Chapter Twenty-Five: Returned (Clare's POV)

His lips were pressed to mine feverishly. I tried to keep up with the kisses, but I couldn't. It was to fast for me, not slow enough that I could engage into them. I softly pushed KC away, we were behind a school bus kissing, more like making out. I could see the faint lines of sweat on his red polo. "Sorry KC." I murmured. I knew what was to come next. I was used to this. I saw the anger build up in his chocolate brown eyes and he sneered. "What have I been telling you Clare?" KC growled. I whimpered. "Stop whimpering like you're a damn dog. It's pathetic." KC scowled, his face close to mine. When I didn't respond with an answer, KC grabbed my wrists and slammed me against the bus. The only time in my life that I wished for a officer to walk by, to punish KC for hurting me. But of course the only one to know of this is Fitz. Fitz finds it hilarious that KC has every opportunity to hit me when he can, Fitz says he wished he had that one for the tranny, Adam. I hated when they called Adam dirty names behind his back, he didn't deserve it. "I asked you a question, Clare." KC sneered, I tried to open my mouth, to say some words to calm him down but nothing came out. "Little bitch." KC sneered again, I felt my body be slammed into the exterior of the yellow bus. "Hey!" Someone shouted. I looked away from KC's eyes to emeralds that glistened with worry. "What the hell are you doing to her?" Eli asked, his voice on the verge of anger. I took the opportunity to stare at Eli, to see that he was a bit different, he was taller and his hair had recently been cut, but stayed the same way he prefers. He was wearing the senior uniform of blue polo, tan slacks & suede shoes. I had no idea that today was his returning day. He seemed well from were I was. His eyes didn't have that maniac stare in them and his face seemed to hold compassion and worry. KC did let go of my wrists, my automatic response to rub the red wrists came into action. KC glared at my from under his lashes, I was sure to be beaten to a pulp today. I gulped and continued to rub the red wrists, I suspected that Eli would walk off, instead I felt his presence. "Are you okay?" Eli asked softly. I looked up, his emeralds still holding concern. "Yeah. I best be going." I mumbled, I slung my bag over my shoulder and brushed past him. Eli stood where he was, he didn't chase after me like I longed him too. He did none of those things besides standing there rigid like an idiot.

My last class for today. English. Of course like my other English courses, this one was advanced senior courses, so I was bumped up into the class. I took my regular seat and pulled my notebook and pencil out. Opening the notebook flap and started doodling aimlessly. I did hear others join the class, but I didn't care at the moment. I even heard someone take a seat in front of me and the class going dead silent. I looked up to see that my desk was the only one closest to Eli, who had joined the class. "Pathetic." Eli mumbled. "Alright class. Move your desks back where they were. Elijah won't hurt anyone. Right?" Mrs. Veil asked. Eli merely nodded and quipped. "Sure. It's not on my agenda today." Some of the class smiled, others giggled. I smiled slightly and returned to my doodles. "Alright so everyone please pass your essays up to the front please! There due today!" Mrs. Veil said enthusiastically. I quickly pulled the paper from my notebook and passed it up to Eli. Eli didn't pass the paper up, instead he sat there and read it. "Pass it up, Eli." I whispered. Eli looked up at me and smiled, passing the paper up. "That was good Clare." Eli whispered, I felt his cool breath on my face. I tried my best not to force myself upon him at that moment. I was too pure to do anything that irrationally.

Like always, I sat with KC and Fitz at the Dot, at our table, Fitz was trying to trip kids on their way to their seats. KC also helped as well. At one point, when I was eating, I glanced up to see Adam and Eli were sitting and eating with each other, all smiles. I slightly smiled myself, until I felt a sharp pinch on my hand, I looked down to see KC had my skin between his grimy fingernails. "Don't look at those freaks. You already have one coming after this morning's incident." KC sneered in my ear. I gulped and nodded, awaiting for my punishment to arrive. Although out of the blue I hear, "CLARE!" A high pitch voice screeched. I looked up to see it was Alli, her hair was cut short to her neck and she was wearing some what non revealing clothes. I smiled and jumped up to hug her. "Oh god! Alli!" I shouted. I could see from the corner of my eye that Peter was eying us weirdly, but shook his head and continued to wipe the tables. "I didn't know you were flying in! Why didn't you call?" I asked. "I wanted it to be a surprise. My aunt and uncle think that I deserve to go back to Degrassi!" I squealed and hugged Alli again. "Who are you sitting with?" Alli asked. "I'm dying for a mocha café." Alli said while rubbing her flat stomach. I giggled and grabbed Alli's hand, leading her to where Fitz and KC were. "Guys! Look Alli's back!" I squealed. I was the only one to smile, Fitz had on look of disgust, KC was somewhat shocked and pissed, Alli was surprised, her mouth making an O. I even glanced back to see Adam's wide blue eyes as he eyed us and Eli's emeralds held somewhat of happiness and concern for either me or Alli. But I knew that it was meant for me.

"What have I told you!" KC growled. I felt another blow to my face. I fell down hard to the floor, my brain rattling against the skull. I closed my eyes, I wanted it to stop. Why didn't it stop? "I can't believe you talked to that basket case!" KC shouted, he lifted his foot and I felt a hard kick to the stomach. I winced in pain, this was by far the worst beating by him. "I'm sorry!" I gasped, holding my stomach as if to stop the beating. "Your sorry what!" KC growled. "I'm sorry! I'll never talk to Eli ever again! I love you!" I whispered. KC laughed a sinister laugh. "Yeah you better, bitch." With that KC had left me against the wall in the alley behind the Dot. I held my stomach and let the tears flow. "Why?" I gasped through tears. "What did I do so wrong? I've been following you my whole life!" I yelled to the sky. "Your suppose to help me!" I shouted again. I felt the tears being thick and hot run down my face. I took in shaky breaths. I wanted this all to end.. But it never would.
