Hey guys (: Thanks so so much for the reviews, they make my day! Sorry I didn't update as frequently as I used to D: Computer Complications and writers block… Well enjoy (:

*Clare POV*

Eli starts coming to Degrassi today, and I'm so nervous yet so excited. I broke the promise, and I need to tell him before Adam tells him accidently or something.

After thinking of what to do for hours yesterday, I decided to break up with Jake. Not only because of my promise with Eli, the sparks just weren't there. Jake used to be my friend, so I love him like a brother not a boyfriend. When I broke up with him, he took it well. That made it A LOT easier on me.

As I approached the steps of Degrassi, I felt nauseous. Just tell him. I thought. What's the worst that can happen? He could A) accept it and move on OR B) take it horribly and shun me out of his life OR C) Take it bad but eventually accept it and forgive me.

I turned down the hallway that my locker was and saw Eli in front of it.

"Hey blue eyes. Did you miss me?" Eli smirked while putting his arm around my shoulder. I noticed he still wore almost all black.

"Eli! Of course I missed you!" I said hugging him tightly.

"I missed you too."

I smiled, but it quickly turned into a frown. "Eli, you said two years…How did it become three?" I asked. "I started to think you weren't even coming back."

"Clare, I'm so sorry. My parents had to stay an extra year. I-"

"Eli, it's okay. I understand…." I said sounding more depressed than I hoped for. He raised his eyebrow.

"Well, can you forgive me over some coffee after school?" He asked taking my hand.

"How could I say no to you?" I said while taking my books out of my locker. "I'll see you at lunch?"

"Of course, blue eyes."

*Later On*
*Eli POV*

I was sitting at a booth at the Dot waiting for Clare to meet me. All day she seemed like she was hesitant towards me. I didn't know what she was acting so weird for. Maybe because she hasn't seen me in a while? Or because she doesn't remember how close we used to be? I got so lost in thoughts that I didn't realize Clare was standing before me.

"Hey." She said while sitting on the other side on the booth.

"Hey, Clare." I said

"So, what have you been up to?" I asked.

"Nothing really. My sister moved away a year ago. Other than that, everything is the same." I said smiling weakly. "How about you?"

"Well nothing much actually…" He said in a really awkward way.

"Eli, I have to tell you something." She said with tears in her eyes.

"Okay Clare, anything." She started to cry silently. "Clare, what happened?" I said while taking a seat next to her and hugging her.

"I-I broke the p-promise. I-"

"You What?" I said not controlling how hurt and angry I felt. "Clare, we made that promise for you. You needed assurance I wouldn't date other people but you get to!" At this point I was livid.

"So how many guys, Clare? Huh? Five…Ten? " I screamed. She just sat there wide eyed and shocked.

"Eli." She started but I was done. She betrayed me. And our promise. "Please…" She pleaded

"No, Clare. Save it." I walked out of the Dot and made sure to slam the door on my way out.

How could she do this to me? She was worried about me seeing other people, yet she goes out with a bunch of guys? Ugh. A bunch of guys going out with my Clare…

*Clare POV*

So what's the worst that can happen? Well he could blow up on me at the Dot causing everyone to watch us like were a cheating couple out of a soap opera…

What Eli said really hurt me. "So how many guys, Clare? Huh? Five…Ten?" He didn't get it. He didn't understand how I felt.

It took me a while to process what he said. One minute it's "…Anything, Clare." Then it's "…I wouldn't date other people but you get to!"

He didn't even give me time to explain. He just left. I'm sure that he never wants to see me again. I decided to call Ali.

After three rings she picked up.

"Hey, Clare." She said in an extremely happy voice. I guess she hung out with Drew before.

"H-Hey Ali." I said sobbing.

"Clare! What happened? Never mind, I'll be there in five." She said and hung up. That's what I love about Ali, She was always there.

After about 4 minutes I heard a knock at my door. "Hey Al-Oh Adam?" I said as I saw Adam standing there.

"Clare, I'm so sorry he didn't take it well." He pulled me into a hug and I started to cry again. Ali came in my house since Adam left the door open, and she joined the hug.

"Aw, Clare bear. Let's talk about it in your room." Ali said dragging Adam and me upstairs. After I told them the story, Ali shouted "What the hell is his problem!"

"Ali, you can't blame him…" I said

"Yes I can! He just assumes you were dating a bunch of guys, and doesn't even let you defend yourself…" Ali said, and I also heard her mutter "What an ass."

"Well, I talked to Eli. I told him that you only dated Jake and it was because you didn't think he would come back since he's been gone for three years. And I might have told him… other stuff." He said trying to avoid everyone's gaze. "But he didn't answer. He just hung up."

"Great…He hates me!" I said in monotone.

"Clare don't worry, you're so much better than him. And now you can date without feeling guilty!" Ali said with a huge grin on her face. "I guess, but I can't date Eli…" I said while getting up and lying on my bed.

"Well I got to go. I didn't tell my parents I was coming, I just ran here." Ali said.

"Yeah me too. Call if you need anything. Okay?" Adam said while giving me a hug.

"Yes, dad." I laughed. "I think I'll be fine tonight. Thanks a lot guys." I said smiling as they left.

Oh how I love my friends…..

So did you hate it, love it, like it? I made it longer than most my chapters would be because I kept you waiting so long :P Review guys (: They make me happy :D
