Hey guys! Sooooooooooo sorry this took so long, I got my computer taken away for a month because of bad grades. So please review, there will be one chapter after this, but I'll try and write some more stories because I had to put two stories aside because for some reason I thought I could handle writing them all at the same time! So my friend is writing a story about Eli and K.C. fighting for Clare and I'm typing it up and posting them for her so keep an eye out for that story called 'On the Outside Looking In' and I'll also be continuing my story about Eli and Julia's relationship called 'Lost Love'. The first two chapters are already posted so please go check them out. Now that I've rambled long enough, here's the ending to Overcoming Obstacles. This final chapters are written from different points of view.
CLARE'S POV:
I woke up that morning thinking about last night. I touched the finger that once held my purity ring. I was started to wonder if I was really ready, but I loved Eli so much, I was willing to go the distance for him. I missed him so much. I was really excited to see him at school, but I was also a little afraid because of what we did. I was starting to wonder why I let things go as far as they did, but it was my decision wasn't it? But that boy is the only one who could possibly make me feel the way that he did. And everything just feels so right when I'm around him. He's really starting to change me. I love him.
My phone started to ring, it was Eli. I immediately picked it up.
"Hey!" I said excitedly.
"Hey, fun night last night, huh?" I knew he enjoyed it.
"Absolutely!"
"How about I give you a ride to school? I could pick you up in about half an hour?"
"Sure, see you then!"
"Love you Clare-bear!"
"Love you too Eli!" I hung up the phone and took a shower. I got out and did my make-up and blow-dried my hair making sure my curls were perfect. I needed to make sure I looked great for Eli.
I heard a horn beep outside. I looked out my window and saw his hearse nearly covered in graffiti. What the hell happened to his car? I walked out and slid into the passenger seat. He clearly wasn't pleased, probably because of his car that he loved to death.
"What happened?"
"Fitz and Abbi, I can't believe they would do this as some sort of 'revenge'!"
"How do you know it was them?"
"I overheard them talking 'bout how they were gonna get back at me for rejecting Abbi, and getting Fitz arrested."
"How about I go with you to get this spray-paint washed off after school, it'll make the wait less boring."
"Sure, but with what money I'm broke!"
"Don't know, but how much do you have?"
"Really? You obviously don't know the meaning of broke!"
"So you have absolutely no money?"
"None." Great, so now he's going to be in a bad mood all day because of his car.
"Don't worry, we'll find a way to get it off." I said as we started to pull into the Degrassi parking lot. Fitz was standing right by the entrance. Eli rushed into a parking space when he saw him.
"Eli… don't do anything to him." He glared at me. "Please Eli, don't."
"He trashed my car Clare!" Fitz began tapping on Eli's window laughing at him. Eli reached for the door handle, but I stopped him.
"Eli! Violence is never the answer!"
"You're right Clare…"
"I am?"
"It's the solution." Before I could stop him from going any further he jumped out of the car. He gave Fitz a shove.
"Watch it pretty boy!"
"You're the one that should be looking out." Eli punched Fitz square in the nose. Fitz backed up gripping his nose in pain.
"Surely you must've learned your lesson by now, Eli!" Fitz knocked Eli to the ground and began repeatedly punching Eli. I jumped out of the car and tried to go break up the fight, it was killing me to see Eli hurt like this. I started to run over to Eli and Fitz but was stopped by one of Fitz' friends. I tried to break free of their grip but they wrapped their arms all the way around me.
"Let go of me!"
"I'm afraid I can't do that." He said as he put his hand over his mouth and started to drag me away. Pretty soon I was in the back seat of his car.
"What are you doing?" I said as he blindfolded me.
"Helping Fitz get back at Eli,"
"What are you going to do to me?"
"Take you on a little 'fieldtrip'."
"To where?"
"That's what you'll have to figure out." I felt tears in my eyes, I had been kidnapped.
ELI'S POV:
I finally managed to shove Fitz off of me. I got up and kicked Fitz in the stomach and finally I aimed a little lower and kicked him in the nuts. I felt a certain satisfaction seeing him roll on the ground in pain. "That's what you get!" I laughed at him even though I probably had a black eye from getting punched by him.
I looked around for Clare so I could walk her to class, she wasn't anywhere to be seen and she wasn't in my car. I was a little worried, but she probably got mad at me for fighting Fitz, so she probably left.
History seemed to take forever, but next was English, so I could see Clare again. I walked in and surprisingly Clare wasn't there. She must be running a little late. But I couldn't help but constantly turn around to see if she was coming. The warning bell rang. Come on Clare, hurry up… You're going to miss class! Finally, Miss Dawes walked in and she still wasn't here. Was she seriously that mad that she'd skip class to avoid me?
After English I called Clare. "Hello?" she answered. Something in her voice was wrong.
"Clare! Are you that mad, you have to skip class?"
"Eli…"
"He trashed my car Clare, you can't expect me to just shrug it off!"
"Eli, listen to me!" Something in her voice gave me chills.
"What's going on? Where are you?" After hearing the tone in her voice, I was starting to panic.
"I don't know! One of Fitz friends kidnapped me while you were fighting and you didn't even notice. He threw me in the back of his car and blind-folded me. We were in the car for about 30 minutes, then he took me into an alley and-"
"No!" I yelled I didn't want to hear what came next.
"Eli…?"
"Please don't tell me he…" I couldn't even say it.
"No!" I felt a huge amount of relief. "But I have no idea where the hell I am, or better yet, how to get home!"
"Alright what do you see around you, surely there has to be someone you can ask for directions!"
"Yeah, but it was a half-hour drive! I can't walk from here!"
"I'll come get you, just figure out where you are."
"Okay."
"How long have you been there?"
"Awhile."
"Why didn't you call as soon as you got a chance?"
"I didn't want to give you any more reason to skip class!"
"Clare! This is serious! If I would've known I could already have picked you up and you could already be safe!"
"I'm sorry…"
"I'm not going to let anything happen to you, I love you Clare."
"I love you too Eli! I'm going to go into this little shop I see and ask where I am. I'll call you back in two minutes!"
"Okay, bye."
"Bye." Click. We hung up. I felt a wave of panic go through me. How could they kidnap my Clare? Why would they kidnap her? I was so confused. I rushed out to my car. Crap… Well that's just fucking great! I said examining my car.
CLARE'S POV:
"Excuse me sir?" I said.
"Yes?" he replied leaning over the counter.
"Um… could you tell me the name of this town?"
"Yeah sure, Hamilton." Hamilton? That's so far away! I thought.
"Thank you." I said walking outside to look at the street signs. 56th St and N Chapman Dr. I picked up my phone and dialed Eli's number.
FITZ' POV:
Great, so the little fight I managed to start with Eli worked perfectly as a distraction. Luckily my friend Luke had things under control with Clare. I'm not planning to hurt anyone. Just send Eli into panic, and Clare for that matter. And by taking Clare away, it'll freak both of them out. And they can't press charges, they don't have proof of anything. But before I could get Luke to take Clare away, I needed to get Eli to take his eyes off of his precious Clare for a little, therefore I vandalized Eli's hearse and then provoked him into starting a fight with me. But I have more in store for the both of them.
It was first period and I should be in class. Oh well. I thought. I've skipped class plenty of times. However, Eli has too. But luckily for me, I'm pretty sure he went to class. That gives me time to further delay him rescuing Clare. He probably assumed Clare left because she was mad at him for starting a fight. I walked over to Eli's car and pulled out a knife. I knew what I had to do. I crouched down. Without questioning my actions, I thrust the knife into his tire. I did the same to the other three tires. Good luck getting to Clare now! I laughed to myself. I called Luke to make sure the other part of the plan was working.
"Hey dude!"
"Have you guys reached Hamilton yet?"
"Yeah, I left her in an alley before removing a blind-fold. But it shouldn't be hard for her to figure out where she is."
"Doesn't matter, who's gonna come get her? I slashed Eli's tires."
"Awesome! But what about her parents?"
"Don't know dude, I doubt she wants to drag them into this. For all she knows, Eli can still come get her."
"Perfect. That'll be a hundred bucks for my services, alright?"
"Fine. I'll give it to you later."
"Alright, later." I hung up. Perfect. I thought.
Ooh… Suspense. So I'll post the next chapter, hopefully tomorrow. But first let me know if that should be the last chapter. Because I could keep this going. Or I could write a sequel, maybe put Fitz and Luke on trial! You let me know, to be honest I could probably start a million different things just from this. So let me know what I should do. And again, sorry I couldn't update sooner. Check out my other stories. I'm probably not going to update 'Always On My Mind' until I finish 'Lost Love', just to let you know. But please check them out.
