Hey everyone! Thank you guys so much for all the amazing reviews and the PM's and the tumblr messages and the tweets! I love them guys! Thank you so much! Seriously, when reviewers take the time to do extra things like that, I love it! Thank you so very much! If you don't have my tumblr or twitter, everything is under my author name, and I tweet when I update stories, so that is a way to keep track.
Okay guys, I had a good long cry about Eclare, and I am ready to talk now. So they broke up. I don't hate Clare, and I don't hate Eli. I'm thinking and hoping he gets some mental help, and maybe they get back together! The important thing is to take our minds off it, with big chapters and know Justin Kelly is coming to Degrassi season 11 baby! I was so excited I screamed!
Let's just all keep Eclare spirit alive and be happy Eli is alive. They will work out, because they are meant to be. I know it.
Eli's POV:
"No Eli… I-I want to tell you….about… KC?" She stuttered.
It was 3 A.M. but Clare was ready to talk I guess.
"Oh!" I nodded, "Um okay, now?"
"Yeah, you need to know." She whispered.
I sat us up a little bit and moved so Clare was sitting across from me. She shook her head in discomfort, "N-no, I can't I-I can't look at you when I say this." She stuttered.
"Um okay?" I said, a little confused. She looked really upset. I opened my arms, "Hey, come here, you don't have to look at me if it makes you uncomfortable. It's just you and me here, and whatever you tell me," I press my finger to her lips, then to my heart, "Stays right here, between you and me."
"Thank you." She whispers. Clare tucked her head in my chest, "KC and I, we used to date."
"Okay, that's…cool?" Her arms wrapped around my torso. I ran my hand up and down one of her arms. I hated that she was this uncomfortable.
A/N: New story goes up tonight!
She kept explaining, "Um, I loved him, like a lot I guess…"
"Well I don't love that." I admitted.
She nodded, "Thinking about it, I'm not happy about it either. But I did. He loved me, but to a point… He loved me enough t-to…" Her voice broke.
"To what?" I urged her on. I felt her tears soak through my thin shirt. Crap, I never meant to make her cry.
I pressed one of my hands to the side of her face, gently pulling her tighter to my chest. She clutched my ribs on both sides as she let her sobs increase, "Shhh, Clare it's okay, whatever it is, it's okay."
"E-Eli, I'm sorry." She cried.
"Why are you sorry?" I asked as I pressed a kiss to her hair.
She held me tighter, "I can't- I can't take it b-back…"
I tried kissing her hair, rubbing her arms, whispering words, but nothing was helping her calm down. I wanted to help, but I just didn't know what I could do.
"Sweetheart you have to tell me what happened, okay? I want to help, but I can't if you don't tell me." I coaxed.
She shook her head against my chest, "You can't help me Eli…I want you to, but you can't…"
"Why not?" I whispered.
"Because I-I…" She started, but she stopped.
I placed a soft kiss on her forehead, "Clare, we don't have to talk about it okay? I won't pressure you to tell me, please just don't cry."
She wiped her eye with her hand, "M-maybe in the morning?"
I smiled and wiped a stray tear, "Whenever you're ready okay? No pressure."
She smiled and our eyes locked, "How are you so good?"
"Because I care about you." I say, "Do you want to go to sleep?"
She nodded, "Sorry I freaked out…"
I helped her back into my sleeping bag, "No, it's okay, I think I pressure you early, so I am sorry."
"Let's just get some sleep." Clare whispered.
I pressed a gentle kiss to her cheek, "Goodnight Clare."
"Goodnight Eli."

The next morning I was with Adam at breakfast when Fiona came over to us, "Good morning boys." She sat down on Adam's lap and kissed him.
"Where's Clare?" I ask.
She shrugged, "She said she wanted a little space for the morning."
Space? Why space? I hope I didn't upset her last night, "Maybe I should go talk to her…" I trailed off.
"No!" She and Adam said at the same time.
Adam clarified, "Just give her the space she needs-"
Fiona cut him off, "Clare get's weird sometimes, it's no big deal, usually she is fine in a couple hours."
"Well what does she do when she isn't fine?" I ask.
"She just thinks, sometimes goes for a walk?" She said, but she sounded a little unsure.
I sigh, "Um okay I guess, I'm going to get more food."
Adam follows after me, "Seriously, give her some space. Fiona was right, she gets like this sometimes, but she has her reasons, so don't freak okay? She'll be fine."
I sigh, "I just want her to be okay. I'm worried I guess…" I trail off.
Adam nods, "She'll be okay, I promise."

Clare was still taking her "space" when the chapel bell rang. I groaned, but got up to go to chapel.
I was about to sit in the little circle when someone grabbed my arm and pulled me into the bushes. I was about the hit the person, but Clare cowered away from me, "Eli!" She hissed.
"Sorry!" I whispered.
"Come on." She grabbed my arm and started pulling me through the woods.
"What about chapel?" I asked.
"I-I need to tell you something." She stated firmly.
"Okay? What's going on sweetheart?" I ask.
She steps over a tree branch and wraps her arms around me, "I-IhadsexwithKC."
A/N: Eli's reaction next chapter!
