Degrassi: The Story Of The Un-Expected (Eclare Fan-Fiction) #Wattys2016

Hideaway

The drive back to the Bhandari house was surprisingly long. I was about done crying but still had tears in my eyes.

I sat in the back of the car with Jenna hugging me while Alli drove. They still didn't know what was going on. It was nice to know that they wiuld help me no matter what.

As soon as we arrived at the house, Alli parked and we all went inside. As we walked up to the girls' room, my last tear fell. Well, I hope it was my last. I seriously think I would've been dehydrated by now because of the number of times that I have cried.

As we reached the room we all sat down and Alli said,"Okay what is up. Clare you aren't being yourself" Jenna nodded.

I handed them the pictures of my ultrasound. They dropped it and cupped their hands over their mouths at the same time. Jenna said,"Oh my god Clare" then they both ran over to hug me.

Then she said,"May I ask, why did you come to spend the night? Is it because you didn't want your mom to come over to your house and find out?"

I replied,"Uh, no. When we were in the parking lot after my appointment at the doctor's, Drew and Eli were fighting about me being pregnant so I yelled and left" I then broke out into tears.

Alli confirmed,"So you're hiding from Eli and Drew"

I nodded. Alli's phone beeped. It was a text from Dallas. I ignored it and said,"Come on, I don't want to sit here and mope about my problems. Let's go do something fun"

They both smiled. "We could bake a cake; I'm pretty sure we have some ingredients to make one" said Alli.

"Awesome" I replied.

Jenna added,"Ooh! And the Bhandari's have a huge amount of movies that we can watch tonight"

"Okay it's settled! Our night is going to be drama-free" I said with a slightly fake smile.

My phone vibrated. It was a text from Eli asking where was I. Then a text from Darce, and Jake asking the same question. I chose to ignore it. I didn't wanna tell Eli and if I told Darcy and Jake, they would definitely tell him.

I don't know how much longer I would stay, but I just can't move on. I thought.

A few minutes later we walked downstairs and to the kitchen. While Alli was searching for the ingredients, I decided to be nice and text Eli back.

ELI: Seriously Clare?

ME: What?

"Who are you texting?" Asked Jenna. "Eli. I told him not to worry about me and to buzz off" I replied.

Alli butted in,"Clare you can't just go around telling people that! This isn't like you! Eli is just trying to help!"

"Well maybe I don't need his help! Maybe I can raise and deliver this baby on my own! Even though we are married doesn't mean that I have to let him help! It's not even his child!"

"CLARE! What has gotten into you?!" Yelled Jenna.

"Everything is messed up! You know what? I'm going to stay at my dad's!" I yelled back as I gathered my things and left"
