I do not own degrassi

Ch.3 Bianca's Confession

Clare sat in Drew's lap, stroking her fingers through his hair. Drew was too shocked by her behavior to do anything but then Eli and Adam burst in the room. They stood shocked mouths agape at the sight of a shirtless Clare sitting in Drew's lap. Drew jumped up getting Clare off his lap.

"Eli I didn't…we didn't…I mean she crawled into my lap and just sat down and…"

"Drew relax we're not dating anymore I don't exactly have say in who's lap she crawls into anymore. Besides I know something's up with her and she's not exactly in her right mind right now." Eli assured him.

Drew let out a relived breath and then gave Eli a sideways look, "Wait are you saying if she was in her right mind she wouldn't crawl into my lap?"

"Drew not now." Adam warned him, as he closed the door.

"Right sorry."

"Clare what happened to your top?" Eli asked but Clare only shrugged.

"She told me she got hot and took it off somewhere; she has no idea where it ended up." Drew told them.

Eli took off his black button up, he had a short sleeve black shirt on underneath it, and handed it to Clare. "Put this on."

"Why?" Clare asked, she had sprawled herself on the futon couch now.

"Because I am not letting you go out there in just your bra." Eli informed her.

"Uh uh uh," she wagged her finger at him, "You're not my boyfriend any more, you don't get to be jealous of other people seeing my bra anymore."

"The fact that we're not dating doesn't mean I can't get jealous, I am not letting you of this room half naked Clare! This party is full of a bunch of horny teenage boys that will take advantage of someone like you, especially if you go out there with no shirt!" Eli said clenching his fists.

"Someone like me! You mean naïve? Or innocent? Or st. Clare? Well maybe I don't want to be any of those things anymore! Maybe I want to be taken advantage of! You ever think of that Eeeeelijah?" Clare spit back, venom in every word.

Eli was bright red and Adam could tell his friend was about to blow so he grabbed the shirt from Eli's hand and handed it to Clare. "Clare if you put the shirt on I'll take you back to the dance floor and you can dance all night if you want." Adam said.

Clare smiled again and took Eli's shirt, she put it on and Adam helped her button it and tie it at the bottom and roll up the sleeves. "Okay Adam let's go dance."

Bianca had come back to the party and was searching all the rooms but she couldn't find anyone she was looking for. She spotted Owen near the chips and went over to him.

"Hey have you seen Clare?" She asked.

Owen smiled, "Yeah I almost took her upstairs until Drew stopped me." Bianca smacked him hard upside the head. "OWWW B what was that for?"

"Why were you taking her upstairs?" Bianca demanded.

"She was shirtless and hot and said she wanted to go upstairs," He shrugged he did all the time with other girls.

Bianca slapped him upside the head again. "Fitz put x in her drink she's not thinking straight. You honestly think if she was acting like herself she would have willingly gone upstairs with you?!"

"No I guess not, wait Fitz really drugged her? Why? He's never stooped so low before." Owen said.

"Because the idiot has it bad for Clare and is too stupid just talk to her. Have you seen Eli or that chick you tried to hook up with in the boiler room on Vegas night?" Bianca asked.

"Alli? No not since she first got here. But Eli and Adam went in there." Owen said pointing to a door.

Bianca nodded and started walking to the door, Owen followed.

Clare was clasping Adam's hand and the 4 of them were about to go back out to the party when the door opened and Bianca and Owen came in.

"Bianca!" Clare squealed, letting go of Adam's hand she ran to Bianca and hugged her tightly, Bianca hugged her back and Owen closed the door.

"Since when are you two such good friends?" Drew asked.

"Since now." Bianca quipped. "You guys might wanna sit down I have something to tell you."

Adam, Eli and Drew exchanged a look but sat on the futon. Owen sat in the office chair at the desk and Bianca leaned on it. Clare meanwhile was dancing to the music coming from the other room, it was quite distracting for the guys. Bianca grabbed Clare by the shoulders, and looked her straight in the eye. "Clare sweetie I need to speak with the guys for a few minutes can you sit down while we talk and then I'll take you back out to the party okay?" Clare nodded and looked around, she started heading for Owen's lap, Bianca grabbed her by Eli's shirt. "Not there." She walked Clare over to Eli and sat her on his lap. Eli put his arms around her waist to hold her there and Bianca went back to leaning on the desk.

"What's going on B?" Drew asked.

"I know why Clare is acting so…not herself." Bianca informed them.

The three of them looked at her intently, "WHY!?" They said in unison.

"Fitz put ecstasy in her drink." Bianca admitted.

All three boys tensed up. "I'm going to kill him." Eli seethed through clenched teeth.

"I all ready sent him away and you have my full permission to kill him tomorrow. What he did was stupid. Right now we need to keep an eye on Clare, the drug makes her emotions heightened, she feels really good and has no inhibitions." Bianca told them.

"Wait a minute Owen did you know?" Drew asked hopping up, "when you were going to take her upstairs slung over your shoulder did you know?"

Eli and Adam looked at him with fire in their eyes. "No I swear I didn't know Fitz had done that. I honestly thought she was just opening up and having fun. Even I'm not that big of an ass." Owen defended himself.

The boys faces relaxed again. "Okay there are 5 of us can we all watch Clare and enjoy the party?" Eli asked.

"Yeah I'm in, we can take shifts, I feel kind of bad for trying to take her upstairs." Owen nodded.

Bianca, Drew and Adam nodded as well, Clare began to fidget on Eli's lap. "You guys are crazy I feel Awesome! Fitzy didn't put anything in my drink." Clare giggled "Fitzy Fitzy his name is funny. Where is Fitzy anyway? He's so cute."

Eli's face grew angry again. Bianca saw this and took Clare's hand pulling her off Eli's lap. "Come on peachy let's go dance."

Clare smiled and followed Bianca out to the party. Drew and Owen followed but Eli sat there his face flush with anger at Clare's last comment. Adam put a hand on his friends arm. "Eli she's high, she has no idea what she's saying." Eli nodded and relaxed a little and they went back out to the party. Owen and Drew were talking near the chips, and Clare and Bianca were surrounded by a group of male eyes. They were watching the two girls dance, grind against each other. If the girls had less clothes on it would have been a girly bar show.

Alli and Dave finally emerged from the back and Alli was looking around for Clare. "Eli have you seen Clare?" She asked him. Eli nodded to the dance floor. Dave and Alli almost popped their eyes right out of their heads. "What the hell is she doing dancing with Bianca?"

"Fitz put ecstasy in her drink, she's high." Eli told her.

"Fitz did what! That little prick, I'll kill him." Alli said angrily. "She's staying at my house and I need to leave now but I can't bring her home like that, my parents would blow a gasket."

"Don't worry I'll make sure she's safe. Tell your Mom, she wasn't feeling well and Jake picked her up." Eli assured her.

Alli trusted Eli implicitly with Clare's safety, she knew he'd go above and beyond to keep her from harm. "Thanks Eli. I'll call you in the morning." Alli hugged Eli and Dave walked her home.

"Adam take over for Bianca I need to talk to her for a second." Eli requested of his friend.

Adam's eyes got wide, "You…want…me…to dance with Clare? Like that?"

"No I don't want anyone dancing with her like that, but you're the only one that I trust." Eli said.

Adam nodded and went over and tapped Bianca on the shoulder. He told her Eli wanted to talk to her and he'd watch Clare. Bianca left the dance floor and went over to Eli. "What's up?"

Eli waved Drew and Owen over. "How long is she going to be like this?" Eli asked when they were all there.

Bianca shrugged, "I can't be sure how much he gave her could be another hour, could be 6. But then she'll come down and she'll get very tired."

"Okay my parents are out of town I'm gonna take her to my house to sleep tonight, but I've never dealt with this before, can the rest of you spend the night?" Eli asked.

"I'm in." Said Bianca.

"Me too." Owen said.

"I'll call our Mom she should be fine with it, as long as I don't mention the girls are gonna be there." Drew said. He took out his cell phone and walked outside, a few minutes later he returned. "Mom said it's fine Adam and I are in."

Meanwhile on the dance floor a fight broke out, 2 guys started shoving at each other and Clare and Adam were knocked over. Adam tried to grab for Clare but couldn't find her. Eli was talking to the others and they didn't see. "ELI! DREW!" Adam yelled to get their attention.

Hmmm now where did Clare go?
