My first Degrassi story! Although, I've been a Degrassi fan for, what, two years now? Anyway, I love Drew and Katie together. So I figured one last story before I lose hope/interest in them forever.

I don't own Degrassi. This is the only disclaimer for this entire story.

Drew continued to pound the face of the guy below him. Adrenaline coursed through his veins, and anger replaced fear.

That was why he couldn't stop. Once he stopped, the powerful, uncontrolled feeling would disappear, leaving him with nothing but fear, and dark memories.

Blood trickled out of the guy's nose, but that didn't stop the constant punch after punch harshly connecting with his sore face.

"Drew! Drew!" one voice brought him back to reality. He didn't hear the excited yells or the ref telling him "That's enough!"

All he heard was her.

She pulled him off of the stricken teenager, looking up at him.

"You shouldn't have come here. I told you that," Drew said in a low vioce.

"I had to," She replied, slightly breathless, but strong.

And then she was in his arms. Who was comforting who wasn't considered. Katie was was assuring him, letting him know that she wasn't going anywhere. He was there, sturdy as a rock, as he apologized about her having to see that.

Neither used words, but somehow, in less than a second, they understood each other.

Then Drew noticed that his fight had attracted many thugs, and he put an arm around Katie, almost protectively, as he guided her out of the cage.

He didn't like the way gangsters were staring at a beautiful girl like her. He was the only thing protecting her right now.

Her face was buried in his bare chest.

That was good. He didn't want her to be scared. Of the thugs. Of this place. Of him.

They couldn't let go of each other. Clutching the other, they both slowly made it past Drew's car, before getting in and grasping each other's hand

Silence."I'm so sorry, Katie. I can't believe I let you see that. I can't believe you came. That place's dangerouse. It's my fault-"

"No, it's not," She whispered. "You told me not to come. And I don't regret anything."

"But those guys were staring at you like a piece of meat-"

"I'm not scared," murmured the redhead. "You make me feel so safe..."

"Why? I'm so... weak. And they're so big and tough."

"I trust you. You could protect me."

She squeezed his hand. He offered her a smile, but he didn't say anything. He wasn't going to get mad at those idiots with the googly eyes. Not while she was here.

Honestly? He hated that he was so violent sometimes. He hated that he was so vulnerable others.

She didn't notice. Instead, she just smiled back at him and settled into her seat.

He put the key in the ignition with his free hand, before leaving, not relaxing until the encouraging shouts of the fighters were completely gone.

But things never die down at Degrassi, do they? Anyway, the two have a struggle ahead, and a dangerous fight for love.

Review please! I love getting reviews, and if there are enough, I'll update VERY soon! :)
