This is my very first story, and I'm going to do my absolute best to make it amazing. Good or bad I'd love to hear what you guys think about the story! I love Degrassi but I don't own it at all. Sadly. :/ Anyways Let me know what you guys think!

Clare's POV

I never really understood what love was when I was was growing up. I had two parents who claimed to love eachother but they never hugged or kissed, in fact they didn't even sleep in the same room. It wasn't until I met Eli Goldsworthy that I knew what true unconditional love was. The kind of love that trumped even my faith. I gave Eli everything, and he did the same in return. Through my parents divorce, and my cancer Eli was always by my side. He stole my heart, and then he broke it. I knew when he moved to New York for school that things would change, I was never worried though. It wasn't as if we hadn't been through hell and back, what was distance? Then when the calls stopped, and the messages were read but the responses were few to none I knew what distance was. Distance was a bitch. Eli cheated on me with his roommate, and it hurt worse than any pain cancer had caused me. I knew cancer was evil, and I expected it to hurt me but I never expected that the one true great love of my life would. I forgave him for kissing someone else, but in truth it made everything so much harder. When he didn't speak to me I would freak out more than before, and I couldn't take it. So here I am at Miles Hollingsworth's party being the opposite of Clare Edwards and chugging a bottle of Fire Ball.

"Clare! You need to stop, what do you think this is going to solve? You're acting like a drunk and you're dressed like a common prostitute."

"Go to hell Drew, what I do isn't any of your business."

"Yes it is, I cant watch you act like this all because Eli isn't what you thought."

"Don't talk about him like you know him or anything we've been through Drew."

"I may not know every tiny detail of yall's "Epic love story" but I know you Clare and I know Eli must have done something bad for you to be acting like this, please just let me take you home."

As drew pleaded to take me home all I could do was miss Eli, I was acting out when what I should be doing is trying to fix things with him. I knew Drew loved me but he'd never be him, but right now he was here and Eli wasn't. "Ok Drew, take me home." As Drew started walking me out all the loud music started to fade and my legs started to shake. I grabbed on to his arm for support and then everything went black.

Drew's POV

Clare was so drunk, and I hated seeing her like that. I hated Eli for making her this way. I'd never do this to her, and I regretted not stealing her away when I had the chance. I was walking her out of the party when she passed out in the grass, I picked her up into my arms and i started carrying her to my truck when there he was, dressed in black head to toe.

"What the hell Drew, what the fuck are you doing with my girlfriend?"

I set Clare in the backseat of my truck and I prepared for a fight. "I'm doing what you've been unable to do, taking care of her."

"You call dragging her drunk out of a party taking care of her? I would have never let her get like this, you don't know the first thing about taking care of her. From now on leave that to me Drew."

"You've got to be kidding me, you're the entire reason Clare is like this Eli! You don't know the first thing about what your absence and infidelity has done to her! I've been the one watching out for her and protecting her, while you've been hovering over your roommate in New York."

"I never slept with anyone else, and I made it clear to Clare that it was a one time kiss that was all."

"I don't buy your bullshit Eli." I knew he meant it when he said that it was a one time thing and i knew he loved her, but so did I. I wasn't going to let her go without a fight. I had to let him know that she wasn't going to slip through my fingers that easy, not this time. "Eli I love her. I'm going to do everything in my power to win her over."

Eli's POV

Was he kidding? Drew Torres just came out of a party with my drunk girlfriend declaring his idiotic meat head love for her. To him I may be a film loving geek who got bullied by Fitz but when it came to Clare I was something so much greater than that. I was invincible with her, I was brave and strong. He had no idea what going against me for her would be like. Our love was one of those great loves, greater than any book ever written or story ever told. "Everything in your power wont be enough, and I'm sorry you think that you have a chance but that just shows how much you really know about us Drew. Clare and i always find our way back to each other, and we always will. You can fight for her all you want but no matter how hard you fight i will fight ten times harder."

"I guess we will see then Eli, may the best man win?"

Drew had his hand out for me to shake, and I wanted to take that moment to punch him in the face but I needed to get Clare. I walked passed him and I picked her up into my arms. Ignoring his protests I took her to my car, and I set her down in the passengers seat next to me. I started crying because I knew i was partly responsible for her being like this, I had failed her so much in the last year and I believed in us so much but Drew's words scared me, maybe i was delusional and I had ruined everything.

Clare's POV

I woke up In Eli's bed and the smell of his cologne hit me hard, I smiled. Then I realized that I was in Eli's room and not at the party anymore. Where was Drew? How did I get here? Eli walked in and sat at his desk without saying a word he started typing on his computer. "Eli what's going on, why aren't you in New York?"

"You'd much rather me be there wouldn't you Clare? Did I ruin your little adventure with Drew Last night, I can call him if you would like."

"Eli what are you talking about, you seriously haven't spoken to me in weeks and this is how you're going to treat me?" The tears began to flow and I was sobbing into his pillow. I felt his arms wrap around me and even though I was angry with him I began to relax and everything started to feel better.

"Baby I'm sorry, I was just upset to see Drew Holding you in his arms, to think that he was about to take you home makes me crazy.."

"Eli I don't know what you're talking about."

"Clare you were wasted last night, I came home to surprise you and when I pulled up to your house I was getting all these texts to check my snap chat and there you were chugging a bottle of fire ball. I sped to go get you and when I showed up Drew was putting you in his truck. He confessed his love for you to me, and he made it clear he was going to win you over this time."

"That's ridiculous Eli." I saw the hurt and his eyes and I wanted nothing more than to take it all away. "Eli Goldsworthy I can not believe that you even for a second think that Drew Torres stands a chance against you. I love you more than anyone has ever loved anyone in this entire world. I want you forever and always through the good and bad, and the ugly. When I'm about to die, and I roll over in my bed for the last time I want to look at your face before it's all over. Not Drew's, or anyone else's. After all we've been through I cant believe you don't know that. I should be the one wondering where we stand, you don't respond to me anymore and you found comfort with someone else other than me."

"Clare it was one kiss, one time and I know I haven't made the time for you I should have been making but I came here to tell you that I'm going to fix that. I love you. Only You."

I was crying again but my tears were happy ones. I stood up and i walked to the door, Eli followed.

"Where are we going?" He asked.

"Does it matter, boyfriend?" He stared at me with the most intense eyes and I felt my knees start to shake and my heart start to beat.

"Twist my rubber arm then, Girlfriend." I was completely his.
