Chapter 22: 'Bored'?

Clare's point of view:

Shit! Someone caught me and Eli making out past curfew. The bad thing was, Eli was shirtless and I was dressed in skimpy clothing. This is just what I needed. I can't believe we got caught. Eli told me we wouldn't. But here we are getting busted by someone. But there was something about this person's voice. It didn't sound like Mr. Simpson. In fact it sounded quite familiar. Like I had just heard it 2 hours ago. Eli slowly rolled off of me and onto his back beside me. I then looked up to see who the 'cock block' was. Who I saw was definately surprising. I never thought it would be them,but it was. But they do seem the type to sneek out past curfew. There stood Bianca and Fitz staring down at us. Not to sound bitchy, but why did they have to screw up my time with Eli?

"What are you doing here?" Eli asked sounding slightly angry.

"I could ask you the same thing." Fitz replied smirking.

"Well I was here making out with my GIRLFRIEND when you two had to stop us." Eli replied. Bianca looked surprised and Fitz looked a little...hurt? Wait why would Fitz care. Then Bianca let out an evil cackle.

"Girlfriend? But Elijah don't you remember the time where we snuck into the pool and-" Eli cut her off mid sentence. I was thnkful because I didn't really want to hear what was going to be said from Degrassi's very own slut. I swear this girl is the poster child of STD's and teen pregnacy.

"Shut up Bianca. We had a one night thing and it meant nothing." He growled at her. So he hooked up with Degrassi's slut, huh? Intrusting.

"So Clare you're really in a relationship with my cousin?" Fitz asked me.

"Yeah. So?" I asked.

"You really shouldn't trust him he's only after one thing" Okay I was starting to get really tired of this. I have never witnessed this behavior from him before. Especially in front of Eli. Was Fitz possibly jealous?

"oh and you're not?" I asked sarcastically.

"All I'm saying is that you would just get hurt if you were his girlfriend." By then Eli had risen to his feet and was standing almost chest to chest with Fitz, he had on the most menacing glare he could muster to try to look intimidating. To bad that Fitz was about 4 inches taller then Eli.

"Shut the fuck up Mark. I could never, would never hurt Clare and you know that!" Eli spat angrily as his voice started slightly rising.

"Yeah you say that now but when the one month mark hits you tend to get a little 'bored' with the girl you have." I couldn't believe what I was hearing. So he is just here for the ride and would just dump me down the line.

"That's from when I was a player. I've changed. Clare changed me into something better. Plus I haven't even looked at another girl since I met Clare." What he just said made my heart melt. So he really does care for me. Fitz laughed a fake cold hearted laugh while clapping his hands.

"Oh so you've just magically "changed" Eli? Once a player always a player. And have you ever considered that Clare wanted to date a real man? Perhaps someone like...me?" Wow! the Fitz I always knew was humble and sweet. But this...this was just vile. So these were his true colors? Well it shouldn't really surprise me since I'm always waiting for someone to show their darker side. And I think I just found his. Eli's face then contorted into something I haven't even seen before. His face seemed like a cross from extreamly pissed and psychotic. Like if he didn't restrain he would do something he would regret.

"Yeah right. Like she would ever go for someone like you." Eli scoffed at the taller boy. I can't believe I'm the person they're fighting over. I can't believe I'm in the middle. I can't believe I'm helpless and can't do anything. But maybe this is something that is supposed to happen. Maybe this is God's plan. Everything happenes for a reason right? If this is in fact God's plan, it sucks ass. Not to be disrespectful or anything but it does. If God loves me so much why does he make my life so hard? Why did he make Lucas hit and rape me, why did he make my sister leave everything and run to Kenya, why did he make my parents fall out of love, and why did he have to have two testosterone filled teenage boys fighting over me? What did I do to deserve this? I was just scared of what would happen next between the two boys. Bianca just seemed to be enjoying all of this.

"Well whatever. But Clare if you ever get the need for a real man call me" Fitz replied directing the last sentence towards me. He then walked away with the tramp Bianca behind him. But what did he mean by Eli usually tends to get 'bored' with girls? I might as well ask him. He turned to me and his face softened when he looked me in the eyes. Eli then pulled me to his chest and hugged me tightly. I hugged back savoring the embrace. He then whispered in my ear, "Clare I'm so sorry you had to see that." I pulled back and looked into his eyes. I could tell he meant what he said. His green eyes showed it. But there was still that feeling that kept bugging me. That one question. So I decided to ask it.

"What did Fitz mean by you tend to get 'bored' with girls?" I asked. I noticed his features grow cold and knew we were about to have a heart to heart talk.

"What he meant was that when I was a player I wouldn't keep a girl around for long. Like for only one or two months tops. And when I would get 'bored' with said girl i would scout for someone else who sparked my interest. So I would basically dump the girl and look for someone more interesting." He said looking at the grass likie it was the most fascinating thing in the world. What he said shattered my heart. So he's gonna keep me for a month and then leave me out in the cold.

"So what you're saying is that you're just gonna dump me in the future?" I asked my voice cracking towards the middle. His eyes widened and he immediatey took hold of my hand.

"No Clare what I meant was-" I cut him off before he could answer fully.

"Save it Eli. I knew this was too good to be true." With that I started walking away. He kept on calling my name and I kept ingnoring him. I knew he was following me. Suddenly i felt a strong grip on my right arm. It was hard enough to keep me in place but soft enough to not hurt me. I could feel Eli's eyes burning into my head. But i kept my ground. I refused to look at him.

"Look at me." Eli said. But I couldn't. I just couldn't. He then lightly touched my chin and brought my face to look at his. His eyes pleading me to listen to him.

"Clare what I meant was I did that when I was a player. I would never hurt you."

"How do you know that? You could find some better offer. someone way better then me. then you would go live happily ever after with her while I'm left out in the cold." I confessed.

"Is that what you think? Jesus Clare. I won't ever hurt you. You wanna know how I know?" All I could do was nod at this point.

"I can't hurt you Clare because I love you too much. I couldn't live with myself if I knew that I somehow hurt you." I looked into his emerald green eyes and I knew he was telling the truth. I knew he loved me.

"I love you too" I replied tearing up. He then leaned in and pressed his lips to mine in a needy fashion. He pulled away and put his fore head on mine. I couldn't believe it. He was mine and I was his.

"It's pretty late I think I should take you to your dorm." He said. All I did was nod and grabbed his hand. He interlocked our fingers and I smiled. On the walk back I realized that no matter how dysfunctional our realationship was, I have found my match.
