"You know I never wanted to hurt you." Eli said looking sad

"But we are both smart enough to realize that this, us fighting all the time isn't healthy." Clare was on the verge of tears

"I don't want to break up." he said

"Look for now, lets just go on a break. Decide what we are gonna do next." Clare looked down

"Ok. Just remember I love you." he said

"I know. I love you too." and he walked away. She held back tears. She walked and tried not cry. She knew she wouldn't cry in front of people. So she walked into the Dot and sat down.

"What can I get you?" the new server asked

"Um chocolate milkshake ." she was shocked her voice worked that much. \

"Ok. Be right back." she smiled at Clare who couldn't get her mouth to show even a little glimpse of happiness. She knew this was the right thing to do, but why did it have to hurt so bad?

…...

"I still can't believe it." KC was fuming

"Well Bianca is popular with the guys." Drew said

"I just need to clear my mind. Get this slut out of it." KC said then he looked inside the Dot. He saw Clare sitting by herself, in a depressed state. "You know what I will catch up with you later."

"Um ok." Drew gave KC a weird look. And walked away. He walked into the Dot and saw the lady bringing over Clare's milkshake and told her he would bring it over

"Thanks." Clare didn't even look up

"Your welcome." Clare recognized the voice and saw KC's smile "KC, what are you doing here?" she looked skeptical

"I was just in the neighbor hood, bored out of my mine, and thought I would see how you were doing." he explained

"What no Bianca?" Clare asked

"Nope. No hearse man?"
"Nope." Clare looked down then looked up "You first."
"Bianca cheated on me." he said "I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Bianca is one of the hottest girls at school." Kc was getting and again

"Not to mention she did come on to Drew while he was dating Alli and didn't care." Clare pointed out

"Yeah. I know" he admitted

"Well then she isn't good enough for you." Clare told him

"Thanks mom." he joked

"Ha ha. Very funny." Clare smiled.

"So your turn."
"Eli and I have been fighting about a lot of stuff lately and I just thought we needed a break." Clare admitted. "I came here because I know I can't cry in front of people."

"Then why don't we go somewhere you can cry?" KC suggested

"Ok." Clare got up with him, and they walked to the park they sat down on the nearest bench

"Ok, let the water works begin." KC told her

"I just don't get it. Its like I am not meant to be happy." Clare started

"What makes you think that?" KC asked

"Every time I fall for a guy, something comes between us." Clare looked at him "I mean us it was.." before she could finish

"Jenna?" KC finished for her

"Yeah. And with Eli, I mean we fight all the time. I mean something small will set either one of us off and we end up fighting. I hate it. I guess that is what I get for falling for guys who are wrong for me." Clare started to cry

"Hey, shh" KC put his arm around her "Do you want to be with him?" KC asked her

"Yes. But not like this. Not with us fighting all the time."

"Then have faith that if its meant to be you guys will work it out." He smiled at her. Clare had forgotten how nice KC's smiles were

"You really feel that?" her eyes sparkled in the moonlight

"Yeah. Look at us." he said "We were meant to be friends and look, no matter how much I screwed up you still want to talk to me." he joked and Clare laughed

"I will always want to talk to you." Clare promised

"Yeah?" he liked that

"Yes, as long as you want to talk to me."

"Of course. Just things didn't work out with us as a couple doesn't mean I don't want you in my life." he pulled her closer to him in a hug

"I missed you K." Clare told him

"You know what I missed?"

"What?"
"I miss you calling me K. No one has called me that but you." Clare smiled.

"God I gotta get home."

"I will walk you." he told her

Wow, thanks." they walked in silence until they reached Clare's house. "Thanks for the talk. I needed it." Clare told him

"Anytime." she began to walk to up and KC said "You know as sucky as a break up is one good thing has come out of this"
"What;s that?"
"I got my best friend back." KC smiled, and Clare couldn't help but smile

"Same. Good night KC."

"Night Clare. Sweet dreams." he felt good. Something about being around Clare always made him feel good.

Clare was actual happy. Maybe she shouldn't be cause of her break up with Eli but she had a hard time being upset anymore. Maybe it was the faith that things would work out, maybe it was her talk with KC or maybe it was Kc himself. It wouldn't be first time he helped her when she needed him. Whatever the reason was, Clare went to bed happy.
