Chapter 8: Party or no Party?
CLARES POV:
We came back from shopping. I walk into the kitchen and see a note on the counter.
Dear Clare,
Your dad and I are going on vacation for a while. Darcy will be staying with you. We will be back in a couple of weeks. We left you a bunch of money for food and groceries. I'm sorry we left sort of unexpectedly. Don't forget about your doctor's appointment on Saturday morning. Don't forget to make new one for next time too. If you need anything you can always call mine or your father's cell.
Love, mom and dad. Of course, they were going away.
"Everything ok?" Alli asks walking into the kitchen with Chloe and Fi.
"Yeah, parents are going away for a couple of weeks." I say rolling my eyes at how pathetic my parents are. No warning, no ANYTHING!
"Oh, does that mean I can throw a party?"
"No, but that doesn't mean I can't throw one."
"Why you but not me?"
"It's my house Al!" I say she rolls her eyes.
"Fine, just promise me you will have at least one party."
"I'm not sure, you know with me being pregnant and my parents not being-," she cut me off.
"Yes, but Darcy would allow us to have a party!" I finally caved.
"Fine! I will talk to Darcy about it!" I say she squealed. I decided to call Darcy.
"Hey Clare, Chloe and I have to leave." I give Fi a hug and say goodbye to Chloe. I dialed Darcy's number.
"Hello?"
"Hey Darce, I was wondering when you were coming?"
"Oh, I will be over in about an hour."
"Ok, so see you later?"
"Yep, bye sis, see you soon."
"See you later!" I hung up. Just then Alli walked in the kitchen.
"When is Darcy coming over? Do you want to have a girl's night? It has definitely been a while since we had one of those!"
"Sure, that sounds good, Darcy will be here in about an hour, so do you want to walk to your house and get your stuff?"
"Sounds good, but are you sure you should walk that much?"
"Yes, it will be good for me to get a little exercise anyways."
"Ok." Alli gets up and grabs her purse. "Let's go, before Darcy gets here!"
"I'm coming!" I yell from the kitchen. Alli opens the door and we start to walk to her house. I wasn't paying attention when I bump in to someone.
"Oh, I'm so sor-WAIT MIA?"
"CLARE EDWARS? Oh my gosh, how are you? Have you heard from Darcy?"
"Well, actually Darcy is home, she just came about a month ago."
"Wow! Well I got to go; hopefully I will see you around!"
"Yep, see you around Mia." We start to walk to Allis house again. We get to Allis house and her parents aren't home.
"Better leave them a note so they don't worry!" She grabs a pad and writes them a quick note. We go upstairs and grab her stuff. She packed a bunch of useless stuff. WAY more than enough stuff for only one night. Then again, Alli always has a lot of stuff with her.
"I'm ready." She says carrying her bag downstairs.
"Well then, let's get going!" We walk out of the house. When we get back to my house, I see that Darcy hasn't gotten here yet. My phone buzzes, and I see that I got a text from Fi
Hey Clare, want to have a sleepover at the condo?
"Hey Al, do you want to sleep at Fi's condo instead?"
"Sure, if it's ok with Darcy" I text Fi back: Sure, can Alli come too?
Of course she can! The more the better!
Ok, I just have to tell my sister.
Ok, so see you guys later?
Yep, see you later! After I send her the text Darcy walks in.
"Hey sis, I'm here!"
"Hey Darce, can I sleep at Fiona's house tonight?"
"Yeah."
"Thanks, Alli and I will be leaving as soon as I get my stuff ready." I say walking up the stairs and Alli is right behind me. I open the door to my room. I go over to my closet and grab my bag. I threw a pair of pajamas and a pair of clothes in my bag. I pick up my bag, and walk downstairs with Alli.
"We are leaving now Darcy, see you later!"
"Ok sis, if you need me just call!"
"Ok, bye!" Alli and I walk out the door, and she texted Fi that we were on our way. After about five minutes of walking, we get to Fi's condo. Since I go there so much, I just walk in. I see Fi, Chloe, and Dec sitting on the couch. I guess this is where he is staying while he is in town. They all look up from whatever they were doing.
"Hey Prop Master Clare!"
"Hey Dec, hey Fi, Hi Chloe." I say walking into the kitchen. I grab water for me and Alli. I throw Alli the bottle.
"Thanks Clare."
"No problem Al." After a while of just hanging out with everyone, Fi spoke up.
"How about we play truth or dare?"
"Sure." We all say at once
"Well since it was my idea, I will go first." Fi says, "Clare, truth or dare?"
"Truth." I say plainly
"Do you still write Fortnight fiction." I spit my water out and Alli starts laughing.
"NOO, of course not! I stopped after what happened."
"Sure yeah, whatever." Alli says.
"Alli truth or dare?" I say turning to face her
"Dare."
"I dare you to send those pictures to D-,"
"TRUTH TRUTH TRUTH."
"Sorry Alli you already said dare." Declan said to her.
"Yeah, well no way I'm sending those pictures to my ex, especially what happened with Bianca's pictures to the whole school."
"Alli, I will give you a different dare."
"Thank you Clare."
"I dare you to make out with Declan."
"Fine, just don't get jealous Clare." She says I rolled my eyes. They start to kiss and then it turns out into a full make out session. Fiona clears her throat. She didn't look to happy about what was going on. After a couple hours of hanging out and stuff we finally decided to go to bed at 12, since I had a doctor's appointment tomorrow. I fell asleep.
*NEXT DAY*
"CLARE DIANE EDWARDS, GET UP!" I hear Alli yell my name. I sit up really fast. "Woah calm down, I just don't want you to miss your doctor's appointment!" I look at the clock and it says 10:37 and my doctor's appointment is at 11:30. I walk downstairs and smell breakfast.
"I made you guys breakfast, do you have time Clare?"
"Yeah, I have like 20 minutes before I have to get home." I sit down, and eat really fast.
"Wow Clare, you ate FAST!"
"Well, I am sort of feeding two people right now." I say after swallowing my food. I look at the clock and it says 10:50.
"Well, Clare and I have to get going, see you at the party!" Alli says and stands up. She grabs both of our bags, and I hug Dec and Fi. After that we leave and start walking home. We walked fast and got home in about 5 minutes.
"Hey sis I'm home, I have to get ready for my doctor's appointment!" No answer. I walk into the kitchen and see a note.
Clare,
Went shopping for food and stuff, hopefully baby daddy isn't busy so he can take you to your doctor's appointment. Good luck, and see you when you get home, and text me if anything changes.
Love, Darcy.
I decide to text Eli.
Want to take me to my appointment? - Clare
Sure, be there in 15- Eli
Ok, see you soon- Clare. I decide to get ready for my appointment. I didn't have time to shower, so I just did my hair my makeup and got dressed. I look at the clock, it said 11:08. I walk downstairs and turn on the T.V. I started to watch some weird show. The door opened and Eli walked in.
"Ready Blue eyes?"
"Yep, let's get going!" I say and we walk out the door. We get into Morty, and leave. The ride was silent. It only took like 5 minutes to get there so it was 11:25. I am really wondering why my parents went without any say.
"Ready to go?" Eli says taking me out of my thought.
"Ready!" I tell him with a smile. We walk into the office. It took about 5 minutes until the nurse came out.
"Clare Edwards?" I stand up. My hand still in Elis, we walk into the office together.
"Hi Clare, how are you feeling?" Doctor Fee asks me as he walks into the office.
"Good, I haven't gotten morning sickness in a while now."
"Well, that's good, are you ready?"
"Yep!" I say and he takes out the machine. I lift up my shirt, and he puts the warm, blue gel on my stomach.
"That right there is your baby." He says pointing to the screen. I look at the screen in amazement. I look over at Eli and he is staring at the screen in amazement, just like I was. "So, how many pictures do you want?"
"Ten."
"Ok, I will be right back." Dr. Fee walks out of the room. He came back about a minute later holding 10 pictures in his hand. "There you go, and I will see you next month!" Dr. Fee says.
"Bye Dr. Fee" I say. I sit up and look at Eli. "Ready to go?" I say. He nods. I get up, and we walk out of the room.
"Alli is coming over around 3, so do you want to go to the dot?"
"Sure, I need to give Spin and Peter their pictures of the baby." He smirks sand we go to the dot. We walk in and sit down.
"Hey baby Edwards, what can I get you?"
"Oh hey Spin, just the normal, oh and here." I say handing him the picture from my purse.
"Ok, so regular for Clare, Eli?" Spin says not taking his eyes off the picture.
"Cheese burger and fries and a coke."
"Aright, I will be back with your orders." I smile and he walks away. Just then Peter comes and talks to us.
"Do I get a picture?"I take one out of my purse.
"Of course!" I say handing him a picture.
ELIS POV
Clare seemed to be really happy and excited about this baby. After Peter left Spinner came back with our food and drinks. He placed the food down on the table and walked away. I could definitely tell Clare was excited for Declan's party. Clare and I started to eat and she ate her food pretty quick. I had finished my food a little while after Clare.
"Dessert?" I asked Clare she looked at the clock.1:30. She nodded. She ordered a sundae for us to share. She ate most of the sundae. By the time we were ready to leave, it was 2:00. We get to her house around2:30.
CLARES POV
"I'm home!" I scream.
"Hey sis, how was the appointment?"
"It was good, here." I hand her the picture.
"Awwwe!"
"Ok, well, I'm going to call Alli and tell her I'm home."
"K"
"Bye Blue eyes, what time should I pick you girls up?"
"Around 7." I say and kiss him bye.
"See you then." He says and leaves. I go up stairs and my computer dings. I open it and see a message from Alli.
Tell me when you get home.
I'm home now, so you can come whenever!
Be there in 10! Bye!
Ok, bye, see you in 10! I close my laptop. I walk over to my closet. Seriously! I would never wear any of this stuff to a party. Just then I hear footsteps and Alli appears in the frame of my door holding a bag.
"Can't find any party worthy clothes in your closet?"
"No, help me?"
"Actually, I have a couple dresses that you might like!" She places her bag on my bed. She takes out some dresses, and then she takes out a black dress with hot pink stripes.
"I like that one." She gives it me
"Go try it on." I walk into the bathroom to try it on. It fits perfectly. I walk out the door and Alli squeals.
"IT'S PERFECT!"
