CLARE'S POV !

Clare hadn't thought of it. "Alli, you're a freaking genuis!" She hugged her best friend.

Alli shook her head. "No, I didn't mean it litterally!" She gripped Clare's shoulders tightly. "Only run away if you can't figure out anything else, okay?"

The pregnant girl protested. "Alli, what else can I do? If I told Eli and stayed here, he might not love me anymore! He could leave me and..." She paused to wipe away the tears that glided down her face.

"And what?" Alli asked, impatently. She had her arms crossed across her chest, and looked at her friend, waiting for an answer.

Clare shook her head. "Nevermind. But, you get the point." Clare picked up her bag of the ground, stood up, and walked out the door of the Dot. She felt Alli grab her wrist. She turned sharply around to face her friend.

"But," Alli started, "if you told Eli he most likely will help you get through this, Clare! He loves you for God's sake!"

Clare didn't know what to choose. "I would... But, I don't want to trouble him with a child. He already has to deal with enough shit." At that Clare turned on her heel, slung her bag on her back, and walked out of the Dot.

Clare had just opened the door to her house. To her not surpise, her parents were arguing once again. She snuck up the stairs and into her room. Clare rummaged through her closet to find a bag large enough to fit a couple pairs of clothes into. She packed three pairs of jeans, three shirts, her toothbrush, four bottles of water, paper, pens, a blanket, a small pillow, and the $124 dollars she had in her purse.

I can't believe I'm doing this. She thought about unpacking her things and telling Eli the truth. No. I can't. If some people find out they could possibly tell some other people till it got to Fitz. He would most likely kill Eli! And then- She forced herself to stop. She couldn't think like this. Nobody would know so Eli would be okay. Right?

Clare scribbled down a quick note. It read;

Eli,

I can't be here with you anymore. I'm sorry you had to find out this way. You most likely won't see or hear from me again. I just wanted you to know I still do love you but, something came up and I can't handle it. So... I ran away. Please, don't try to find me because I'd rather not be found. Well, not right now.

I hope you can understand. Just remember I love you and always will.

Love,

Clare Edwards

She left the note on her dresser and quietly walked down the stair. Clare could still hear her parents screaming like two toddlers over something stupid.

Closing the door to her old house, Clare left it behind her. She figured she'd stop by Eli's to say good-bye without him realizing it.

Well, good bye old life... Hello, new one.

A/n: So how was that? Short, I know, but these chapters will get longer. I promise. So, REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW ! and thank you to those who did for chapter 1 (:
