Adam looked at me as if I was clueless. "You don't know? They are like totally in love. Everyone says they are the cutest couple at Degrassi." I said, "In love, they were never together! She would never do this to me!" Then, I looked at Fitz and Clare. Fitz got down on one knee. Clare put her hands over her mouth. She was smiling and happy. "What's going on...?" I asked Adam. Clare smiled and Fitz put the ring on her finger. "She said yes to marrying that jerk!" I told Adam. Adam said, "He isn't a jerk, you raped Clare… You're a jerk…" I said, "Me? He did it!" I screamed running after Clare, "He did it Clare! I didn't do it!"

I screamed and screamed but I couldn't catch up! She was too fast for me. Then, I fell and I woke up sweating. "Just a bad dream…" I said as I got up and splashed my face with water. "Oh my god…that must have been the worst nightmare ever." I told myself. I looked in the mirror and knew what I had to do. I had to do everything in my power to get Clare back.

I was up all day and the night after that nightmare. It just seemed so real, as if I had seen the future. Clare, she can't turn her back on me. After what we have been through, and the feelings I have for couldn't have been explained more clearly than I already did to her. My first step was getting the hell out of this hospital. Once I am out I can get a hold of Clare, and fix everything. I think telling her about an abortion was one of the worst things I could possibly do. I knew she was upset, when I said that word, it was a mistake. When I said it, the color in her face faded to a pale white. That was my first mistake… I think saying I loved her, probably put too much pressure on Clare. And now, I don't know how I could let her get pregnant with someone else's child. I am so stupid.

As I was thinking I saw Clare. She was in the room. "Clare…" I whispered as she smiled. I said, "Why did you decide to come back?" She just kept smiling and then she was holding someone's hand. Then, Fitz appeared behind her. "What is he doing here?" I screamed as I blinked a couple of times and noticed she wasn't even there. I was screaming at the nurse, and the doctor was behind her. "Eli, are you ok?" I said, "Yes, I am fine. I just need to get out of here. Being here alone is making me go insane!" The doctor said, "I know Eli, its tough. Nurse, can you give us some time to talk." The nurse left and the doctor sat in the chair that Clare sat in before she broke up with me.

"Listen Eli, I was in your place, believe it or not when I was your age. Bullying is a horrible thing, and your girlfriend. See, Eli here is a tip you shouldn't do what she doesn't want you to do. Just, tell her how you feel." He told me. I was so creped out by this doctor but in a strange way I was thankful that he knew what I was dealing with. "I will let you out of the hospital tomorrow, on one condition," he told me. I said, "Anything…" This doctor was like an angel. "You have to get the girl back." I smiled and said, "Definitely…" I am pretty sure the doctor letting me out of the hospital early is illegal. But, it isn't my fault if he did. He told the nurses I was fine to leave tomorrow. They placed my chart in a basket and I was allowed to leave tomorrow morning at ten in the morning…Here I come Clare!

CLARE'S PERSPECTIVE

I had to tell Eli we were broken up for good. I had to protect him. Even though I am hurting the one person I love, I need to do whatever it takes to keep him alive. If I am pregnant with Fitz child I can't just ignore that. I have to tell Fitz. But, from here on in if I am pregnant I am on my own. But, as they say when the going gets tough the tough get going. I need to be strong, for myself and the possible baby. I made an appointment for tomorrow. My parents won't know because they will think I am at school. And, by the time I get home I will erase the message from school. They will never know I was absent. It was a perfect plan, except, I was starting to think like Eli…and I liked it.

ELI'S PROSPECTIVE

Finally, I was out of the hospital. I stood out of the hospital and took a deep breath in and breathed out. It was like breathing air for the first time. I smiled at the world. Then, I started to walk when I saw Adam...Adam was driving my car. "Hope in…" He said as he patted the passenger seat. "How did you know I got out today?" He said, "I have my ways, don't worry about it. Don't ask how I got the keys to your car either…" I laughed and said, "Well, just take me home." Adam said, "Why don't I drop you off and then you promise me you will rest. The doctor let you out early and it means you could be unstable. So, for everyone's sake be careful with what you do and just rest for the rest of today." I looked at him and said, "Fine, as long as you promise to come over tomorrow night. I am going to go to Clare to the doctor's appointment." Adam said, "You are finally doing the right thing."

CLARE'S PERSPECTIVE

My appointment for today was at ten but, I decided to go early and read the pamphlets in the waiting room. I got there and my heart was racing. I was so nervous and I didn't want to know what the results of this test will be. I was here all alone with no support. I had to do this on my own… I was reading a pamphlet when the door opened. It was Eli. Eli was standing at the door and my heart beat started to slow down. Eli made me calm. He sat down next to me and said, "I told you that no matter what you said in that note, I would be here today, with you." I was confused, what did I say in the note? "I only told you that the nurse woke me up and she told me to leave…" He said, "But, I got a note from you saying you were breaking up with me." I shook my head, "I never left you that note…" Then, the nurse called, "Clare Edwards…" I got up and Eli held out his hand. I placed my hand together with his and my heart was racing again…

I sat on the table and Eli stood right beside the table. "It'll be ok…" He said. He was so calm. The doctor came in, "Clare Edwards, sixteen years old, one hundred and twenty pounds, how long has it been since you've had intercourse." I stuttered and said, "Two…Two weeks." Then he said, "Ok, so now I need you to pee in this cup and I will test it. Then, we will know in a couple of minutes if you are pregnant." I nodded as he handed me the cup. I walked to the bathroom door and turned to glance at Eli and he said, "Go ahead Clare. I will be waiting out here."

After I did what the doctor told me to do I went back to the table. I sat there and Eli wrapped his arm around my waist. "It's ok…" He told me. I said, "Just stop, stop being so positive. It isn't normal." He looked at me confused and said, "What am I supposed to say?" I was thinking and said, "I am sorry, I didn't mean to do that. You are just trying to help…" Then the doctor walked in with a file. My head felt so heavy…What was the doctor going to tell me? He sighed, and said…
