CHAPTER SIX: THANK YOU, CLAY
Ellie was in her room listening to Clay Aiken and thinking about Jimmy. She didn't know what to do she was so confused so she did the only thing she could do in a crisis like this—she called her dad.
"Hi dad look I know you're busy in the army but remember all the contacts you made when you were a big record producer? I was wondering if you could get me a number…"Ellie said conspiratorally into the phone.
Ellie was so nervous she had been waiting all day for her guest to arrive. Her dad agreed to help her out with her crisis and got word out that he needed a certain someone to go help his daughter.
Then when she least expected it the doorbell rang. Ellie ran to the door. "Clay!"
"Hi you must be Eleanor" Clay Aiken smiled at her.
"Call me Ellie" she said shyly.
"May I come in?"
"Oh, of course! I'm so sorry about being so rude. I'm just nervous. Come in! Come in!"
Ellie couldn't believe it her absolute favorite musical artist actually showed up! She hadn't been accustomed to such royal treatment ever since her dad left the music industry in favor of needlessly joining the never-before-used Canadian army!
"So Ellie your dad tells me you're in love with two boys, and an angry mob is trying to kill one of them as we speak! Now I've been in a situation just like this and I just want you to know that's it's just so easy to just figure out who you love more and jump in front of them just before they are stoned to death for killing the most handsome man in Riverdale!"
"Oh Clay you're so right" Ellie smiled warmly. "Thank you for coming all the way to Canada just to talk to me about my boyfriend problems."
"Anytime Ellie you know how much I like to help my fans in need."
Clay Aiken and Ellie hugged tightly and then Clay left Degrassi!
Ellie ran to where the angry mob was just dissipating, terrified that she was too late since everyone looked bored and they were walking away from Jimmy, who was on the ground.
"JIMMY NO YOU CAN'T BE DEAD I WILL NOT ALLOW IT!" Ellie shrieked. "JIMMY JIMMY NO! NO NOT JIMMY!" Ellie ran up and hugged Jimmy to her, crying and screaming and generally not having a very good time!
