Chapter 14: Nothing is ever perfect

Hey! I am so sorry about the lack of chapters. I guess life just got in the way of my writing. I am ending this story here because I want to start a new story soon, so look forward to that. I hope you liked this story and I'll try to start the new story soon!

Clare's happiness was over whelming. She loved Eli and she was so happy to have Jake back in her life. Everything was right, except for the Anti-Grapevine.

Clare walked up to Degrassi Monday morning to a crowd forming in the halls. Her heart sank. Immediately she imagined the worst. She pushed through the students to find Eli and Jake standing across from each other. Eli looked mad, Jake looked scared. Suddenly Elis eyes met with her disappointed face. Clare ran out the doors of the school and sat on the steps. She thought he was ok, she thought he believed her, she thought wrong.

"Clare!" Eli yelled after her. He followed her and sat next to her on the steps. "Clare" he said, not being able to find more words.

"What do you think you were doing, Eli?" She said "I thought you trusted me!"

Eli's face dropped "I'm sorry. I couldn't stop"

"Eli, if you can't take a little jealousy, I don't know if I should be with you."

"Are you saying you want to break up? We were so happy yesterday"

"That was yesterday. That was before, I just don't think I can" She said as she got up. "I'm sorry Eli" She said as she walked away.

Clare walked straight home. She hoped that one day all of this would be behind her, but every petal falls eventually.
