Clare and Alli walked into Degrassi all dressed up. Clare was in a long slender black dress, bright red lipstick and hair delicately curled. They made their way into the gym as Alli ranted, "Oh my gosh! I can't believe Simpson granted us this formal. It's crazy. Look at everyone. We all look sophisticated." Alli and Clare giggled at Alli's last sentence as they went to the drink table. They both grabbed some punch when Alli asked, "So you never told me what happened. Weren't you supposed to come tonight with Eli?"

"Yeah well…" She tapped her cup nervously. Until an unexpected "Hey." Spoke behind her. She turned around slowly to see Eli dressed in his Marching band jacket and slacks. "What are you doing here?" She responded.

"You look beautiful... Well I just thought… We were planning on coming together. And I really need to talk to you. You won't answer my calls or texts. Anything." Eli said timidly.

"Eli… I told you. I just…" She couldn't finish her sentence, and just walked away. Alli watched Eli's crushed face drop before he stormed out of the room. Alli ran after Clare, "Clare! Clare! What happened there?"

"He… He and I…" Alli thought for a moment and her eyes widened instantly. "Clare! You didn't! Are you serious?"

She nodded. "And I've never felt more guilty. I came over right after I talked to Fitz. He made me realize how much Eli was pissing me off being everywhere I was. But he was being so sweet to me. And I fell for him last night. Then this morning… he proposed to run away and elope." Alli gave a saddened expression. "I really need some space. Then he will understand and we can go back to normal."

"Does Eli know that?" Alli whined. Clare stared at her feeling more worse than she did early that day when she was with Eli. When he proposed… "He didn't look good when you just left him there. And as he ran out." Clare bit her lip. "I'm going to go call him."

Eli ran out of the school feeling like his heart was just ripped from his chest. He slammed his fist on the hood of Morty out of anger. He stayed in that position for a bit, until he decided to get into Morty and drive. He slammed on the accelerator once he was on the highway. His stare grew intense on the road. Until his phone rang. He continued the same speed as he answered, but didn't speak. "Hello? Eli? Are you there?" Clare's soft voice said through the phone.

"Yeah…" Eli's voice broke in a whisper.

"Eli. Where are you? We need to talk." She said standing outside of the school in her jean jacket, that was over her beautiful dress. He didn't respond. "Eli…"

His voice was sad as he spoke. Tears dripping down his cheeks. "You made a promise to me, remember? That you would never leave me."

"Oh Eli." She choked out of her depress voice. "I'm sorry for everything I've put you through. That promise was meant to be broken because of me. Goodbye Clare." Eli said to her.

"Eli, what's that supposed to mean?" No answer. "Eli! Eli, answer me!"

Eli shut his phone dropping it somewhere on the floor of the hearse. Slowly pushing even more on the gas to speed up. He shut his eyes leaning his head back taking three deep breaths.

"Eli? Eli?" Clare pulled her phone away in horror. Staring at the "Call ended" sign. Alli walked up behind her, "Everything… Alright?"

Clare turned around revealing oncoming tears. "He… he told me… He was sorry. And that I broke a promise…" Alli went in for a hug as Clare finished. "And… it was meant to be broken."

Alli squeezed her tightly as she fell to the cold concrete ground. "Alli… I could hear the car in the background. He's in Morty. And going fast." Alli pulled her back into the hug. "Alli… I think… I think he's trying to ki—" The tears broke through before she could finish her sentence.

"Oh my god! Clare! Are you sure?" Alli rubbed her back in comfort. Clare wiped some of her tears away, "I think I know where he might be. We need a car though." She had dismay in her declaration.

Yeah, kind of a sad chapter. But Tomorrow, you'll learn everything this chapter leaves you at. Sort of. ahaha! Well I hoped you liked it! Cyber hugs for all Reviewers! Love you all! :*(^_^) ~Eli
