Chapter 1 It All Falls Down

Clare Edwards was your typical high school senior she had it all, good grades a loving family and an amazing boyfriend.

She was on the fast track to achieving her dream of becoming a journalist and Clare fully expected to go into this year with no drama, but deep down she knew that being at Degrassi practically meant drama wasn't too far behind.

What she didn't expect the type of drama she ended up with.

Clare had broken up with Eli shortly before the end of her junior year because he got into film school New York and they both agreed that the long distance thing would be too much to handle and so the two decided it was best if they just went their separate ways and remained friends.

During the time after Eli left for New York Clare started spending a lot more time at the Torres house not only with her best friend Adam but she had also started spending time with Drew,in fact Clare had spent so much time with Drew that one day during a movie day at the house Clare asked Drew to be her boyfriend.

The two started a whirlwind love affair that to everyone around them had said looked full proof.

Clare and Drew swore they would be together no matter what and handle senior year at Degrassi together, but one night of bad timing timing sent that plan up in smoke.

Flashback late Summer

Clare had been feeling off for the past few weeks and couldn't figure out why, she had just chalked it up to her erratic sleep patten which she developed since dating Drew and as a result she would spend most of her free time at parties with her friend and boyfriend but she was throwing up and just feeling a little off for the few weeks so she decided to call Jenna since Alli was busy at science camp and wouldn't be back til the following night.

"Hey Jenna its Clare."

Whats up Clare you sound freaked out."

"Can you come over in about an hour?"

"Sure but why?"

"I cant tell you over the phone just please come over."

"Okay Clare I will."

After Clare hung up she took a quick walk over to the drugstore and picked up a pregnancy test.

Clare was hoping that she wasn't pregnant but wanted to be sure since her and Drew had been a little less then careful the last few times they had sex.

After picking up the pregnancy test she decided to call Drew on his cell for support.

Clare made the calls and her calls went straight to voice mail.

It was at this point that Clare headed home and decided to wait for Jenna.

Luckily for Clare no one was home Clare figured Helen and Glen had gone out for the afternoon.

Clare tried Drew's cellphone two more times before giving up and listening to music until Jenna showed up.

Two hours later Jenna finally showed up at the house.

"Hey Clare so whats up?"

"Jenna I think I may be pregnant."

Jenna just stood shocked for a minute before speaking.

"Clare are you sure?"

"Well no I brought a test to verify but if I am I know its Drew's because I didn't sleep with anyone else."

"Alright Clare just go take he test and we'll figure out the rest later."

"Thanks Jenna."

Jenna followed Clare to the bathroom and waited outside for Clare to take the test.

Three minutes later Clare returned with tears in her eyes.

"Jenna its its.. positive I'm pregnant." Clare cried.

"Clare don't worry about it I'm sure Drew will understand."

"What if he doesn't and what will my mom say I'm so screwed."

"Clare don't worry you've got me and Alli to help you and as far as your mom I'm sure she'll understand now lets go find Drew."

Clare and Jenna left the Edwards home and made the short trip to the Torres' house.

When Jenna and came to the door they noticed a blue car in the driveway.

"Clare I wonder whose car that is?"

I don't know Jenna but I don't like the way this looks Ill use the key Drew gave me he might be in the basement."

Clare opened the door and found that the living room was empty but loud music was coming from the basement.

Clare and Jenna made there way towards the basement where they could hear moaning over the music.

Clare and Jenna rushed downstairs and were shocked at what they saw.

Drew was buried between the legs of some blonde.

"Drew." Clare called out in discuss as Drew turned around.

"Clare this isn't what it looks like." Drew said as both he and the blonde rushed to cover up.

"Save it Drew."

"Clare please forgive me."

"No Drew we're over and just so you know I'm pregnant I just thought you should know."

"Wait a second you cant be we used protection."

"Well it didn't work I am what are you going to do?"

"Ill tell you what I'm going to do nothing because I'm done with you Clare I'm with Rachel now and I want nothing to do with the brat you're having."

Clare couldn't believe what she was hearing she walked over to Drew and slapped him.

"Fine if that's what you want you got it but I'm keeping this baby and you'll never see it."

Clare and Jenna left the home as Clare tossed the key on the floor by the door and left.

"I cant believe that ass hole used me." Clare cried.

"Don't worry Clare you don't need him."

So with Drew out of my life how do I tell my mom?"

We'll tell her together if anything happens I'm sure Alli will let you stay over at her place."

I hope you're right Jenna."

The duo made their way back to Clare's where Clare found Glen and Helen watching TV.

"Mom Glen I have something to tell you."

Glen turned off the TV noticing this had to be big if Clare was crying.

"What is it Clare?" Helen asked.

Well I took a pregnancy test today because I felt off and it came back...

"Came back what Clare?" Helen asked getting more angry by the second

"It came back positive." Clare cried.

"Helen just lost it Clare get the hell out I'm done with get your stuff leave and never come back."

Clare ran up to her room and with Jenna's help packed her things and left.

Clare knew it now this year was going to be anything but easy.
