I DONT OWN DEGRASSI (;

Chapter 10

Eli P.O.V

I woke up and it was 10:37. I smiled. I remember Clare telling me she would give me a 2nd chance. We were all leaving today, thank god. I looked to my left to see no sight of Clare. I got up. Walked in the kitchen, no sight of Clare. I looked around. Everyone else, except Katie or was doodling was sleeping.

I walked outside for a minute to see Clare laying on the ground, looking up at the sky. I smirked. She had changed her clothes and a side of her hair up. I walked back inside and changed my clothes, brushed my teeth, combed my hair. I put my jacket and shoes on and went outside to sit with her.

"Hey." I said walking to her

"Good Morning." She smiled "Did you sleep well?"

"Very good." I sat down next to her "How's your hand?"

"Better." She said looking down at it. "Some blood leaked out though."

"We'll just put a fresh wrap on it." I smirked

"Okay." She said sitting up.

"What time did you wake up?" I asked

"About 9:30." She said looking up at the sky "Are you hungry?"

"Nope. Are you?" I said wiggling my eye brows

"No." She giggled

"So, are you gonna make things right with Alli...and Jake?" I asked laying down on the ground.

"Yeah." Clare said looking down at me "Before we leave. I can't be mad at Jake, I mean he is my step-brother...my friend. And I can't be mad at my best friend, Alli."

I nodded. "Are you still mad at them?" I asked looking into her eyes

"No." She said looking away and inhaling through her mouth. Same old Clare, being awkward. "It wasn't their fault. Well maybe it was. THe thing is...Jake and aren't dating so he can kiss anybody he wants. Alli...she knows...about him and how I still have small feelings for him. Seeing my best friend that I trust with everything kiss my ex boyfriend that I'm not fully over. It hit a nerve, it hurt."

"So, you don't forgive her?" I asked playing with her fingers.

"I don't know." She sighed "Should I?"

"I don't know Alli that well, Clare. But you do. Has she ever done something like this?"

She shook her head no.

"Then if you want...give her a second chance. But if you don't, that's fine too." I sat up

"I gave you a second chance, so I'm gonna give her one." She smiled.

"Cool." I said smirking

We were face to face.

"Thanks Eli." She said and kissed my cheek and grabbing my hand to stand up along with her.

I pulled her to the door and went inside. We both sat and had some coffee and her mom and step dad woke up.

"Hi kids." Clare's mother smiled as she grabbed a kettle for some tea.

"Hi." Glen said still groggy reaching for the coffee.

Clare and I sat on our sleeping bags and played tic tac toe with a pencil and paper.

"Hey mom?" Clare asked

"Yes?" Clare's mom sat down on a stool in the kitchen.

"What time are we leaving?" Clare asked putting an X in the bottom middle box.

"Maybe about 3: 00 or 2: 00. It's 11:00 right now so we should start waking people up."

"I have to start making breakfast." Glen said taking out eggs from the fridge and bacon too.

"So Clare, what are you doing for the Summer?" I asked her smirking

"Just relaxing. Hanging out with friends, nothing really." She said.

"Am I considered one of those friends?" I smirked

"Yes." She giggled "I win." She said looking down at our tic tac toe game

"I can't beat you Clare, you're to good." I laughed and she did too.

"Gooooooooood Morning." Adam said jumping out of the sleeping bag

"Good Morning?" I said confused "Why so hyper?"

"Because! I'm going home to somewhere where there's a TV!" He smiled

Clare and I laughed.

"I'm hungry." He said while walking to the kitchen. While he walked he tripped over Marisol's leg and fell on top of her.

"Get off of me." Marisol said gripping the pillow.

Clare, Katie and I were laughing so hard.

"I'm trying!" Adam argued "My foot is stuck under your arm!"

"My arm is stuck under your foot!" She challenged

"Will everyone shut up for once and let people sleep around here?" Bianca screamed into her pillow

Clare's mom and step dad were rolling their eyes and stepping outside to get away from the screaming.

"Well tell Adam here to get off of me!" Marisol yelled

"Well it's not his fault your ass is so wide, it's easy to stumble over. C'mon, it takes up the whole room."

Adam was laughing hysterically. Clare wasn't laughing, she was worried. Bianca was giggling. Everyone else had woken up and was laughing.

"Excuse me? I am what you call a skinny minnie. You are just jealous because I'm so much prettier than you. My ass is not any bigger than your head."

"Are you saying Bianca has a big head?" Adam asked still laughing and still on top of Marisol.

"Yeah I am saying that." Marisol rolled her eyes

"Wow, You really need glasses. Two reasons: One, you think my head is big which let me check. No it's not. Two, you think you're pretty." Bianca rolled her eyes

"That's enough! I've had it with her." Marisol pushed Adam off of her while Adam fell on me. Marisol attacked Bianca and pulled her on the floor and they were pulling each other's hair.

"Eli? What do we do?" Clare asked.

Katie and Drew got up and tried to break it up. At first they didn't. The lamp went across the room but luckily didn't break because Jake caught it. Finally, Katie grabbed Marisol's hand and leg off of Bianca's neck. Drew pulled off Bianca's grip from Marisol's shirt and hair.

"It's all taken care of." I said to Clare who was hiding behind me

"That was the best cat fight ever." Adam laughed once more.

Katie took Marisol outside and Drew dragged Bianca to the couch.

Glen and Clare's mom came back and went back to cooking. Alli went to go check on Katie and Marisol.

"Well that was very interesting." Clare said, I smirked

"Breakfast is served!" Glen called out

Clare P.O.V

After breakfast, everyone was packing to go home. I was excited, I missed home and so much had happened here that I couldn't get over.

Eli got the first aid kit and wrapped my hand with a fresh wrap again. My hand was healing and was a lot better. It was 1:00 and we had 2 hours before we would leave. Everyone went outside and Katie and Drew flew kites they brought. Marisol and Alli were doing each other's hair. Jake was texting. Adam and Bianca were laughing about Marisol. Eli and I were my mom put the bags in the cars. Eli, Adam and I would be in the back of the car that Jake was gonna drive. Katie was gonna sit with Drew and Bianca in the second row and no one in the passenger seat.

In the other car Alli and Marisol were gonna sit together. We couldn't have Bianca and Marisol in the same car again. Eli and I walked to where everyone was and sat on the grass.

"I need to talk to Alli." I said to Eli getting up.

"Good luck." He smiled to me and I walked towards Alli

I had to act smooth and gentle. I wasn't going to act angry, I was going to act as I was. The true blue truth. As I approached Alli, Marisol was finishing braiding the back of Marisol's hair. She had pulled half of Marisol's hair up and braided it and tied it in the back. Marisol got up as she saw me.

"Can we talk?" I asked Alli

"Sure, sit." She said with no expression patting the rock next to her.

"About Jake-"

"Clare, I'm so sorry. I know that makes me a horrible friend it was just the heat of the moment and I just kissed him. We both did." She frowned and put her head down in shame

"It's okay, I forgive you." I said "If you want to date him-"

"No! I don't! I have a wonderful boyfriend, Dave. That's why I regret it."

"It's okay, Alli. I understand that it was a mistake." I grinned

"Okay, good." She sighed in relief "Now I have to figure out a way to tell Dave."

"I'm sure he'll understand." I said

"I hope." She said standing up and walking inside.

I saw Jake and headed in his direction. He was eating a brownie and texting.

"Hey, Jake." I said and avoided eye contact

"Hi Clare." He said awkwardly

"Can we talk?" I sighed

"What is there to say?" He asked

"A lot." I said sitting beside him. I saw Eli look in our direction and look away. He laid down and looked up at the sky.

"Well say it."

"Jake. We. Are. Over. And I know that and you know that."

"Then why the hell did you go crazy when Alli and I kissed?"

"Because Jake, I'm still getting over you. And my best friend kissed the guy that I was getting over. It hurt." I said

"Okay, I can understand that."

"Jake. I'm not going to say we're going to get back together." I said

"I know, what are you trying to say?" He said looking at me

I sighed "We are brother and sister. We can't hate each other. I know it's weird. But we have to forget about our relationship. We have to find new people." I said

"I understand." Jake smirked

"Good." I said

"Friends?" He said holding out his hand

"Friends." I said pulling him into a hug. "We can hug Jake, we're siblings."

"It's still kinda awkward." He laughed

"Yeah." I said. "Let's forget about the sibling part, we are good friends." I smiled

"Good." He smirked

I walked away towards Eli and I was happy. I fixed everything.

"So how'd it go?" Eli asked me

"Good, very good." I smiled

"Good." He laughed getting up

Glen and Jake called everyone to the cars to jump in. We all ran and were anxious to get home.

Did you like it? :] IT"S NOT DONE! MORE TO COME!
