Someone to hold onto: chapter 2

Clare lay in her bed, mindlessly staring at the wall. She did not care what she was looking at, or what song was now playing on her iPod. Clare was in deep thought. At this point it time, her main thoughts were on Drew.

Yes, Drew, the boy she had balled her eyes out in front of. The one she had had the NERVE to blame Alli's death on but then felt guilty, and apologized to him in shame. And the one who's arms she had cried in for about an hour or so.
He was Drew. The star football player. The one whom's name girl screamed from the bleachers. The one who had cheated on her now-pronounced dead best friend. He was that typical high school guy that had a chance with basically every girl he came across. That is, until he cheated on Alli and got a bad rep with the ladies and was left with a gang affiliated chick who got him into some potentially fatal situation...But that's just what Clare heard. But Clare being the person she is did not pay attention to what she heard unless it was coming straight out of that person's mouth. Other than that, she could care less about silly rumors. Even the not-so-silly ones like these. Yet, now here she lay in her bed, pondering the thought of whether it could be true or not.

And as she tried to convince herself to stop pondering these things, she just could not help herself. Drew Torres was said to be by some "The most heartless being on the entire planet"-good girls that made the 'mistake' of falling for him, by others, he was "Oh so hot, I wish he was mine"-ditzy cheerleaders who had yet to date him, and to one, "A real jerk, but kind-hearted when he wants to be"-Adam Torres.

But just what was Clare supposed to think of this guy?...she had no idea. She didn't know what she was SUPPOSED to think of him and she didn't know what she DID think of him. But one thing was for sure, her 'SUPPOSED' and 'DID', did not match up with each other.

The usual level-headed, bold opinioned, fully aware of everything and in touch with her emotions Clare Edwards...was MIA at the moment. Dare I say... Clare Edwards was confused.

What she didn't understand was how a guy could be seen as so many different things by different people. Was he the jerk that so many girls said he was? Was he the cute, sensitive jock that the oblivious ones saw, or... Was he the misunderstood, warm-hearted guy that Adam described him as...?

Clare had no idea. But all she knew was that yesterday afternoon; he was the only one who understood what she was feeling and needed just as much comfort as she did.

You see... They were both feeling the guilt. The guilt of not treating Alli as she should have been treated. Drew had felt the guilt of letting their nice relationship come to a downfall by the sudden unfaithfulness he had acted on.
And Clare.

She had broken a very important rule. Like part of the girl code. She had broken the girl version of "bros before hoes". Clare should have been equally disappointed in her ex-boyfriend and Alli when they had kissed. But no, she couldn't just break up with Jake and drop Alli as a friend. Or even just keep Alli and drop Jake. She had to go with the mistake of letting the betrayal of her friend kissing her boyfriend get to her more than Jake's part. She decided to take the jerk back.

Of course, after Alli's death, Clare kicked Jake to the curb. But, that may have just had to do with the circumstances of her death.

Clare felt a lump in her throat that now refused to go away. She felt her stomach turn, uneasy as she let the guilt get to her once again. She tried to clear her mind but it was almost impossible when she felt like this. How could she clear her mind when Alli was DEAD. And it was all her fault...
No, don't think like that, Clare, she thought to herself. It's not like you put that gun to her head and pulled the trigger...
She did it herself.

Okay, so I guess you can say this was kind of a filler, buuut...what can I say, I like fillers ;) they're fun to write. But oh, wait! Do not fear! The awesome classic degrassi drama is here!...well not yet anyways. In the next chapter, it just wouldn"t have rhymed ;P.

Review por favor... And HONESTY is ALWAYS the best policy...especially on :)
