A/N I do not own degrassi, this is my first fanfic. Just enjoy, I hope you will. (:

Clare's POV

I stepped onto the roof of the 40 foot building. Not exactly sure how I got up here. I looked below, was I really gonna do this? I mean, I didn't wanna commit suicide or something. I just wanna feel a rush, to do something dangerous for once. Should jump off a bridge instead? At least I'd be in water.

What if I did get hurt? What if I did die? I stepped closer to the edge of the roof, then started pacing the edge. Ok, Clare calm down. Just because Darcy is leaving you for Kenya doesn't mean you jump off a bridge. Just because both your parents are dead and now you will be alone, doesn't mean you jump off a bridge.

As I was debating life or death I heard a "Hello! Miss, up there? Hello?" Well, I lost my footing and I'm pretty sure I just died.

Eli's POV

"Adam, chill. I just got done buying food. I'll be over soon." I said.

"okay Adam, whatever you say. I'll bring you some because you spend all your money on buying food, and since your so damn broke you can't buy more." I said making us both chuckle.

He then started talking about some girl he was dating. "yeah, Adam I'll meet her when I get there. 20 minutes or so, bye." I laughed, this was so typical. To be honest, I kinda wanna know this girl he was talking about. He hasn't been happy like that for a long time.

Walking across the street I saw something... or someone walk across a building. As I got closer I noticed it was a girl. I finally reached the building and was staring at her. She was tugging on her curly hair as she walked across. Finally I screamed up to her "Hello! Miss, up there? Hello?"

Clares POV

I shut my eyes as I fell, at least if I was going to crash on the ground I wouldn't see it. The thing is, I didn't crash on the ground. Someone had caught me. Frightened, I opened my eyes. It was a man in about his 20's with shaggy black hair, a few scattered freckles, and the most piercing green eyes. He wore eyeliner, but it looked good on him. He knew I was staring because he gave a puzzled look and quickly put me down. He awkwardly put out his hand.

"I'm Eli...Goldsworthy" he said. I smiled and shook his hand,

"Clare Edwards" He nodded.

"Um... thanks for saving me from, falling I guess."

"Can I ask why you just decided to commit suicide, or is this a regular thing I'm unaware of?" he asked.

"unintentional suicide," I answered with a joking smile. "and no it's not a regular thing."

He squinted, "Well, Clare Edwards I have to go." he said.

"Um, could I have your number, in case I ever decide to jump off things again?" He looked puzzled.

Stupid! Stupid! Why did I just say that? "Or not..." I started to turn away, but he stopped me and I gasped.

"No, it's fine. I swear, here let me just write it down. Got a pen?" I gave him one out of my purse and he wrote it down.

"Thanks," I said. He nodded, "call me if you ever need saving." he said. I chuckled and then he looked embarrassed. "Bye Eli Goldsworthy." I said, and pecked his cheek. I walked away, smiling at the new number I hand in hand.
