Fiona got really lucky. According to the doctor on campus, the lacerations were not deep slashes to the bone, but rather minor incisions. After a few days of antibiotic treatment and rest, she was back at VP with her entire right side bandaged up. Meanwhile, Declan was happy and living it up. Still on track, when he wasn't studying and attending classes, he was with girls. Unbeknownst to everyone, Declan had a secret hot tub in his room where was chilling with a couple of girls. "Declan, can you massage my shoulders?"
"Sure." Such were the requests of the ladies that were at his side. One particular night, he was watching TV on the wide screen he had installed just above the tub, which was extra foamy because of the company. Declan and this new girl were making out when a voice could be heard calling his name. "DECLAN!"
"Gosh, what does she want now?" He exits the tub and eventually out of his room with his robe on. "Its almost midnight Fi, what is it and what are you doing with my Dom?"
"This isn't your Dom - -"
"Whatever, what do you want, I have company waiting for me." Fiona was on the verge of tears, which told Declan that there was a pressing issue at hand. "Talk to me Fi, I don't want you to cry."
"Its Bobby; he… hurt me badly." Declan had a quizzical look on his face. "Be careful about what you are saying because you have - -"
"I'M NOT LYING, HE NEARLY SENT ME TO THE HOSPITAL."
"Are you serious?" Fiona started unzipping her sweater and revealed her bandages, which made Declan turn away and narrow his eyes in white anger. "Why did he do this to you?"
"I don't know why, but he is a monster. He expects me to be perfect, but it is okay for HIM to be out of line. He is an abuser and a monster." Fiona hugs her brother, telling him that she no longer feels safe. "Not to worry Fi, I'll talk to Bobby and see what his problem is." Declan didn't have to wait long. A few days later he finds Bobby walking in the same direction and angrily calls his name.
In all things in life, there are stages. Relationships are no different, hence E-Clare being in the honeymoon stage; well since they had been official for a while, they were nearing the end of that stage. The next stage was in effect when Eli drove Clare to school one day and Clare was waiting for a kiss on the lips but instead got one on the cheek. "You, um, missed your spot - -"
"Oh yeah sorry." Eli kissed Clare on the lips this time, but it was rushed; no extra seconds to touch foreheads and no extra seconds to signify the tenderness. Assuming that Eli woke up grumpy, Clare let it go. Clare waited for her man at their customary spot; he was nowhere to be found. He wasn't in class either after lunch, which was puzzling because he usually was there before the teacher. Once again Clare thought little of it, likely assuming that Eli had stuff to do He most definitely had something to do, stuff Clare would shockingly find out later.

"So this is where you've been? Ditching school for the RAVINE!"
"I've been at school, I was in class everyday since my absence."
"That's not the point," Clare retorted, "you've been avoiding me and quite frankly, its beginning to worry me." Eli grabbed hold of Clare, who had an intense look in her eyes. Those eyes soon fluttered when they sat atop the table and Eli bearhugged Clare from behind, which caused her to laugh and blush at the same time. They were moving around so much that they nearly fell off the table. Eli had Clare playfully pinned down and after some staring, he started kissing her and they went farther than before. Some random guy shouted that the van had a purpose, but Eli flipped him off in the middle of his snogging, which shut the random guy up. "Whoa - -" Eli pulled back as Clare caught her breath. He didn't exactly get to home plate, but Eli managed to move Clare's V-neck sweater a couple of inches. "Its good to know that you have limits." Clare folded her arms, but Eli assured her that wasn't going to turn the corner and sprint. It was a welcome relief, but she still wanted to know why he had been avoiding her. "We have been honeymooning for a while; I was afraid that we would lose our spark - -"
"That's not going to happen." Clare grabbed Eli's hand again, assuring him that they have something special brewing. "The way we feel about each other… who knows where this could go."
"How - -"
"Hmm?"
"How did I get so lucky?" They spent the remainder of their free time cuddling in each others arms.
"Damnit Jenna AGAIN?" KC was irritated because Jenna went through his stuff again. "I'm sorry, I-I don't know what came over me." KC was concerned because there have been repeated incident involving Jenna and his phone. The first few times were pretty secretive, but the last couple of instances were very obvious. "You have some issues that you need to get checked out." Jenna told him that she was fine, talking about the diet pills that had some weird side effects. "You don't need to take those pills. While I agree that they carry some pretty nasty side effects, Jenna you are fine. You have a great body and you are beautiful."
"You words are really comforting… thank you." Jenna kissed KC, who spun around and put his arms around her. "KC let go ! I'm fat - -"
"No you're not - -"
"Really, let go - -"
"You have sexy obliques - -"
"FOR GODS SAKE, GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!" Jenna pushed KC off her and he hit the ground hard. "Oh my God KC, I'm sorry - -"
"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME, you're freaking me out." KC barked at Jenna to throw away the pills because they were making her extremely moody. "I can't, how am I supposed to get rid of the rolls?"
"Gee I don't know, eat better and go hiking?" KC stormed away, away from the girl who doesn't know her own secret.

Kenna nearing their end? E-Clare shared a tender moment, but is there trouble on the horizon for them? Next chapter: last draw for Kenna, heartbreak for Clare, and Declan's boiling point.
A/N= Damn, there was some interesting developments this chapter. Seeing as that was the 4th chapter, I plan on posting four more chapters for this fic. I also will add some extras, such as below.
*** Halfway Point: Clareification ***
Clare took time out of her busy life to write in her diary. The following is her most recent entry.
Dear Diary:
School is getting really busy, what with taking all advanced classes, Yearbook Club, friends, and family. I'm blessed that I have a plan to deal with everything because all the above have much demand of my time. It can be tiring, but its worth it because I have a rock that keeps me focused. I was never like this before, what with devoting the majority of some afternoons to writing fanfiction. With the new year, there are new responsibilities and expectations. I'm very blessed to have excellent time management skills. I reiterate that if it wasn't for my rock, Eli, I'm not sure if I would be able to handle everything as well as I have been. He's so… UGH you know! He makes me laugh, he makes me smile and he's been making me very happy. Could this be the foundations for me eventually saying the "L" word?
A/N= So that was Clare's diary entry. The idea of doing extras for select chapters came to me as I was writing this particular chapter. Its looking like I'll write two more halfway points. What say you about them?
