Darcy came home, Jake is in jail, and all of this is explained in New Year, New Chapter. Disclaimer: I do not own Degrassi or it's characters but I DO own Julia Clara Goldsworthy and most of this plot. I do NOT own The One That Got Away by Katy Perry. Ok, here's Chapter One of The Rest Of Our Lives:
Clare's POV
I stared at myself with happiness. Today was the senior prom. Adam Torres, one of my best friend, came over to my house and we got ready together. I guess Adam really is like that girly best friend that's a guy. Adam curled my hair, while he talked about Fiona. Adam is marrying Fiona Coyne and I'm marrying Eli Goldsworthy next week. I smiled in anticipation as the bell rang.
I walked downstairs, and saw my older sister, Darcy, with a huge camera. "Say cheese!" Darcy ordered as I smiled with Adam. Adam ran towards the door, and kissed Fiona. "Fi! Eli!" Adam cheered, and Fiona hugged me. Eli walked towards me, smirked. "So, can Clarey get a kissy?" I teased. Eli lifted bridal style, and kissed my lips. "Are you happy Clarey?" Eli then joked. "Yes, yes I am." I replied.
Darcy took a bunch of pictures and we walked to Eli's hearse, which he named Morty Jr. Just as I was about to get in, my 1 year old daughter, Julia came over and yelled, "Mommy! Daddy! Hag fum!" I laughed as Julia was trying to master her grammar. I kissed her and ruffled her dark brown hair. Eli hugged her, and we got in the car.
Adam, tired of the silence, and he said, "Dad! When are we getting there?" I giggled and Fiona then caught on. "Mom! Why won't dad answer Adam?" Fiona played along. I understood what they meant. "Yeah Elijah, when are we getting there?" I asked. Eli smirked and looked back at Adam and Fiona. "We're here. Hold your horses. No going into dark alleys by yourself or you might be raped." Eli joked, and looked at me.
"Sometimes, you don't go into an alley by yourself and get raped, you get dragged there, then get raped." I corrected him. I remember my rape back in May, leading to Julia's twin brother getting stabbed and killed.
Fitz's face went purple, and he started choking. "Jake, Fitz is choking." I told him. "Screw Fitz." Jake growled. He walked up to me, and I smelled the taste of alcohol. "Listen Clarebear. I don't care you love Eli, you're coming home with me!" Jake yelled. He grabbed me, and corned me. I dropped Nick, and Jake placed him on the ground. "He took your V-card! But I'll take your…R-card!" Jake screamed. "What's a R-card?" I asked.
"I'm going to rape you!" Jake yelled, as he pulled my hair. "Eli! Eli! Help me! Dear god!" I screeched. Jake pulled my hair and dragged me into an alley. There, he started to take my shirt off. "STOP Jake!" I begged. I pleaded. There, he was at the point of almost taking my shirt off. He felt my bra, then started feeling it. I felt sick. Jake took my shirt off. "STOP IT YOU STUPID FREAKING WHORE!" I yelled. Jake laughed, as he got off me. I felt weak, and I couldn't believe what he was about to do. "Fine." Jake whispered, grabbed the knife, and stabbed Nick, right in the chest. Nick cried, as Jake stabbed his forehead, arm, leg, and…throat. Jake got back to me, and took my shirt off, and started kissing me.
I shuddered at the memory and got off the car. I walked into the cafeteria and we started dancing. All walked up to me with Dave. They're back together, since Alli tricked Dave into sleeping with her. "Clare! And…ew" Alli greeted, the ew being Eli. "Yeah. Ew to you to. Except that someone would see you and say, 'Damn! That girl is just….not even a word can describe her. Ugly!' and then they'd die." Eli joked.
Alli cleared her throat and said, "Shut up goth guy!" Eli smirked. "Goth guy? That's new." Eli replied. Alli smiled. "Fine emo boy. Whatever." Alli let out then dragged Dave away. "Thanks for being cruel to my best friend." I teased. "You're welcome. Anytime." Eli said.
Then, Karaoke Time went on. "First up on the list…Clare Edwards!" Jenna announced. Eli clapped and whispered. "You're welcome and good luck!" I dragged myself up to the stage and told Jenna my song. I grabbed the microphone and started.
"Summer after high school, when we first met." I started. I sang the whole song, and stumbled off the stage, to be crowded with cheers. I looked at Eli, and I asked him, "Did you sign me up?" I asked. "Maybe…" Eli answered. "You did." I assumed. "Maybe…" Eli repeated. "Say maybe and you did it." I said. "Maybe…NOT!" Eli replied. "You did." I assumed, and then Eli whispers, "'Cuz I did."
We danced and I walked over to the drink station. I turned around to find Adam drinking. "Hey…um…girl!" Adam greeted. I smelled him, and I knew what was going on. "Adam?" I asked. "Hmmm?" Adam replied. "Are you drinking?" I questioned. "I found this and it said lemonade." Adam told me. I observed it. I laughed, then got serious. I called over Eli, and he was drinking the exact same thing.
"Adam! Eli! This is HARD LEMONDADE! Someone must of snuck alcohol into here when a chaperone wasn't looking!" I told them. Eli smiled, and they both went into a laughing fit. "What's so funny? You're drunk!" I replied. "T-that you're all s-stressed o-out!" Eli slurred. I sighed, and went over to Fiona. She was drunk, and so was most of the people here at the senior prom.
Thank god I hate drinking something at dances, since the Ipecac incident with Eli and Fitz. I told Mr. Simpson, and he told everyone to go home. I dragged the three of them into Morty Jr., then put Adam and Fiona in the back. I put on their seatbelts, and walked over to Eli. "Eli, walk to the car. Get in, and give me the keys." I demanded. Eli looked at me confused. "You're driving?" he asked. "Of course! You're drunk! Give me the keys Eli!" I answered.
I searched Eli, and I couldn't find the keys. "Eli honey, where are the keys?" I asked. Eli shrugged. "I think in the dance." Eli replied. I realized that Eli forgot to lock the doors, when I looked over at Adam and Fiona. I ran off to the cafeteria, and found his keys next to a bottle of hard lemonade. He must really be drunk!
I walked back to Morty Jr., Eli took the keys, got in the driver seat, and locked the doors. I tried opening the door, but it was locked. "Eli! Open the door!" I demanded. Eli giggled, and he threw the keys out. I dragged him into the passenger seat, sat down, and I drove off. I dropped Adam at his house, and Fiona followed him. Oh dear gosh, don't tell me they're going to do it drunk!
I drove to Eli's house and dragged Eli up to the front door. I rang the bell, and a sleepy CeCe answered it. "Clare! Eli! It's one in the morning!" CeCe greeted. "Sorry CeCe…Eli's drunk." I told her. "Drunk? He's so de-" CeCe started. I stopped her and explained, "Someone snuck alcohol into the dance, and almost everyone there drank it thinking it's lemonade." I explained.
"Oh ok Clare. Well thanks and sorry for the trouble. Good night." CeCe answered, closing the door. I walked over to Morty Jr., realizing that I don't have a ride home. Then, CeCe opened the door and yelled, "You can drive Morty Jr. home!" I thanked her, and drove home.
