It Was Worth It In The End
By Jiberty Fan
Chapter 10
Author's Notes: If I owned "Degrassi", Holly J and Declan would be the power couple that they should and deserve to be and Sav would have more to do than just being someone's boyfriend. This chapter is mostly from Declan's point-of-view because I think that we don't get his prospective enough in fanfics or on the actual show. As a writer, I am more concerned with quality opposed to quantity. Thank you to everyone who has read and reviewed this fic or added this fic as a favorite. Declan's thoughts are in Italics. I own nothing. Please read and review.
It was Monday morning and still early or so Declan thought. His cell phone awoke him from the most peaceful sleep that he had in months.
"Declan, are you coming by soon? Otherwise my mother will drive me to school."
I could never get tired of the sound of Holly J's voice.
"Good morning, sweetheart, yes I will be at your apartment soon."
"Good, because if we don't hurry Sav will be doing the announcements and he keeps telling me that we need some theme music to start out the day."
Declan knew that that announcements were important to Holly J and they became important to him as well although he would've happily welcomed and cherished a little more time alone with Holly J before school started.
He got dressed quickly and made sure to grab Holly J's diamond necklace which he rewrapped to give her back just as she requested. Declan wanted Holly J to have the matching earrings but they had not arrived yet but he wanted her to have a symbol of his love to wear now.
As Declan and the driver got to Holly J's apartment this sense of anticipation and happiness went through Declan. He noticed Holly J was closing and locking her apartment door and racing to the car.
"Good morning, Mr. Coyne."
Holly J gave Declan a quick kiss and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Good morning, Miss Sinclair. Do you think we have time for a coffee run before school?"
"I wish we did, Declan, maybe we can go after school."
"You know Holly J; I really wouldn't mind hearing Sav's new Degrassi theme music just once."
"But, I would mind. Did I tell you he dressed up as cupid for Valentine's Day and did the announcements dressed up as cupid?"
Declan tried not to laugh too much at the image that Holly J was describing.
"You couldn't tell Sav that the theme music might be more appropriate for a side project and not for the halls of Degrassi?"
"I was trying to be nice, Declan."
"Holly J, he's not a puppy and since when are you afraid to hurt someone's feelings with the truth?"
"We just need to hurry so that doesn't happen. I want you to have a great first day back at Degrassi and that starts with the announcements and getting your schedule."
Holly J and Declan managed to get to school on time despite the Monday morning rush of traffic. The driver stopped the car right in front of the school.
Declan hesitated as he got out of the car.
"Before we go to school today Holly J, I have something for you."
"You really didn't have to, Declan."
Since they were in a hurry Holly J rushed to open her gift.
It was the diamond necklace that had earlier sent her over the edge, but knowing that Declan really loved and cared about her and only her was something that she failed to see before.
"Can you put the necklace on for me, Declan?"
As Holly J requested Declan put her necklace on and kissed her again when he was done.
"That necklace goes just beautifully with that uniform, although we promised Fiona we would work on getting rid of the school uniforms which we will."
As Declan took Holly J by the hand he also noticed that his grandmother's bracelet was also on her wrist which was exactly where he wanted it to be.
Declan and Holly J noticed some other kids who were also there early and while there were some stares from the other students no one said anything directly until they got into the building.
Chantay was standing nearby and saw the reunited power couple holding hands.
"Declan, Holly J, can I get an interview for the Anti-Grapevine?"
"It's not big deal, Chantay. I'm not going to kiss and tell."
"You're here, Declan at school and in a uniform which tells me it is a big deal and you are ever the gentleman, I respect that. Welcome back to Degrassi."
"I take it she's on team Declan and not on team Sav. She could also help us with the school uniforms issue, that's what we can talk about in our interview. People here listen to Chantay regardless of her interview style." Declan gave Holly J a warm smile and a quick if forbidden kiss.
Holly J broke the kiss looked at me with a strange look as everyone knew a kiss between students in the school building could mean big trouble for both of us. Before Holly J could begin to scold me I spoke.
"I wanted my goodbye kiss, Holly J, that's all, nothing else. I'll see you at lunch time." Declan looked so innocent with his blue eyes pleading for mercy and forgiveness that Holly J didn't even bother to argue which was exactly what he was hoping for.
What Principal Simpson doesn't see won't hurt him; at least that's my motto. A great welcome back to Degrassi it has been so far indeed.
