AN: Sorry it's been so long writing. But here is another chapter. I had to literally read everything I wrote to remember it. And to be honest I was bored. Maybe it was because I had wrote it but in anycase I'm sorry if there are any mistakes becasue I skimed most things cause they were boring to me.

And sorry I don't own Degrassi or else I'd share with all of you marvalous readers.

Wow literally it took me two hours to get this to upload that sucked! Hope you enjoy!

Clare

I smiled as Peter sat down our drinks and gave me a little wink while nodding his head to Aiden. I wanted to giggle. Everyone was being so funny about the situation. Really it's not like it was the first guy I was at The Dot with.

"So truth or dare, Clare." Alli cheered poping a frie into her mouth.

"Are you serious? You want to play this?" I asked, looking embarrassed at Alli's behavior. I looked over at Aiden only to see a curious look on his face. "Fine truth." I stated taking a deep drink. I had never been brave enough to pick dare with Alli she was just too crazy.

"HUM... Okay Clare what did you like most about last night?" She asked giggling. Adam choked on his burger as he looked between us. "Not like that Adam." She added as Aiden laughed at the scarlet boy across from him.

"My late night chat." I stated simply sneaking a peak at Aiden out of the corner of my eye. "Now really I don't want to play this game."

"We can always pick it up at my party." Aiden said, giving me a wink and causing me to blush.

"You're having a party?" Adam asked, looking over at Alli.

"Yeah I figured it would be a good way to meet people. Only thing is my family has a tradition of having parties that the guest have to sing. You know cheap entertainment and all. I was thinking the end of my first offical school week. So I hope you can sing because no one is excempted." He cheered smiling wide like it was the best thing in the world.

"Um sounds fun." Adam replied looking a bit nervous.

"Don't worry you can sing along to the song if you want too. I just think it's more fun karoke style." Aiden added, giving Adam a break.

Alli smiled at me, her eyes twinkling with something that looked like a plan. I shuddered mentally because I knew all her plans were reckless, and in my state I wasn't ready for recklessness. "Well that means we have a week to get ready and pick a song then. Clare this calls for a sleep over, consisting of shopping and music. Junk food of course will be provided." Alli called popping a fry into her mouth.

Eli

"What do you mean he's having a party?" I growled at Cece who was looking down at me apologetically. "Have they forgotten why they are here in the first place. The last thing they need to do is place him with a girl." I snapped. All I could think about was Clare and the image her smiling up at him and the gleam in his eyes when he watched her. I shuddered at the thought of him being alone with her ever.

"They are here for a new start. They are trying to put all that behind him. Give him a chance you'll see he'll be better." She said, giving me a look of sympathy.

"Yeah and he just has to try his new path on Clare?" I snapped.

"What?" She asked stitching her brows together.

"You know they moved beside the Edwards house. They met and are now seemingly insepreable. Mom he's after Clare. My Clare. What if he..." I couldn't even finish my sentence.

"Baby boy, you and Clare are over, you have that nice girl Kay. Try not to worry about it. She's not yours anymore. She hurt you stop trying to hold on. If you're that scared I'll talk to his mother. Don't worry about it." Cece stated standing up. Why did she always have to be so straight forward? Clare wasn't mine anymore that was true, but I wasn't about to stand by and watch that prick hurt her. I watch mom move to the phone but I didn't stay around to listen to the onesided conversation. Instead I grabbed the keys to Morty and took off.

I wasn't sure where I was going but I had to move. I had to get away and just keep going. Yet as much as I knew I had to keep moving I still ended up at Clare's house. I sat infront of it for a long time not knowing what I was doing. I looked up as I heard a tap on the door. There stood Clare's mom smiling down at me in confusion.

"Eli what are you doing here?" She asked, her eyes searching the car as if looking for any signs of danger.

"Oh I'm here to see my aunt. You know the Silver's are family. Aiden is my cousin." I stated simply as if that answered it all. If only she knew how much I hated Aiden at this point she'd be more confused. Instead she just simply smiled and nodded at me.

"Oh yes Aiden. He's a nice boy. Clare seems to think so too." Helen said then instantly shut her mouth as if realizing who she was talking too.

"Yea well I best be going it doesn't look like they are home." I stated turning back on the car.

"He went to The Dot." She stated turning a way.

"What?" I asked.

"Your cousin, Aiden. He and Clare were meeting friends at The Dot." She said slipping into the house.

I pressed down the gas pedal and zoomed off towards Kay's. I wasn't about to go there alone. Maybe she could help me. I knew if I told her everything she'd be upset but I was willing to risk it because I needed help. If only I could talk to Adam. Wait Adam that's it. Once I stopped at the red light I pulled out my phone and texted him.

Adam

We were laughing at something Aiden said. I had to admit Aiden was a pretty cool guy. To bad he wasn't into comic books then he'd be perfect. But sadly I was still stuck to dorking out about my books by myself. Alli leaned her head on my shoulder trying to stop laughing. Her face was glowing with glee.

I knew she was happy now that Clare was out of her shell again. To be honest I was pretty happy myself. I missed her. The moment she left Eli was the moment I lost my two best friends. I don't know what I would have done if Alli hadn't rescued me. I smiled at her. I jumped when I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. Alli leaned back and looked at me with an amused look. She most have felt it too.

I looked over at Clare and Aiden and shook my head. Neither of them noticed anything if anything they seemed to be in their own little world. I smiled and pulled out my phone. My smile dropped however once I looked at it. One text from Eli. I frowned at my phone. Why was he texting me? Alli noticed the change and grabbed my phone. She too frowned. "What does he want?" She asked looking up at me.

I shrugged and clicked on the text. "Adam can we meet up? I need to talk to you. I need help with something. -Eli"

I looked over at Alli who was also frowning, only her whole face was frowning now. "Why the hell is he talking to you now?" She asked. I could see concern and anger in her face. She glanced over at Clare who still hadn't noticed anything happened. I shrugged and looked at her meeting her eyes. "Do what you want too. I'm not going to be mad. He was your friend, but rememeber I am on Clare's side in everything. I love you but that's how it's going to be." she said quietly.

"Hey what's going on?" Aiden asked, obviously he noticed the difference causing Clare to also look over at us.

"Nothing I just have too go. Um I have to meet up with someone." I said, standing up real quick.

"Oh okay." Clare said looking a bit dissappointed. She smiled weakly when she noticed Alli smiling up at me. Yeah they were close. One look and Clare knew something was up. I sighed and hugged Alli real quick and left.

I'm not sure what I was doing but I had to find out why now of all times, once things started being okay he had to talk to me. I walked out of The Dot to see him sitting there waiting in Morty. I nodded at him as he nodded to the passenger seat. I climbed in and we drove off. Wow I missed this car. I missed this man.

"Hey." He said, quietly. He didn't look over at me. Actually he looked sad, worried, maybe even scared.

"Hey." I said back, looking out the window. I wasn't about ready to push him to talk when he wasn't ready.

He ended up at the old abandoned church he and Clare had found. I sighed quietly and got out of the car. He sat there for a little bit then also got out. "Adam I need your help." He said.

"Yeah that's what your text said. What happened? Why now?" I asked, feeling hurt. "Why all the quietness, the distance? Why did you do this?"

"It's complicated." He said. "Everytime I see you I see her. I remember her. We were the three amigos or something. Damnit Adam it hurt to see you and know she wasn't about to show up. I couldn't handle it. I know it wasn't fair to you and I'm sorry but right now isn't about us. I need you to help me keep Aiden way from Clare." He stated.

I stared at him. What the hell was he talking about. Clare was finally happy we were all finally happy and now he wanted to ruin that. For what jealousy? "You really are fucked up." I yelled and turned away from him.

"He hurts people Adam!" He yelled at me and I stopped. "That is why he had to move here. He put his girlfriend in the hospital." he whispered.

I turned on him ready to yell out all my anger until I saw his face. Right then I knew he was telling the truth.
