An Eclare one shot that's based off of a later episode where Eli keeps giving Clare mixed signals. All Degrassi and Eclare copyrights belong to their respectable owners. This is just for fun. Hope you like it =]
Eli's POV
"I just don't get it." Clare grabs my arm. "Why can't you just tell me?"
"Tell you what?" I snap back. Her jaw drops a slight bit, her pleading blue eyes focus in on mine. God, she makes my heart pound.
"Please, I just need to know." She looks away, down at the floor. "Look, I don't care what might've happened before you came here. Maybe this time, you're the one who's scared."
"Me? Afraid of what?" This makes her head pop back up and she looks at me. Another chance to look into the swimming pools of possibilities that are her eyes that make me feel like I'm drowning.
"You're afraid to let love in. And so am I. So why don't we just let it in together?"
"I'm not afraid." I tell her. I can feel the room getting smaller. Crowds of people become closer and closer.
"Then prove it." And I did. I gently lift her chin; take a step closer as our lips collide. She takes a stretch up on her toes. I can feel her heart beat against my own, practically in unison. Faster and faster, my heart smashes against my ribs, I think it'll explode. Seconds later, we pull apart gasping for air. I can see a smile tug on her pink lips.
"That's my line." I say as she lets out a slight laugh. I go into kiss her again and suddenly it's like all the walls broke down. Clare Edwards, you finally broke me.
