Dinner had been good at the most, even though Clare had made up more lies throughout the time to keep up with the stories. Right now everyone was in the living room talking. Adam had his arms wrapped around Fiona, Clare sat up straight and attentive, while Eli layed back with his arms spread out.

"So, Clare, I don't want upset you, but you have to be going to school right?" Adam asked, cautiously.

"Well, Spring Break is coming up, so I'll figure it out." Clare smiled, hopefully towards Eli, who returned it with a smirk.

"Oh, well, Fiona? Do you want me to take you home? I know you were tired when we got back from Paris."

"Yeah, but um Clare can you help me with something I want to take home? The food was amazing." Fiona smiled at Eli.

"Uh, sure Fiona." Clare smiled and walked with Fiona to the kitchen.

As soon as the girls were out of ear shot Adam leaned forward and whispered to Eli.

"Dude, what are you going to do? I know you like her, but you can't pay for her to go to school. If she lives in Winnipeg you should take her back to her parents."

"I can't just let her go she like me, and I like her. We'll never see each other if she goes back."

"So, you're just going to support her the rest of her life?"

"I don't know what to do Adam. I want her to be happy and be able to get a job and stuff, but I don't want her to leave."

Clare yawned as she layed on her side of Eli's bed. She was in a tank top and boy shorts, and Eli was wear a wife beater and blues, plaid boxers. Clare smiled shyly and pulled the covers over her body. Eli saw and smirked over at her, and she smiled widely in return.

"So, Clare. I was wondering about school plan you came up with. I don't think my parents will support it and I can't afford it. It pains me to say this, but I think this weekend I should take you back to your parents." Eli bowed his head.

"What? No!"

"Clare, I can't have to keep living here. You'll never have a good education or a good future, you need your parents."

"No, no, they can't help me." Clare begged.

"Yes, they will. They're your parents."

"You don't understand." Clare was on the verge of crying.

"Understand what?"

"My parents are dead!"

The room went silent and both of them stared in shock at each other.

"What?" Eli frowned.

"My parents died, while I was here with Joe." Clare looked down.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I don't like to talk about, so can we not?" Clare turned away and went to sleep.

In the morning Eli was already eating and Clare didn't bother to dress before she came down to eat with him. He was eating just plain, buttered toast.

"Hey." Clare smiled and acted like last night didn't happen.

"Are you lying to me?" Eli folded his hands and asked.

"What do you mean?"

"All the things you've told me. It's just so confusing, everything that's happen to you."

"Well, I guess I'm just not luck." Clare shrugged.

"Clare, Adam told me he overheard you and Fiona talking last night."

"I have to go." Clare turned and ran out the door after she grabbed her coat.

Eli ran out the door to catch her, but she had disappeared and Eli couldn't see her anywhere.

This story should be ending in a two more chapters by today or tomorrow. Tell me if you want a Fadam moment or to skip that.
