Chapter 2:No Problem

No One's POV

Clare Edwards couldn't sleep last night, no matter how much she tried, she just couldn't. The haunting of the previous events still haunted her, she could tell no one. I mean, her dad didn't mean to hi+ her right? It was all a freak accident? Clare looked at her clock again and it was 7:00. Time to go to school.

Clare's POV

I went to take a shower, but as I paused, I looked in the mirror. What reflected wasn't the me I knew. It was a different girl. The Clare Edwards I knew wanted to be fearless and different this year, prove everyone wrong. But the girl in the reflection...she looked scared, hopeless, and confused. I took a look at the bruise and it wasn't that bad.. I just needed to add foundation. After taking a long hot shower, I put on clothes and some foundation, I rushed downstairs to ask my mom for a ride...I didn't want to talk to my dad.

"Mom, can you give me a ride?" I said softly.

Mom looked up at me with sadness and fear in her eyes, I could tell she didn't know where it all went wrong too.

"Sure sweetie" Mrs. Edwards said just as softly

We got into the car, and there was silence. It was odd because sometimes my mom and I talk...how things have changed. We got to Degrassi and as I was about to get out of the car, she pulled on my arm and said,

"What happened last night...was a mistake. Your father didn't mean to do that to you or me. He appologized and Clare, I promise you that it will NEVER happen again."

All I did was nod and got out of the car. That's what she said yesterday too. My mom shouldn't make promises she can't keep. I was walking to my locker when someone tapped me on the shoulder, and I literally jumped in the air. Then I heard a laugh. His laugh.

"You should have seen your face!" The mystery person said while laughing

"Very funny Eli.." I said softly

Eli gave me a worried look and said,

"Everything alright Clare ?"

"Yeah, I'm just tired this morning and my parents are still fighting. Can't sleep."

Techincally I told him the truth, my parents were fighting...but they took their fighting to a whole other level. I wish I could tell him the truth..but maybe my dad was sincere with his apology. Maybe he does mean sorry and he didn't mean it. Why worry over something that isn't even a problem?
