

Truth was, Eli was a very sappy person, that I somehow got amusement out of, but found it incredibly adorable.

Lately though, it's like he's been distant. When I would think it's the right time, he would make an excuse or something. And when someone comes home or I have to leave, he lets out a sigh. I think he means it out of frustration, but I can see right through him and see that its out of relief. I don't know what up….but I know I'm going to find out. Next time, ill catch him, and ask what's wrong, hopefully.

Omggg what gonna happen? Don't worry I can't make this too sad…but remember….i cant read VERY SAD BREAK UP STORYS….due to my emotional restraint.

I'm terribly sorry for this short chapter…but it's the prologue…so their kind of supposed to be short right?

Anyways, ill leave responses to my reviews at the beginning of each chapter…cuz I like it when others do that. And, I make a shout out to you if you give me an idea (hint hint) or just because I think you're amazing xD
