I do not own Degrassi or any of the characters D:.

Eli parked Morty, then jumped out and tossed me his bag and ran towards Adam who was about to get kicked in the face. I look at Adam he was wearing a t-shirt with a vest with some baggy pants with a yellow belt I look at his face and his eye was swollen. He had girlish features like his eyes, smile and his voice was soft as mine. I come back to reality when I see Eli punch Fitz in his face causing him to fall down. I run over to the fight pushing the crowd that was forming. I saw Adam get up and move over to Eli. Adam and I pull Eli from the fight and Fitz friends pull him from the fight.

"This isn't over Eli!" shouted Fitz

"Trust me it's far from over" said Eli

The crowd starts to walk away I look over at Adam to see his eye look worse than when I first saw it,

"Are you going to be ok Adam?" He looks at me and said "yeah I'll be fine, are you ok Eli?"

I hadn't notice, but Eli was really quiet. I turned around and he was staring at me. I searched his eyes and they held so many emotions: hate, anger, sadness, and rage. I don't know what came over me but I went and I hugged him.

"Eli, you don't have to do this you don't have to fight back, you can just walk away" I said to him

He wraps his arms around my waist and hugged me back and said "Clare I can't just walk away and stop, if I do then he think that he can just beat on us whenever he wants."

I pull back and look him in his eyes they soften and looked calm.

"Clare what if he goes after you next then what? I couldn't live with myself, so that's why I'm going to fight him so he know not to mess with my friends"

'A friend that's all I am to him'

I sigh and drop my arms and turn to leave, but I can't because his arms are still wrapped around me. He pulls me back and I stumble backwards into his chest. He lean forward into my ear and whisper "I care about you and I would never do anything to hurt you, ok" I look up into his eyes and smile and said "ok"

"Um, guys I don't want to ruin your moment but we should head in before Simpson come and get us" said Adam

I kind of forgot he was there. We head in side and go our separate I was deep into my thought about Eli and how he held and said that he cared about me that I didn't notice K.C calling my name until I walked into him losing my balance. I almost fell but he someone behind me caught me. I turn and I see Eli. I turn back around to see K.C staring at me. "Yes K.C?" I ask him

"I was wondering if we could talk"

"Us talk, about what? You want to talk about how you left me for Jenna?" I ask without letting him answer I walk away refusing to let him see me cry. I will never let him know how he hurt me.

So how was this chapter? I'm working on the third chapter Review please!
