It Was Worth It In The End

By Jiberty Fan

Chapter 12

Author's Notes: I am more concerned with the quality rather than the quantity when writing a fic. Thank you to those who have taken the time to read and review the previous chapters and my other fanfics. To those who are reading and not reviewing any writer likes some feedback and there are no wrong answers here but, I also don't believe in maliciously attacking anyone's work either. I do think that reviews often equal more fanfics to read. There is a bit of dialogue from "That 70's Show" in this fic that fit both Eric and Donna and Dolly J well in my opinion. Declan's thoughts are in Italics. I own nothing. Please read and review.

Declan Coyne was waiting for the school day to end because to him this meant much needed time with Holly J without interruption but he also knew that Holly J wouldn't want him to be slacking off because of her. Declan wanted nothing more than for his muse to be proud of him and during the interview for the Anti-Grapevine he remembered just how badly Holly J felt about her role in the infamous Vegas Night even though in public she always put on a brave face.

The bell ending officially ending the school day rang. Declan knew that his Presidenta was going to be doing three things at once minimum and so he knew that it was important that time not be wasted.

Declan saw the town car waiting for him and got in quickly. He was surprised by a kiss from Holly J who had somehow beaten him out of Degrassi today.

"What was that for?"

"Good afternoon, to you, Mr. Coyne."

"Did you check your phone, Holly J?"

"No, not yet. Let me guess, you managed to leave me a message despite Mr. Simpson's no-cell phone policy."

"Yes, I did." Declan smiled mischievously.

"I won't ask how you did it, Declan. Wait, this isn't anything like the last time that we listened to my cell phone message with you is it?"

"I remembered that, that message was classic. I loved it."

"Why can't you just tell me what you said?"

Holly J knew quickly that she wasn't going to win this battle and so she listened to the voicemail and was happily surprised by its contents.

"Good afternoon, beautiful, I hope that you're having a great afternoon. I love you."

"See, HJ, all surprises aren't bad."

Holly J notices that they are not headed toward the Dot.

"Declan, where are we going?"

"I thought that it would be more private and more fun to work at Fi's condo today."

"Declan, we have work to do."

"Oh, I know and work we will."

"Good looks and charm will only get you so much, Declan."

"I know. You taught me that."

"I can't wait until the Degrassi student body hears your interview with Chantay."

"My presidenta deserves to have some fun during her last semester at Degrassi."

Holly J rested her head on Declan's shoulders much like she did a few months ago even though it seemed like it happened an eternity ago.

"I am so happy to be this close to you again."

"I really hated being at Degrassi, but now that you're here, now it's going to be great. After Vegas night…"

"Holly J, about Vegas Night, Sav and all that stuff, I don't care, okay? I just want to be with you."

Declan leaned into to give Holly J a kiss.

"We're here and we've got to get to work, Declan."

"Life isn't fun when it's all work and no play, HJ."

"I'm not going to argue with that, Declan. Now we've got work to do." Holly J rewarded Declan with both a kiss and a smile.

"Yes, Miss Presidenta." Declan grabbed Holly J's hand and smiled as he went into Fiona's condo.

I am such a lucky guy. Sometimes I can't believe that Holly J is with me.
