So this is the first of my series of Oneshots. I think most of them will be pretty random but sweet :)

For this i just kept it short and sweet and kinda to the point. Plus i had a Blah day and well this helped me out a little because we all need an Eli as our rock (swoon =P)

So i hope you enjoy and review!

P.S. I do own a sweet little Yorki puppy who goes by the name of Teddy, but no Degrassi.


It was reassuring; the sound of his heart.

I don't know what it is, but the sound of a heartbeat being reassuring. It's like life is telling you, there is more to life than just existence.

I had just finished crying. I no longer felt the need to let out soft heartbreaking sobs. But there he was; still laying beside me, telling me that "everything would be okay".

Well of course everything would be okay.

To me, life is about over coming obstacles. And each obstacle is a test of life. Every time something bad happened I always told myself "This to shall pass".

But this time, it was different. I'm so used to being the strong one that I couldn't hold it in anymore. I no longer felt any need to not show my real emotions. I didn't want to hide behind the façade that I very often hide myself behind at school.

"Are you feeling better now?" he asked. I could tell he was hesitant to make a witty comments or scarcest remarks in fear of it coming off the wrong way.

"Somewhat…" I answered keeping my answers short.

I heard him sigh. He knew I was again trying to be strong and not cry, when in reality that's what I needed. He was my rock, he knew what I needed and how to help me get there.

He brought me closer to him to surround me in his warmth of the cool breezes from his window. We still sat in silence next to each other. "Are you sure?" he asked again.

"I can't deal with it right now…" before I was finished he cut me off saying that "Talking helps" . I knew this was true. In fact, I told him that many times when he was the person in distress. But me? Why couldn't I take my own advice.

"I just…" he began. "I don't like to see you upset, and I want you to get better." He pasued knowing I was still stuck on not talking. "Why were your parents fighting?" he asked this time looking at me seriously not taking no for an answer anymore.

"Because," I began, "I'm only a kid, and everything is falling apart." He looked at me confused. "Are they getting a divorce?" he asked silently after a few moments.

I buried my head into his chest and nodded. I felt his warmth overtake me once more. His arms wrapped around me; holding me tightly.

He didn't say anything, no stupid comments, no remarks on how I should be calm.

Instead, he picked up my head lifting my chin to bring us face to face, and whispered, "I love you, and I will never leave you." Before placing a small kiss on my forehead. Now making me cry.

No, not sad crying, happy crying that I have something that my parents don't, someone who will be beside me though everything.


Anyway That's all for now :)

Remember reviews make me happy!
