Author's Note: Heyy Everyone:)
Alright so with this being my very first One-Shot, I decided to do a Song-Shot thingy.
It's also a Degrassi: The Boiling Point take off.:)
So I hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Degrassi, or the song. Oh! That reminds me...
The song is "Run Away" By Tyler Brown Williams.

"If I could climb into the tallest tree, I hope you know that I would take you with me.
If I could dive into the darkest storm, I'd put you in my arms. If I would dive into the
deepest sea, I'd put you on my back and carry you with me. But I know I can never
do these things; to make you proud of me. So run away; run away with me.
Oh, to a safer place, I can set you free."
"Clare!" I called up to her window. I waited, contemplating on whether or not to climb up, or toss something through it. Muffled noises moved near, and I watched as she poked her head out.
"Eli, just one second." She whispered loud enough so I could hear. She smiled as she looked down at me, then disappeared.
About ten minutes ago, she called me hardly able to speak through the sobs that had racked through her.
Her parents were fighting again, and she had had enough; she couldn't handle it.
I had told her that if she wanted to come over, maybe spend the night if it was that bad, that my parents wouldn't mind.
In fact, my parents were as in-love with her as I was. They absolutely adored Clare; they already thought of her as part of our family.
A few minutes later, Clare tossed bags through the window, and they landed softly on the ground next to me.
I picked them up, and took them to Morty as she climbed down the over-grown tree that was next to the house.
When I reached Morty, I tossed her stuff into the back and leaned next to the car as I waited for her to come over.
She mumbled something at the house, and ran to me.
"Eli, what would I do without you? I mean, you're saving me; from my own parents for God's sake!" She said, wrapping her arms around my waist.
I hugged her back, and smiled into her auburn curls inhaling her scent; vanilla and cinnamon, the perfect combination.
"Clare," I said lifting my head so I could talk clearly. "I'd do anything to help you." She nodded her head, and pulled back looking me in the eyes.
Her ocean clear blue eyes were glazed over, about ready to have a flood.
"Don't worry, everything will work itself out. I believe that it will; a girl as great as you, doesn't deserve to live life like Hell." I cupped her face in my hands, before lightly pressing my lips to hers; but only for a second. When we broke apart, she grasped me into another tight hug.
"Can we go home now?" She said, smiling at me while a single tear left her perfect eyes.
I nodded and walked her to the passenger side of Morty, helping her in.
When she was settled I walked around to my side, and jumped in, starting Morty up and backing out of the drive.
"The truth is, I have never climbed a tree. I run away, from every storm I see. The ocean scares the living hell outta me; and I might see...
I get along with everyone I meet. The person in me, isn't what it seems.
My heart is tired, my soul is weak; and I don't think you'd run away, run away with me.
Oh to a safer place, I can set you free."
We sat in silence and I kept stealing quick glances at Clare; she was calming herself down by taking deep breaths and shutting her eyes every now and then. I sighed and placed my hand on her knee, giving it a slight squeeze. I hated seeing her in so much pain; if it weren't her parents causing it, I would have confronted them forever ago. But I couldn't: Clare wouldn't let me. She didn't want them to hate me like they hated each other. She moved my hand taking it in her own grasp, and played with my fingers. We pulled up to my house about five minutes later, and I climbed out walking to the back to grab Clare's things. She stood next to me, and got one of the bags.
"Are you sure that they'll be alright with me staying here? I mean, I didn't actually tell my parents..." She said, looking down at her feet. I laughed and took her hand.
"Clare, haven't I told you enough already? They adore you; they even said that you could spend the night whenever you wanted. They weren't joking you know." She nodded and looked up at me, thankfulness written all over her face. "Come on, they're waiting." I pulled her through the drive and into the house; my parents were sitting down watching a television show on the Discovery Channel.
"Clare!" They both yelled getting up from their spots and engulfing her in a hug. She giggled and hugged them back, saying hello. "Eli actually meant it when he said that you were going to spend the night!" My mom practically squealed, clapping her hands like a maniac. Clare nodded her head, and took my hand again, resting her head on my arm. She yawned, trying to give them a hint that she was tired. I could tell the she was faking, but my parents didn't know her as well as I did. She did do a rather good job at acting like she was though; and the red rims around her eyes from crying so much defiantly helped with the act.
"Uh well, you must be tired Clare; I'm pretty sure you would like to have some rest, so we'll see you both tomorrow morning." My dad said, looking at me. He winked, then took my mom into their bedroom, shutting the door behind them.
"Wow, you weren't joking." Clare said to me, glancing up. I chuckled, and started walking towards my room, Clare still holding onto my arm. I spun my lock until my door popped open and I turned on my light; tossing Clare's things on the ground next to my bed.
"So," I said sitting down. "What do you want to do?" She walked around my room, looking at everything before resting her eyes on me. She was quiet while she walked towards me, crawling on my bed.
"This." She said, pushing me down so my head lay on one of the many pillows on my bed. I watched as she moved on top of me, her head hovering over mine; our lips just inches apart. My breathing quickening as she pressed her angelic lips to mine, for what felt like forever. She pulled away with eyes still closed and smiled.
"Eli, I don't know where I would be without you." She whispered into my ear. I nodded as she fell to my side, wrapping her arms around me. I didn't realize how tired she actually was until after five minutes of silence went by, and I heard soft breathing. I kissed her forehead, and whispered back. "I feel the same Clare; you have no idea."
"Oh won't you run away, run away with me. Oh, to a safer place, I can set you free. But honestly I couldn't run away; my heart is here, and it's here to stay. I fall in love when I see your face and that won't change. So run away, run away with me. Oh to a perfect place, we will always be."

Okay, so what do you think?
I know you think it's probably awful or I don't know you could actually like it.
Either way, I hope you'll review(:
Please be nice if you do!
