Chapter One

I pulled away from the kiss with a huge smile on my face. "Eli, can I stay the night tonight? Will your parents care?" His face brightens up with joy and mischief, before pulling me towards the door.

"I'll call them on the way to the after party." He says and sees that I was about to make a comment, but made me stop. "Clare, I'm the director, I have to go for at least ten to fifteen minutes tops." I sigh and nod my head as we walk out to the parking lot and into Bullfrog's car. "My parents said that I've been doing so well with my therapy and taking my medicine, that I get to drive this to all of the play's showings." He puts the car into drive before pulling through the parking lot and then onto the street. I was watching house after house go by before I asked where the after party was at. "Tori's house. Remember she's the niner that played the Nurse and she is Tristan's best friend." We sit in silence for about ten more minutes until he finally pulls up into the Santamaria's drive way.

I look at their house with surprise before turning towards Eli. "Is her family rich or something?" He shrugs as he turns the car off and we walk towards the door. We didn't even have to knock since someone had posted two signs onto the door.

The first one was: Degrassi's Romeo & Jules After Party!

And the second one was: We owe it all to our favorite director... ELI GOLDSWORTHY!

I have only seen Eli really smile about four times, well now five... The first time he ever said "I love you" with me saying it back, when we got back together, when I told him "I love you" since we have gotten back together, the first time he has actually said it with words, which was tonight and this moment right here. "Well, let's go in and have you see all of your fans," I tell him with a smile. Eli laughs as he opens the door to where it look like the party had begun. We were barely inside for three minutes when one of the cast or crew members came up to us.

"Eli! You're here!" A small niner greeted us with a huge smile on her face and a tall boy with brown hair behind her.

My boyfriend chuckled and greeted the girl. "Of course I did, Tori but I can't stay too long. I just wanted to tell you all hi and make a speech before taking Clare home." He said with a wink directed towards me.

"Oh, of course! It will be late soon... I know my parents want everyone gone by midnight, one at the latest. Oh! I feel so horrible! Hello, I'm Tori Santamaria and you must be Clare Edwards! I have always seen you in the theater room around Eli before going leaving for class." Tori said very fast before talking once again, "Oh and this is my boyfriend, Zig Novak. Zig, you know about Eli, but this is his girlfriend, Clare."

I smiled at the two niners before speaking, "It's nice to meet both of you. Tori, you have a beautiful home and I really do wish we could stay for the whole party but my mom is kind of strict."

"Oh, it's fine! We are also going to have another one after the last showing! Um... I know Adam, Imogen, Fiona, and Tristan were looking for you, Eli. They are all somewhere back there... Oh and I know Jenna and Alli were hoping Clare was going to be here... Alli was worried about something." Tori says before pulling Zig away to find her friends.

Eli turned towards me with a smirk on his face. "Okay, you go find Alli and Jenna and see what is making Alli so nervous. I'm going to find and speak with everyone, then call my parents to see if you staying over is okay, and then I'll make my big speech before we leave. Okay?" I nod my head yes and lean in to give him a small kiss before trying to find Alli and Jenna.

While I was looking for them, I send Katie a text for a very hopeful request in my mind. Katie, what are you doing tonight?

It only took about five seconds before my phone buzzed in my hands. Um, right now, I'm hanging with Jake until my 11 o'clock curfew, you?

Well, I want to stay at Eli's tonight... To kind of make up for missing the play tonight and also because of my stupid plan... Nothing would happen, because I don't even think we are ready for those next few steps... But anyways... I need an alibi to tell my mom. I text back as I look for Alli or Jenna's head in the crowd.

Sure, I can do that. So, do you know if you are staying yet?

Nope... He has to call his parents to ask... They have become way stricter since the last time we went out... I'm sure he will tell them what had gone on with Asher and I will be allowed to stay.

Okay, text me, and I'll make sure Maya doesn't say anything. "See you tonight." She sends me once I finally had found Alli and Jenna. "Okay, why are you so worried?" I call out to Alli as I made my way over to them.

"I was worried because I thought you were going to do something stupid!" Alli shouted at me.

Jenna looked confused considering only a few of my friends knew what Asher did to me. "Don't worry... I was going to do something very stupid but I talked myself out of it... And Jennifer and I are going to the police tomorrow." Alli sighed and I decided that Jenna needed to know what happened. "Asher, my boss at the Interpreter, had kissed me and then tried again before getting me fired." Jenna, Alli, and I started to talk about what the trial will be about when my phone buzzed. Clare, my parents said it was fine for you to stay over. Also, they know about the Asher thing... I had to tell them because they wouldn't have allowed you to stay otherwise. I'm about to make my speech in the main room. Love you! I smile before texting Katie my answer and my mom that I was going to Katie's house before we waited with battered breath for Eli to make his way over to the radio to turn it off and speak.

"Okay, I just want to say this year and play was a whole lot better, mainly because I've been taking my medicine and I had all of you here to help me keep my head. So thank you! Also, I'm so glad that all of you were able to give me your time for this play. I know we have received a lot of hate, some more than others, I'm talking mainly about Dave and Tristan. Thank you guys for having to put up with all of the small minded students that roam our school's halls. You guys mean so much to me and I hope you all realize that every single one of you has helped me get closer to NYU. Thank you and goodnight!" Eli ends with a smirk before coming over towards me, to grab my hand before we run out. "My mom said she left you a pair of pajamas on my bed." He says as opens the car door for me. "I'm going to sleep on the couch, to make you feel more comfortable. I bet these past few weeks, you have probably felt weird with me touching you."

I didn't say anything until we were on our way towards his house. "Eli, you were seriously one of the only guys I didn't mind being near me because I love you. And can you not sleep on the couch? I already feel bad for the fact that I missed your play and that I almost put naked photos of myself on Asher's computer... I hope you know that so far you're the only guy I want to see me topless or even naked..."

Eli was quiet for a few minutes before pulling into his driveway. "Clare, I'm really glad you didn't do it... I love you."

"I love you too." We lean in to kiss each other lightly before he gets out and opens my door for me. "I hope you don't mind that Katie knows that I'm staying the night. She's my alibi for tonight and early tomorrow morning, since she is taking me to the police department." I said as he opens the front door for me.

As we walk upstairs, we were quiet. "Clare, I want to be there tomorrow... I have to be there for you... Also, there's an extra toothbrush in the bathroom, its blue." I smile at him and pick up the pajamas before making my way to the bathroom to change. Once I made my way back towards his room he had changed and brushed his teeth in his own bathroom. "I hope you don't mind that I sleep shirtless when it's hot in my room." I smile and shake my head no as I laugh and get in his bed.

We were laying down and the silence was killing me. "Eli?"

"Hmm?"

I roll over with a sigh, "Kiss me." Of course Eli never needed me asking him more than once. As we kissed, I felt his hands on my waist. "Eli, you do know you can touch me," I say as I pull away to take a deep breath.

"I can?" He asked very nervous, most likely because of what happened with Asher and the fact I have never asked him to do so before. I decided that I needed to take control before placing his hand over my pajama top. After that, he was all over the place. One hand was almost always playing with one of my breasts and the other was wrapped up into my hair. We were probably making out for a while with his hands on me when one slowly started to move towards the hem of my pajama top. "Can I take this off?" He asked with a shaky voice.

I sigh and look into his eyes, "I might be ready for you to touch me there, but I'm just not ready for you to see me topless or naked yet... Those pictures could have ruined my life if they made it on to the Internet. But you can... Um, feel underneath the shirt..." He smirks at me before slowly moving his hand underneath my shirt and up to my uncovered breast.

"So, you go bra-less at night?" He asked with another smirk and I roll my eyes as I pull his face to mine. We make out for at least another thirty minutes before the long day we had knocked us both out.
