Chapter Twenty-One: Rushing Feelings (Clare's POV)
"Isn't she just precious?" Jenna cooed in a rasp voice. I still can hear her screams, they were louder than anyone could imagine. Of course I was in the room, I was hesitant to accept her offer to wanting me to the person in the room when Bethany was born, but after I saw how alone Jenna was, I agreed. I regretted it up until the cries echoed the room. The doctor held up a blood covered baby that's screams reminded me of Eli. Eli. Keep it together Clare. Don't lose focus because of Eli.. He's in good hands. My mental voice told the nagging one, but it was wrong. I didn't know if he was okay. Adam would tell me little, knowing that Eli was a soft topic for me. I could crush under the heavy heart so easily by the mere mention of his beautiful name. "Clare?" Jenna asked, pulling me from the black hole in my mind. "Yeah?" I asked, suddenly forgetting the question she asked me. Jenna giggled. "I asked if you think Bethany's precious." Jenna stated. I smiled. "Of course she is Jenna. She looks a lot like you. Look at that thick blond hair!" I exclaimed. Jenna slightly smiled. "That's her father's thick brown hair." Jenna mumbled enough for me to hear. "Oh.." I said. We were stuck in silence for a while, but not that long because Fiona burst in with a grin. "Oh my god! Jenna! She's beautiful!" Fiona shouted. Nurses looked at us oddly, but shook their head and returned to their work. Jenna smiled. "Thanks Fi. Want to hold her? I'm tired.. I should get some sleep." Jenna said. Fiona nodded and took Bethany from Jenna's arms. "Get rest. I'll look over baby Bethany." Fiona reassured Jenna. Jenna nodded, before closing her eyes and falling asleep. Fiona started walking around the room, rocking Bethany slowly. "You're so beautiful Bethany. Just wait until Auntie FiFi buys you baby couture. You'll look so amazing." Fiona cooed. Feeling the sense of snooping and in the way, I excused myself slowly from the hospital room. I walked briskly down the hall, with my arms crossed and eyes staring at the floor. I could feel doctors and nurses brush by me to attend to the patients. Although I accidentally bumped into someone's shoulder and we met gazes. It was KC. "Sorry Clare." KC mumbled, he took one last look at me before heading down at the down, I quickly grabbed his arm and pulled him towards me. "What in the world are you doing here?" I hissed. KC raised an eyebrow. "I'm here to see my daughter. Is that a crime, Clare?" KC asked. I groaned. "KC.. Jenna doesn't want you here. When you walked away four months ago, you walked from Jenna and Bethany's lives." I explained. KC ran a hand through his hair. "Still. I want to see Jenna and.. Bethany?" KC questioned. I nodded. "Do you have a problem with her name? I helped Jenna pick it out." I sneered. KC put his hands up as if he committed a crime. "Geez.. Sorry Clare. It's just a funny name. Feels weird on my tongue. Bethany." KC said, as he stuck his tongue out and twisted it around to prove his point. I rolled my eyes and tried to stifle laughter. This is exactly what the old KC would do. "Are you laughing Clare?" KC asked. I looked away. "No.. Why are you asking KC?" I asked, trying to hide a smile that hasn't been shown since the incident. "Because I want to see your beautiful smile." KC murmured, his face started to inch towards mine. I stood and gasped as he lips started to approach mine. "KC.." I whispered. "Don't be afraid, Clare." KC whispered back. I closed my eyes as KC's lips met mine. The sudden feelings of the way KC would hold me, the way he kissed me. He loved me. When the kiss parted, KC stared into my eyes and smiled. "Just like old times, Clare. Just like old times." KC remembered. I shivered at his cold touch to my face. His hand lingering on my cheek. "Woah.. Woah.." Someone said aloud. I turned around suddenly to see Adam standing at the end of the hall with wide blue eyes. KC dropped his hold and mumbled. "See you later Clare." KC bitterly left and rounded the corner, I simply felt my lips and they felt moist.. Like his lips. Adam walked to me with his face turning into a grimace. "KC Guthrie? Seriously Clare? You'd date that bastard?" Adam shouted. Nurses looked at us yet again, I pulled Adam's sleeve and pulled him into an empty hospital room. "What the hell are you doing, Clare?" Adam said, crossing his arms across his chest. I sighed. "I… I just don't know Adam.. I just needed to kiss him." I admitted. Adam scoffed. "That's pathetic. After what he did to you and Jenna, you'd still have feelings for him? He's a douche bag!" Adam said loudly. "I love him." I blurted out. I quickly covered my mouth. "You know I never thought that you'd be such a cold hearted bitch, Clare Edwards.. Guess I was wrong." Adam sneered. He took one last look at me before exiting the room. I sat down on the fresh linen bed and buried my face in my hands. Allowing the tears to escape. "I'm sorry Eli." I mumbled to empty air. "I'm sorry.. It's all my fault.." I mustered through my dry lips.
Oh shnizz! A slightly longer chapter, but not as long as I wish! Next chapter won't be in Eli's POV, but in Clare's. Sorry to upset some of you by making it be long until Eli and Clare end back together, but I WANT it to take forever. I'm sick of Degrassi couples getting together one episode and breaking up the next. I want it to be long term. No couple can actually be like that. It's ridiculous! But now that my rant is over! I was wondering that since this story is halfway over (sadness) Would you guess like another Eclare story? I have two options in my bio on my page. Either, Not The Purest or Despite Our Struggles. Not The Purest will not be that long, but Despite Our Struggles will take a longer to make :D. Just choose one! Please? Oh and…
