I am soo sorry about not updating soon! I had MAJOR writers block and I was plain out of ideas. I'm back now, full of ideas and other good stuff. If you have any suggestions or ideas for New Year, New Chapter when I have writers block or I haven't updated for a two days, feel free to tell me in a private message or review. Now, there are some reasons why I changed the rating to T, and other things. This chapter will skip around from Clare to Eli back and forth so stay with me. Oh and sorry, I completely forgot my idea about Liberty Van Zandt being Clare's teacher, sorry. Disclaimer: I do NOT own Degrassi or any of the characters so far… To make it up to you, here's chapter 11, Love Problems! Review and enjoy!
Clare's POV
I got up in the morning to Darcy's alarm clock ringing and ringing. I groaned and remembered that Darcy was always a morning person. I asked mom about Jake, and she didn't answer me, the same rountine since I went back home. I put on a nice pink blouse and blue leggings and I looked at myself in the mirror. I sighed, and someone knocked the door.
"Come in!" I answered. "Clare?" Darcy asked, opening the door. "Yeah Darce." I replied. "Hey sis, so…" Darcy started. "So?" I asked, confused. "Are you still a virgin?" Darcy asked, looking embarrassed. "Yeah, why?" "Because, you're not wearing your ring. Mom's gonna freak if she finds out that you're not wearing your ring." "Don't worry Darce, it'll be fine." Darcy nodded. "Ok enough of that, want me to straighten your hair?" Darcy went for the flat iron. "Sure. Make it look nice." And Darcy started to flat iron my hair.
At Degrassi, Ms. Dawes' room
I stared at the board, while being bored. Eli tapped his pencil out of boredom, and English was just plain boring. That's how the whole day has been, boring. Ms. Dawes was out sick so we're stuck with an old lady. She just sat there, staring at the clock.
"Eli. I think I'm ready." I whispered into Eli's ear.
"What?" Eli whispered, confused.
"I'm ready to lose my virginity." I repeated, more specific this time.
"Clare, what about your promise ring?" Eli asked, understanding more. I sighed then said all cheery, "Who cares? It's Friday, let's get crazy! And I could spend the night on your bed." I really don't know what's going on with me, but I know I'm not thinking right.
"Clare, your promise. You can't. I'm not going to let you." Eli said, sternly. He's backing down, so I know what's going to get him to change his mind. "Do you love me? You slept with Julia. You slept with her almost every night. You love me…right?" I asked, Eli's eyes widened and he said, "Clare, Julia's dead. She's gone. I don't know why you keep bringing her up when she's gone. I love you." "Then why won't you sleep with me?" I asked, offended.
"Because, Clare. Julia and I were best friends. We started to date and one day, we had sex in my dad's car. We loved it a lot and we did "it" every night. Then one day, Julia came to me and told me she was pregnant. I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to be a dad, a teen dad with her. So I told her to get an abortion. She did. But on April 22nd, she came to my house, mad that she had to get an abortion. That's the fight I told you about. She couldn't take it and I told her to leave. She did, and I chased after her. She got hit by the car, and the last thing she told me was that she hated me." Eli confessed.
I sat there, shocked by his story. I didn't want to push him into sex if he wasn't ready, and deep down, neither was I. "I'm so sorry." I said, flabbergasted. Eli just nodded and continued to tap his pencil. I've never did ask Eli about his and Julia's fight, but know I now.
After School, at Eli's house, Eli's POV
I felt devastated after telling Clare more about Julia. But, she had to know. Our relationship depended on it. But I wondered, why does Clare want to sleep want to sleep with me. I invited Clare over, just to talk. I have no idea what's going on with her but I'm going to find out. I was listening to music until the door rang. I jumped over the couch to land on my butt, but got up and continued to the door.
"Hey." Clare said, wearing a sexy short black skirt and a tank top.
"Clare?" I asked. "Yeah. You like? Or you like?" she said. This is NOT the Clare Edwards I'm in love with. "I don't know…no!" I yelled. Clare smiled. "Oh Eli, Eli, Eli, Elijah. I love you. If you love me, you'll sleep with me…right?" Clare affirmed. "Fine. Go home and come back later so we could…" I sighed and said, "make love." I wasn't looking to this at all.
8:30 pm, Eli's Room Eli's POV
Clare came, like she said she would. I've always wanted to sleep with Clare, but not like this. Not when we're dating, because of her promise. I feel like I'm committed in that promise too, though it's not mine.
"You ready?" I asked, as Clare laid on my bed. "Of course! Are you?" She answered. "Eli, I'm sorry. I feel like I'm ready, but then I'm not. I want to lose my virginity to you, and I want to make sure that I do. Because, who knows? We might be broken up by the time I'm 20. If you don't want to, we won't." Clare then confessed. "Clare, do you want to?" I asked. "Yes. Yeah Eli." My adrenaline was rushing and I threw myself at her.
Clare's POV
I have never, ever felt so grown up and happy in my life. Eli kissed me, and soon I started to unbutton his shirt. Once I managed to do that, we declothed each other on Eli's bed, to soon ending up passing out, sleeping on Eli's bed.
In the morning, I got up, and stumbled across Eli's room. I felt new, different. I put on my clothes, and kissed Eli. I went back home and acted like I was in my room the whole time. I did my daily routine, but I felt dirty. I put on my ring, so Darcy wouldn't be suspicious anymore. But now, she had a reason to be suspicious.
Throughout the week, I felt horrible. It was so horrible, that this happened. I was in my room studying until I heard Alli. "Clare?" Alli said, walking into my room. I turned around and I saw Jenna and Alli. "Hey guys! Ugh, the pain!" I answered. "Clare, you know how Jenna was pregnant, right?" Alli started. "Right. Why?" I asked. "I know the symptoms of pregnancy. Clare, I think you're pregnant. So-" Jenna jumped in. I got up and looked at my best friends. "Pregnant?" I repeated. Jenna held out her hand to reveal a box. "Pregnancy test. Take it. Test yourself. Please Clare, I really do think your pregnant." Jenna said.
I stood there, in shock. I took the test and started the timer. Every few minutes, I jumped up and check the time. "10 minutes? This seems more like 10 hours!" I said, scratching my head, and pacing around my room.
"I know. I felt that way too." Jenna said. "Clare, if you are…you know what, I'll be there for you." Alli said, hugging me. "Me too." Jenna added, and hugged me too. "Thanks guys." And the timer beeped. My heart felt like it stopped when I saw the pink little plus sign on the test.
Like I said, sorry for the wait! I'll update more often and all that. Sorry I didn't go into much detail about Eli and Clare doing "it" but I don't know much about that. Jenna is friends with Clare now since she broke up with KC, just to let you guys know. Review, subscribe and all of that ;D
