Adam's POV
Adam left the cabin silently to avoid all the drama, deciding that finding Imogen would be a better task than listening to angry teenagers. Sighing, Adam started for the forest assuming Imogen must be frolicking in the woods. He and Imogen weren't a couple, but they had mutual friends who invited them both to Jake's cabin. Since all the couples shared rooms, of course they put the two single people together in their own 'forever alone' club. Whatever. Adam didn't mind Imogen; she was entertaining at least.
Eli and Bianca's angry voices were drowning out as he neared further and further into the woods. He heard movement in the trees. Adam stopped and turned where he heard the noise.
"Hello? Imogen?" As Adam searched the brush for any sign of her, he heard Imogen's voice echoing throughout the vast of trees.
"BANZAI!" Startled, Adam looked up above and saw Imogen swinging on a vine. Giggling, she let go and landed gracefully beside him. "Hello Adam Torres."
"What the-?" Was all he could get out, followed by an exasperated laugh.
Imogen Moreno truly danced to the beat of a different drum.
Adam stood in the forest smiling, highly amused at what he just witnessed. "So now that you got that out of your system, how about we go back towards the cabin?"
"Fiiine..."
Imogen pouted and started to walk back towards the cabin, Adam following closely behind. He couldn't help but think how crazy she must have been as a child. Poor Moreno parents. He shook his head as they walked inside to the drama-filled cabin.
"So every time we messed around since graduation, I bet Saint Fucking Clare was on your mind!" Bianca pushed Eli into a lamp in the living room, blocking Adam and Imogen to walk any further into the cabin.
"Wasn't she?" Bianca had Eli cornered.
Eli shot an apologetic look to Adam and Imogen's direction and sighed. "Bianca, Clare and I- we were drunk! It didn't mean anything. Please calm down."
"Calm down? Calm down? Eli, I thought you were different! You know the relationship track record I have, but now I see you're JUST like the others." She shook her head, tears forming in her eyes.
Adam's heart dropped.
Bianca and him had a rough start, but she was like family to Adam now, even if she wasn't dating his brother, Drew anymore. Adam slowly sighed as he witnessed his best friend, Eli get yelled at. Although Bianca was crying, he couldn't help but see Eli's side too. Eli and Clare had history. Hell, they had chemistry too. Adam saw it first hand during their English assignment in grade 10. Suppressing an eye roll like the first time Clare and Eli kissed, Adam drifted back into reality.
A concerned looking Imogen rested a hand on Bianca's shoulder. "Come on Bee. Let's talk." Adam and Eli stood in the living room and exchanged looks at each other as the two girls left the room.
Eli sighed and sat on the couch looking at his best friend for advice. "Dude, what am I going to do?"
Adam gave a pitiful shrug and sighed as a thought crossed his mind; If he were to ever have a chance to be with someone, he knew he could give so much. It seems everyone he knew took their relationships for granted.

Feeling queasy, Clare brought the cup of water to her lips as she sat silently alone in her and Jake's room. She felt guilty. For vomiting on Bianca, cheating on Jake, and especially on her purity pledge. She shut her eyes tight trying to recall that night at graduation.
Everyone was drinking. It was graduation for crying out loud! A celebration for the milestone of their whole high school career. She was rather annoyed that Jake decided to take a carpenter job instead of enjoying their night with their friends as high school grads. Although to be fair, Clare definitely didn't let Jake bring her down that night. Perhaps that's why she accepted that beer from Eli. It was the first time in her life that she ever tasted an alcoholic beverage.
Clare cupped her water tightly as she recalled the memory of grad night, making a sour face after tasting that first beer. She felt her face form a smile as she imagined Eli's face smirking at her after he downed his drink with ease.
Clare sat up quickly in the small cabin room, shaking her head hoping the following memories would just stop flooding her brain.
They were laughing a lot that night.
She looked up at him smiling just like old times. "Bullfrog and Cece said I could stay over anytime I wanted IF you recall." She poked him in the chest drunkenly, letting her finger linger there and trace imaginary circles on his thin black v-neck.
"Come on Clare, you know you wouldn't have gone through with it even if I did let you in the house. Eli smiled at Clare as she hung on him. She could hardly containing her laughter, let alone the liquid in her party cup.
"If you say so..." Clare knew what she was doing was wrong that night. She was with Jake and she should have been happy, but for the first time in her life she felt free. Like she could do anything, and if she was being honest with herself, she just might have been a little afraid this was her last night that she would see Eli Goldsworthy, now that their Degrassi days were behind them.
The proceedings of the rest of the night were quite a blur. Clare could recall vivid memories like the touch of his skin against her's as he kissed her in the dark room, but she couldn't search her brain on how they got there in the first place. She drank so much that night and she didn't pace herself at all. But his charm! The way he looked at her on the balcony like she was the only girl in the world. For all she knew that night, she was. Clare was completely oblivious to any other person at that party. All she knew was she couldn't say no.
Clare set the cup of water down fiercely and grabbed a pillow from the cabin bed, screaming into it until she was left breathless and panting for air. She did a mental facepalm. Who knew having sex could get you pregnant?
"Stupid Clare. Stupid." She paced the cabin room as she held on tightly to the pillow. She gulped at the next thought that crossed her mind.
There's possibly a living being inside her right now.
"I need to get a pregnancy test. I need to know for sure..." Tears burned her vision. It was selfish to cry. She did this to herself. Still, the tears flowed mercilessly as she was left alone with her worried thoughts. Alone.
All alone.
