I did this Chapter differently then other's that had POVs just so readers can get a better feel of the story which makes it longer please review.

Clare's POV

I woke up to the feeling of Eli's lips on mine.

"Good morning Sunshine" Eli said

"Good morning Eli, since when did you start calling me 'Sunshine'?" I asked

"I don't know I just wanted to try something new why do you not like it?" Eli said raising an eyebrow

"No I like it" I replied as I was getting ready for school.

"Hey my stitches fell out I don't need the wheelchair anymore."

Adam and Elizabeth were really good last night the only needed to be fed and changed twice.

We then headed to school. The first few periods were good apparently rumors about Missy trying to break up Eli and I spread fast and people kept telling me that they wouldn't let that happen and I told all of them she backed off. I can't believe how many people wanted to protect me.

Ali was out sick with a fever which meant I had to spend 5th period all alone, but it was ok. I haven't heard from my parents since I was 6 months pregnant which wasn't like them I kept texting each and every month and now I'm texting so much more even though I'm still mad, but they're my parents.

It was lunch time and still nothing

"Get anything back?" Eli asked as he took a bite of his sandwich

"Nope"

"It'll be ok Clare Bare we're all here for you" Adam reassured me

"I know, but I can't help but think-"

"Clare they're ok they probably need time to talk about things"

Buzz Buzz

"See told ya they're ok" Eli said

Hey Sis

Mom told me she's sorry she couldn't text and still can't she thinks you're mad at her for not being there when you had the babies. I told her you're worried about her and she told me to tell you that she just finalized a divorce with dad and she's going to tell you where things are going now once she finds out.

Love Darcy.

PS. Dad says he loves you and he'll text too.

"That was Darcy my parents got a divorce. They'll both text me later. No one knows what's going to happen now" I said in a monotone voice

"I'm sure they'll text back with the details and they're both ok so there's nothing to worry about" Eli said

"I know, it's just that I thought they'd always be together…like us" I said looking at Eli

He then hugged me and squeezed me really hard.

Then the bell rang. It was time for 5th period which I would be alone since there was no Ali.

Eli walked me to class and gave me a kiss goodbye.

I got into 5th period and sat by myself. I guess I looked pretty sad because KC sat next to me as I played with my engagement ring.

"Everything ok?" He asked

"Yea" I said

"Where's Ali?"

"Home with a fever"

"Oh mind if I sit in her seat?"

"No"

Buzz Buzz

Hey Clare it's mom,

I'm moving out of Toronto I've decided to start over new I'm moving to Chicago. I hope to hear from you soon.

Love Mom.

I texted my mom back saying congrats and I hope she was doing well.

The late bell then rang and we got another free period today because we had a sub since Mr. Doyle was out.

Riiing Riiing

"Hello" I said into the phone

"Hello is this Clare Edwards?"

"Yes how can I help you?"

"Your mother was in a plane accident a few hours ago we found her belongings and in her suitcase we found a letter you to that read Dear Clarabelle I'm sorry I haven't been there for you as much as I should have, but even though I'm moving so far away I'll still hold you here and I'll always call and write you when I can. I'm sorry things didn't work out with your father. Maybe you can bring Adam and Elizabeth to visit me when they get older. I love you my Clarabelle. The letter was in her address book next to your number so we thought we'd call."

The line went blank as I remembered my mom nicknamed me Clarabelle when I was little.

"I'm sorry there were no survivors found"

I then hung up my phone and left my book bag as I ran out of my classroom, into the hallway as I tried hard not to cry I always hated it when people seen me cry, then I ran into someone when I was trying to get through the front doors of the school.

"S-s-orry" I mumbled

I ran as far as I could run. Luckily my stitches were gone. I made it to a secluded area and broke down and cried.

"Good I finally caught up to you"

I recognized the voice and it was Adam. He sad down next to me and put his arm around me rubbing my shoulder as I had my face buried into my knees

"How did you find me?"

"You ran into me as you were rushing out of the building like it was on fire so I ran and followed you"

I heard Eli and Adam talk but I wasn't paying too much attention. I felt Adam remove his arm as he got up and left. Not long after Eli cradled in his lap I continued to cry on his shoulder.

"How did you know where I was" I cried even harder now

"I didn't KC ran to my classroom and told the teacher he needed to talk to me that it was important. I stepped outside and he said that you got some mysterious phone call and ran out of the classroom crying leaving your belongings behind and felt that he should get me."

"I need to text Darcy" I cried as I fidgeted for my phone.

"What was the mysterious phone call"

"My mom, my mom, I can't even say it. I'll show you the text before I send it to Darcy." I cried

Dear Darcy,

I just got a phone call in school Mom was in a plane crash and no survivors were found.

Love Clare

"Here" I said to Eli showing him the phone

"Oh my god Clare I'm so sorry" He tightened his grip and started rocking me back and forth

"They found a letter saying she loved me and she was sorry for not being here for me when I needed her she called me Clarabelle in it." I cried harder

Eli continued to rock me back and forth as I cried in his shoulder.

Adam then came back with not only my stuff, but also Eli's and he sat down.

Riing Riing

"Clare want me to answer it?" Eli asked

Riing Riing

"Please"

Riing

"Hello" Eli said "Clare's crying really badly right now" he continued "I'll tell her I hope you're doing ok and I'm sorry for your loss" he finished

Click

I knew that was Darcy when Eli told her that he was sorry I didn't ask him about the phone call I didn't want to.

Riing Riing

"Hello" Eli said picking up the phone "Clare doesn't want to talk I'm sorry" he explained "I'll tell you about it later I promise just get better" he said "Ok that'll be fine"

Click

I sat there still crying in Eli's shoulder, he was talking to Adam, but I was in my own little world.

I couldn't believe my mom's gone, memories of her, Darcy, and I replayed over and over in my mind. I remember when I was little she used to bake cookies with us and spend a lot of time with us. We were close, but then things changed when Darcy hit her teen years then her and I became closer than anyone. Mom used to fight with Darcy and I used to stick up for her. At night when Darcy wasn't around and I wasn't at Ali's mom would always spend time with me.

Eli then had me stand up and once he stood up I buried my head in him.

"Come on Clare we're going home. Adam's going to put everything in the back and then he's going to class ok?'

I just nodded.

Eli walked me to Morty and I sat down as Adam put everything in the back. I heard the back door slam shut and then Eli sat next to me and started the ignition.

I had stopped crying by the time we got home. Eli helped me out of the car and walked me up the stairs and inside the house.

"You're back early what's wrong" Mom asked.

"I'll tell you after I take Clare up stairs" Eli said

I laid in bed with Eli not saying a word I was still crying, but my sobs were starting to stop and I started to become tired. Eli laid next to me brushing my hair with his hands as I cried myself to sleep.

Eli's POV

I woke up and noticed Clare was still asleep so I decided to kiss her to wake her up and it worked.

"Good morning Sunshine" I told her

"Good morning Eli, since when did you start calling me 'Sunshine'?" she asked

"I don't know I just wanted to try something new why do you not like it?" I said raising an eyebrow

"No I like it" she said as she was getting ready for school. I blushed.

"Hey my stitches fell out I don't need the wheelchair anymore." She yelled from the bathroom.

I then folded the chair and put it in the back of the closet. I checked on the babies after I got dressed. Then I drove to school.

There were a lot of rumors going around about Missy trying to break us up. Funny how that spread so fast, but each one was true so I couldn't say anything. I just ignored them like usual and went to class.

I found out that Ali was home with a fever when Adam told me this morning. Which meant Clare was alone during her last 3 classes.

During lunch I noticed Clare was still checking her phone waiting for a reply from her parents.

"Get anything back?" I asked as I was eating

"Nope" She replied she sounded upset

"It'll be ok Clare Bare we're all here for you" Adam told her

"I know, but I can't help but think-" I cut her off

"Clare they're ok they probably need time to talk about things"

Then she got a text.

"That was Darcy my parents got a divorce. They'll both text me later. No one knows what's going to happen now" She said with no feeling

"I'm sure they'll text back with the details and they're both ok so there's nothing to worry about" I told her

"I know, it's just that I thought they'd always be together…like us" She said with puppy dog eyes

I didn't know what to say so I just hugged her tightly.

I gave her a kiss goodbye after she went into her classroom. I then walked to my College Prep class with Adam since his class room was next to mine. He used to have Chemistry with Clare until her classes got changed now she has it with Ali.

I sat in class bored out of my mind. We were supposed to be reading different essays college students. All I could think about is if Clare heard anything from her parents. Then KC knocked on the door and the teacher told me it was important. Oh great. I thought as I went to the door.

"Hey man Clare got some mysterious phone call in class last period she ran out crying I thought I should tell you she ran out the building"

"Thanks" I tapped him on his shoulder as a thank you and ran off to find her

I automatically knew to look for the closest secluded spot I could find.

I was right she was sitting with Adam I'm not sure how long they've been there, but it couldn't have been that long he was still out of breath.

"Hey Adam what's wrong with Clare?" I asked him

"I dunno man, she ran into me when I was going back to my classroom and she ran out the building like it was on fire and I followed her here I haven't gotten the chance to see what was wrong." He replied as he got up

"Thanks" I said as I picked her up and cradled her in my lap.

She then continued to cry in my shoulder.

"How did you know where I was" she cried harder now

"I didn't KC ran to my classroom and told the teacher he needed to talk to me that it was important. I stepped outside and he said that you got some mysterious phone call and ran out of the classroom crying leaving your belongings behind and felt that he should get me." I told her

"I need to text Darcy" She cried I felt her dig in her pocket for her phone.

"What was the mysterious phone call" I asked

"My mom, my mom, I can't even say it. I'll show you the text before I send it to Darcy." She criedas she texted "Here"

I began to read the text.

"Oh my god Clare I'm so sorry" I told her kissing her head

"They found a letter saying she loved me and she was sorry for not being here for me when I needed her she called me Clarabelle in it." I tightened my grip around her and started to rock her back and forth to calm her down

Adam then came back to drop off our stuff

Riing Riing

"Clare want me to answer it?" I asked

Riing Riing

"Please" Clare sobbed

Riing

"Hello" Eli said

"Eli it's Darcy" she said crying "How's Clare"

"Clare's crying really badly right now"

"Can you tell her I called if she doesn't know already"

"I'll tell her I hope you're doing ok and I'm sorry for your loss"

"Thank you and I have friends supporting me here too"

I then hung up the phone. I knew Clare knew it was Darcy when she wrapped her arms around me.

Riing Riing

"Hello" I said answering yet another phone call

"Hey Eli can I talk to Clare to see what I've missed last period?"

"Clare doesn't want to talk I'm sorry"

"What's wrong?" Ali sounded worried

"I'll tell you about it later I promise just get better"

"Can I call later?"

"Ok that'll be fine"

Click

"Thanks Adam for bringing our stuff back."

"No problem I told my teacher I'll be right back that there was something I had to do he gave me a pass without asking questions."

"I'm taking Clare home can you help by carrying our book bags?"

"Yea sure"

I then had Clare stand up and once I stood up she buried her head into me.

"Come on Clare we're going home. Adam's going to put everything in the back and then he's going to class ok?' I asked

She nodded tears still falling.

I helped Clare in to car and then walked to the back as Adam put our book bags there.

"What's going on?" He whispered

"Apparently her mom was going on vacation or something and got into a plane crash there weren't any survivors" I whispered back.

"Is Clare ok"

"Yea she's just extremely upset as to be expected don't tell anyone"

"I won't"

"Thanks, you better head to class I text you later"

I hoped in the car and turned on the ignition. We drove home in silence I felt if Clare wanted to talk she would I wasn't going to pry it out of her. I helped her inside when we arrived home.

"You're back early what's wrong" Mrs. Torres asked looking at Clare

"I'll tell you after I take Clare up stairs" I told her

I laid in bed with Clare she didn't say anything, but I wasn't going to leave until her crying stopped or until she was ok. I felt her crying lessen and when she stopped I noticed she cried herself to sleep so I kissed her head and went down stairs.

I walked into the dining room and sat down at the table and put my face in my hands.

"How's Clare" Mrs. Torres asked

"Sleeping" I told her

"Ok so what's wrong I need to know why you two skipped"

"Clare's mom died in a plane accident" I told her

"When did you find this out and how?"

"Clare got a phone call during 5th period I assume it was from the police. I was called into the hallway by Clare's classmate saying she ran out of the building crying and didn't even bring her stuff so I doubt she informed her teacher. I found her with Adam after that. She told me in a text. I told Adam before we came here. I also told him not to tell anyone else."

"Is there anything I can do for her"

"Not really"

Then the phone rang Mrs. Torres picked it up. I just laid my head on the table thinking to myself.

"That was Mr. Simpson saying you and Clare skipped I told him you're both here and that you aren't going back to school for the rest of the day. Of course he asked why and I told him Clare's mom just passed and you're comforting her. He said he'll excuse you both and since you have electives as your last two classes you're excused. Clare has Chemistry so she's going to have to make up the missed lesson"

"Thank you I replied"

Adam then came inside. We hung out for a bit he told me how shocked he was when Clare ran into him and that he was breathless when he caught up to her.

"She's still sleeping, she's really exhausted, and in pain she was complaining about her boobs hurting when she's not breast feeding."

"Yea I've noticed her boobs have been getting really big, I'm just hoping no one else notices after that Jenna incident Ali told me about."

"Oh yea the Jenna incident about the implants that happened before we both met Clare, I totally forgot about that, well if Jenna notices we'll do something about her or we can hope to find her before she finds Clare. We all know Clare's been through a lot first getting kicked out, then Fitz, then being in a wheelchair, then labor twice, then Missy, and now she just found out she lost her mom. We don't need her upset anymore or crying."

"Yea the last thing we need is Jenna on her case, wanna go to the Dot?"

"Sure."

"Mom we'll be at the Dot." Adam said

"Don't come back too late."

I drove to the Dot and as we got in we've noticed Jenna was there.

I walked up to her ready to talk to her.

"Is Clare breast feeding because I seen her running today and she had her arms around them so they didn't bounce when she ran is she ok?" Jenna sounded caring for once

"No she's not, but why do you care?"

"Because I owe her a really big apology I was very angry to say the least when KC said he was using me to get Clare back so I took my anger out on her before I got both sides of the story. I always knew KC loved Clare, but I didn't think he was using me for whatever reason, I should've taken my anger out on him and not Clare, but is there anything I can do for her?"

"No we're just trying to keep everyone from talking about her. She's been through enough"

"Hey both babies are up we should get going" Adam said.

"I'll help Clare any way I can I'm sorry Eli" I heard Jenna say as we left.

When Adam and I got back Mrs. Torres told us "Clare's awake and she decided to breast feed the twins, I helped by changing Adam, and I shut the monitors off."

I ran up the stairs and walked into Adam's nursery she was rocking both babies.

"Didn't you once say that hurt really bad" I mocked

"Yes, but bonding with them like this is worth it" Clare smiled

I bent down and kissed her. I looked into her gorgeous blue eyes as I pulled away and noticed they still had life in them, but also hurt and pain as well. I knew the hurt and pain will go away with time.

"Thank you Eli, for letting me sleep, I'm feeling a little better. I'm still tired so I'm going to go back to sleep they should sleep all night but if they don't please wake me up, they're done eating do you wanna take Elizabeth?"

"Sure" I said taking her from Clare. "Come to Daddy." I then took her to her crib and laid her down. I looked at the poster near her crib and looked at the little tiny hand prints and I remembered how long it took us to wipe the ink off the hospital said not to use paint and gave us an ink pad.

I then went back to check on Clare and Adam. Adam was sleeping so I went into our room to see if Clare was sleeping and she was.

"Hey Adam I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to lie down with Clare we've all had a long day." I told him

"Go ahead I'll see you tomorrow"

"You two can sleep in the basement if you want." I told them.

"Sure that'll be fine. Mom I have the couch."

"Good night"

I lied in bed next to Clare holding her, thinking how happy I was that today was Friday I wouldn't have to worry about anyone saying things about Clare and I can now do my best to make her happy. I then drifted off to sleep.
