Adam decided to go find his friends. He was bored and wanted to know why his friends were gone for so long when he heard someone screaming Clare's name over and over again. Adam's stomach dropped as he rounded the corner to find Eli holding Clare's bleeding body, Eli bawling his eyes out.
Adam quickly called 9-1-1. "Someone's been hurt at Degrassi. Hurry, please!"
Adam hung up and went to his friend. "Eli?" Adam asked cautiously.
He looked into Adam's eyes. "Adam, what do I do?"
"Eli, I called for an ambulance, they'll be here soon. Now tell me what happened…"
"I…I was l-looking for C-Clare when I saw F-Fitz…" Eli sniffled and went on stronger. "He had a knife and said he wouldn't use on my but he had already used it. He ran off and I turned the corner to find Clare…like this…She's bleeding so bad…she was talking for a minute…she told me she loved me and then she passed out…..she never got to hear me say it back…I can't lose her like this Adam…I just can't…" He began to sob uncontrollably again.
Adam hugged his friend. "She'll be fine Eli. Our Clare's a fighter." Adam saw the lights of the ambulance in a window and ran to bring them to Clare.
Adam had to make Eli let go of her. "Eli, they are going to help her. Let's go to the hospital and wait for her, okay?" Eli just shook his head yes and they walked to Morty. The car was silent except the occasional sob coming out of Eli. Adam could do nothing to help his friend.
When they arrived Adam had gone to see if he could find out Clare's status. "The doctor will be out soon." Was all he got as an answer.
After another hour, felt like 10 years, the doctor came towards them. "Are you here for Ms. Clare Edwards?" She asked us.
"Yes!" Adam replied.
"Are her parents around?" Adam remembered what Clare had said about her parents going on a retreat for troubled couples and they were unreachable until Sunday. He relayed this to the doctor.
"Okay, well, a vital vein was punctured and had to have an infusion…but we don't have enough O type blood due to lack in donors. If you know anyone…"
Eli finally talked for the first time since his little scene when holding Clare. "I have type O blood! I'll donate it to her! I'd die for her!"
The doctor's look softened at the sight of the eager boy. "Okay, let's go."
