Hey guys, how you doing? I hope all my EClare fans are hanging in there, I know its a tough time right now, but we have to pull through and have happy thoughts! The season isn't over yet and Eli and Clare have a chance at a happy ending! Keep the EClare faith alive! But I found it crazy that people gave up on Degrassi because Eli and Clare broke up. Crazy! I know its been a while since I've posted for this story, I just went through a lot... also, I'll try my best to update!

Let the fun begin!

"Hold on there, what did you just say?" Adam couldn't believe the words coming from this girls mouth.

"I need Imogen's help if I'm gonna get Jake." Clare Explained. Adam got up from the bed and walked over to her clip board and looked at it.

"Adam, what are you doing?"

"Checking to see if you hit your head because your not thinking straight." He replied flipping through the papers.

"Adam, I'm fine and thinking straight. Who else would have proof of Jake's abuse besides Imogen?"

"No one. Even if you get Imogen on your side, how will Eli react to this? The girl killed Julia, his first love. I don't think he wants to lose his second to the same girl."

"I understand that you might think that I'm crazy, but Imogen is my only hope of getting Jake behind bars." Clare explained and hoped Adam understood.

"Maybe, but their has to be another way, a saner way."

"I don't think there's another way, I'm sorry Adam but this is what I have to do." Clare's word was final and there was nothing Adam could do.

Adam looked at her for a long time and finally agreed with her decision, " Fine, but what are you going to tell Eli, he isn't exactly gonna be all happy go lucky about this."

Clare gave Adam a sheepish look. " I was hoping you had an idea..."

"Umm..." Adam stared intensely at the wall for what seemed like an hour but was only five minutes before he came up with an idea.

"You're Clare Edwards. You're Eli's biggest weakness, he can't say no to you. And if it means getting Jake put away, he'll be all for it.

"And if he isn't all for it? I can't risk losing out friendship again, it took way to long for it to get fixed and I don't think I could deal with all that pain again." Clare looked out the window and saw a few drops of rain hit the glass, the sky was a deep gray and a flash of light lit up the sky. The weather outside was perfect for how she felt.

Clary sat in her room wishing everything could be different. Eli wouldn't answer her calls and Shane was at work, which left her alone. She hated being alone, ever since Julia died.

When everyone found out Clare was going to be okay, Eli wouldn't speak to Clary, he even ignored Shane. Did he believe that it was Clary's fault? Was he mad because she never told him about Imogen? All these thoughts were giving her a headache and she really needed Shane, he was her rock and without him she was falling apart. She knows that she shouldn't depend on a guy that much, but she hasn't been able to trust someone like Shane in a long time.

Clary always hated having people mad at her. Even for something she never did.

Eli, can we please talk? -Clary

…..

Ten minutes later and she receives nothing back from him.

I don't understand why you're mad at me...I didn't do anything wrong...please talk to me. -Clary

…..

Twenty minutes later and still nothing. At this point Clary was in tears and she doesn't understand why Eli was acting this way.

Eli..please. If I was able to I would have told you the truth, but I wasn't going to throw my sister under the bus like that. Blood is thicker than water, and you're my best friend and I love you, but I wish you could understand why I kept this from you all these years. And don't act as if Julia's death only affect you, I was hurt too. How do you think I felt living with the person who killed her, I share blood with that murderer. I have no reason to apologize, so I'm not going to. I wish I didn't have to say this over a text message, but you left me no choice. -Clary

An hour later and she received no messages from Eli.

She looked at her blank phone screen and then threw her phone across her room and it hit a picture on her dresser. She got up and picked up the fallen picture and began to sob. It was a picture of her, Eli and Julia back at Bardell freshman year. They were all making funny faces at the camera, Clary remembers that day, it was the same day Eli and Julia started going out. She placed the picture back on her night stand and walked out of her room and went to the kitchen.

When Clary was away getting help in New York her therapist taught her to find outlets for her anger and depression. So she would bake. She was pretty good at it too. She went to the fridge and grabbed out eggs and butter. Than went to the cabinet and got a large mixing bowl. She grabbed flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, vanilla extract, and measuring cups. She mixed all the ingredients together and put the dough in the fridge to harden. While the dough was in the fridge she grabbed her cutting board and sprinkled flour on it and after took out some colorful sprinkles and different cookie cutters. She took the dough out of the fridge and placed it on the cutting board. She took her rolling pin and put flour on it and than put flour on her on her own hands.

She rolled out the dough and took the cookie cutters and pushed them into the dough and than placed the shaped dough on cookie sheets. After that she put sprinkles on the dough and put them in the oven for ten minutes. When they were done she took them out of the oven and placed them on the cooling rack. She cleaned up the kitchen and was glad that her mom kept extra ingredient around the house. This helped her forget about Eli and everything that was going on for the time being.

Eli knew he should have responded to Clary, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He was so confused and upset. He just got home from the hospital and he received all three of Clary's messages and didn't know what to say, he didn't even know how he felt about the whole situation. He's so caught up in Clare's issues with Jake that his feeling about Imogen possibly being the one who killed Julia didn't matter. All that mattered to him was making sure Jake got what he deserved for hurting Clare.

"Are you sure about this, Clare? I mean, we can find another way to get evidence that Jake is abusive without having to use Imogen." Adam was definitely again using Imogen for help.

"I don't have any other choice, Adam. I'm sorry, but its what I have to do." she picked up her cell phone from the night stand and dialed Imogen's number.

"Hello, Imogen. I need your help. Its about Jake." Clare and Imogen talked on the phone for a few minutes and then Clare hung up.

"Well?" Adam asked.

"She said that Jake also hurt her and said that she'll help me."

"Bye Clare" Imogen smiled and did a little victory dance. She walked over to her computer and opened a document. She went back to her list and smiled knowing she got one item checked off her list.

"Oh, Clare Edwards. You have no idea what you just got yourself into." and Imogen began to laugh psychotically.

Well, I know this isn't one of my best chapters, but it was something. Right? Whose excited for Degrassi in June ? I hope everything ends well for Eli and Clare, and by the looks of the promo it seems that way. And is anyone else sad that it's Munro's last episode as Eli and then he graduates. I'm gonna need a few boxes of tissues for when that episode airs. I would love to hear your thoughts! Reviews please!
