Some people might be OOC too, and I apologize if they are :D I love you guysss.

Eli's POV:

After Clare got into the hearse, I just started driving. I didn't know where she wanted me to take her, and I barely knew what was going through her mind either. I mean, we're really close but I can't read her mind.

"So, uh, I know you said you don't care where we go, but I would like some specifics would be nice…" I said it in the nicest way possible since she was volatile at the moment.

"Eli, just drive. I never want to go back."

"Well we have school on Monday, so never is going to have to be cut a little short…"

"Wait, you think I'm going back to school?"

Clare's POV

How could he even consider that? Going back to school is the last thing that I want. If I go back to school, that means I have to go home. And I am never going back. I have money saved up and I have a bag, so I should be good.

"Clare, you have to go back eventually. I thought you just wanted to leave for the weekend till you and your parents cooled down or something."

That wasn't going to happen. As soon as I went back, I'd have to choose if I would live with my mom or dad. Then whoever I didn't choose would be mad at me and I would barely see them.

I might even have to move.

So goodbye parents.

Goodbye Degrassi.

And although I love Eli, if he won't go with me…

Goodbye Elijah Goldsworthy.

"Stop the car."

Eli's POV

"Excuse me?"

"Eli, stop the car."

She wasn't planning on leaving…was she? I pulled over so she wouldn't punch me or something.

"Bye Eli." She stepped out of the car and ran.

I got out too and ran after her – too bad it was dark. I ran for as long as I could until I was out of breath, but Clare eluded me. Now she was gone. What if something happened to her? Like what happened to Julia…

What if someone found her and kidnapped her?

Don't think like that, Eli. All I have to do is tell her parents then we can call the police. They'll find her. They have to. She's just a runaway, police find them all the time, right?

I found Morty again and drove to Clare's. I could hear yelling from outside her house, but I rang the doorbell anyway.

"Mr. and Mrs. Edwards…Clare ran away."

"She – she what?" Clare's mom looked devastated.

"She was upset and I thought she just wanted to get away for the weekend, but when she said she never wanted to come back, I told her we couldn't. Then she ran."

"Eli, thank you. If you didn't tell us, we never would have known. Don't worry, we'll take this to the police and get everything straightened out. You can go home now."

How could Mr. Edwards be so calm about this?

Clare's POV

I lost Eli in the darkness. Being the caring boyfriend that he is, by now, he must have told my parents. That means people will be looking for me soon.

Where am I going to go?

There has to be somewhere. I can't just sleep on a park bench though, that's how creepers find teenagers. I could go to a motel? Or something like that. I guess that would work for the night until I figured out my plan.

In our town, there's a motel like every few miles, so I'm bound to find one soon. And it's not that late yet.

I walked for eons. It probably was only about two miles, but still, that's a long walk. Especially when your emotions are all messed up.

How could Eli leave me like that? Especially after my parents basically left me too.

"Uh, so do you want a room or what?" I almost forgot that I already walked into the hotel. The man behind the counter looked like he was in his early twenties.

"Yeah I guess. How much for one night?" He told me all the different rooms and rates. I chose the cheapest one.

"So, you're staying in a motel alone? Isn't that a little odd?"

"I guess, it depends on how you look at it."

"Well here's your key. Room 101. Have a nice stay!"

I found my room. It wasn't too crappy for the price I was paying.

God, I'm so tired. But I cant sleep yet, I need to make my plan. What am I gonna do? Should I buy a bus ticket? Or rent a cab? Where am I going to live? I can't permanently stay in a motel because I don't have that much money.

I have to get a job or something.

Living alone at 15 is going to suck.

It's better than being around traitors though.

Author's Note: So how was it? still not my best, I'm losing my good writing and I apologize. And I also am sorry that I miscalculated the amount of homework that I would have this year. I don't have time to update every day, but now that I'm back into the swing of things, I should be able to update at least every weekend. Keep reading please :D reviews please?
