Hey guys thanks for the reviews. It really made my day! Okay. Well I know that I forget to put n quotation marks. I'm really sorry. I forget things easily and I haven't written in a long time. Anyway I will either add quotes or lyrics to this at the beginning. It may have something to do with the story. Even if it just has one key word. (Or I just really liked it.) Well one last thing I want to thank bbqpizzayo for being the first person to review and give me a little tip. Also Treasure89 your review meant a lot to me. Check out her stories they are amazing. Well I talk way too much so here is your story.
Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can.

Clare's POV
After what seemed an hour we got to my house. I don't remember this house so when we got there I didn't know. "Were here" my dad said. I looked out my window as I opened the car door. The house was a cute 2 story house. (It's the same house Clare has in Degrassi) I grabbed my purse and my journal and got out of the car.
My mom headed to the house while my dad unloaded our luggage all of our furniture has already been shipped and set where we wanted it. I looked at the other houses on the street. They were pretty much all 2 story some weren't thou. I saw that my mom was already in the house so I walked to the door and opened it. I walked around taking in my new surroundings and found my mother in the kitchen.
"Hey mom" I said. "Oh hello Clare, you like the house so far?" "Um, yeah I guess I will have to see but um where is my room"? I asked. Oh it's up the staircase third door on your left." "Oh, Okay thanks". And before I left the room I gave her a kiss on the cheek. Then I walked to the stairs to find my room. Sooner or later my dad came up he knocked then opened the door. "Clare why don't you go get some fresh air you have been stuck in the car for a long time." He told me. "Okay. I guess I'll go tan." I replied "Okay towels are in your bathroom which is across the hall." After he told me that he shut the door. I opened my suitcase that my dad had brought up earlier. Then took my red and white bikini and put it on. Next I went into the bathroom to check my hair it was about to my chin with soft curls I decided to freshen up my make-up. I looked at myself with my pale blue eyes and reapplied my eyeliner and mascara. After I had finished freshening up I grabbed my towel and other stuff I would need I headed down stairs. "MOM, DAD I'M GOING OUT IN THE FRONT YARD TO TAN!" I yelled as I walked out the door. I walked out onto the decent size yard and spread my towel out.
Next I put some sunscreen on. I don't really tan but I like to get some sun. I grabbed my book Invisible Monsters By: Chuck Palahniuk and started reading. Then maybe after about 5 minutes passed I heard a door slam. I looked up and noticed that it came from across the street. I saw two people chasing after each other.
The girl that was being chased looked about my age but had long black hair. She was really skinny and was wearing long sleeves and skinny jeans. She had no shoes on but didn't seem to care. I heard some foot steps behind me and turned my head around to find my mother. "Hey sweetie" she said "Hi mom." "Can I ask you a question?" I said. "Sure ask away." "Okay well whose house is that?"
I said as I pointed to the house across the street. "That's Eli's house sweetheart." "Oh okay, anyway did you want something mom?" I asked. "No, I just wanted to tell you Darcy called." "Really, what did she say" I asked my mother. She was just checking up on us and making sure we got here safely." "Oh okay. Is that all?" I asked. "Yes that's it." After that she went inside. I had finally started to read but then I heard yelling. I looked at the house across the street again and saw Eli and the girl chase each other inside. Then my phone buzzed, Go say hello –Mom.
I smiled and got up and put a cover up on then slipped on my flip-flops and walked across the street. I got up to the door and knocked on it. After a few seconds a woman with blonde hair opened the door. "Hello may I help you?" She asked. "Um, I'm Clare and I moved back across the street-." I was cut off because the woman started talking "So little Clare Edwards did come back after all!" after that she hugged me and invited me inside. Then she yelled ELI, COME DOWN HERE!" After a few moments I heard "GIVE ME 5 MINUTIES!" then once again the woman yelled "ELIJAH GOLDSWORTHY NOW!" After a few more moments I heard someone coming down the stairs and saw a boy maybe a little older than me with black hair come towards the woman. He said "What did you want mom I was in the middle of something."
While saying that and looked at me. "Eli" she started "do you know who this is?" She said while extending and arm out towards me. Eli looked at me for a second then our eyes met but I looked away. A few more seconds passed then suddenly his eyes got really big and he yelled "CLARE" while he pulled me in for a hug. He then said "I missed you." I didn't hug him back my arms I just stood like a statue. He let go of me and returned standing. Before anything else weird could happen I heard my voice speak up.
"Um, I'm sorry I don't remember anything I had this bad car crash when I was 9 and I got a concussion so I don't really remember anything. I don't remember anything from when I was 9 I don't even remember the crash. Before I could say anything else Eli said "I would love to hear your story but I have Julia upstairs waiting for me. " After he said that he went upstairs.
Eli's POV
While I listen to Clare's story I can only think about was What if Clare had died? I didn't want to think about that so I told her I had Julia upstairs and I went to my room. I shut my door and heard a voice say "What did Cece want?" It was Julia. "She just wanted to ask me a question." "Well what did she ask you?" She asked. She was always so damn nosy. "She asked me if I remembered this girl that used to live across the street. Because she moved back, and came over to say hello."
"WHAAT?" I heard Julia quietly yell at me. "Jules calm down; she got into a bad car accident and doesn't remember me so you have nothing to worry about." I said. "Julia you know why you don't have to worry?" I asked. "Hm, ELI NO I FUCKING DON'T NOW WHY I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY! WAIT I THINK I KNOW IT'S BECAUSE CLARE IS DUMB AND I BET SHE IS UGLY AND FAT!
After Julia yelled that at me I just lost it. "JULIA DON'T FUCKING YELL AT ME THIS IS MY HOUSE AND NO CLARE IS NOT DUMB SHE HAD A FUCKING CONCUSSION AND NO SHE'S NOT FAT AT ALL AND CLARE IS NOT ULGY SHE IS BEAUTIFUL! DON'T FUCKING EVER INSULT HER AGAIN! I didn't realize what I said until after I had said it. And I wasn't really sure if I regret it.
"ELI YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR BEING A BITCH! "HAHA IM BEING THE BITCH JULIA YOU FUCKING FLIPPED OUT WHEN YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT! YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK YOU NEED TO LEAVE; YOU CAN CALL ME WHEN YOU CALM DOWN! OH YEAH AND ONE MORE THINK JULIA?" WHAT ELI? WHAT IS IT? I started walking up to her and got to her face. IF YOU EVER INSULT CLARE, IGNORE HER OR EVEN GLARE OR ROLL YOUR EYES AT HER THERE WILL BE NO YOU AND I ANYMORE!" I knew that after I said that I drew the line. I saw tears in Julia's eyes and she ran out crying. After a few moments Cece and Clare came up to my room.
Clare's POV
After Eli went up to his room the woman introduced herself. Her name is Cece. After some awkward silence we heard yelling. "Maybe I should go." "Clare that won't be necessary; Eli and Julia fight all the time." Cece and I just stood in the kitchen drinking some tea until Julia came running down the stairs with tears in her eyes, and then she ran out of the door. "Clare I'm going to check on Eli would you like to come with me?" "I would love to" I told Cece then we went up the stairs and went into Eli's room.
Well what did you think? I know what you're thinking what why is Julia in here. Well you will find out. Okay well you have to tell me what you think. Ask me question and leave something you want to happen. Maybe it will be in my story. I made like Eli's POV up while I was typing it. I had something different written down but I like this better. I wasn't going to have Julia and Eli fight but I wanted to. Anyway I'll try to update every day.
Thanks and love you guys.
