I DONT OWN DEGRASSI! I WISH I DID BUT I DONT! :]

CHAPTER 8

CLARE P.O.V

After the boat ride, Adam had changed and the tree of us played some board games. We also went to the tire swing that hung from one of the trees. At first I got on and Eli pushed me. Then Adam got on but dragged Eli on top of him, Adam told me to push the swing so I did.

They both went up in the air and came falling down on the ground. It was so funny! Then later Adam tried to climb a tree which he miserably failed at, as I took pictures. He then tried to chase a squirrel when the squirrel ended up chasing him. Then Eli and I were laughing hysterically!

It was about 5:30 in the afternoon when my mom called everyone in for dinner. I sat in the middle of Adam and Eli on the couch with my raviolis and sauce. Everyone was scattered around the living room because there wasn't enough space at the small, circular kitchen table. Later on Adam, Eli, and I went to grab the marshmallows and went outside to hunt for sticks.

"I wonder who's gonna find a stick first." I giggled walking to the campfire with the bag of marshmallows in my hand.

"Oh, that's so gonna be me." Adam said so cocky

"We have to look for a long, thin, stick." Eli said

"Okay! 1 2 3! Go find your stick!" I yelled running away to go hunt.

I searched under trees and in the bushes. I went a little further out until sure enough, there was a bush with long, thin branches. I snapped one off.

"Ouch!" I yelled. The wood cut into my skin, letting a little bit of blood drip for the open cut on my index finger.

"Clare?" Eli asked, walking in my direction.

"I'm fine." I said. "I found my stick!" I smiled

"Your finger." He said looking at it. "I have band aids in my bag, let me get one."

"Eli-"

He was already gone. I walked back down the hill and back to the rocky, sidewalk where Adam was standing with his stick proudly.

"Haha! I got one before you!" He said shoving the stick in my face."

I started laughing. "You are such a kid."

"I know you are but what am I?" He said laughing too

I was still laughing. I saw Eli come back with the band aid in his hand. With no talking he grabbed my finger and wrapped the bandaid around it.

"Thanks." I said feeling my face turn red.

"Anytime." He said smirking

There was a silence. Until Adam said," Can we go?"

We all walked to the campfire and heated our marshmallows over the fire.

"Adam!" I shrieked looking at his marshmallow.

"What?" He asked scared

"Your marshmallow, it's on fire!" I screamed

"What? Oh! !" He screamed running around in a circle with the marshmallow on fire in his hand, on the stick.

Eli and I were laughing hysterically.

"Blow it out!" Eli was laughing

"Nooooo!" Adam yelled still running.

"Hey, It's not on fire anymore!" I yelled His running must have blew it out. Adam didn't listen and was still running until he ran out of breath and stopped but then looked at his marshmallow.

"When did the fire go out?" He asked looking dumbfounded

The three of started laughing, then Adam stuffed the burnt marshmallow in his mouth which made us laugh harder.

I fed Eli and Adam a marshmallow. An hour later, it came to a point where we were marshmallowed out.

"Hey guys, do you still wanna go a walk?" Eli asked

"Of course!" Adam and I said in unison.

"Okay." He said.

First we went inside and it was only 6:45 so we had hot cocoa and played a quick card game. When we finished it was 7:20 so we decided to finally go on a walk. We went outside and started to walk in the direction the campfire was. Adam and I wore a jacket but Eli didn't.

We were about 3 minutes away from the cabin.

"Guys, I'm freezing. I'm gonna get my jacket. I'll catch up with you guys. See you in 5 minutes, I'll be back." Eli said running towards the cabin

"Do you want us to wait for you?" I asked

"No, it's fine." He yelled

Adam and I kept walking.

"I had a great time today Clare." Adam smiled

"Me too!" I said.

"Yeah! The bad thing is it's cold up here on the high hills. Back at home it's not warm but it's warmer. It's like 50 degrees out here!" He yelled shivering

"It's not that cold!" I said giggling and he was too.

"So, you and Eli are hanging out again?"

"Yeah, but just as friends. I don't want us to not hang out because one relationship fell down. It doesn't mean we can't be friends."

Adam nodded. "I'm glad you guys are hanging out again."

ELI P.O.V

I ran down the rocky path to the cabin. It was pretty cold for the Summer. I had a lot of un today and the good thing was that it was still pretty early. I was so glad that I was getting closer to Clare. I loved her, I was in love with her. So, I hated the times of not talking to her before but I'm glad that's over. It almost feel like the good times. I ran in the cabin and grabbed my jacket.

"Eli?" Bianca asked me

"What?" I asked

"Do you know where Katie and Drew are?" She asked me with a bit of annoyance in her voice.

"Uh, no. I haven't seen them."

"Okay." She said turning around and clenching her fists.

I closed the door behind me and walked outside putting my jacket on. Okay? That was weird.

I walked down the rocky side walk to where Adam and Clare were walking.

Clare P.O.V

Adam and I were laughing at the times of the 'planning the secret party in the woods.'

"That was a really fun party." I smiled "We did a good job planning it."

"Yeah we really did." He agreed "Though, my night had been later ruined by...Fiona."

"Im sorry." I said

"It's not your fault!" He smiled "The food was still really good!"

I laughed "Of course!"

We walked nearer to the campfire site until I saw the light of a fire in the distance.

"Adam?"

"Yeah?"

"I thought we put out the fire."

"We did." He said

"Then why is there a light from the fire?" I asked.

We looked at each other with wide eyes and ran to the campfire. When I ran over there, I expected to see a fire, a bad one. What I saw was unexpected. What I saw was wrong. What I saw, hurt. I saw Jake and Alli kissing.

"Jake, Alli?" I said with confused, hurt eyes.

The part of me that was healing from Jake opened up at that moment. At him...and at Alli. Why would she do this? I thought she was my friend! She's knows I'm not over him! Tears welled up in my eyes.

"What the fuck?" I heard Adam curse.

"Clare! I'm sorry, i-it's not what y-you think!"

"I've heard that line before!" I said.

I didn't know what else to do. I felt panic, worry, hurt, anger, sadness, shock, every possible feeling hit me. I ran. I ran into the woods.

"Clare!" I heard Adam calling after me.

I didn't care. I had tears streaming down my face. I walked and ran and walked. I had to get away. I looked up and stopped. I looked around. I didn't know where I was. I was lost, no cabin, campfire, nothing in sight. Only darkness. Where had I walked to?

Where am I?
