I know this took me FOREVER! But I got caught up with other things, and since I already have the final chapter of this story written, I need to make sure I write the rest of the chapters good enough to fit. I think maybe, I'll only have one more chapter before the finale! Just so I can get this story over with. Well, READ, REVIEW, and ENJOY!

Clare sat in The Dot, sipping her coffee impatiently. When Eli walked in saying, "Hey Clare. Sorry I'm late." He leaned in for a kiss and she scooted away. "Something wrong?"

Clare took a deep breath. "Yeah…Us…I just…"

Eli cut her off, "don't dare say what I think you're about to."

"I can't do this anymore. We aren't meant to be together," she said, with a sadden voice.

"But we are! I love you Clare," he pleaded.

"I know, but…we need to break up." She jumped to the final part of her sentence, looking down after.

"No…" he growled.

"I'm serious," she said.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm Sorry! I'll change. I'll do anything." He begged.

"But you won't. That's why I think we're better off apart. I'm sorry," Clare finished.

He had no words. He refused to look at her as he grabbed his coat and charged out the door. Climbing into Morty and taking off. Clare paid for her drink, huddling into her jacket as she held a sad frown on her face.

As she was leaving, she was interrupted by a slow applaud. Looking into the ally to see Fitz, "very well done. You know how to follow directions."

She made her way toward him and with a hushed rude tone, "I did it. Now give me the video."

He pulled out the camera, handing it to her, but snatched it away before she could grab it. "You think I'd hand over this gold that easily? Tsk, Tsk. How do I know you aren't going to go running back to emo-boy after I do?" she glowered at him, until he continued, "I have another task for you. Go back out with KC."

"K.C? My ex? They guy who cheated on me, dumped me, and then knocked up the girl he left me for? I think not!" She ranted in anger.

"Oh but, he's madly in love with you still. Honestly. He told me himself." Fitz went on, "Go out with him, make him happy, and you will get what you want."

"This is blackmail. I could report you."

"You could. But then you'd have to explain to your parents that you fucked Eli. Let the entire school see you and Eli's awkward night. And have to live with that shame for the rest of your life."

Clare stared him down, "Fuck you! Why would you want me to get back with the guy who broke my heart?"

"Because it would piss off Eli. And let's just say I'm a good guy trying to help out a friend." He was quick on his answer.

"You and KC are friends? Now I definitely don't want to get back together with him."

"Okay then. I guess this is going on the internet then." He waved the camera around.

"Fuck you…" she mumbled. "Fine! I'll do it."

Midnight came and Clare was walking to the park after sneaking out. Which was a lot harder now that Darcy was back and they were sharing a room again. She was trying to form sentences in her head for what she was about to tell the man she loves. She had no clue how she was going to break this news to him. "Clare!"

Too late! She said in her head. Eli was already running from the swings to her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her up to kiss her while spinning her. "You are a phenomenal actress. We have even fooled Adam!"

Clare wasn't as in enthusiastic as him. "You okay? Did you get the video from Fitz?" He asked setting her back on her feet.

"No…He wouldn't give it to me."

"That bastard! I'm going to beat his face in!" He was about to storm off but she pulled him back.

"He just wants one thing," Clare said, and Eli's eyes widened remember the last time she said that to him, he suspected that she was going to sleep with him.

"Another apology?" he asked scared for the answer.

"No." Clare hadn't caught on to the connection Eli was making. Making her tone sound as if she was leaning toward the other thought in his head.

"No. No! You're not sleeping with that douchebag!" Eli screamed.

"What? No. And be quiet!" She hushed. "He…he wants me to go back out with KC."

"That dick? Hell no! I won't allow it." He started to storm off again, but she stopped him.

"I know you're just trying to protect me. But what he wants is for you to be mad. To get jealous. He wants you to be crushed." She explained. "I'll talk to KC tomorrow. Go on a date. Then I'll have the video and we can forget about this."

"Why don't you just turn him in?" He argued.

Clare stared up at him with innocent eyes, "because, then everyone will know, Eli. I just can't deal with that. And everyone knowing it was recorded too. It's just…I can't I'm sorry."

Eli cuffed her hands, "I understand. I'm sorry too. This is my fault. You don't deserve to get in the middle like this." He pulled her into a tight hug, kissing the top of her head. "I love you."

Yeah, I know... Kind of sucked. I don't know. I just haven't been in the "New Semester, New Clare" mood lately. So I'm BSing these chapters so I can post the last one.
