Disclaimer:I do not own Degrassi because if I did then this fanfiction would have been a scene in the show.

A/n: This fanfiction was inspired by the event of Vegas Night in All Falls Down. Obviously by now we know that Eli and Clare didn't break up. I have decided to edit this whole thing. I remember when I was making this into a long fanfiction, but if everything works out it just going to be a four shot. I had this amazing idea for it, but it didn't work out how I thought it would. I am more into the one shots I have been writing lately. I hope you guys liked this mini story. Song used; Teenage Dream by Katy Perry.


Teenage Dream

"Eli you're not nine anymore." Clare stated desperately, her voice shaking a little.

"Well neither are the bullies, so what am I suppose to do?" Eli looked at her making sure he caught eye contact. Clare's eyes were still glossed over from the tears, but a faint hint of relief was also evident in her baby blues as well. At Eli's question though the emotion in them became harden as if the thought of Eli not getting what had just taken place, and how critical it was for him to consider the full consciences before acting impulsively was of main importance. Because Fitz could have stabbed him instead of the wall, and he was lucky Fitz had not.

"I don't have the answer but if it's this then I can't be with you anymore." Clare replied coldly but she suddenly felt tears pricking at her eyes. She knew she could never leave Eli, but she just wanted him to get how she felt when Fitz had come after him with that knife.

Eli frowned as he thought back to what Clare had warned. She couldn't be with him if he acted that way? That was who he was though. If a bully threatened something he cared for or threatened him he wasn't going to stand around, and let said bully get away with it. Had he really taken it too far this time? Eli's only thoughts when Fitz had backed him in the corner threatening him with that knife were to make sure Clare was out of the way. He had been trying to protect her! By standing in the way, and by apologizing to Ftiz he had been trying to make it right. When it all came down to it right before Ftiz had gone to stabbed him he had a sudden urge to beg for his life. He did not want it to end that way. Not there and especially not in front of Clare. Especially not in front of her the girl he loved.

Wait- loved? Did Eli love Clare? He looked over at her as she quietly shuffled beside him, not speaking, but looking deep in thought. Yes there was no doubt in his mind how much he loved Clare.

Eli chuckled mentally as the realization hit. He continued to watch her silently, but averted his gaze to their surroundings. They were a few blocks from Clare's house. Eli had insisted on walking her home, well he would have drove her, but Morty had decided to break down on him. Damn, it really wasn't his night was it.

"Eli what were you thinking when Fitz went to stab you?" Clare asked quietly turning her gaze to his. Her eyes held a soft curious expression.

"I'm not all too sure. Many things were going through my head. Mostly I was thinking about you. I wanted you to get away from there. I didn't want you to see him stab me, and mostly I was thinking that I needed to protect you. I had no clue if Owen or one of Fitz's gang was going to pop out, and make a break for you." Eli replied honestly not even having to think about it.

You think I'm pretty, Without any make-up on

You think I'm funny, When I tell the punch line wrong

I know you get me, So I let my walls come down

Down.

Before you met me, I was alright

But things were kinda heavy, You brought me to life

Now every February, You'll be my Valentine,

Valentine.

Let's go all the way tonight, No regrets, just love

We can dance until we die, You and I

We'll be young forever!

You make me, Feel like

I'm living a Teenage Dream, The way you turn me on

I can't sleep, Let's run away

And don't ever look back, Don't ever look back.

"You were honestly thinking about protecting me," Clare let out a sadistic laugh as her gaze harden, "What about yourself Eli!" Clare was practically yelling at him as fresh tears started streaming down her soft pale cheeks.

"Why didn't you run when I told you to? Do you really think that sacrificing yourself would have helped the situation," Clare pushed all that aside her voice suddenly growing soft, "Did you not consider what was going through my mind when I thought Fitz had stabbed you?"

Eli was taken aback by her question. He hadn't consider her thoughts, only his own.

"No you obviously didn't. Eli I was sitting there watching Fitz come closer, and closer to you with that knife! When I thought he had stabbed you I felt my heart fall out of my chest and shatter! Just the very thought of you being stabbed or- or killed it- it" Clare couldn't even finish the thought as a violent sob tore out of her.

Eli was suddenly filled with flaming guilt that was so strong it caught him of guard. He really had taken it all too far. Eli never once thought about what he was putting Clare through with all of this. His eyes suddenly softened, and he took a step forward. As Clare let out another soft sob Eli swept her up into his arms, and buried her head underneath his chin.

My heart stops, When you look at me

Just one touch, Now baby I believe

This is real, So take a chance

And don't ever look back, Don't ever look back.

"I'm so sorry, Clare." As Eli uttered those words Clare pulled her head away, and turned it up looking straight into his eyes. When she caught sight of the unfamiliar emotion plaguing his green eyes her heart stopped, and her breath became caught in her throat. Clare wasn't sure if she was breathing or not, but she couldn't take her eyes away from his. Eli gingerly slid a hand on to her cheek wiping the tears away with his thumb, and began leaning forward slowly. Unsure of how Clare would react he stopped right before his lips met hers.

"Just kiss me Eli," she breathed. That was all Eli needed to hear for him to place his lips on Clare's feverishly. They both melted into the burning passion of the kiss letting it engulf thier bodies, and minds. All of the events that had been through enter locked with that kiss, and each of them now had cold, clear tears streaming down their face.

We drove to Cali, And got drunk on the beach

Got a motel and, Built a fort out of sheets

I finally found you, My missing puzzle piece

I'm complete.

Let's go all the way tonight, No regrets, just love

We can dance until we die, You and I

We'll be young forever.

You make me, Feel like

I'm living a Teenage Dream, The way you turn me on

I can't sleep, Let's run away

And don't ever look back, Don't ever look back.

My heart stops, When you look at me

Just one touch, Now baby I believe

This is real, So take a chance

And don't ever look back, Don't ever look back .

Eli could hear the loud thump, thump of his heart pounding in his ears. It had picked up twice its usual pace as they deepened the kiss.

I might get your heart racing, In my skin-tights jeans

Be your Teenage Dream tonight, Let you put your hands on me

In my skin-tight jeans, Be your Teenage Dream tonight.

He suddenly realized how serious things were getting once he faintly noticed their hands were roaming each other's bodies in ways he never thought Clare would do. Eli pulled away looking down a Clare quizzically.

"Clare-" Eli began but was caught off by Clare herself.

"Eli don't worry," she stopped for a second as if thinking before continuing, " I- I want to." Clare smiled sure of herself.

"Really, Blue Eyes? You want to in the middle of a sidewalk half way to your house?" Eli smirked, his sarcasm finally bubbling to the surface.

Clare blushed furiously realizing where they were. "Okay maybe not here. Let's go to your house?"

Eli scoffed, "Saint Clare is going to go to a boy's house without telling her Mommy or Daddy where she is going!"

Clare rolled her eyes which caused Eli to smirk ever more than before.

She suddenly grabbed his hands, and looked into his eyes. "Come on Goldsworthy, before I change my mind." With that she giggled and started running pulling Eli along with her.

You make me, Feel like

I'm livin' a Teenage Dream, The way you turn me on

I can't sleep, Let's run away

And don't ever look back, Don't ever look back

No.

My heart stops, When you look at me

Just one touch, Now baby I believe

This is real, So take a chance

And don't ever look back, Don't ever look back.

I might get your heart racing, In my skin tights jeans

Be your Teenage Dream tonight, Let you put your hands on me

In my skin-tight jeans, Be your Teenage Dream tonight.


A/n: To be honest I think it turned out way better after I edited it. Well it's pretty much the same, but the whole song is in it now! Review please.
