I do not own degrassi
Clare's POV
I was back in the dark place that numbed everything. I was confused but happy I didn't have to feel that mind-blowing pain anymore.
What happened to me?
I couldn't remember anything. The last thing I remembered was . . . was . . . oh . . . my mom was talking about regrets and for some reason I left. But why did I leave and how did I end up in so much pain . . .?
Eli's POV
The first person I called was Clare's mom. She needed to know what was going on with her daughter.
"Hello?"
"It's Eli, again . . ." I was sobbing, and she heard me.
"What's wrong Eli? Clare's not them yet." She had worry in her voice.
"Clare's . . . There's been an accident."
"What do you mean?" she replied slowly.
"I was lo-ooking for Cl-Clare . . . when I spotted her bike on the road." I took a deep breath. "I found her and she had been hit by a car. She's o the way to the hospital now."
I could hear in tears on the other line. "I'm on way." And then she hung up.
I was half-way to the hospital by now and the rain had finally stopped. I dialed Adam's number and told him that Clare had been in an accident. His mom agreed to take him to the hospital.
I inhaled deeply trying to calm down. But the way she looked when I found her. So fragile and broken . . . and so much blood . . . I shook my head, trying to shake the image way. She's going to be fine. She has to be. She's not Julia. I kept repeating to my self trying to convince myself to believe in those words. I couldn't lose her too. She was too important.
I finally made it to the hospital a few minutes later, feeling like years rather than minutes. I ran into the hospital. Clare's mom was already there, speaking with the doctor. I got to her as they were finished talking.
"She'll be able to take visitors in an hour, but we don't know when she'll wake up." And with that, the doctor walked away.
I looked at Clare's mom and asked "What'd her say! Is she going to be all right?"
She turned to me with tears in her eyes. "He said she suffered from internal bleeding and she hit her head. They don't know if that caused any damage thought. They won't know until she wakes up. She's covered in bruises and had a cracked rib. They say she's really lucky she only has a little damage. But . . ." she sobbed "They aren't entirely sure if she'll wake up.'
At that I sucked in my breath. We sat in silence. A few minutes later, Adam showed up. "How's Clare?" He immediately demanded.
"She should be fine. But she has a head injury and . . . and . . ." I was sobbing.
Adam shot me a look. Clare's mom just looked straight ahead. "What!" Adam almost yelled at me.
"Helen!" I looked up tot see Clare's dad running towards us. "What happened?"
Clare's mom got up slowly and quietly and motioned for him to follow her. They walked away and sat away from us, out of our hearing range.
Adam turned back to me. "What is wrong with Clare?"
I took a deep breath. "They don't know when . . . or even if . . . she's going to wake up."
Adam sat down and they sat in silence. We looked up tot see Clare's parents sleeping . . . separated by a few seats I between each other. "How can they be sleeping when their daughter could be . . . could be . . ." I began to cry again.
"Clare and I were talking and she said something about how her parents haven't been sleeping much due to all the divorce planning."
I sighed. "I know . . . I'm just upset. This is my entire fault. I was just trying to respect her beliefs even she herself was not."
Adam was obviously confused. "Wait . . . What are you talking about?"
I told Adam what happened. I had finally stopped crying but I could feel the aura of depression around me.
It was time to tell Clare and her parents got up. Only 2 at a time were aloud. After another 20 minutes of silence, her parents walked out with fresh tears in their eyes. Her dad walked out quickly while her mom walked towards us.
"Boys? We need to go, but we don't want her left alone. She always talks about you 2. You 2 are her best friends. Can you guys stay with her till we return?"
I couldn't understand why they were leaving her. She could wake up any time and they wouldn't stay! I was angry but calmed by the fact that I could stay with Clare longer this way.
When I wasn't saying anything, Adam spoke up. "Yeah, that's fine. We'll stay as long as permitted."
She smiled sadly at him. "Thank you. I know we shouldn't be leaving, but her father and I are gin got call Darcy and have her come home as a surprise for Clare. We were planning on next month, but now would probably be the best time . . ." She sobbed as she walked out of the hospital. When she had said her sister was coming, all my anger diminished because I knew how much Clare missed her sister.
Sorry this took so long to get up. I worked 4 to 10 the last 2 days so I had to try and type it at lunch at school…took 2 days but I sent it to my gaggle (my schools email) and was able to put it up tonight.
