It Was Worth It In The End
Chapter 2
By Jiberty Fan
Author's Notes: If I owned "Degrassi" Declan and Holly J would be the power couple that they are and deserve to be and running "DegrassI" during their senior year. They also wouldn't be "On A Break." I liked having Holly J work at the Dot because there is more room for storylines and so she's not working at the country western restaurant. This takes place after Holly J and Declan's break up and is set during this season's current storylines. As far as writing fanfic goes, I am more concerned with content than I am with the length of a chapter or chapters. The character's thoughts are Italics. I own nothing. Thank you to those who reviewed the first chapter and added this story as a favorite. Please read and review.
Holly J sighed. Well, Declan's home and he still loves me. That was the easy part. Now comes the hard part. Breaking up with Sav without it being the main subject of the Anti-Grapevine. I know that won't happen but you can't deny your heart's true feelings forever either. The next school scandal has got to be just around the corner right? You'd better hope so.
Holly J went into the Dot and noticed that thankfully it wasn't as hectic as it normally is right after school. Maybe it's because of the rain.
"I never thought I'd see the day where Holly J would be late for work."
"It won't happen again, I promise Peter."
"It's okay, Holly J. Nobody is on time all the time, even you. You work hard anyone can see that."
With that Holly J got work. Please let this shift go by quickly.
Holly J takes a few orders and then starts to wipe down the tables and chairs. Peter notices how quiet and seemingly preoccupied Holly J seems to be.
"Is everything alright Holly J?"
"What do you mean Peter?"
"You are really quiet today."
You will know everything in a few hours.
"I've got a lot on my mind."
"Do you want to go home?"
"I need the money, Peter."
"You can always work on extra shift on the weekend, if you want. Go home. It's not that busy."
"If you insist."
"Hi Mom. It's me. Peter sent me home early. Can you come get me?"
Please don't ask me 20 questions about this.
"Are you okay? This isn't like you to come home early from work."
"It's not busy probably because of the rain today."
"Okay, I'll see you in a few minutes." Holly J sighed.
In another part of Toronto, Declan was in Fiona's apartment and pacing.
"If you don't stop pacing Declan, you're going to wear a hole in the floor. What's wrong?"
When she gets no response from Declan, Fiona probes further.
"You pacing and checking your cell phone every five seconds isn't nothing. Let me guess it has something to do with Holly J."
"It's none of your business, Fi."
"So it does have something to do with Holly J. Aw, you really are gaga for her, that's really romantic. That's why you're here right?"
"When did you become some kind of psychic?"
"Can you at least sit down? You haven't even told me what you thought about my apartment."
Mrs. Sinclair and Holly J had a quiet ride home which Holly J more than welcomed especially today.
As soon as Holly J got home she hung up her coat and headed to her room. She hoped Sav was on Skype because there was no way they were going to have this conversation at school since it was now literally a prison. Holly J opens her computer and logs into Skype and sees that Sav isn't logged in. She then texts him and asks to speak with him on Skype.
Holly J doesn't have to wait long for Sav to get on to Skype.
"Hey, Holly J. Your text said you wanted to talk on Skype."
Wow, that was quick. The faster this is over, the better.
"We need to talk."
"Yeah, you mentioned that. What's up?"
"Do you think we can end our agreement to date until the school year is over?"
There you go you said it.
"Holly J, what's wrong? I thought that everything was going great between us. Please don't tell me Declan is back in town trying to win you back and playing prince charming."
"Don't make Declan the scapegoat."
"So let me guess, Declan comes back into town and says a few words and gives you a few kisses and you're under his spell?"
Well, that is really what happened.
"We never made each other any promises. Remember no parents, no commitment?"
"Yeah, but, I thought that…"
"You wanted it to be more and more than I can give you."
"No, it's not that. It has everything to do with your so-called knight in shining armor coming back into town."
"Sav, I never meant to hurt you."
"Don't spare my feelings, you never cared for me. I was just a warm body that you would dump like a hot potato as soon as Mr. Moneybags came calling again. This is just great."
"Sav, I hope that we can still be friends."
"Save it, Holly J. I don't need a friend like you." Sav then disconnected from Skype. Holly J sighs.
"Holly J! Thank goodness, you're on Skype."
"What's the matter Fiona?"
"Declan is pacing and checking his phone every few minutes. I don't think my floors and I can take much more pacing. I think it has something to do with you even if he won't say why. I've never seen him like this about any girl before. Can you come over please?"
Aw, he's worried about us.
"I'll be there soon."
