Hey guys! Here is chapter 13! Oh my, 53 reviews! Lets try to make it to 100! :)


Clare

I was finally back among the living. Eli visited me everyday. I was surrounded with flowers and cards that read 'Get well soon'.

Someone knocked on my door, and I motioned for Peter to come in. I hadn't talked to him for a long time.

"How are you feeling?" He asked.

"Good. Fitz is in jail for the attempted murder," I said. Peter nodded.

"The doctors said it's a miracle that you survived the stabbing." I laughed and so did Peter. "Well, someone special is here to see you." I cocked my head, then Darcy walked in. I hadn't seen her in forever.

"Darcy!" I said. She came over to me and gave me a big hug.

"Glad to see your alive!" Darcy said. I laughed at that. I was glad I was alive too.

"Thanks Darcy. So I thought you were going to be in Kenya longer."

"They let me come back for a few weeks. Besides, I cant let my little sis sit here all alone." We both laughed and Peter started to look uncomfortable, on a count that him and Darcy are ex's. "I like your new hair, by the way."

"Thanks."

"You look like a whole new person! I'm impressed." We both laughed. It was great to see Darcy again.

"I should get going," Peter said. Darcy threw her hands up in the air.

"I really wished he wouldn't be so angry with me. It was a great opportunity to go to Kenya and help," Darcy said, angrily. I nodded my head, not sure what to say.

"Maybe give him time?" I suggested.

"He had time to get over it for, like, a year. I don't know what else to do." Darcy looked like she was about to cry. She still had some feelings for him.

"I don't know, Darcy. You do know that Peter had… problems after you left, right?" I asked. Darcy cocked her head. "He didn't tell you, did he?"

"Spill, Clare." I sighed.

"Well, Peter started to date Mia right away. And then, he got into meth. It took him a while get off of it. I thought you already knew."

"How could I know! I was in Kenya! Ugh!"

"Sorry, Darcy! But I thought I should tell you that," I said. Darcy buried her face in her hands.

"Ugh, Peter is messed up."

"Not anymore though! He fine now. He is in College, he works at the Dot. C'mon Darcy!" Darcy shook her head and finally looked at me. She looked stressed already.

"I really wished I hadn't of gone to Kenya now. I could of helped Peter to actually get on the right track." She buried her face in her hands again.

"Darcy, this isn't your fault. Peter chose to do this." I sighed. I was really hoping Darcy would just drop this.

"Yes it is. I should of never gone to Kenya."

"But Kenya is a great opportunity for you! It would be such a waste to give up now."

"I guess your right."


When I finally was out of the hospital, Darcy and I had a nice girls day out. It felt good to hang out with a girl. Me and Alli sort of went separate ways now. And I was happy to see my sister.

"So, have you settled things with Peter?" I asked. She looked down at her feet.

"I tried calling him. But he doesn't want anything to do with me anymore, I think," Darcy explained.

"I highly doubt that. It took the longest of time for him to get over you." Darcy smiled.

"Really?" She asked. I nodded.

"Wow."


I walked to the Dot Sunday afternoon. I saw Peter working there and I sat down by the counter.

"Hey, Pete," I said. He nodded to me. "Happy Darcy is back for a little while?"

"Sure," He said unenthusiastically.

"Peter, will you at least talk to her?" I asked.

"She's the one who left me."

"Cant you think of anybody but yourself?" I asked. As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I regretted saying it.

"Thanks, Clare," He said, and went in back.

How was I suppose to get them together, if they wouldn't even talk?


Hey, guys! Sort of a filler chapter for now. I'm still coming up with some ideas for more Eclare stuff. Don't forget to review, review, review! :)
