Eli's pov:

I stand there in the middle of the hall way waiting of an answer. "Well do you?" I asked Clare she didn't respond for the next minute but when she opens her mouth she said "I guess I do love you." I stood their dumfounded. "Clare I don't want to hear I guess I want a yes or no answer, so I can believe that you really love me, and that I can stay." I said. We just stand there and she dropped her head. I looked at her for a few more minutes and then I picked up my stuff and left out degrassi doors. As I went into Morty I looked to the school and saw Clare looking out the door. I just ignored her look of sadness because I feel like she was just playing with me because I entertain her. Do I? Was she just with me because she wanted someone to love and care for her just for nothing? She and I both knew that she had no one just Alli. Was she with me Just to be with someone? Playing with their heart? Did she even love me? All these questions pop into my head and I'm not even out into the streets in Toronto. No I can't think like this I know that she love me. But if she did love me she would have said I love you, and I would have stayed with her. But she didn't. I'm just gonna go home and continue packing. Might as well get ready for the best of my soon to be new life in California, without Clare.

6 days earlier:

Clare's button nose was red and she was now silently crying, contemplating exactly what he was asking from her. 'Do I love Eli?' She thought measly in her head. Eli kept a strong face but inside he was breaking down; just the fact that Clare had to think on whether or not she loved him that tore him up inside, it made him feel like shit. "Eli-" She mumbled. "Look," Eli cuts her off. "I just want to hear that you love me, that you're in love with me. I don't care who you'll love in 5 years or even next week, I just wanna hear that right now, with you in my arms that you love me. Is that really so diffi-difficult?" She hears his voice cut off and his throat getting all choked up, as if he's about to cry.

She looks away from his eyes. To herself, in her head, she thinks, 'The last time I said I love you to Eli, I got hurt. I can't get hurt again; I don't wanna feel wounded again, as if I can't live on; without his touch, without him. I've become too attached again. I can't. I just can't.' "Clare..." Eli openly cries. "Eli, do you love me?" She stands up, untangling herself from Eli's grabbing hands that seemed as if they didn't wanna let go of her waist. "Yes." He says dead serious. "Isn't that enough then? Just loving me, can't you stay?" "And I can't hear you say it to me, or just admit it to me?" He counters. "Eli, I can't. I'm sorry. I would do anything for you to stay." "But you won't fuck love, won't say you love." His soft voice gains a hard edge.

"I'm sorry." She repeats, picking up her bag. "Maybe I'm making a mistake-" "You are." Eli stands, writhing in internal pain. "But then again maybe I'm not." She adds on.

"You have 6 days Clare. I've told you I love you. I'm sorry, but I will leave. Call me selfish. Call me stupid. But if you don't want me, why stay around is the way I see it. On Sunday, I'm leaving. I'm sorry for breaking up with you, when we first dated you. I was an idiot; I thought you were going to break up with me and well...Yeah."

"Eli, listen to me. Just don't go. I would and will be nothing without you."

"It's the same with me." Eli whispers as he walks pass Clare and out the door, looking like a pansy, for the tear stains on his shirt and the silent tears that run down from his eyes because of the hurt he feels. But life goes on, right? Wrong.

5 days earlier:

Clare avoided Eli, she did a good job of it; Eli simply was heartbroken. He felt like such a loser, but what can he say, he was whipped. He hated that the most. Fuck it, flashed through his mind. Why care? During English, one of the few classes they have together, Clare barely turned her head towards Eli. Fuck it, flashed through Eli's mind again. 'This is why I hate love; it sucks once it ends and it always seems to end so soon'

4 days earlier:

Eli stopped coming to school all together, why? Why should he? He's forgetting about it and packing up, thinking of his new life and how he'll make it better than this one.

3 days earlier:

Eli drove over his phone when Adam kept calling and texting and Clare didn't.

2 days earlier:

Eli loaded up Morty.

1 day earlier:

Eli prepared himself for tomorrow, most likely his last confrontation with Clare.
