It Was Worth It In The End
Chapter 3
By Jiberty Fan
Author's Notes: If I owned "Degrassi", Holly J and Declan would be the power couple that they are and deserve to be. I also know that a lot of people are talking about "Love Lockdown" at the moment. I don't think that what we saw on the show was rape which is a very serious issue and certainly not an issue that should ever be dealt with lightly. I think that if Holly J didn't want Declan on some level that she would've pushed him away and really defended herself in some way but, she didn't. I don't think it's ever a good idea to prop up one character while destroying another character. I don't like seeing Declan being written as the bad guy when he's not. I also don't think Holly J wants to be thought of as someone who's cheated on their boyfriend which has more to do with her reputation than anything that remotely involves Sav. It's okay if anyone reading this doesn't agree with me as everyone is entitled to their own opinion. This is just my opinion on what happened during "Love Lockdown" and I am sure we will get more answers next week. I also have to say that Declan does know how get and keep people talking. As a writer, I am more concerned with the quality than the quantity of a chapter or chapters. The character's thoughts are in Italics. Thank you to everyone who has reviewed and added this story as a favorite. I own nothing. Please read and review.
Holly J didn't know if her mother would let her take the car to visit the Coyne's or in reality just Declan with money being tight and gas still being high. Declan's worth it and you know it.
"Mom, can I go over to Fiona's?" I'd better leave Declan out of this.
"Why?"
"Just to hang out."
"I guess that it will be alright."
"Really?"
"You sound surprised, Holly J."
"I know that money is tight right now."
"You worry too much, you're 17. You've worked hard; you deserve to have a little fun."
"Thanks."
Holly J then made the ride over to Declan and Fiona's in record time in part because if by fate it had stopped raining and become a beautiful night which Holly found to be fitting because for the first time in months she was actually happy. She heard her skip a beat as she went to Fiona's door. She rang the doorbell and soon after a concerned Fiona opened the door and let her in.
Declan wasn't paying much attention and didn't notice the surprise visitor who was there to see him. Holly J went right to the couch where Declan was.
"I heard that someone was pacing around all because of me."
"Fi, didn't I say that this was none of your business?"
"You did, but, the floors and I can't deal with any more pacing. Holly J's not here to see me."
Fiona left quickly and hoped for the best for her brother and best friend.
Declan and Holly J were both oddly timid about making the first move in a conversation that they couldn't avoid.
"I love you, Holly J and it took me awhile to wrap my head around the fact that you were dating Sav…"
"I broke up with Sav on Skype today."
"Damn, that's harsh."
"It wasn't so hard but, it's going to be awkward working together for student council."
"There's that sparkle in your eyes that's been missing."
Holly J gave Declan smile and asked a question of her own to him.
"So did you date any cute girls in New York?"
"No." There was no hesitation in his voice
"You look surprised, Holly J."
"Mr. Coyne, don't you have a reputation to upkeep?"
"You have my heart Miss Sinclair. Feelings don't go away just because we choose to ignore them." She still doesn't see how special she is. There is no woman in New York like Holly J. Declan leaned in and kissed her gently.
"So what are we supposed to do now about us?" You're in New York and I am stuck at Degrassi."
"I can't imagine you getting stuck anywhere. You're the person who will always find their way out and you wouldn't give up until you've got what you wanted."
Holly J laughed.
"You know it's true. You and I think alike, Holly J."
"I really missed my partner-in-crime."
"I missed being your partner-in-crime."
"You still didn't answer my question."
"I didn't know there was one."
"New York and Toronto aren't next door to each other and we can't be partners in crime and Degrassi's power couple when we're apart."
"Since when did you get so into labeling us? Remember this is us, not high school."
"What? Being the power couple and scheming together was fun."
"Sav wasn't up to your high standards?"
"It'll be worth it if you stay, I promise."
"Then just ask me to stay."
