Ch 4: Your Kidding Me

Clare's POV:

I stared at her in disbelief was she serious. I searched her eyes to see if she was making this up, I searched and searched I found nothing. I only found sadness and sorrow in her eyes that it even made me flinch in pain as it panged at my heart. But what I also found was new found confidence and strength that made me so proud that she doesn't have to depend on someone else for happiness. She was strong and we could make it together just me and her…. Darcy. Oh no Darcy. My mother saw the rising worry in me.

"Did you tell Darcy?" I managed to choke out holding back the tears. My mother nodded her head while taking a deep breath.

"Yes, we arranged that she is coming back home and is coming with us." She said calmly with a gleam in her eye. I was so happy I missed my big sister I was practically jumping up and down with excitement. Which I didn't understand, my parents are getting a divorce, but I saw it coming I was sad but maybe things happen for a reason but it still didn't have a bright side to this whole situation.

"Mom where are we going exactly." I asked nervously but I was dying to know. I saw a smile creep up and brighten her blue ocean eyes.

"Well I wanted it to be a surprise but since you asked let's just say we are heading to the states." She was practically glowing with excitement.

"Which state mother!" I said with a smirk happy that my mom had her mind off things but in mind I wishing for her to say an exact place that I've always dreamed of ever since I was a little girl. God if you love me you will let me just have this please.

"It's not really a state really. But a city you've been dreaming and asking about it ever since you were a little girl." She squealed.

"Spit it out!" I yelled as I smiled so hard my face was hurting.

"We are going to New York City!" She screamed

"Ahhhhhhhhh!" I was bouncing off the walls my mom pulled me into a bone crushing hug that squeezed my lungs but I still managed to yell.

"THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!" I hugged her back. This was all I ever wanted, all my troubles seemed to vanish and disappear. Nothing mattered anymore not even Eli as I hated to admit it but I still liked him. But this situation was a wake-up call back into reality making me realized that I can't have everything I wanted even if it was someone else. But some things needed to bend and turn to make it work for me and use it to my advantage. And I was definitely using this moving situation to my advantage, this was what I needed. I could do something there maybe get a job, go to a great school, shop like a maniac, make a band, oh maybe book a gig. I always wanted to do that, but hey a girl can dream right? I can see it, but soon enough I started to space out staring into the air with dreamy eyes, until my mom cleared her throat, way to ruin the moment. I turned to stare at her and she looked at me questioningly with her eyebrows raised.

"What are you staring at?" She questioned while wearing a smirk trying to look around to see what I was staring at.

"Nothing just thinking of what I could do in New York City. It's so exciting I can't wait. Look I'm shaking look!" I held out my hand for her to observe I was shaking like an idiot. She looked at me with a weird expression.

"Since I'm your mom I'm not going to call you crazy. Maybe you should go to bed honey" She said suggestively. I shook my head.

"It's only five o' clock! Oh I know what to do I'm going to text Alli and tell her to meet me at the mall at 5:30." I said while I texted her.

"Alli said okay, so mommy can you drive me to the mall pretty please?" I asked with a hopeful look, my mom gave me a full on smile.

"Sure sweetie come on let's go." She giggled

"YAY!" I screamed.

"But remember later we have to pack up we are moving in 2 days. Sorry I didn't tell you sooner but I had a lot on my plate." exclaimed my mother.

"No, that's okay. The sooner the better." I replied eagerly.

"Hey mom when can I get a car?"

At the mall I saw Alli, I pounced on her fragile body jumping on her back and covered her eyes while she spun around. I was so surprised when she didn't topple over with those very high heels of hers.

"Clare Trinity Edwards get off my back right now!" She yelled but amused. This just made us laugh harder, people started to stare but I honestly didn't care of what people thought of me anymore. They could just keep staring all they wanted.

"Let me think about it…..ummm….NO!" I laughed as I almost lost my grip.

"CLARE! People are starting to stare!" She laughed.

"How would you know you can't see. Duhhhh." I said

" I'm warning you! I can just fall back and I wouldn't get hurt since your going to take the blow. And remember the floors are tiled." She grumbled. I jumped off.

"Hey! Don't you dare!" I yelped as I hugged her.

"You know I wouldn't." She replied as she hugged me back. I loved Alli she was like a sister to me. Which made telling her about me moving was going to be so hard. I tensed at the thought while she did too. I wonder why.

"I need to tell you something." I said quickly she looked torn.

"I'm glad you told me to meet you here. Because I need to tell you something too." She said. I didn't know who was going to confess first but we said at the same time:

"I'M MOVING!" we said at the same time.

"WHY? WHERE?" We asked each other. We stared at each other. We laughed at ourselves thinking we were crazy.

"Okay, Okay. Same time we tell each other where we are moving on 3?" She asked I nodded clearing my throat to get ready.

"1,…2,…3!" We chanted

"NEW YORK CITY!" We said. I stared wide eyed at her. We yelled at the top of our lungs as we hugged.

"I can't believe it. Why are you moving?" I asked.

She shrugged her shoulders "My parents don't trust me at Degrassi anymore. But they trust Sav even what happened after the lockdown, so they are sending me to some relatives but I don't get why they would send me to New York City. But I could care less, me and Drew are done… I think. But we still talk." replying nonchalantly.

"What about you?" She questioned.

"My parents are getting divorced." I said. Alli gave me a concerned look.

"Clare I'm sooo sorry." She said.

"Don't act like you didn't see it coming." I said. She gave me an understanding look.

"But I'm glad we can still see each other." Alli said happily.

"I know me too." I said.

"So what now?" She looked at me confused.

"I was hoping to go on a major shopping spree with you and get a make over before I move. A new appearance maybe a bad-ass look." I said as I raised an eyebrow.

"You in?" I asked as I bended my arm so she could hook hers through.

"I'm there for you babe!" She said as she hooked her arm with mine. As we walked the mall.

So? Hoped you enjoyed it. I really loved writing the Clare and Alli friendship its fun. I just came up with her middle name i don't know if it fits her, but i happen to like the name Trinity. Tell me what you think.
