Hey guys! Thanks you the reviews, It'd make me even happier if I had some more though! There still 13 & 14 in this chapter, but after this there at their present age. Well as always, Enjoy (:

*Clare POV*

Today's the day. The day Eli leaves. I've dreaded this day every since he told me he was leaving Toronto. I've been crying for the past two days. My parents were getting suspicious, but I couldn't tell them Eli and I had a relationship or they'd kill me. Darcy and Ali have been helping a lot, but it's just not enough. My parents couldn't drive me to the airport to see him leave, because they didn't know about him, so I'm meeting Eli for one last time.

"Clare!" Darcy called from my room.

"Yes?"

"Someone's here for you…" She said gesturing to Eli who was outside my window.

I started to let Eli in while I heard Darcy leave and say "I won't tell mom and dad but hurry." I nodded

"Hey, Clare." He said while hugging me.

"Hi, Eli." I said pecking his cheek.

"Where do you want to go today?" He put his arm around my shoulder and I blushed. I love how he always did this and it always had the same effect on me. I'm really going to miss this. No Clare, happy thoughts.

"Um…Surprise me." I said and we started climbing out the window.

We started walking and talking and I realized we were at the park. "The park?" I asked

"Not just the park, my dear. The same spot we met." He smirked

"You know," I started while taking his hand. "You're not making this easy."

"What you mean?" He said with confusion in his voice.

"You leaving. I'm really going to miss this."

"You say it as if you'll never see me again." He chuckled a little. "Clare, don't worry."

"Eli, were both going to move on, and then it will be awkward between us." I said sniffling a little but trying not to cry in front of him.

"Well how about a promise?" He said while I just stared at him with confusion

"We don't date other people and we wait until I get back. I mean if that's okay with you?" He said

"It's a promise." I said while hugging him tightly.

Maybe I didn't have anything to worry about. Eli always kept his word so I just had to wait until he got back. Two years. Saying it now makes it sound like forever. I just have to deal with it, that's all. And I also had to keep my promise which wouldn't be hard because I was going to Degrassi high school next year and I don't plan on going out with anyone there…

*Later On*

Eli walked me back to my house, well my backyard so I could get in the window. We had a lot of fun. We promised to call each other every week at least and to wait for each other.

"Thanks, Eli. Not just for today, but for everything." I said

He gave me a passionate kiss on the lips. "No problem, Clare."

"Have a good flight. I'll miss you. So much…" I said with tears in my eyes, but promising myself I wouldn't let them fall.

"Thanks. I'll miss you very much too, Clare."

We shared one last hug and I climbed in my window and Eli started to walk away.

"Eli!" I called out. He turned around. "Don't forget the promise!" I called out.

"Wouldn't think of it."

After he was out of sight, I just sat on my bed and cried, not caring about anything else but him.

I know. Kind of short. But things will start getting really dramatic in the coming chapters! Remember to REVIEW! (:
