Fitz picked up Clare at 7 o'clock. Her parents were away so she didn't mind going out. Darcy gave her the older sister, 'I don't approve look' and Clare just gave her a look that said 'go to hell'. Darcy sat on the coach waiting for her baby sister to come back.
…...
Declan came to pick up KC at 8:15. they drove to the ravine. KC didn't say two words to Declan and Declan didn't speak to KC. They were on a mission. Operation: Save Clare.
…...
Clare arrived trying not to let what Alli said have any effect on her. Fritz noticed she was a little tense and handed her a drink
"What is this?" Clare asked
"Just drink it," he said "You will feel better." he told her
"Fine just one," Before she knew it one turned into 6. Clare was so dizzy and groggy that she couldn't even tell you her name. Fritz invited her to the van. Clare went, not knowing what was going on.
…...
"You know where she is?" Declan said
"No. you look over there and I will ask over here." KC told him. Just then he saw Johnny. He walked up to him
"Hey look, its my ex little friend."Johnny said "What can I do for you KC?"
"Have you seen Clare?"
"Well she was here somewhere." Johnny said jokingly which was making KC mad "You know I must of misplaced her. Sorry man." Johnny got up to get more beer., but stopped him
"You know if came looking for Alli, I would help you." KC searched Johnny face. Johnny knew KC was telling truth
"She went to the van with Fritz."
"When?" KC asked
"Maybe ten. Fifteen minutes ago."
"Thanks man."
"I didn't do it for you." Johnny said, and KC knew who he did it for.
…...
Clare lay down on the floor. Fritz was over her. Suddenly she got a horrible flashback to when she was here with Eli. Then all these memories came flooding back. Taking with Eli, laughing with Eli, kissing Eli. Then she remembered KC. The way he held her when they had sex. She loved KC and Eli. That is why she had sex with them, but Fritz, she felt nothing for. She could be there any longer be there.
"I gotta go." she tried to get up. But Fritz pinned her back
"No you aren't." his strong gripped scared Clare
"Fritz let me go." she said
"No, come on Clare," he began to kiss her neck. "Don't be like that Clare."
"Fritz your hurting me." she became so scared
"Just relax." he said smoothly.. but Clare wasn't able to relax.
"Stop. No. Let go!" she screamed, Fritz smacked Clare
"Shut up." he said he was crushing her wrist. She began to cry.
"Help me." she cried out.
…...
"Declan, I know where she is." KC said
"Lets go." they walked over to the van. They heard Clare screamed
"Help me. Fritz let me go! Please!"
"Clare is that you?" KC said
"KC?" she sounded relived
"Clare open up." Declan said
"I can't." they heard a smack. "Ow!"
"Declan man, help me open this." KC said. They both pulled the door but it was locked. KC punched the glass and unlocked it. Fritz was over a scared Clare.
"KC." Clare was over joyed she jumped out and ran to Declan. KC pulled Fritz out and began to punch him repeatedly. Something came over KC and he could stop. "KC Stop! Please!" Clare cried. He looked at her. Her face was red and wet from tears.
"KC man, come on." Declan said
"Fine." but turning to Fritz "You don't look at Clare, you don't talk to Clare ever. Or I will kick your ass for real this time." he walked away. He sat in the back with Clare who was shaking. Once they arrived at Clare's house Darcy opened the door.
"Oh god what happened?" she said
"Tell you in a bit just." KC said and Darcy helped Clare up stairs. KC began to make tea. Declan looked at KC
"I gotta go. If you need anything let me know. Or if Clare does." he said
"Thanks for the help."
"Nah, Clare is like a sister to me." he smiled and left. Within minutes Darcy came downstairs. She saw KC making some tea
"Thanks KC. Who knows what would have happened if you hadn't been there." Darcy said
"She told you?" KC asked
"Yeah. Not everything but a little."
"Well, she would do the same thing for me." KC said
"You don't get it." Darcy said "I was raped two years ago."
"Clare never told me that." he said
"I told her never tell anyone." she said "So you see, the thought of someone doing that to Clare.." Darcy chocked "I would die."
"She is fine now." he told her "I am just gonna give her this tea and leave." he told her and walked up but Darcy asked
"Does she know?"
"Know what?"
"Know that you love her?"
"No" KC said "She doesn't love me anyways." he said
"You should tell her." Darcy said
"I don't know." and KC disappeared up the stairs. He knocked on Clare's door "Calamine tea." he said "Your gonna be really sick." he said
"Thanks." Clare said took a sip. KC smiled at Clare, and got up to leave "Don't go." she said "I don't want to be alone tonight.
"You wont be. Darcy is here."
"I need you KC." she said
"Ok." he said and sat on her.
They just stared at each other. Just then Clare began gag and KC grabbed a garage can. She ran to the bathroom and KC held her hair back. She threw up for a good 20 minutes. KC handed her a wash cloth. And she began to throw up again. After another 15 minutes KC walked Clare back to her bed. KC again just stared at Clare.
"Don't give that look." Clare said
"What look?"
"The look of I know you can do better so why would you do something so stupid." she said. KC just smiled
"I am giving you the look, you always give me when I screw up." he said
"You don't get it KC." she said
"I want to try. Tell me, please?" he said
"It's just. My whole life I have been able to know what's gonna happen. But then I met you. And suddenly I cant do that."she said "When we were together, I felt unstoppable. I was super Clare." She began to tear up "When you dumped me for Jenna, it hurt so bad. I thought I would never get over it." she looked up "Then I met Eli. And suddenly its that feeling again. I loved him KC. And everyone just wants me to forget about him, like he never existed." she said "And I cant do that. I am not brave or strong like you or Alli. I cant just pretend that Eli never existed. I cant so it." KC put his hand on hers
"Clare you are the strongest person I know." KC said "And the bravest." KC said
"Yeah right." Clare said
"You are." he assured her "Clare, you are strong. You are one the strongest people I have even known. You can do anything."
"I am a big slut." Clare said
"Why did you do all that?" KC asked
"I couldn't control anything anymore. So I figured if I could control something, then my life would be mine again." Clare said "Stupid I know."
"No its not." KC told her "Its not."
"What if people talk, and say I am this big slut? I swear I would die." Clare said
"No matter what you have done Clare, no one at Degrassi has the right to judge you." he told her.
"Really?"
"Yes. You still shine next to some of the kids."
"Thanks KC." she said "You always know what to say." she said
"I learned from this cute smart girl a dated last year." he smiled
"You still think she can come back?" Clare asked
"I do. I have never lost faith in her."
"Why?"
"Cause she never lost faith in me." he said "Even when I left her and hurt her repeatedly. She still believed that I was a good guy."
"Ok. I am gonna go to sleep." she fell asleep. KC sat on the chair and dozed off.
…...
About 4 o'clock Clare woke up shaking in a cold sweat. She was crying. KC ran over to her. She barred her face into his chest. He squeezed her hard.
"Its OK. I am here. I am right here." he told
"KC I was so scared."
"You gonna be fine. I am right here. I am not going anywhere." he assured. She fell back and he held her all night.. the last they slept together, left them both empty, this time it completed them. The last time left Clare with a big whole in her heart, and now it filled it. Kc held Clare as if he could take away all her pain. And in a way he did. Cause in KC's arms Clare finally fell asleep.
