Disclamer: I don't own Degrassi or it's characters

Chapter 2: Decision Time

Kenya's great. I mean really great. The kids are so nice and I've gotten to see Darce again.

There's only one thing missing…Eli.

It's been three weeks since I ran away, three weeks since I've had any contact with Degrassi.

I wonder if everyone there is okay.

It's midnight here and Darcy is sound asleep so I sneak out and dial Eli's phone number into my cell phone.

"Hello." His mother, CeCe picks up.

"Hi CeCe, it's Clare, is Eli home?" I ask.

"He's right here." There is some static as she passes the phone.

"Hello." Eli says. I could just melt when I hear his voice.

"It's me." I say.

"Clare?" his voice has perked up some. I miss him.

"Yes." I reply.

"How are you, How's Kenya?"

"I'm good, Kenya's different. How is everyone there?"

"Alli has been pestering me, thinking I know more than she does."

"Have you told her?"

"No…not yet. Clare, I think you should go home."

"No, Eli, not yet. I can't face my parents." My eyes start to well up with tears.

"But, Clare, do this for me…"The line goes in and out. I hear a click, and a dial tone.

I sigh and walk back into Darcy's room that we've been sharing. To my surprise she's sitting upright on her bed, her brown eyes piercing through me.

"Buy a plane ticket already." she says.

"Darce.."

"No, look, Kenya can live without you. Go home."

"Only if you go with me." I say.

She eyes me for a moment considering. Within seconds she's made her mind up and gives me her answer.
