"And anywhere you go, I will happily follow. I wouldn't want to spend any more time away from you than we already have." Clare didn't want to be apart from Adam and she knew that deep down, if he were to run away to some far off place, she wouldn't hesitate to go with him. It was strange that she could feel this way so quickly, but she wouldn't change it if she could. She loved the ways he felt when she was with Adam. Changing the mood to a lighter one once again, Clare laughed. "But hills aren't too bad, right?" Clare asked, trying to hide the fact that there would be hill climbing. She smiled, trying to lighten the sour face Adam had on. "Come on, I promise it will be worth it," she said, leaning up and kissing his cheek.
Clare tugged on Adam's hand and pulled him along side her. "Alright, let's go, Romeo," she giggled. As they walked together, taking a more scenic route than going straight through town, Adam and Clare enjoyed the calming silence of the night. Even at Degrassi, the nights were filled with the faintest traces of noise, whether it be far away screams, shattering glass, banging on walls and doors, and even in the still nights, you can hear the clock's faint ticking. But on the outside, Clare and Adam could only hear the calming serenity of the night; crickets, animals running home to find shelter, owls, and water lapping away at the distant pond. They walked in silence, simply enjoying the company of the other. Clare enjoyed the feeling of just being near him, having him there to touch and hold. To kiss. And as fast as the thought came to her she brought Adam's hand up to her lips and kissed it.Ā
"We're almost there," Clare stated, pointing up to the magnificent hill they were about to climb. She could almost feel the sigh happen before Adam sighed aloud. Clare helped him keep up their pace and soon enough there they were. Clare pulled back a few branches, allowing Adam to go first. For the most part, nobody in the entire town knew of this place. Clare found it on one of her days of exploration, when she would cut class for any excuse possible. "This is it." Clare felt almost nostalgic.
At the very top of the hill was somewhat of a cliff. It was at the edge of town, which was clear because from the very top and in the dark night, they could see the entire town lit up light Christmas--though the view was entirely more spectacular during Christmas. It was one of Clare's guilty pleasures. She would never admit this to just anybody--Adam of course not just being anybody. He was special. Trees surrounded them from behind, blocking them from any pathways or roads. It was completely secluded from the rest of the world. It was a place Clare used to get away from everything. It was now a place they could both use to get away from everything. It probably wasn't as exciting as Adam's secret place, but it was one of Clare's homes away from home. It was her escape and she wanted to share it with Adam.
