When I Need You Most

It was the next day at Degrassi. Bianca kept freaking Alli out by smiling at her every time she saw her.

"Why is she doing that?" Alli asked her best friend, Clare.

"She's planning against you?"

"Clare, she's not that mean!"

"Yeah right, I'm just trying to look out for you." Clare said smiling as she walked closer to her and hugged her.

Bianca saw this and was not happy. Why did Clare get to hug her friend? She's was Bianca's just like Drew was hers. But he was Alli's first. She stole him from her first and only friend. Was that what a friend would do?

Jenna did it. To Clare...

Maybe she should be friends with Jenna now. But first, getting rid of Clare. How could she do that?

"So, how's Dave doing?"

"Clare! What if someone hears you?"

"No one will!" Bianca smirked just what she needed.

She found Dave quickly and wrote in her best 'Clare Handwriting'

"Come meet me at the Dot! I'll be waiting!"

Bianca smirked, now all she had to do was to get Alli to come with her.

"Alli!" Alli turned around and smiled at Bianca.

"Hey, Bee."

"BEE?" Clare exclaimed angrily.

"It's just a nick name Clare-Bear."

"CLARE-BEAR?" Bianca yelled.

"Um, yeah?"

"Ok… just making sure. Sooo, Clare-Bear, can you leave?" She teased at the nickname and smirked. Clare frowned.

"So, Alli for lunch, wanna meet at the dot?"

"Sure, sounds fun."

"Ok, cool. See you in 3 minutes!"

"3 min-?" The bell rang signaling that it was lunch.

"Ok, more like 3 seconds." Bianca chirped idly.

They walked to the Dot hand-in-hand when Bianca saw Clare she smirked. She hoped Dave saw that note.

When they finally reached the Dot, there was Dave.

"Hey Clare!" Clare looked at him, wondering why he was calling her out.

"Hi Dave?"

"So, ready for our date?"

Alli heard this and turned on Clare.

"Date?"

She was shaking.

"Alli, it's not what you think!"

"Whatever, Clare!" Alli walked out the door.

"Really blew it this time, Clare-Bear." Bianca said smiling as she ran after Alli.

Drew's POV

Seeing Alli stand up for Bianca made me realize how much I missed her stand off-ishness. How she stood up for what she believed in.

'You know what, Drew? I'm glad you're my enemy. Because you give me a reason to fight for what I believe in. But you would've been much more important to me as a friend.'

I remembered her words and I shuddered to myself.

Why did she still hate me?

"Thinking about Alli, Drew?" Adam was standing at my doorway smiling to himself.

"Get out of my room, Adam."

"Why? I wanna know what's going through your head." For once he sounded genuine so I told him how I felt about Bianca and then how I felt about Alli.

"Sounds like a love triangle."

"What?"

"You love Alli but you don't wanna hurt Bianca."

I didn't notice it then. But his words were the most truthful thing I would hear for a while.
