AN: I am not sure if I will be able to update very often but I wanted to try it out. During the summer I'll write more, but due to classes and work I have little to no time. I hope you enjoy and this might turn into an actual story. Also I don't think this will follow the show at all I just adore Eli and Clare's characteristic. Somethings will be the same to an extent and I might bring other Degrassi characters in eventually. I obviously don't own Degrassi. But wouldn't it be nice to be on it...Numnum Eli!
Summary: "She had to forget the image of her boyfriend in ecstasy, her friend in shock. She wanted to forget the sound of her mother sobbing on the other side of her phone as." After a car accident Clare finds a certain green eyed savior waiting for her to wake up.
The rain was pouring down over the road, the lights glaring off of the standing water. To begin with it was hard to see it didn't make matters worse that she was crying. Yet no matter what she did the tears wouldn't leave her alone. Her life was falling apart and she had no way of stopping it. First she lost her job, then her parents call with news of thier planned divorce only for her to get home to find her boyfriend in bed with her best friend. Needless to say everything was getting the new first name of ex. Ex-job, ex-boyfriend, ex-best friend, and ex-happily married parents. Life sucked. Ironically all the radio seemed to be able to play was sappy songs of other peoples shitty lives.
Sadly she wasn't even sure where she was going. All she new was that she had to get away. She had to forget the image of her boyfriend in ecstasy, her friend in shock. She wanted to forget the sound of them both calling her name falling to the floor in a hurry to chase after her. She wanted to forget the sound of her mother sobbing on the other side of her phone as the sound of a door slamming in the back ground made her world come crashing down. She especally wanted to forget about the apologies given to her as she cleared out her desk. To put it to terms she wanted to forget about the whole day.
Another sad song came on and as it did her foot hit the gas pedal harder. Her car jerking her back in her seat. The tears mixed with the speed, mixed with the blaring music, mixed with all the pain and confusion. Wither she was hoping for it or knew it would happen it did. The sound of tires screaching on the wet asphalt as she realized she was in the oposite lane and a car was in front of her. Paniced she jerked her steering wheel and went spinning out of control. No longer on the other side of her road but off the road completely her breaks decided to stop working. Two things registered in her mind at that minute, one the irony of her breaks giving out on this particular day. Two that she was heading towards a tree without anyway of stopping.
Life was going great, he was finally happy with the love of his life. {sorry couldn't help it} Julia was everything he could ever need and dispite their issues they were finally making it work. He even had the ring in his pocket and a smile on his face to prove it. Inspite the weather he wasn't about to let that stop him from having an amazing night. Or following through with his plans for the night. His phone began to vibrate in his pocket, proving he wasn't the only one who was thinking of his significant other. He pulls it out to see Julia's name flashing at him and his smile widens. Just as he was about to flip it open it slipped out of his hand and skidded to the passenger side floor. "Ahh" He grunted reaching for it as it continued to vibrate. With one hand on the steering wheel he kept the car fairly straight. Just as he was about to reach the phone he heard tires screech on pavement.
"What the hell?" He yelled, jumping back up into his seat. Headlights blinded him momentarly before swirving out of the way. He hit the breaks too fast that he too began to hydroplane. His car did a complete 360 before finally stopping. He looked up to see the other car was wrapped around a tree and the tail lights were flickering. His headlights casted an eerie spot light on the scene as the rain splashed relentlessly against the concrete. Taking a deep breath and reached for his phone which began a new cycle of vibrations.
"Hey babe I have to call you back a car just crashed on the side of the road." He said then quickly hung up to call 911. He jumped out of the car and ran over to the now bent frame of what use to be a car. "There was a car that just crashed into a tree...Yes... I don't know I haven't got to it yet... My name is Elijah Goldsworthy... I'm on route 39 off the North exit {totally made up}. Okay thank you." He hung up the phone and kneeled by the drivers side of the car.
"Are you okay?" He asked, looking in to see a women laying over to the side. "Hey... Hey are you alright?" He shouted, trying to get the door open. "Augh." came a muffled grunt from the lady inside. At a closer range he could see that she had short ginger colored hair and blood covering her face. "Can you hear me?"
"Damn." She whispered in pain. For some reason this maked him smirk. At this point he was soaking wet.
"Okay don't move, I called for help." He told her. He gasped at her blue orbs that peaked out of the blood at him. "It's going to be okay." He whispered, reaching through her broken window to push her hair out of her face. Just as he said that the distant sound of sirens rang to them.
"Fuck this life." She whispered, pain lacing her voice. This caused him to stich his eyes together in confusion. He understood she had just got in a accident but did that really require such a statement? Who was this girl?
The pain was beyond anything she could imagine. "Fuck this life." She stated simply deciding not to talk anymore cause the pain in her chest was beyond belief. The man beside her was shadowed by the headlights from another car and his hair was stuck to his face. Rain was splashing down through the window that was now shattered. ~Fuck~ she thought ~I just bought this car.~ She mentally rolls her eyes as she begins to realize her condition. An iron taste filled her mouth as the rain ran down her face. Loud sirens echoed in her ears causing her head to pound.
"Over here!" the man yelled in his deep almost soothing voice. suddenly he was gone and bright lights were in her eyes causing her to squeeze them shut. "Is she okay?" The guy asked.
"We need you to step back sir." One of the medics replied, his voice echoing like thunder in her mind. "Ma'am can you hear me?" He practically yelled.
"Augh!" She replied, as another shot of sheer pain rocked through her skull.
"Can you tell me your name?" He asked another question in the same loud voice.
"Clare...Clare Edwards...Could you stop yelling?" She replied in a harsh quiet voice barely audible over the rain that was still crashing down around them.
"Okay let's get you out of here Clare." He whispered to her enjoyment...If she could even say enjoyment was possible with all the pain every where.
Pain suddenly became all she could see, feel or understand as they ripped the door off the car with metal scraping against metal. All she could see was black pain and a surprisingly gentle touch on her wrist as she was lifted out of the car. "Sir you need to get out of the way."
"No I'm going with you all, just let me move my car out of the middle of the road." The voice was harsh and for some reason it soothed Clare even through all the pain.
"Okay but hurry she's lossing alot of blood." ~Blood?~ Confusion took over her again alot parellel to the relization that her accident had been worse then she thought.
"Okay we're good to go." shouted the soothing voice. With what little strength she had left she moved her head to the side and squinted her eyes too look for the man who had saved her. The lights shocked her eyes making her almost want to shut them again, but she was determined to see her savior. ~Green!~ The color of his eyes were so sharp that it startled her. ~Green.~ That was the last thought she had, the last thing she saw before all else went black.
