Hey guys. I'm really glad you guys like the story and hate Ryan. I'm sorry I broke up Eli and Imogen but did you guys see the category? Drama/Romance. But of course I'm gonna bring them back together. Cause if I didn't... this wouldn't be a Eli/Imogen story. So anyway on to the story.
Imogen's POV
I slammed the crap out of my alarm clock. I was so tired. I didn't get any sleep last night because of Ryan keeping me up all night. God I hope I get my period soon. I walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower. After I washed my hair and body I wrapped a towel around myself and wiped the fog off the mirror. I looked awful. My eyes started to water. Fuck Ryan. Fuck his perverseness. Fuck his dad. Fuck his dick. Oh wait, I have. God Eli must hate me. I dried my hair and put curled it. I had this format, once a week for two weeks I don't wear my uniform. Simpson notices but only gives me a warning. I grabbed my black Doc Martens, a red dress that was ripped so it showed the black underneath, and a black knit beret. I walked downstairs and into the kitchen. My mom was sitting at the table reading some tabloid.
"Morning mom." I walked over to her and kissed her on the cheek. "Morning sweetie. Ugh! What takes your brother so long? RYAN HURRY THE HELL UP!" I laughed and walked over to the fridge and got out some milk. I heard footsteps thundering down the steps. Ugh. I quickly took a gulp of milk and walked out the back door yelling a goodbye. I walked over to my baby and hopped on and rode to Degrassi.
Eli's POV
I don't know why I was so upset. We dated for what, 3 1/2 hours. I walked into Ms. Dawes's class and sat down. "Hey man. How's the love life?" Adam asked. I just gave him a look. "Already? What happened?" he asked. "She said she had some serious stuff going on in her life and she doesn't want to pull me into it." I said laying my head down on my desk.
"Hey Eli." a female voice said. I turned behind me to see Imogen. Her hair was in curls and she was wearing a black beret and a black and red dress. She looked great. I just stared at her.
"Eli?" she waved her hand infront of my face. "I said Hey." she repeated
"Hey? Hey?" I said anger boiling up inside of me.
"Yeah. Hey, a casual from of Hello." she teased
I leaned into her. "Your actually saying hey after you dumping me yesterday." I whispered
"Eli, I told you-"
"The only thing I heard was that you didn't trust me." I said
"We just started dating, Eli. Am I supposed to tell you my life story." she said frowning.
"I have an idea. I'll tell you all my baggage, you tell me yours." I said
"I-" she shook her head and looked down biting her lip
"Fine. But at least I tried to give us a chance." I said angrily.
"Okay class let's get started." Ms. Dawes said walking into the classroom. "Yes, Imogen?" She asked
"May I go to the bathroom?" I heard a slight crack in her voice.
"Right now Imogen?" Ms. Dawes asked irritated. She sighed and said go ahead.
I heard Imogen get up and grab her stuff and quickly walk out. And she didn't come back.
I was with Adam while he was on the air when Fiona stormed in. "Imogen i-is crazy!" she yelled ignoring the fact that Adam was live.
"Um folks why don't we take a break and be back in a few." Adam said and hit a button.
"What is she okay?" I yelled and hopped up
"No! Obviously she's bi-polar because she told me this morning she was excited to start rehearsal and now she just text me saying she's quitting the play!" Fiona explained.
"She quit?" I asked stunned. Adam and I glanced at each other. Fiona caught us.
"What. Did. You. Do?" she said walking up towards us. Then I got an idea.
"I'll tell you on the way." I said walking to to the door. "Were going to Imogen's" I said
I walked over to the front door and opened it. At my doorstep was Eli and Fiona. Eli was going to say something when Fiona said...
"What the hell?"
I sighed. "What do you guys want?" I asked
"I-" Eli started
"We want an explanation." Fiona said placing her hands on her hips.
"Fiona can we..." Eli trailed off
I opened the door wider to let them in. Fiona went into the living room while Eli and I went on the stairs.
I bit my lip. He was obviously was struggling to say what ever he wanted to say, so I took the opportunity to say something.
"If you tell me what you want to tell me, I'm not going to tell you anything." I said
He nodded. "My ex-girlfriend, Julia, died. We got into an argument. Her mom called in the middle of the night hysterical. Julia came home for a hour or two then left on her bike. She got hit by a car." he said looking at the rings on his fingers.
"Eli, I'm so sorry." I said putting my hand on his shoulder
"Her mom blamed me. Julia wrote about the argument in her diary. Her mom didn't even invite me to the funeral. Then my parents thought it would be better if we moved. That's when I met Clare." he continued
"Eli..." I trailed off
He looked up at me. I could see he had tears in his eyes. I will admit he was good at holding them in.
"My dad's a music producer. The backbone of a album. I came home on day on a half day of school and caught him cheating with a client. Right on the dinner table. I told my mom. She contacted a divorce lawyer. She was going to get half of his money so he fought for custody of me. We all knew he didn't want me but he wanted to make my mom suffer." I said biting my lip avoiding Eli's gaze
"What did you do?" He asked
"I had to beat myself up. Tell everyone he hit me. He lost and my mom got custody. Now he hates us both. And that's when my mom met Daniel, started dating him and married him."
"Woah." Is all he said
I just nodded. "Let's face it Eli. Were both tiny and we're carrying too much baggage by ourselves. Us together-"
"Is a chance I'm willing to take." he said frowning
Then Fiona came in. "We've got to get back or we'll be late. I already called the cab a couple of minutes ago. It's outside."
Eli looked at me before following Fiona out the door. "Wait!" I said walking out with them. They both looked at me.
"Can you guys wait maybe 7 minutes so I can get dressed?" I asked. Eli smirked and looked at Fiona who smiled.
I smiled and walked back into my house.
I was talking to Alli while Jake had is arm around my shoulder lazily when I saw them from the corner of my eye. Fiona, Eli and Imogen were walking down the hall. They were talking and laughing. Then Fiona left waving at both of them. I couldn't help but notice that Eli and Imogen were close. I mean it was a clear as day. Eli leaned in and whispered in her ear. They both laughed uncontrollably. Imogen nodded her head and for the first time, I saw Eli smile. She kissed his cheek and walked past me with a smile on her face.
I'M SO TIRED. Please review. They mean so much to me. Every review is like a thumbs up. 3
