Clare

It was time. Time for her to leave us again. I would miss her. She had only been back for a few weeks, and she had to leave so suddenly.

"I'll miss you, Clare!" Darcy said. She was crying, and so was I.

"I'll miss you too!" We hugged for a moment then she grabbed her suitcase.

"Stay in touch!" She said. I nodded and she opened the door. Darcy looked back once, then closed the door. I sighed. It would be hard to not be able to see her for about 3 more months.

But then I remembered I still had Eli to deal with. Things had been a little awkward since the stabbing. We still talked, but not as much. Not talking to him was like not being able to talk at all. It was like loosing a part of me.

It was a fresh Monday morning. I walked to Degrassi and sat outside. I went over the homework that I had missed. It was my first day back, finally. I missed Adam and Eli. It was weird being back. Everyone looked at me differently, as if I was so fragile I could break at any moment.

Fitz wasn't back. Owen and Bianca seemed lost without him. Eli had told me that Fitz was drunk out of his mind when I was stabbed. What an idiot. He totally ruined his life now.

The bell rang and I walked inside. My stomach still hurt a little. The gash was still there, but you could barely see the other minor scars around it.

"Clare!" Mr. Simpson said. "Glad to have you back!" I smiled at him.

"Thanks," I said.

"If you need anything, just stop down at the office." I nodded and walked to my locker.

My locker was decorated with get well soon cards and welcome back signs. I smiled. Most of them were from Alli, Adam, and Eli.

"Claaare!" Someone said. I turned around to see Alli coming after me. She hugged me tightly. "Glad to see you all in one piece!" I laughed.

"I feel a lot better!" I said. Alli smiled.

"Glad to hear it! How was Darcy?" She asked.

"Darcy's good. I finally got her and Peter to talk." The bell rang and Alli waved to me. I waved back and headed for first period.

Eli

Clare was finally back. I looked all over for her in English. When she finally came in, she took her seat behind me. Her hair was shiny and she rubbed her stomach a bit. Her blue eyes looked tired.

"Hello, Clare," I said. Clare's eyes lit up.

"Hi, Eli," She replied.

"Meet me by my locker after school. I have somewhere to take you." She cocked her head. I laughed and then the bell rang. Ms. Dawes came in. She welcomed Clare back and then she got started with her lesson.

English finally ended and I went to my locker. I put my bag in it and closed it. And there stood Clare. She smiled at me and her bangs just covered her right eye.

"Ready?" I asked. She nodded and I took her hand. I led her to Morty and help her inside.

"So where are we off to?" She asked. I smiled.

"You'll see."

We were finally there. Clare looked out the window and gasped. This was my favorite place. The grass was tall and green and the sun just shined over the tall trees. The clearing had a few rocks ahead and there were piles of leaves.

"This is beautiful," Clare said.

"When Julia died, this was the only place where I could relax and think. When I thought I was going to loose you too, I came back here to think. I wanted to show you this place." Clare sat down in the grass. She looked amazed.

"I can see why you like it here. It's peaceful." I sat down next to her and took her hand.

"So how are you feeling?" I asked. She shrugged.

"Alright, I guess. My stomach just hurts a little bit," Clare answered. I nodded.

"I bet."

We sat there for a little bit. The sun started to set behind the trees and stars started to come up. Clare took deep breaths, taking in the scent. She closed her eyes and sighed. Clare moved closer to me and put her head on my shoulder. The stars were up now and it was getting dark.

"Should we head back?" I asked her.

"Not yet." She got up and walked forward. I followed after her. I had never really walked around here before.

Clare then stopped walking and her face went pale. She started to cough and she rubbed her head.

"Clare, are you alright?" I asked. She shook her head and she collapsed to the ground. "We're going home!" I grabbed her hand, but she wouldn't move. I looked down and she coughed blood.
