Hey everyone! I just saw the Degrassi new preview and I have decided to ignore it. I don't believe Eclare will ever split and I refuse to. So this is a little two shot I thought of. Please don't ask me for more than two chapters, I want it to be short and sweet. I love you guys! Hope you like it! By the way, this will all be in Clare's POV.
Clare's POV:
He was leaving. Leaving me. Leaving Canada. Leaving. I took a breath as we packed the car. I had to take him to the airport. Eli joined the army. He was shipping out to Germany for two years. Today.
The ride to the airport was silent. I clung to Eli's hand tightly. I was terrified. We settled on staying together. But I knew long distance could be a bitch. Eli and I are only dating. If you're curious. It's been four years. We thought about marriage, but then this happened. So here we are.
Eli grabbed his military bag and we walked the entrance. Hand in hand. Silent. He was dressed in his uniform. The camophalge made me miss his regular black and grey attire. His hair was buzzed after basic training. I missed his dark black locks. But he was still my Eli.
"So this is it?" I ask as we stand in front of security.
Eli's face drops, "No. Clare. No. I'll be back. This is not goodbye."
I nod, taking another breath, "Two years isn't so long? Right?"
Eli smiles weakly, "No. Blink and it's over."
"Promise me you won't forget me?" I ask.
"Clare. I'm not going to break up with you. I'm yours, you're mine. Nonnegotiable." He states.
I look at my watch he has to go, like ten minutes ago, "Eli. The time."
He finishes, "Can wait until I say a proper goodbye."
I sigh as I wrap my arms around his torso. He holds my waist tightly. I looked into his shinnying emerald eyes, knowing the next time I see him is far, far away, "I love you my Elijah. So much."
Eli leans down and takes my lips in his. The kiss was passionate. Needy. Desperate. He was really leaving. "Clare, God, I love you too."
I try to muster a smile. For him. Eli tries to return it. I notice a tear sliver down his cheek as he wipes one from mine. I return the favor, "Write me every day?"
He nods, "I will. Write back."
I nod, "I will."
He looks in my eyes, "Don't forget about me."
I shake my head, "Never."
We were out of time. I grab a sharpie from my purse and reach for him, "Give me your arm."
He looks curious, but stretches his arm out. I take it in my hand and write Come Back across his forearm.
Eli reads it and smiles, "I will." He whispers, "Give me that."
I hand him the sharpie as he takes me wrist. He writes Be Here. I whisper, "I will."
I hug him tightly as he kisses me one final time, "I love you my sweet, beautiful Clare."
I sniffle through tears, "I love you too, always my Eli."
He looks at my eyes, "Blue eyes."
I blush, "You have to go, or you won't get on the plane."
He nods, "I'm not saying good bye. I'm saying see you later. See you later Blue Eyes."
I smile and kiss him once more, "See you later my Elijah."
I watch him go until he passes security. So fast. So soon. He's gone.
