OMG! I completely blanked. I am so sorry! For this mishap I will upload the next chapter Sunday as soon as I get back. Alright, sorry again. READ, REVIEW, and ENJOY!

Clare sat staring out the window watching the snow fall as Jake drove Betsy to Alli's. They sat in silence for the last twenty minutes. Didn't talk getting ready, nor in the car. Jake continued to glance over every now and then seeing her stay the same.

"You shouldn't have called him," Jake said, keeping his eyes on the road.

Clare sat up, more confused than she already was. "And why is that?"

"You could have caused more drama than there already is." He pulled the car in park in front of Alli's building.

Clare slammed the door. "More drama? How could I possibly cause anymore more drama?"

"You know Eli! He could act out from you calling him. He might think he has a chance to get you back." Clare looked at him with serious eyes. "Or not get you back…" Clare listened to the sincerity in his voice. She didn't know what to say and continued walking up the stairs to Alli's apartment. "C'mon Clare. We both know we have no idea what Eli is thinking right now. Who knows how he's acting over just a stupid phone call?"

"Just drop it!" Clare yelled as Alli opened the door.

"Drop what?" Alli asked.

Clare walked passed her but Jake had no problem answering. "She called Eli this morning."

"You what? Clare what's the matter with you?" Alli stormed up to Clare.

"I don't know. Maybe that I just got my heart broken less than two days ago! And now I have to face him all day for my best friend's wedding, that I've been stressed out planning for the last six months! So excuse me if I'm a little confused and just felt like making a god damn phone call!" Clare screeched, which made Jake and Alli go wide eyed watching her freak.

"Clare…" Alli stepped forward ready to comfort her.

"No." She wiped her dry eyes, not knowing if she was crying or not. "This is your day Alli. I am not going to be the bitch that ruins it. Now let's get your stuff and head off to your wedding!" Alli and Jake exchanged concerned looks.

The breathing of the three was the only sound to corrupt the room. "Alright.." Jake clapped as he interrupted the silence, "Let's get Alli to her wedding."

"Yeah, thanks. Let me grab my dress and make-up box and we can leave." Alli skipped to her bedroom to get the essentials.

Clare, leaned against the kitchen counter playing with the charm Eli got her for her bracelet. A tiny silver book, she twirled around her fingers. Jake walked up to the other side of the counter to face her. "I know you miss him."

She looked up at his heartfelt eyes that made her sick to her stomach. "How can you miss someone who hurt you so bad?"

"Because you still love him." She just glared at him. "Clare, it's not bad to still be in love with him after everything that happened. If you loved them once you'll never stop. I mean, I still love you, but we wouldn't have lasted anyway. But it doesn't stop that I still love you."

"You really meant that?"

"I gave you up so my best friend could be with you. I'll admit it took me a while to get over you. But then, I went to Paris and met Wanda."

Clare's lip quivered, she had to bite it to keep from looking as shaken as she was. "You…You still had feelings for me after we broke up?"

"Of course."

"I'm so sorry. Even though I tried not to be clingy, I still pretty much rubbed my relationship in your face. I mean, I knew I still had feelings for you. But I was so blinded to realize I could have been hurting…" she mumbled the end.

"You weren't hurting me."

Alli came trotting out holding a bundle of stuff in her arms. "Alright! Let's go!"

Jake let out a chuckle. "Will we be able to hold all that in Betsy?"

"We'll have to go Tetris on the back, but if I take the hump, we'll be fine," Clare reassured. "Now c'mon. We've got a wedding to go to!" Her chipper voice was back, and it put a smile on Alli's face.

"Hey man, are you alright? You've been quiet all morning," Adam asked Eli as he sat on the couch, too lazy to even button up his shirt all the way.

"Clare called me this morning," Eli said in a mellow tone.

Adam stared at his blank face. "Is that…a…bad thing?"

"I don't know."

"What did she say?"

"She said she didn't hate me after she wouldn't talk to me, and I just blabbered like an idiot." He got up letting his bow tie lay around his neck, untied, and slip on his winter coat. "C'mon, enough about me. Let's get you to your wedding." He gathered his jacket, the box of corsages, and headed out the door.

Adam followed behind him. "Dude. What are you thinking right now?"

"I'm thinking I need to get you to the hotel." They got to Morty and was loading up the back with the last couple things.

"No. About Clare!"

"Will you just get in?" Eli yelped, climbing into the hearse.

Adam did too, however continued to talk. "What do you think after this? Are you happy she called? Mad? Tell me!"

"Stop trying to talk me off a ledge!" Eli started driving, with a tight grip on the wheel, his anger building up.

"Talk to me!"

"I'm confused! Why she would want to talk to me after what I did, I have no idea! I fucked up and now she's like…taunting me." He took a tight turn at a stop sign, which started to freak Adam out. "Like she wants me to suffer knowing how much I hurt her. She doesn't deserve me. What did she ever do wrong?"

"Eli?" Adam's worried voice managed to speak a word.

"I got fucking shot for her by her psycho ex!" He screamed.

"ELI!" Adam yelled out.

Clare adjusted Alli's bun, leaning down and hugging her best friend. "I can't believe you're getting married today." They each glanced over at the strapless white dress with a lacey exterior against the satin that they picked out together. "You're going to need to get dressed soon."

"Thank you Clare. You've been so great during all of this. The late night calls, the dragging you along to every appointment. You truly are my best friend." They found themselves in a loving hug, doing their bests not to mess up any of their hair and make-up. Until a knock at the door interrupted them.

Alli walked over to admire her dress as Clare went to check who it was. She cracked it open, in case it was Adam trying to see Alli. But instead it was Jake, whispering, "We need to talk."

She looked back at Alli in moment of jovial, with a smile on her face and holding her dress against her body in the mirror. She squeezed herself out, noticing Drew standing behind him with a troubled look on his face. "What's the matter?"

"Adam's not here…" Jake stated.

Clare's eyes amplified with shock. She glimpsed back at the shut door before whispering in an irate tone, "What do you mean Adam's not here?"

"Him and Eli haven't showed up," Jake said.

Drew stepped forward with his phone in his hand. "And neither of them are picking up."

Clare's breathing became heavy, taking deep breathes as Drew and Jake led her over to a couch nearby. Jake stroked her back, as Drew got up to try and call them again. "This isn't happening…" Clare mumbled under her breath.

Where could Eli and Adam be? Let me know your predictions in the reviews and tell me what you think! :D

And sorry it's a couple of hours late. I have no idea what happened. I'm such a space case. Well, Degrassi started this week. Who else is fucking excited for this season? Well see you Sunday! I promise! I'll leave reminders everywhere! Love you all! :*(^_^) ~Eli
