Alright so I decided that this will end up being a three-shot or maybe longer, we will see! Let me know. Here is chapter 2!
Clare's POV
Oh my gosh! I can't believe what just happened. I have to call Alli! Hopefully she will know what to do! I dial her number and she picks up on the third ring.
"Hey Clare! How are yo-"She starts but I cut her off harshly.
"Shut up! I am freaking out! I need you!" I yelled.
"Umm….okay I will be right over" She replied hesitantly.
I was pacing back and forth in my room until I heard a ding go off on my computer. It was a FaceRange update.
Eli Goldsworthy edited relationship status to single.
Oh no! Another ding!
Eli Goldsworthy is no longer friends with you.
I really need to talk to Alli. Where is she? I decided to check my email to pass the time. I saw that I had no new messages but a ton of old ones that Eli had sent to me. I clicked on the last one he sent to me. That was a mistake because the second I read it I burst into tears. This is what it said:
Hey Clare!
I am sitting at home all alone and I can't stop thinking about you. Look what you have turned me into! I cannot believe that our six month anniversary is coming up! I can't wait to see the look on your face once you see the surprise. I hope you will love it! By the way I need to tell you something important. Something that can't wait for our anniversary. I want to tell you before. Don't get freaked out. I will see you in two days to tell you. I would tell you tomorrow but I know that I can't see you in person so I shall wait. I can't wait to see you and kiss those amazing lips of yours!
Yours truly,
Eli
He wrote that two days ago. I thought to myself. Where is Alli? Just as I thought that I heard the doorbell. Finally!
"Hey Alli!" I said after running down the stairs and opening the door.
"Clare! Why are you crying?" She asked me. Oops. I had forgotten I had been crying.
"Alli! Eli broke up with me!" I yell as I start to break into tears once again.
"What! Why?" She questioned as she tried to soothe me. I tell her the whole story and she looks at me with sincerity in her eyes as she listens.
"Do you think what I did was stupid?" I ask her not really wanting to know the answer.
"I can see where you are coming from but I can also see where Eli stands. You need to try to explain to him what really happened." She explains.
"He won't talk to me Alli! He hates me and I don't blame him! Heck, I hate myself!" I scream.
"Clare, don't talk like that. Eli wouldn't be very happy if he heard you right now." She says.
"Oh really? I am sure he doesn't give a crap!" I then realize that I have been yelling at her for no reason. "I'm sorry Alli. I am not trying to be rude to you. I just can't believe what happened today."
"I know Clare."
"On top of that Eli said he had to tell me something on the phone earlier today and he sounded nervous. I will never find out what he was going to say." I said disappointed.
"You will Clare. You will" She stated as she pulled me into a hug.
*At school*
I was at my locker getting the books I needed when all of a sudden I heard footsteps and a big sigh behind me. I turn around to see who it was and depression took over the second I looked into his eyes.
Eli's POV
I hopped out of Morty and was making my way towards the entrance of Degrassi. I was really depressed. That was expected though, wasn't it? I was walking to my locker really hoping that I didn't run into her. Her locker was right next to mine though so I thought those chances were very low. I saw her standing of course at her locker and more importantly right next to mine. I sighed knowing that there was no way out of this one. She must have heard me because she turns around and meets my eyes. The second I looked into her eyes I felt tears in my eyes. Oh no. She cannot see me cry. I am supposed to be strong. I broke with her. She can't know that she broke your heart. Even though she never knew she had it in the first place. I cleared my throat awkwardly and passed her and stood next to her as I opened my locker.
"Hey. I need to talk to you."She said. Her voice lower than a whisper.
"No. Clare. I can't."I said as tears ran from my eyes and onto my cheeks. I can't believe I was crying in front of her. No turning back now. So I said, "You broke me Clare. I can't deal with you or even look at you. I am crying because of you. I hope you are happy. You hurt me. Are you satisfied?" I screamed the last question. Her eyes looked hurt and full of regret. She started sobbing. I hate seeing her sad especially when I caused it but then I remembered I was sad and she cause it. I slammed my locker shut and turned around to walk away. I heard her say faintly,
"I didn't mean to hurt you. Let me explain please."
"No."I said harshly.
"Please." She was pleading and begging me with her eyes. I had to stay strong so I simply said once again, "No." I then walked to class feeling like crap.
*One Week Later*
Clare tried so hard to talk to me the first few days but now she looks like she has given up. That is fine for me. Just perfect even. I heard the doorbell ring and I was home alone which meant I had to get up. Ugh! I groaned as I stepped on the pencil on the floor.
"Eli! Open up now! I have to talk to you!" I heard the voice yell from the either side of the door. It sounded familiar but I couldn't put a face or name to it. When I opened the door it surprised me to see Alli barge in.
"God, Eli! What took you so long! I am freezing and I have to talk to you!" She yelled.
"Sorry. I didn't know who it was and I stepped on a pencil." I replied in an angry tone.
"Never mind that! We have bigger problems!" She said almost urgently.
"Which is?" I asked not really caring.
"You and Clare." She stated simply. Now I really don't care. I mean I can't believe Clare sent over Alli to tell me to talk to her. Pathetic! I thought to myself or so I thought.
"Clare had nothing to do with this. This was all me and I want you to listen to me." She says not giving up.
"Fine." I gave in knowing that she would have forced me anyway. This Alli chick was tiny but she was full of rage. You don't want her mad.
"Good! Not here though. This place looks like a dump! Let's go to the Dot!" She said happily.
"Okay. Just let me write a quick note to my parents and get my keys.
"Oh no! I will not drive in a hearse. We are walking! Go write the note! GO!" God this girl!
Clare's POV
I stand there very nervous. I really hope Eli is not home right now. I knock on the door after looking at it for about 10 minutes but instantly regret it. I kept repeating "Don't let Eli be home please!" Then the door opened.
"Oh Clare! What a nice surprise. If you are looking for Eli he isn't here." Eli's mother Cece greets me.
"Thank you Lord!" I yell to the sky but then receive a very strange look from the mother of the boy I am in love with. "Sorry. I was actually hoping to talk to you, alone."
"Oh okay. Sure sweetie come on in!" After she says that she lets me walk through the door and we walk to the living room.
"Did you want anything to eat or drink?" She asks politely.
"Oh no thank you. Hopefully this won't take to long." I reply. Just then Eli's dad Bullfrog came in.
"Clarebell! What a nice surprise!" He exclaims with a happy smile.
"Oh hello." I say in a small voice. I hated it whenever Eli left me alone with the two of them just by myself but I was always okay because I knew Eli would come right back just like he promised. Only this time there was no Eli.
"Oh dear would you mind leaving me and Clare alone? She wanted to talk." Cece tells her husband.
"Actually I would love it if I could talk to both of you. I want to know both of your opinions."
"Opinions on what sweetheart?" Cece asked me as we all sat down on the couch. I told them the whole story after this. They looked shocked. I guess they didn't know what happened.
"Eli didn't tell you this?" I ask them.
"No." They reply.
"I wonder why." I asked myself aloud.
"Oh sweetie you know El,i he will come around." Cece tells me. I start to cry then.
"That is the thing. I don't think he will. I love Eli and he doesn't know it. I know from where Eli stands it looks terrible. If he would just give me the chance to explain I think we could work this out. That is if he loves me too" I choked out while Cece's arms are around me and Bullfrog's hand is on my shoulder in a comforting way.
"Hey Clare." Bullfrog says all of a sudden.
"Yeah?" I ask him while wiping some tears away.
"Did Eli ever tell you what he was talking about on the phone?" He asks.
"No, why?" I reply confused. He gives me a knowing smile and looks up at his wife and they both laugh. What was so funny?
"What's so funny?" I question.
"You need to ask Eli what he was talking about. You need to know." After he said that he got up and left. Leaving just Cece and me.
"It will all be okay. I promise." She smiles down at me and hugs me closer to her as I cry violently.
Eli's POV
I was driving back from dropping off Alli. I must say the talk with her really opened my mind. I am going to talk to Clare tomorrow and I will tell her that I am in love with her. I pull up to my house and ran to the door. I still haven't told my parents about what happened but I am going to right now and then tell them how I will give her a chance to explain. I love Clare and I will do anything for her. Even if that anything is listen to what she has to say about what happened. I unlocked the door with my key and walk inside I am about to call for my parents but then I hear somebody sobbing. That is when I went into the living room and saw Clare crying and my mom holding her telling her that everything will be okay.
"Clare…"
Cliffhanger! I love you guys! Keep reviewing and letting me know what you think! More reviews means more chapters!
