Clare's POV

Was I being way too dramatic? Maybe Eli was right, I should have straight up told her that we were together. I grabbed my phone that was lying on the stack of books by my laptop about to call Eli, I hesitated at first thinking that he wouldn't want to deal with me at the moment. I sighed and called him, pushing my fears to the side. Isn't weird that I'm afraid to talk to my own boyfriend?

"Hello?" I heard a voice say on the other line

"Eli" I said softly, my lip starting to quiver "Clare? What's the matter?" he obviously recognized the disappointment in my tone of voice "I-I-I-I'm sorry, okay? Look, I'm so sick and tired of arguing with you about Imogen and all of that but I'm just scared, okay? I'm scared I'm going to lose you" I spat out, he sighed on the other line "There is nothing to worry about, blue eyes. You're the only one for me, how many times do I have to remind you? I'm not going to be an unfaithful boyfriend, I promise. I promise I'm not going to be another KC to you, okay? Clare, I love you, can you just trust me?" he asked waiting for a response.

It was like the roles were in reverse now. Just a few months ago, Eli was being overprotective of me; he was the one scared of losing me. Now I'm stuck in that position, is this how he felt when Fitz came back?

I sighed.

"I trust you, Eli"

Eli's POV

"Good. Now if it isn't too late, do you want to get ice cream or something? I just want to get this off our chest. I want to spend some time with my girlfriend" I said while smirking to myself "I mean, I guess so" she answered.

"Cool, I'll pick you up in 10 minutes"

"Wait, Eli, how are you going to pick" I cut her off "Don't worry about it. Just be ready in 10 minutes, Clare bear"

Before she could say anything else, I hung up the phone and got dressed again.

"Baby boy?" I heard my mom call from my door, I turned around "Hey mom" I smiled "How do you like Imogen? She's new to Degrassi. She just moved from California" I said to her while throwing on a shirt "She seems very sweet, a tad on the strange side but it's tolerable" she said laughing.

She sat down on my bed "I was just wondering, how've you been holding up? How is school, Clare, and everything?" she asked looking at me. I smiled "It's going great, mom. I'm surprised you have to ask since you did get me a new expensive ride because I'm quote doing better" she shook her head "I can definitely see an improvement, but you know I'm just wondering how things are at school since your dad and I can't constantly be around you 24/7"

I nodded understanding her reason "Well I am suppose to pick Clare up soon to get some ice cream. We kind of got in an argument today at school and then at the Dot" I sat down next to her and she put her arm around my shoulder "Argument? Shocking. You two seem like you guys are doing so well after what happened" she said.

I sighed "Well, not all couples are going to turn out perfect, mom" I rolled my eyes at her "She's just getting a tad paranoid. I guess you can say she has the case of the green eyed monster? She's getting really jealous of Imogen. I've been trying to reassure that nothing is going to happen and that I'm not going to let Imogen take me away from Clare but she just seems unconvinced"

I saw my mom nod "I understand where she's coming from sweetie. You see, us girls, we're complicated creatures. We go by that line 'Don't fuck with what's ours' and I'm sure boys do that also but I guess you can say that girls take a tad bit more seriously" I looked at her and I must have had a confused look on my face because she responded with, "We can't handle seeing our boys hanging out with other girls. Let's be honest, girls are drama queens, they're always trying to find a way to create something to spice up their lives, I guess" she shrugged.

"I'm just saying to understand where Clare is coming from also, okay baby boy? Maybe it's best to hang out with Imogen only a couple times" she suggested, I sighed nodding "I know mom, I know"

I honked the horn when I got to Clare's house, hoping she would know that it was me waiting for her outside. The door opened a few minutes later and I saw her jaw drop "Eli, is this yours!" she squealed while running to the passenger side "Yep, my parents bought it for me. It was a surprise, shocking at how much they would actually pay for me especially since they've been paying for therapy and what not" I said to her, I leaned over and kissed her softly.

She smiled "Well, I must say, I like this new car. I feel a lot more comfortable driving in it rather than Morty, if you know what I mean" I laughed "What, Edwards? Couldn't handle the hearse? Not luxurious enough for you?" she stuck her tongue out "No, it was just scary" she said, I looked at her weird "Scary?" she rolled her eyes "Just drive so that we can have enough time to eat our ice cream and talk"

"Your wish is my command, my lady" I winked

"So how was Imogen after I left?" she asked while taking a bite of her banana split "We ended up going to my house after with Adam. My mom made tacos. She seems to be understanding the stuff, I don't know why she needs to be tutored" I mentioned "Yea, I wonder why also" Clare said, I looked at her "Not that I'm saying she's only doing it for a certain reason. I mean maybe she just understands things quickly. So are you still going to be tutoring her?" she asked me.

I shrugged "I agreed to tutor her twice every week until the test approaches. She was fine with that and she understood that you're not very comfortable with her around me" Clare nodded understandingly "Well I don't want her to you know feel obligated to leave you alone. I mean she can talk to you, I really don't mind. I just got that idea of her stealing you away from me in my mind and what not" she said.

I put my hand on top of hers "See, Edwards. This is what I love about you. It's funny how you overreact at one moment and then the next you're completely understanding. I like that about you" I said to her and stole a bite of her ice cream "Hey!" she screamed "I believed I paid for this, Miss. Edwards. I deserve at least something in return, right?" I teased.

She smiled and leaned over the table to kiss me "I guess you do" she whispered.
