First fanfic! Sorry that it's really short. This was just me experimenting with my material. But I don't own anything related to Degrassi. I just love the Eclare pair-up. Anyway, if you can, review! Tell me your thoughts. I take them to heart.
It's been a few days since Clare told me she wanted to take a break. I still have one more week to be home, and the days are killing me. Just the other day, I passed by The Dot while on a walk and I saw Clare. She was wearing her long, black wig. I had the urge to talk to her. Hug her. Hold her. Kiss her. But what stopped me was the person sitting across from her. No, it wasn't Alli. It was Drew. Drew. I watched from a distance as her soft eyes started to water and Drew would hand her a napkin and hug her close. Jealous thoughts took over my twisted mind. I had to look away before I lost it.
"I don't know why, but just seeing that killed me inside. I should've been the one to hug her close. Even if she is complaining about how shitty I am." I buried my face into my hands and looked back at myself in the mirror. Somehow, I ended up at my parent's house. In the room where Clare helped me get over my hoarding problem. Everywhere I go, Clare somehow had an impact there. Clare. Clare. CLARE.
"Talking to myself hardly ever helps. I should call her. I just want to hear her voice." I forcibly took my phone out of my back pocket and turned the screen on. There staring back at me was the picture of Clare and I at the hospital. Before she lost her hair. Still a true beauty. Before I ended up staring at the picture again, I got a notification that said I had five missed calls. All from Lenore.
"Eli. Someone is here to see you." My mother said as I started to dial Clare's number. I brushed the hair out of my eyes and side stepped out of my door, not wanting to shove my mom. I trudged to the door, and saw an angel standing there. Fiddling with her dark locks. It was of course, Clare.
"I hope I wasn't barging in. You told me that you were staying for two weeks, and. Well, we need to talk. Is right now an okay time?" Clare said as she nervously shifted stances.
"Yes, yes of course. Let's go outside. We can talk there, okay?" I took her soft hand and sat down on the sidewalk. I pat the spot next to me and smiled at her. But she didn't smile back. She just slowly sat down and folded her hands into her lap.
"Eli," Her voice immediately got shaky. And right there, I saw the same look in her eyes that she had when she found out that I cheated. Her big eyes carried all these sadness and frustration. A huge lump formed in my throat, and there was a pit in my stomach. I didn't want to know what was coming next.
"I wish you could tell me that all of this never happened. But I know that you can't, as much as that honestly pains me to say. I want to forgive you. I do," Her eye started to water.
"Clare?" I quietly whispered as I put my hand on her knee. She turned away from me, and her mouth slowly opened, but she was interrupted by her phone ringing. Clare brought it out from her pocket, quickly looked at the screen, and shoved it back into her pocket. The pit in my stomach grew larger because I saw who texted her. It was Drew.
"Anyway, uhm," She sniffled a few times before looking out to the road. "I'm sorry, I just can't do this." Clare quickly got up and was torn away from me. She ran to her car, and before I knew it, she was gone.
"Oh, Baby Boy…" I heard my mother mumble. I whipped my head and saw Cece and Bullfrog standing there. Shaking their hands and giving me looks of pity. I felt my eyes water, but I refused to cry. Instead, I quietly retreated to my car. I got into my car and just sat in there. I didn't put the key in the ignition. I had no intention of going anywhere. I just wanted to sit there and think of her.
