So I have decided that today is going to be called Double Chapter Day. I figured since I love ya'll so much that I would give you two chapters instead of just one! Its not going to be a very long chapter but it's a chapter none the less! Woo hoo! :)

Snowballs Chance in Hell

Ch.5:Confronting Clare

Eli's POV

-oOo-

I didn't feel like going home but it was already nine o'clock and The Dot had closed, so I parked Morty in the driveway of my house and sat there listening to the sounds of Dead Hand coming through the worn out speakers.

"Well Morty I guess it's just you and me" I said out loud. Oh great I thought, now im talking to my car. I was starting to get cold Morty although a trusty ride was not very good at keeping you warm in the dead of winter. I finally gave up and went inside the house. My parent were both in the den watching something on TV when I passed by.

"Eli?" my mom asked. I turned around and entered the den leaning against the door frame.

"What are you doing home, and where are Clare and Elliot? She asked

"They are at a movie" I said my tone was laced with defeat. I turned and headed up to my room sluggishly.

I decided to take a shower maybe that would make me feel better. Once I got done showering and throwing on some pajama pants and a long sleeve shirt I decided to do some homework. I must have really been depressed because I never do homework on a Friday night. I sat there trying to concentrate on the writing assignment that Ms. Dawes had handed out but all I could think about was Clare. I finally gave up on homework and crawled in bed. I noticed it was 11pm and Elliot still hadn't returned home. I could feel my blood boiling. How could my brother do this to me?

The next thing I knew it morning. I had passed out before Elliot had returned home from the movies; I sat up wondering what time he decided to come home. I dragged myself out of bed and downstairs. I went to go make a bowl of cereal when I noticed that Elliot was already awake and dressed for the day. I didn't say anything I just continued to pour the milk over my Lucky Charms and took a seat at the island. I was trying really hard to ignore him when he walked over to me.

"What no good morning?" he asked smugly.

"Morning" I mumbled

"So Clare is going to show me around Degrassi today" he said. I jolted my head up and stared at him in surprise.

"What!" I yelled.

"You're more then welcome to come with if you want" he added

I got up and put my cereal bowl in the sink. I ran upstairs changed my clothes and darted out the front door. I cranked up Morty and sped down the street to Clare's. The next thing I knew I was banging on her front door.

"Eli, what are you doing here?" Clare asked when she opened the door and saw me standing there.

"I need to talk to you" I said

"Is everything alright? What's wrong?" she asked sounding panicked. I didn't mean to freak her out but I had some things I needed to get off my chest.

"What's going on with you and Elliot?" I asked

"What are you talking about Eli?" she replied

"You were with him til way past eleven last night and now today you're taking him around Degrassi. I know he's into you, and if you're replacing me with him then you need to let me know!" I stated. Her face started to turn red.

"Are you for real?" she yelled. "You have been acting really weird since Elliot showed up yesterday and I don't think I like it! And NO im not replacing you with your brother but if you keep this up that might be a viable option!" she said and slammed the door in my face.

Great I thought to myself as I climbed into Morty and drove away.

-oOo-

Im sorry its so short, im trying to figure out where exactly I want the story to go. If you have any brilliant ideas let me know!

Much love!
