Clare POV:
I seen that tear roll down his cheek. I didn't care if he THOUGHT he killed his girlfriend because it wasn't his fault at all. I felt de'ja vu rememberng what I had to go through when I was with KC, him thinking I would judge him for what he had done in his past.

"You know Eli," I said, "my ex kept a secret for the longest time. He lived in a group home because of all the stuff he did before he came to Degrassi. Someome spread it around school when they found out, so after I found out he thought I was going to judge him for the person he was in his past and not the person he was. But it worked out."
"We fought all the time, until one night that i didn't care and we were only fighting because of we were afraid of what might have happened if we stopped. I cared about the person he is now not the person he was. Its the same with you and me," I went on, "I don't care what happened then but what happens now, like a new chapter in your life."

Eli POV:
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. She didn't even care what I blamed myself for. I hugged her as tight as possible.

I've finally figured out that telling the truth could really make thing better. I dipped my head slightly to kiss her lightly, who knew that one soft kiss could hold so much passion. "I like you, alot Clare."

"I like you too Eli," she said. I kissed her again. The truth is always better.
