Eli's Point of View:
"Hey guys.. Why don't we you know, mess with her a little." KC suggested with a chuckle.
I quickly looked down at the phone surprised.
"Mess with, Clare?" I asked, I paused a little. "Guys.. Don't you think I've given her enough already?"
"Uh no! If anything you've been super easy on, Clare than you have to other girls." Owen exclaimed.
I sighed heavily before speaking."I'm not gonna do it guys. I'm done messing around with her." I confessed.
"What's with the change of heart, bro? You just said that you can't stand her." Fitz asked confused.
I sighed and continued to lie,
"I mean I just can't anymore, there isn't much I can do in a wheelchair anyway guys." I said.
There was a pause at the other end of the phone,
"Actually.. There is a lot more you can do." Dave said.
At that moment I felt my heart drop, of course they would find some sort of loop hole throughout this. Clare just couldn't catch a goddamn break anymore.
If anything, I just wanted her to not deal with these assholes.
If anything, I just want her to pretty much not deal with me.
Alli's Point of View:
I found myself walking along a familiar road.
Memories flashing back to when I would sneak down this familiar road to see him.
The endless fits of giggles and loud cackles echoing in the memories.
I smiled to myself as I found myself in front of his home.
Drew's home.
The house still stood two stories high, with its white brick.
The flowers still bloomed a pretty red and blue around the house, Audra must still do her gardening thing.
As I walked along the path leading to the front door, I looked around the front porch, remembering how Audra and Omar had taken pictures of me and Drew when Drew had asked me to the big winter dance.
I smiled at the fond memory as I knocked quickly on the front door.
A few moments later I found Audra standing before me, a grimace on her face.
"Can I help you?" Audra sneered.
Of course Audra would only blame me for her son's behavior.
I longed for the days when she liked me for making Drew happy.
Now she just glares and sneers in my way.
"I uhm.. I wanna see Drew." I stammered, looking down at my shoes.
Audra huffed and walked up the stairs, after a few minutes, she came back down to retrieve me.
"Drew said you can go up to his room. No funny business or I'll have the police come and take you off our property." Audra said lowly.
I nodded my head feverishly before bounding up the stairs.
As I walked down the familiar hall I passed by Adam's room, I stopped and stared at his closed door.
There was a STOP! DON'T ENTER. sign on his door, I smiled remembering his little quirks.
My smile fading as I remembered he no longer was here, his quirks and personality gone as his body.
I sighed and proceeded down the hall to Drew's room, before I even knocked Drew opened the door.
"What the hell do you want, Alli?" Drew scoffed, crossing his arms across his burly chest.
I placed my hands on my hips and looked him in the eye seriously."I came here for Fiona's diary. I know you took it and I want it back." I said firmly.
Clare's Point of View:
"I was devastated. Both Randall and I had wanted children badly. We considered adoption, but the wait was too long, five to ten years before adopting a child and receiving the child. I about gave up hope, Randall and I were getting into arguments and fights constantly. We got to the point where Randall never really came home anymore. I suspected a affair going on, but I never questioned him." Helen explained, taking a deep breath.
My heart was beating faster and faster, something worse was coming our way in the story.
"Eventually, Randall and I split up, he never came home one day and a couple months later, I received a divorce paper in the mail asking for my signature. Randall had explained he was indeed having an affair with a woman named Margaret. Randall said that Margaret could have children unlike myself, he said they were expecting a child, a girl." Helen said, she looked over at Darcy.
I looked at Darcy and Darcy had sat frozen, unable to speak.
Helen then continued on with the story.
"I tried to date men here and there, but it wasn't the same. I was depressed and lonely, all I wanted was a husband and children. That's all I ever wanted. Years continued to pass and eventually I received a phone call. It was from an adoption agency. They told me that Randall and Margret had been killed in a car accident and their daughters were at the adoption agency." Helen explained.
My heart dropped and I looked at Helen who was staring at both me and Darcy.
"Our.. Our parents were Randall and Margret?" Darcy choked out.
Helen raised a hand and continued to speak.
"The next morning I went to the agency and spoke with the agent, she told me my name was on the will of Randall and Margret's to adopt their daughters, Darcy Sofia and Clare Diana." Helen told us with a small smile.
"Although there was a mishap." Helen whispered, looking over at me.
"They didn't have you at the agency, Clare. You were at a foster home while Darcy was at the agency." Helen murmured.
I couldn't speak.
I couldn't say anything.
I couldn't comprehend this madness.
"I asked if they could bring Clare back, but it was too late, you were in some foster home in Vancouver while Darcy was here in Toronto. Thus, I adopted Darcy when she was four years old. Oh.. I still remember little Darcy sitting there in the chair, holding a broken Barbie in her hand and saying all the words she knew." Helen reminisced with a smile.
I let out a snort and looked over at Darcy who had a huge smile on her face.
"Darcy eventually grew up to know me as her mother, all traces of Randall and Margret gone from her memory. Although, I always wondered about you, Clare. Constantly calling the agency asking if you were up for adoption yet, you weren't though." Helen said glumly.
I sighed and looked down, fiddling with my fingers.
"That's when recently, I had received a call from the agency, they had you, Clare. Your foster parents, Thomas and Elizabeth had died in a house fire whilst you were at school. When I proceeded to adopt you, the agent had told me that you indeed have HIV." Helen whispered.
I gulped and looked up at Helen, who was staring at me with sad eyes.
"You had contracted HIV from Margret, seemed like Margret had gotten it from other men after giving birth to Darcy. The agent had told me that you had until you were eighteen to live, you could possibly make it to nineteen or twenty if you were lucky, but nothing past twenty." Helen admitted.
I nodded my head.
I had already known this, I knew I had gotten HIV from my mother, but I always thought it was from Elizabeth, not Margret.
We all sat there in silence, Helen's words eating at us.
"So.. That's why you hated it so much when I bashed on, Clare. Because we were actually sister and sister." Darcy asked Helen.
Helen nodded and looked at both of us.
Darcy stood up before me, her eyes holding regret and sadness.
"Clare.. I..I-" Darcy was quickly cut off by me hugging her tightly, my arms wrapped around her neck and my face burrowed in her shoulder.
Darcy wrapped her arms around my waist and held me close.
"I'm so sorry." Darcy murmured in my ears, I could feel her tears run down her cheeks as well.
I actually had family.
All this time I believed I was alone.
That I was alone from the time that Thomas and Elizabeth had died.
But now I knew that I had a sister.
I had someone.
Eli's Point of View:
After I finished talking with KC, Owen, Fitz and Dave, I hung up Jenna's phone and held it out to her waiting hand.
I could even tell by her face that she was still pissed I hadn't told her about my situation."Here." I said glumly, placing the phone in Jenna's awaiting hand.
Jenna shoved the phone in her bag and slung it across her shoulder, she looked at me as she crossed her arms across her chest.
"Anything else you'd like to tell me before I go?" Jenna sneered.
Of course, she's still obviously pissed.
I rolled my eyes and scoffed."Come on, Jenna. Get over it already." I scoffed, looking up at her with serious eyes.
Jenna threw her arms in the air exasperated.
"Get over it? You're PARALYZED, Eli! How can I possibly get over that?" Jenna exclaimed loudly.
Then reality hit me.
Of course Jenna wouldn't be able to get over this, her boyfriend was paralyzed.
Any girl would be angry or worried over that.
I just looked down and started fiddling with my IV in my hand.
"You're not going to be able to drive me around, or see me cheerlead or walk to me class.. You're not going to be able to go parties. So many things are going to change now, Eli. I don't like change." Jenna murmured, her eyes hold seriousness as she spoke.
Then suddenly, I remembered Clare's words to me.
"Just because you're not gonna be able to walk doesn't change you as a person, Eli. You'll still be the same guy in your heart. Not able to walk won't change that." Clare had told me nights ago.
I looked up at Jenna and sat up straight.
"Just because I can't walk doesn't change who I am, Jenna. I'm still your boyfriend. I'm still the guy you love. I'm not gonna change heart wise." I explained to Jenna.
Jenna scoffed and looked at me like I was crazy.
"That nerd is filling your head with nonsense isn't she?" Jenna asked crazily.
I groaned loudly.
"For the last fucking time, her name is, CLARE. Not nerd. Not freak. Just Clare. Stop calling her a nerd for just being smart. Maybe if you had half the brain she does, then maybe guys would give you the time of day, Jenna!" I exclaimed annoyed by her antics and name calling.
Jenna looked at me oddly and took a step back from me.
"What the hell has gotten into you, Eli? Where the hell is all of this coming. You're basically saying that you'd choose her over me." Jenna accused with a sour face.
You know, when I actually thought about it.
When I actually thought about choosing Clare over Jenna.
It made actual sense.
In a situation of where I was forced to choose Clare or Jenna.
In a heartbeat, I'd choose Clare.
"You know what, Jenna? I would choose Clare over you." I sneered in Jenna's direction.
If steam could come out someone's ears, they would come out of Jenna's.
"If this is what that stupid nerd is turning you into, tell her that she better watch her fucking back." Jenna spat before turning on her heel and leaving the room in a huff.
"Fuck." I mumbled as I leaned back into my pillows.
I had gotten Clare into some deep shit.
"What had I gotten Clare into?" I asked myself.
Drew's Point of View:
I groaned loudly."I don't have, Fiona's diary." I lied whilst rolling my eyes.
"You're lying." Alli accused, her small face scrunched up.
"I don't have time for this." I mumbled before shutting the door in her face.
Not even five seconds later I heard a rap at the door.
"Open up." Alli demanded.
I sighed and grabbed a bag of weed off my dresser and opened the door, waving the bag in front of Alli's face.
"Will this get you to leave?" I asked teasingly.
"That's not funny, Andrew." Alli spat using my full name, she grabbed the bag of weed and threw it on my bed before marching in and looking around. "Now where is the diary?" Alli asked again.
I shrugged.
"I really don't have time for this, Alli. Honestly, I don't." I told her.
Alli sighed and sat down on the edge of his bed.
"Hey, on my way here, I saw that Eli's house was blocked off, yellow caution tape and everything. Do you know what happened?" Alli asked in a feeble attempt to change things around.
I gulped and looked at Alli, not wanting to inform her that Bullfrog had accidentally killed himself by falling on his own knife, so instead I grabbed the bag of weed off my bed and shoved it far in my dresser drawer.
"Come on, Drew. Tell me." Alli pleaded.
"Why do you want to know anyway? You don't care about, Eli." I sneered at Alli.
Alli sighed.
"Clare does. Clare should know. I'll tell her." Alli finally said. I snorted.
"Of course Clare should know. Clare just shouldn't get involved with the shit Eli's in." I muttered to myself.
"She's already involved enough, Drew." Alli whispered. I sighed and spun around, facing Alli.
"His dad is dead okay? He tried to attack me while I was there. Cece winded up saving me and now has to deal with all of that shit." I explained briefly, not wanting go into detail about it all."Oh.." Alli murmured, looking off into a different direction."And the funny thing is, Cece didn't care that I had called her so many awful things before. She still saved me and treated me like a son. I just don't get it." I said softly.
Alli smiled a bit at me.
"She's a loving woman, Drew. She loved Adam. She'll love you." Alli whispered.
I rolled my eyes."Of course you wouldn't understand, you'd change this into some love fest." I muttered.
Alli looked at me confused.
"All I did was smile, Drew. You know 'smiling'? The thing you do when you're happy?" Alli said.
I didn't say anything, I just started picking up things around my room and shoving it in my closet or under my bed.
"Of course you don't know how to smile, you forgot how to smile since you're life became oh so sad." Alli sneered.
I looked at her and dropped the clothes in my hands."What?" I asked her confused.
Alli stood up and headed for the door."You know what? I'm leaving. But you go ahead and keep Fiona's diary. Maybe when you see the stuff she wrote about you in there, you'll realize how much of an asshole you've changed into." Alli spat.
With that, Alli quickly left my house with the click of her heels.
I picked up Fiona's diary which was under my pillow and I flipped through it, seeing all her writing, but I had caught my name in there a couple times as well.
Darcy's Point of View:
I carefully knocked on Clare's bedroom door while holding a glass of water and a couple pills in my other hand.
"Clare?" I asked softly as I opened the door slowly.
I noticed Clare lift her head up to show her sweaty red face.
She was obviously having another one of her moments.
"I uh.. I heard you coughing and I thought I'd bring you your pills." I murmured nervously as I held them out for her to take.
"What are you doing?" Clare asked with a small weak smile.
"Don't laugh at me!" I said with a chuckle as I looked at Clare. "I wanna be that big sister I never tried to be." I whispered.
Clare didn't say anything, she just stared at the pills in my hand.
"You know.. If you let me." I paused. "I'm sorry for everything that I've done. How I've treated you was horrible. I wanna start over on the sibling relationship." I smiled genuinely down at Clare. "What do you say?" I asked softly, biting my lip.
Clare then grabbed the water and pills from my hands, she swallowed the pills with some water and looked up at me with a smile.
"I say this water isn't cold enough." Clare teased.
I chuckled.
"Thanks." I said softly.
"Sure." Clare said with a smile as she placed the water on her end table.
As I walked towards the door, I looked back at Clare.
"Goodnight." I whispered.
Clare looked at me and smiled.
"Goodnight, Darce."
As I left the room, I ran into Helen.
"I think its great you're giving it another chance." Helen murmured.
I shrugged.
"I don't wanna be the bad guy.. Or sister." I whispered looking down."Oh honey. You're not." Helen whispered.
"Yeah.." I said awkwardly as I backed away from Helen. "Goodnight, Helen." I said before walked quickly down the hall and into my own room.
Clare's Point of View:
I quickly woke up to the sound of something falling and hitting my floor, I looked down to see that my phone was vibrating and had fallen, I picked it up and without seeing who was calling me, I answered.
"Hello?" I asked drowsily.
"Uh.. Hey Clare." Eli replied nervously.
Eli was calling me.
Although, why would he cal me at four in the morning?
"Uhm.. Why are you calling me?" I asked.
"I called to warn you to watch out for my group of friends at school.. Okay?" Eli warned.
I sighed and rolled my eyes."Why is your little group of snobs mad at me now? What did I do wrong this time?" I asked.
"I'm just saying." Eli said, and then paused. "Just watch your back okay?" Eli warned yet again.
I looked at the phone confused, but shook my head.
"Uh.. Okay then. Thanks?" I said confused.
"Yeah.. And uhm.. Can you do me a favor, Clare?" Eli asked.
I nodded.
"Sure. What is it?" I asked.
I heard Eli chuckle nervously.
"If it isn't too much to ask.." Eli trailed off.
I laughed at his nervousness.
"Just spit it out, Eli." I told him.
"Will you stay on the phone with me, until I fall asleep?" Eli asked in a small voice.
I smiled widely and didn't say anything to his question.
"I'm sorry. That was too much wasn't it?" Eli asked exasperated.
I giggled to myself.
"No it wasn't, Eli. Of course I'll stay on the phone with you until you fall asleep." I told him while I laid down on my bed.
The night continued as me and Eli had a long conversation on the phone.
I guess you could say, I was pretty darn happy.
