Chapter 6. I wrote the first 6 chapters in 2 days, because my heart is booming with ideas. Thanks for being such great readers! Disclaimer: I do not own Degrassi. This chapter is in ELI'S POV just to let you know. I decided not to write this in Jake's POV so don't expect that, sorry. Enjoy and review!
Eli's POV
Yesterday, I found Jake hurting Clare and I lost it. I threatened him and I felt different. I really hope that doesn't affect our relationship. Usually, I would remember birthdays and everything, but since so much stuff has been going on, I forgot that my birthday is Saturday. 18. I'm turning 18 in 2 days. Epic fail. I bet Clare knows this and she's been planning this huge party with my mom. My mom is, well let's say she wants to grasp everything about me and make it important since I'm an only child.
I was exactly right. The day before my birthday, Clare came and said that my party is in the Degrassi auditorium! And all of the students are invited. Yay. Horary. People say I'm very sarcastic and all, but seriously! My 18th birthday is going to be in Degrassi. If my mother wasn't CeCe, I would expect, yay you're 18, when are you moving out exactly?
On my birthday, Clare and Alli went out to go shopping. I was having a guy's day with Adam and Drew. We played video games all day until 5, when they left to get ready for the party. Clare came home with a box as tall as my bed. "Whoa, where are you going with that?" I asked, waiting for Clare's answer. "It's a surprise. And no, a kiss will not make me tell you." Clare answered, moving the box away from me. "How about 2 kisses?" I asked following Clare into the kitchen. "No Eli, not even for 2 kisses her a million." She replied. "3 million?" I asked, grabbing a Pepsi can. "Bye Eli." She said, going out the front door. "Where are you going?" I asked opening the can. "Degrassi, see you there." And she got on her bike, attached a wagon to the back, put the present on there, and pedaled away.
At the Degrassi Auditorium
I as I walked into the auditorium, Adam ambushed me with Fiona and Imogen, and Fiona kissed me, as a friend of course. "Happy birthday!" Fiona cheered. "Thanks, giggly. You're happy today." I replied, smirking. "It's your happy birthday. So I'm gonna be happy with you, okay?" Fiona giggled. "Ok." Imogen stood there, with her brown hair loose, wearing a magenta dress and flats. "Happy Birthday Eli." She said, not saying anything else. I looked around the auditorium. There were balloons and banners all of the place and there was a DJ, and a huge cake that was mostly black and everything I preferred. When I was done looking, I looked at my friends and the 4 of us walked into the dance floor where Adam and Imogen attempted doing the Dougie.
Clare's POV at the Degrassi Auditorium.
I walked in, looking for Eli. CeCe and I decorated the place and I bet Eli loved it. I was walking into the auditorium, and passed the fun house mirrors, and I looked at myself. How does Eli love me? I shrugged and went to the gift table and placed my gift on there. I turned around, and there was Jake. I sighed, and turned my head, not wanting to see him, after he practically attacked me. Imogen apologized to Eli and me over the phone, saying that Jake threatened her. Mom called saying she knew what happened and she was really sorry and she wants me to come home. I said no, blaming Jake. "Clare!" Jake exclaimed, seeing me walk away. "Clare! Listen to me!" Jake continued to say, running towards me. "I don't want to talk Jake." I said, walking towards the other direction. "I'm sorry! Just please listen to me!" he said, once again. "What Jake? What do you want? Want to attack me again?" I questioned, keep trying to walk away.
"No Clare, and I'm so sincerely sorry about that. The thing is, I want you back, I just don't know how to tell you. Please Clare." Jake whispered into my ears. "No, no. if you wanted me back, you could of just said so instead of attacking me outside the girl's bathroom! Do you know how that feels Jake?" I let out, feeling a tear come down. "Yes." He answered. "Yes?" "I want you to come home, and sleep with me tonight. Please Clare." Jake replied. "Sleep with you? I'm a virgin and I'm gonna stay that way until the day I marry…marry Eli! Leave me alone Jake, I hate you!" I yelled stomping out. Jake held on, and said "Fine, but if anything goes wrong tonight, blame it on yourself." Jake said as he walked away.
"Jake! Jake!" I called after him. "WHAT CLARE!" he screeched, where a few teachers looked at us. "What do you mean?" Jake laughed, and he ran off.
