Imogen slammed into Clare as she scrambled for the door. She had to get away from Clare; from everyone. If she could just get into a car, she could be free. She threw the front door of the cabin open and stumbled to Eli's jeep.

Clare, still stunned at what had happened, jumped to her feet. There was no way that she would let Imogen drive drunk. She ran outside and bright lights of a car turned on.

"Imogen! Stop, you can't do this!" Clare cried out.

Clare somehow managed to reach the car just before Imogen figured out to put the vehicle in drive. Clare yanked on the driver's side door, but Imogen had it locked. She pounded on the door, but then ran over to the passenger's door. It opened wide, and Clare slid into the seat just as Imogen put the car into reverse.

"What are you doing?" Clare panted. Clare reached over and pushed the gear shift into neutral. Imogen, not paying attention to Clare, slammed her foot against the gas pedal.

"What the hell, Clare? Get out!" Imogen bellowed after she realized that the jeep wasn't moving.

"Imogen, you need to turn the car off and go back inside. Turn off the jeep and hand me the keys." Clare said as calmly as she could. Her hand was still on the shift so Imogen couldn't put the car into drive.

"Clare, I'm not getting out, so you'd better now." Imogen said dangerously.

Clare sighed and thought for a moment. Imogen wasn't going to get out of the car easily.

"Imogen, tell me what's going on with you. Why did you get so drunk tonight?"

Imogen said nothing. Tears streamed down her face as she sat there silently.

Clare's POV

I could see the contempt in Imogen's tear filled eyes as she glared at me. She never had to say a word to me; I knew that somehow, I was to blame for her present state.

"I know that you are mad at me, but I'd like to help you with whatever you are going through. Driving while you are totally incapable is wrong, Imogen. You could kill someone, or yourself. Please, just talk to me." I pleaded.

She turned her head away from me. "I want to be you, Clare," she whimpered.

I wasn't expecting this answer. "What do you mean?"

She blew out a breath I could tell she had been holding. She faced me, her face bright red and her eyes burning with anger. "I want what you have, Edwards. You have everything I could ever dream of having."

"But Imogen-"

"I've been in your shadow since day one, Clare. I've tried to make Eli forget you. It's always been 'Clare' this and 'Clare' that. If you were me, you'd be sick of Clare, too. Even Jake is still in love with you, and you guys are almost siblings! It's disgusting how you plague all the minds of all the eligible boys at Degrassi."

I flinched. She made it sound like I was a hussy. I never meant to put myself out there like that. My heart belonged to one guy.

"Imogen, I'm sorry you feel the way you do, but driving while drunk is not the answer to your problem."

Imogen's eyes flashed with hatred, and my skin got cold. She suddenly brought her hand back and slapped me hard.

My hands flew to my face and off the shift stick. "Imogen, why?" I asked; tears sprung to my eyes.

Imogen took the car out of neutral, put it into park and slammed her foot against the gas.

"I'm solving my problem."

Eli's POV

I left the bonfire to see where Clare had gone. I thought I had heard a car start, and I wanted to make sure that everything was okay. Bright lights blinded me as I rounded the side of the cabin.

"What the fuck?" I thought to myself. The car was feet away, and I realized that Imogen and Clare were in my jeep talking. A scenario after scenario played in my head to explain why they were in my vehicle. Imogen must have gotten a hold of my keys and Clare must have tried to stop her and talk her out of it. My sweet, sweet Clare.

"Fuck no she didn't," I said aloud as I plainly saw Imogen strike Clare hard. No one was going to hurt my Clare, no matter if she was intoxicated. I started over to the jeep when all of a sudden Imogen stepped on the gas and spun out of the driveway.

Imogen wasn't heading for the road though. I watched in horror as the jeep zoomed onto the lawn and towards the dock. Imogen was heading straight for the lake with Clare.

I felt as if i had died a thousand deaths as the jeep hit the water.
