Chapter !: Reunited
"Hey, have you heard?" I asked Adam curiously.
"...Heard what?" he asked me confused
"That Fitz will be coming back to Degrassi soon..."
"What? Really? I can't believe they're actually gonna let him back after what he did" he
said angrily.
"I know...I just don't want to have to see his face ever again..."
"I wonder how Eli's gonna react once he finds out.." He shivered at the thought of it.
"Yeah, but, Eli has nothing to do with me anymore...and it's all HIS fault..."
"Is it really Clare? Or are you just blaming him for your own faults?"
I've always wondered about that. Was it really Fitz's fault that we broke up? Or was I just
saying that so I could be angry at something else...or rather someONE else.
"Clare? Are you Okay? You've been kinda spaced out lately."
"I'm fine Adam, really. I've just got a lot on my mind. And this whole Fitz thing isn't
clearing anything up either." I told him
"Well, I'll see you tomorrow, Okay? I can't be late today. My mom would freak."
He smiled. "Sure thing. See you tomorrow." We waved goodbye and then parted ways.
Shortly after I arrived home, I found the house to be empty.
"Mom?" I called.
"Mom?" No answer.
This worried me. Usually mom was always home before me. There must be something wrong, I thought.
I called her cellphone but it went straight to voicemail.
"Well, maybe she's just running late or something…I should just wait for her to get home" I thought
I decided to calm down and get started on my book report for English class.
After a long while of silence, I heard something. A knock.
I turned around to see where it was coming from. The door maybe?
I got up to answer the door but there was nobody there.
"Well, that's odd." I uttered to myself.
The knocking started again.
I went in the kitchen and grabbed the broom. "Hello? Is anyone there?"
Nothing but knocking. Except this time, the knocking was different.
It was sped up and definitely a lot louder.
It was coming from upstairs. Slowly, I crept up the stairs, tightly gripping the broom in my
hands. At the very last step, the knocking changed to rattling.
"Oh god, someone's trying to break in." I whispered.
It was coming from my room, I realized.
I opened my door and there was someone against the window. Staring at me.
"Clare. Open your window." The stranger told me.
"W-who are you and what do you want with me?" I stuttered.
"I just want to talk. So please, open your window. I promise I won't hurt you."
I laughed. "yeah right, I've heard that one before."
"Clare...please."
I sighed and started for the window.
Once I reached the window I stopped. "Just what am I doing?" I asked myself.
I ignored it and opened the window only to reveal one very familiar face.
Fitz.
