An EClare Story

Okay, 11th chapter, here it goes!

Disclaimer: I do not own Degrassi, or anything on here.

Darcy's POV:

My god, Clare changed so much, she came from so innocent and weird, to so innocent, but a goddess. Her looks came from somewhere weird, I mean, you could never tell we were sisters. She was pale, with an curvy petite figure, but I was just petite all around. All I could thin was "god, where did you get those boobs?!" I got my mother's body, but Clare? She had a body of a goddess, for sure. She was telling me everything that went on with her life since I last saw her 3 years ago. But after her first year, she kept telling me about some boy named Eli, and from what I heard, she liked him still, maybe even loved him? She told me everything I needed to know about Eli, that kid surely had a messed up past, but he did get through it, and that was amazing to hear. Then she told me about Jake, our mother's step-son, I knew who he was, but hell.. I can't believe that douchebag tried to do that to Clare, and it was the sweetest thing what Eli did to help Clare. My mother was a fool for marrying that guy, but hell, we couldn't do anything, she was in love too. I'm just glad Jake was out of Clare's life. I didn't know who Eli was, but I would sure like to meet him, and from the sound of it, he sounded like he'd be a cute guy. She told me then about what happened at his graduation, and I thought that was the worst. It seemed she went through so much with Eli. Clare stopped talking then, and her face turned red, I turned around to see what she saw, and I saw a short-ish boy, with black long hair, and beautiful green eyes. I looked back at Clare, and she finally said "that's Eli, let me introduce you two, please? Well, if he'll come." I smiled and said "Of course, Clare, go try!" I was anxious for this, I wanted to meet him, and I was right, he was pretty cute.

Eli's POV:

Ah, Little Miss. Steaks, I've missed this place so much. I looked around, and who was I to see? Clare was walking up to me. I got red, and I panicked, and before I could dart away she was close enough to me, and said "Hello, Eli, CeCe, Bullfrog, how are you guys?" and she smiled. CeCe hugged her, and said we were having a family dinner, and she nudged Bullfrog, and he said "Hey, Clarebelle! Missed ya!" nad then there was me.. I did what I've wanted to do, and I hugged her. I hugged her so tight, and I didn't want to let go. She whispered in my ear and said "Eli, I've missed you so much." I wanted to cry, but I didn't. I broke the hug, and said "So, what're you doing here?" and she said, "Well, there's someone I've wanted you to meet, if your parents don't mind if I take you away from your family dinner.." my parents smiled and said "Go ahead, we'll just get a table!" Clare grabbed my hand, and guided me to her table, there was a girl there, she was really tan, petite, a little taller than Clare, and had very light brown hair, and hazel eyes, she looked like their mother, and I realized who she was, it was her sister, the one who was raped, her sister Darcy. I swallowed a lump in my throat and said "you must be Clare's sister, Darcy! I'm Eli, nice to meet you!" I said it so fast, and she looked at me so confused. I made an idiot of myself. Clare was laughing then, and said "Eli, calm down, I guess you recognized her, okay, Darcy, this is Eli, he's a great friend of mine. Or was.." I was saddened by her choice of wording, but I didn't blame her. I haven't talked to her really for 6 months, and all of a sudden I'm meeting her sister.

Darcy's POV:

I knew this guy loved Clare by the way he looked at her, and I have never in my life have seen that affection before, and they weren't even together. What I wanted to know was why the idiocy was letting them stay apart? He didn't seem like her type, but hell, he was a sweet, polite, cute guy. He wore guyliner, but who cares? He was cute. He was in college. I approved more of him then Jake. Then again, I would never approve of a guy who tried to rape my little sister. I laughed at his introduction and said "Hello, Eli, I'm Darcy, it's nice to meet someone my sister spoke so fondly of just before you got here." They both blushed, and turned 10 shades of red, I laughed and said "C'mon guys, no need to get embarrassed. But seriously, it's really nice to meet you, I've heard great things." He smirked and said "I've heard the same about you, Miss. Edwards. You're tan, Clare needs to visit you in Africa sometime, her tan is going away!" I laughed at his sarcastic remark. And she just stuck her tongue at him. This was the cutest thing I've seen on my life. They obviously loved each other, but they were going through a hard time, so of course they weren't together. But when the day comes, I'll be completely happy. Eli then had to dismiss himself to eat with his family. He said "It's nice to meet you, Darcy. It really was a pleasure, now, Clare, you wanna visit the kids with me tomorrow? They miss you.. I'll call you tonight. We need to catch up. Laters, Edwards sisters. Have a great rest of the night!" and he went off with his parents. I swear if they didn't marry, I would kill Clare. I looked at my blushing little sister, and said "Clare, you better marry that boy!" she turned red again, and said "Let's go home, Darcy!" I agreed. As we were leaving, I saw a pair of green eyes follow us, he was madly in love with Clare as well as she was madly in love with him. It was hard to realize that my sister was all grown up, and she was doing fine without me. I flashed back to the first day of school, and all I saw was that little girl in the private school uniform looking as clueless as ever, and she turned into a beautiful girl with curves, but still as clueless as ever. When would she learn? I laughed to myself, and before knew it we were home. I missed home. I missed my little sister. I missed my mother and father too, but of course, they weren't here. Not even my mother, who was at dinner with her new husband, but I decided I was going to make this trip home the best of it.
