ch 17 is here wooo! i don't like this chapter at all but the story must go on. lol thank you all for your reivews and compliments and questions about whats going to happen next!

Clementine's phone began to buzz waking her up. she opened her eyes reaching her hand out grabbing onto her phone and picked it up reading the notification to see Nick sent her a message asking if she was okay. Clementine rolled onto her back holding her phone above her head responding to his message [yes Nick, I just thought about my parents and sorta lost it, i'm sorry I left without saying a word] "I hope he falls for the excuse." Clementine said to herself and sat her phone down. she got out of bed walking over to the mirror removing her makeup and changed into some casual clothing which was a random shirt with her red Brooklyn sweater over the top, and a pair of black sweat bottoms. she walked downstairs to see everyone was watching tv

"Hey sleepy head you doing okay?" Lee called out and everyone attention now focused on her. Clementine smiled

"Yes, sorry about my break down earlier. I was just missing mom and dad." she said walking over to Carley and Lee sitting in-between them

"we understand Clementine, by the way Nick stopped by and left you a gift before he went to the hospital." she said and Clementine's eyes opened wide.

"hospital what for? he didn't tell me he was at the hospital."

"he went to go get his arm taken care of." she said in a calm way. Clementine nodded and stood up walking into the next room to find a big bouquet of red roses and huge teddy bear. she walked over to the beddybear sitting on its leg and picked up the roses lifting her phone to take a selfie sending him a thank you message. the doorbell rang and Clementine stood.

"i'll get it!" she shouted and walked over the door to see Luke standing on the other side. "Luke? what are you doing here?" she asked "im sorry if i look like crap."

"you still look pretty Clementine, can I come in?" he asked waiting for Clementine to step to the side. once she stepped aside Luke walked in and waved to everyone.

"thanks Luke, did you want to talk in private or around the family?" she asked crossing her arms together.

"in private please."

"alright." Clementine walked him upstairs to her room he took a seat at her desk and she sat on her bed. "so what's up?"

"Sarah and I spoke to Nick earlier about leaving to New York."

"why would you do that?" Clementine asked.

"because Sarah, and I both know how you feel about Nick, and we would rather him stay here with you. He's been a lot happier these days and-"

"I'm sorry to cut you off Luke, but I think Nick should go. I don't want him to stay here. He's worked hard to get where he is now." Clementine bit her lip turning her head away from Luke's gaze.

"oh come on Clem, I can hear it in your voice. you want him to stay." Luke spoke in a calm manor placing his hand on her shoulder. "Finals for you is coming up this week, and you wont get to see Nick. I think you should tell him how you feel before he ends up leaving you behind."

"Luke, I already told you i'm fine with Nick leaving. I want to see his dreams come true, why do you think I helped him?" she asked turning her attention back to Luke.

"Because you like him." Luke replied while wiggling his eyebrow. Clementine couldn't help but laugh at Luke he was a funny guy always making funny faces. she stood up.

"No silly, because he deserves to be happy and succeed. everyone has a dream and if they work hard enough they can achieve that dream." Clementine walked Luke downstairs. "I have to get ready to go to dinner with everyone here. Do you know when Nick is leaving?"

"we graduate Friday night, and he should be set to leave Saturday morning. why don't you go see him sometime before them and spend time with him before he goes. I'll let you go now. see you later." Luke gave Clementine a hug before he left. Clementine closed the door and sighed heavily before heading back up to her room applying fresh makeup on and dressing in something nice. she did this because all her visitors wanted to take nice pictures of her while they ate and record videos. Once dinner was over Clementine left to go see a movie with everyone and came home going to bed.
