YAY another chapter:D haha enjoy!
After all is said and done will broken souls find their way home? It doesn't seem likely now does it? This is a big world, and people say wounds will heal. Sometimes though, they misinform the victim, because they themselves have yet to feel this pain. A heart is fragile; it's what keeps a person going in more ways than one. In most situations we will encounter on this adventure there will be a decision over heart and mind. Do you follow through with your emotions, or do you think through the outcomes of every move. This love, this life, if you will, plays out a lot like a game of chess. You might think that you have the upper hand, but in one swift motion your king will be dead. The outcome of the game shows how you thought. The dead king shows your lack of decision, your thinking based on impulse. Eli's love had a very similar ending.
He didn't consider Alli's reputation or her wandering eyes. Like most, he works with his heart. If he is angry he yells, if he is happy it shines through, and when he's sad he cries. This can lead to events in which those emotions get the best of him, and he explodes. What happened was almost destined, because of his lack of thought. I take you over now to where a young Eli stands preparing for the next Degrassi party. His wardrobe was normal; black skinny jeans, a black button down shirt, black combat boots, black vest, and a guitar pick necklace. Today wasn't just any old day, it was their one year anniversary. His hearse, Morty, slowly slid out of the driveway, and headed towards Alli's house.
Alli sat in tense silence while she waited for Eli to arrive. This was the night that she would break everything to him. Drew was ready to leave if the secrets stayed, and she couldn't lose him. It was hard for her to fall out of love. Eli was always there for her, and she knew that he loved her more than she thought he ever would. But then there's Drew. He charmed Alli the second that they met. It had been more than a month since everything started. These fires were unintended, but she happened to start them all the same. Alli didn't know much about Clare other than the fact that she was currently the holder of half of Drew's heart, but not for very much longer. With that last thought the doorbell echoed through her house.
Clare's chess game was different. Often times she would over think a situation. In the end her king would also lay dead, but not acting on impulse was what failed her. Her small hand would reach out to move a pawn, but she would glance over the board, and that hand would move. She bottled up her feelings, never breaking down her walls for anyone, even Drew. If she was happy she would crack a small smile, if she was angry she tightened her fists, but never went farther, and if she was sad she would cry in the privacy of her own vacant room. She too was heading towards Alli's for the party, and the scene of two events that will deepen their fires.
The party was now in full swing, and both couples were enjoying themselves. Drew and Alli however, kept waiting for the perfect moment to come clean. When they saw that their partners were talking over by the drinks they knew that it was time. Drew reached down and squeezed Alli's hand letting her know that everything would end up alright. If only that was the case. With each step they took memories filled their heads, clouding their vision, making it harder and harder to take the final leap.
"Eli, Clare, we have something to tell you," Alli's soft voice rang out. The two teens turned toward Drew and Alli, eyeing their hands all the while. "I'm sorry, there is no easy way to do this, but me and Drew are in love, and have been for over a month. We hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive us some day...goodbye." Eli instantly started playing his game of chess, feeling the flames inside growing, and he ran off towards Morty before he did something he would regret. Clare's world on the other hand seemed to stand still. She didn't notice the crowds of people or the loud pop music. Without even a single tear falling down her face, she left.
All night she had been talking to Eli. He was a great guy, and she seemed to be able to know all his feelings just by looking into his emerald eyes. When she got home she let exactly two drops fall from her blue orbs. She wasn't going to let herself cry over another guy. As stars filled the dark Canadian sky, she drifted off to sleep, only remembering Eli. Her fire is only half built up. It's her destiny to finally break . I can't tell you quite how yet, buy in time you will know.
Eli sprinted up the steps of his two story house, slamming the door behind him. In blind rage he ended up throwing the contents of his counter on the floor. As he sighed heavily he fell onto his bed. He thought back to that night and Clare. She seemed like an amazing person, and he enjoyed talking to her. Those thoughts were probably the only thing keeping him sane. By now his inferno was in a permanent high blaze. Without changing he closed his eyes and tried to get away.
In due time you will find out who I am, but in the meantime remember...I am watching.
