Disclaimer: Of course I don't own Degrassi. I wish I did.

The events of a couple hours before flashed before my eyes faster than I could possibly imagine. I wanted to pause, rewind, and play back to a time where things weren't as shattered as they were now. My dress from the dance still laid lifeless on me. Things like that didn't seem as important as they once were.

My boyfriend had almost died. The one person that understood me more than anyone else was about to slip from my grasp. I hadn't ever experienced death up close before, but just thinking about him being taken away from me shatters my state of mind.

The clock read four o'clock am. I should have been asleep. But after what had happened I didn't think anyone could sleep.

Bleep.

My computer flickered on.

eli-gold49: if our relationship could mean anything, anything at all to you, open your front door.

My front door? Oh no….

I tip toed down stairs and made sure that I wouldn't wake my parents up. I peeked open the door a little bit and Eli's big green eyes were smiling back at me. He was still wearing his black button from the dance. "Surprise?" He says. He glanced at my wardrobe "So, you couldn't sleep either?"

"Eli. Have you lost your mind? It's.."

"I know I know. I have a watch. I know you probably aren't in a place to talk to me right now. But, I couldn't sleep. And frankly, neither did Adam."

"Adam's here?" I glanced behind him and saw Adam sitting in the passenger seat of Eli's hearse drumming his fingers on the dashboard.

"Yeah, he is. But Clare, I'm not here just to inform you Adam's in my hearse. The reason I came here is because I have to get away for a while, and I wanted you to come with me. Me and Adam. After what happened I realized I needed to grab life by the horns and see where it takes me. That is at least until school starts up again."

"Eli, I'm going to my Grandma's. Didn't I tell you that a couple of days ago?"

"You're scared." He says to me completely avoiding my question.

He was right. But, I didn't want to admit it to him. "I don't want my parents to get worried."

"You can keep coming up with lame excuses Clare. Just tell me the real reason that you don't want to go, and I guess I'll see you in two weeks."

I searched my mind for a reason not to go that I could sell to him. But I knew nothing could work. I needed to get away, just like him. I wanted to be mad at him so bad. But, when I saw that smirk of his I couldn't even resist.

He grabbed my hand and traced little circles into my palm "Forget them, Clare. Forget them all. Come with me where you'll never, ever have to worry about grown up things again."

"Never is an awfully long time." I responded. He was Peter Pan, and I was Wendy. I just hoped that the place we would end up at was as great as Neverland.

"How's two weeks sound?" He waits for a responce.

"Splendid." I say in a English accent.

I could see the relief on Eli's face. "That's what I thought you'd say. Now, seeing that you're dressed and all we should head out before the sun comes up."

"Okay, but before I go I have one thing I'd like to do."

"Anything."

"Just wait here." I walked over to the fridge and grabbed a sticky note and a pen. My parents needed to know that something horrid hasn't happened to me.

Hey. When you read this, I'll be gone. I'm sorry I didn't tell you before hand, but I need this. And after everything that has happened between you two I just needed to get away. Don't call Alli. She doesn't know anything. Don't call me. I won't pick up. I'll be back before school starts up again. I love you guys so much. But please don't freak out.

Oh, and tell Grandma that I'm sorry.

-Clare

I kissed the photo with whatever lipstick was still lingering on my lips and stuck it to the fridge . Now, I didn't feel guilty for being so spontaneous.

I grabbed a few necessities and stuck them in a bag as quickly as I possibly could. Like Eli said, we needed to head out. I went back to my front door and he stood outside patiently waiting for me.

"So, final decision. Stay, or leave?" He weighed out the situation with his hands.

"Let's just go before I change my mind." I said. A big smile landed on Eli's face and we both headed out to the hearse. Adam was asleep in the passenger's seat.

"DUDE!" Eli yelled in his ear.

Adam jolted up "WHAT ELI! Why do you feel the need to wake me up?"

"Because we now have a new traveler with us, Saint Clare." He said.

"You shouldn't call me that."

"But it suits you so well!." He smirked. "But, let's stop with the flirty banter. We might give Adam the runs again. Now, where to guys?"

"Anywhere but here." I said.

"Ditto." Adam replied.

"Okay, anywhere but here or bust!" He turned on the ignition "But who knows, we might end up some where we weren't even expecting to go."

"Don't pain me with your insightful hoo ha. Let's just get the hell out of here." Adam exclaimed.

"You heard the man. Let's go!" I said.

"Fine, fine! Just let me handle the wheel. I know exactly where we should go."

I started to get a bit frightened. With Eli behind the wheel, who knew where we'd end up? But, I knew if I wanted an adventure I had to be fearless. So, I gave him all the responsibities of the destination and enjoyed the journey.

Reviews would surely be wonderful. Tell me what you love, what you hate, and if I should continue, it doesn't matter. I just want feedback :D
