If you voted in the poll on the website last week you can vote one more time this week (or 7 days after your first vote) so get those votes in because the poll will come down in a week. I took off the option for not wanting either since there is enough of an interest that one of the stories will be written. Based on which one wins you guys will be voting on further aspects of the story. If supernatural wins then you guys will vote on what you'd like all the main characters to be. If superheroes wins you will vote on which super powers the main characters have. You may even vote on which end game couples you would most like. In other words you guys will have a lot of input for this story.

Also check my profile page between last Sunday and Wednesday I had quite a bit of time to plot. Several one shots, one short story and 2 long stories have been added to the upcoming stories list on my profile page.
Ch. 7 Some Days Last Longer than Others
(DREW)
"Hey Adam called my phone he says you need to get home right away but wouldn't tell me what's going on," Owen tells me when I get out of the shower after football practice.
"Let me guess Clare's in trouble," I respond somewhat sardonically.
"He didn't say anything about Clare but I heard a girl crying, I'm pretty sure it was B," Owen tells me and now I feel a little sick and very worried. "K.C. already left to check on Jenna but I'm going with you," Owen says.
I just nod and get dressed quickly, Bianca took my sibs home so I have the car and Owen has his own. He follows me to my house, I barely get the car in park and I hop out, running into the door and straight into my sister. I think she was pacing in front of the door on her phone, I run into her and she drops her phone, she would have fallen too but I catch her. Bianca is huddled on the sofa and crying, her knees pulled up to her chest and her arms around them. Adam is holding her as she sobs so hard she doesn't even notice I'm here. I'm not about to drop my sister so I hand her to Owen, he takes her and I run over to Bianca. I put my arm around her and she turns to me crying in my arms. It's only now that I realize her shirt is ripped, I hold her tighter and look at my brother.
"What the hell happened?"
"She went home to get some of her stuff and some asshole was there, he tried to rape her. When she came back and Fitz found out he took off for Bianca's aunt's, he's not answering his phone," Clare informs us in an agitated tone. "You guys take care of Bianca I'm going to find Fitz," Clare tells me grabbing her purse and car keys. I don't want Clare to go alone but I'm not leaving Bianca so I look at Owen and he nods.
"I got her," Owen says running after Clare.
"Bianca tell me what happened, who did this?" I request.
"I don't know I've never seen him before, some ass that my auntie brought home. He was watching TV when I got there, I packed quickly but he came to my room. I kicked him and tried to get away but he grabbed me. I'll die before I let anyone rape me again and when he ripped my shirt, I kicked him repeatedly in the nuts until he fell over and I could get away. I jumped in my car and ran back here," Bianca says clinging to me.
"He won't touch you again, you live here now no one will ever touch you like that again," I assure her.
"I love you," Bianca grins and gives me a gentle kiss, "I'll kill someone before they do that to me again."
I just kiss her and hold her but the urge to go kill this guy is growing and I want to go over there. I start tensing up and growling unintentionally as I think about someone hurting Bianca. It's not until Bianca takes my face and kisses me that I start to relax and then Adam's phone rings.
"Clare what's up did you find Fitz?" Adam says into the phone and I know by the face my brother makes it's not good. "She's calmed down now…yeah I'll tell them…I'll call Spin…okay stay with Owen," he tells her and hangs up.
"What's up?" I question.
"Fitz beat the guy pretty bad and he's been arrested, Clare and Owen are going to tell Sean. I'm going to call Spin and Paige," Adam says walking back to his room.
"We have to go down there, Fitz beat him up because of me, he's going to get sent back to reform school," Bianca says trying to get up and I stop her.
"If Fitz hadn't I would have, you do need to make a statement though. You should change they'll want the shirt for evidence," I tell her kissing her forehead.
"Come with me? I know I'm safe here but I don't want to be alone," Bianca says.
I smile and get up to go with her, I hear Adam in his room on the phone. Bianca changes into a shirt she already had here and I put her torn shirt in a plastic bag. We tell Adam we're going to the police station so Bianca can make a statement and he wants to come. We get in my car and I drive us to the police station, the one I'm fairly certain they took Fitz to. When we get inside I see my five foot two sprite of a sister yelling at a 250 pound six foot cop. Not just yelling but Owen and Jay are holding her back so she doesn't assault him.
"We might need to arrange another bail tonight," Adam says under his breath as we watch Clare.
"…HE HAD EVERY RIGHT TO DO WHAT HE DID THAT GROSS PEDOPHILE TRIED TO RAPE OUR FRIEND ARREST HIM! FITZ DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG NOW RELEASE HIM YOU…"
"Clare!" I snap before she verbally assaults the cop and they have a reason to arrest her.
"She's already called every cop in here everything under the sun, they haven't arrested her yet, I think they find it funny," Jay tells me letting go of Clare so Owen puts his arm around her waist to keep her from attacking the cop. She has calmed a bit though, she's not yelling anymore just looking at Bianca.
"Where's Sean?" Adam questions.
"With Lucas arranging bail and trying to get Fitz released to his custody," Jay tells us and looks at Bianca, "Are you okay?"
"Not exactly okay but getting there," Bianca says.
"Just release Fitz what he did was to protect Bianca that prick got what he deserved for trying to hurt Bianca. I bet if he had succeeded in raping her you wouldn't have arrested him," Clare spits at the officer.
"We will release Mr. Fitzgerald to the custody of a family member and with a judge's order young lady," the officer says and we all cringe. Calling Clare young lady is like calling Fitz by his first name.
"Clare you should go home," Adam says before she starts lecturing the cop not to call her young lady.
"Owen can you make sure she gets home safe?" Adam requests before Clare can say anything. She does make a frustrated scream in the back of her throat and storm out however.
"I got her," Owen assures us running after her.
"I need to make a statement," Bianca tells the cop at the desk, "Fitz is in jail because a man attacked me."
I give the cop the bag with her shirt and he looks at it then places a call and a female officer comes out.
"I'm Detective Constable Markham I'll take your statement do you have a lawyer or adult you want present?"
"No," Bianca shakes her head and then looks at me, "I want my boyfriend back with me though, for moral support he already knows everything."
She nods and I tell Adam and Jay we'll be out in a bit. Bianca gives her statement at the detective's desk I sit next to her holding her hand. Hearing her repeat it I want to kill the guy again. The detective doesn't ask any questions just records it all and then has Bianca write it out. She does tell Bianca that she'll be in touch and may have more questions.
"Fitz is being charged with assault and battery," Jay says when we come out of the back, "he broke the guys hand and nose, knocked out three of his teeth and gave him a black eye. Sean managed to get bail so Fitz is being released to his custody."
"Good we'll do what we can to keep him out of the reform school. Let's go home Jay tell Sean and them to come to our house, we'll get everyone there that wants to be there," I command. Jay gets out his phone and sends a text to Sean, Jay rides with us since he came in Sean's car. When we get back to the house I don't see Owen's car but Paige is here, so are Emma and Johnny. "Where do you suppose Owen and Clare are?" I question as we get out of the car.
"Maybe he dropped her off and went home," Jay suggests.
"No," Adam shakes his head and I give him a look, "she was angry she's burning off some steam."
"What's that mean?" I ask while he opens the front door.
"I only know that she was angry," Adam replies as we step into the house.
"Bianca Sweetie are you okay?" Emma asks hugging her tightly.
"I'm getting there," Bianca replies.
"Sean and Fitz will be here soon," Emma tells us.
"Jenna and K.C. send their love but they needed to be alone, they have some things to discuss. I'm going to start some dinner," Paige comments walking to the kitchen.
"I called Dad and told him what happened, he's not expecting you in school tomorrow," Emma says sort of to all of us but I'm assuming she's talking to Bianca.
Emma walks to the kitchen to help Paige, Adam sits on the sofa with Johnny and Jay and Bianca pulls my hand. We go back to my room and she closes the bedroom door cupping my face and abducting my lips in a passionate and grateful kiss.
"I'm happy with you, you make me happy and strong and I feel safe, I love you Drew."
I smile and kiss her again, "I love you Bianca."
(CLARE)
After my brothers demand me to go home I run out of the police station in frustration before I attack the cop for calling me young lady. It drives me crazy when adults do that I find it extremely disrespectful to be called young lady when I'm a teenager and the adult is maybe ten years older than me. You call little girls young lady to make them feel older.
"Clare where are you going?" Owen inquires grabbing my arm
"Somewhere else," I reply.
"Well you're not going alone come on get in my car," Owen tells me pulling my arm.
"I don't want to go home, I want to scream," I comment when Owen starts driving.
"Okay," Owen shrugs. He parks at the school and we walk down through the ravine, we go past the bonfire and the place most of the kids from DeGrassi hang out. We walk down the creek a little deeper into the woods. "So scream," Owen says when we're alone.
I do just that, screaming at the top of my lungs and stomping my foot but I'm still angry and frustrated. Mostly about Fitz but also about some other things and it's all just bubbling over in me. I need a release, a more cathartic release than a scream and it's been my experience orgasms are good for that and Owen's right there. I walk over and push him against a tree attacking his lips with mine; I grab his shirt pulling it over his head briefly breaking us from the kiss. When his shirt is off I take my shirt off and then my bra, Owen looks surprised but he's not trying to stop me and is merely grinning with lust.
I open his jeans, pulling them down and reaching in circling my fingers around his growing bulge. Owen grins lying down on our shirts in the dirt, I'm not sure what he's thinking but I know what I'm thinking. I straddle over him taking his cock in my hand and stroking. Owen pulls down my panties and his fingers open my slit, he takes my hips pulling me down and his tongue delves inside of me. I moan squirming in his hands and taking his erection between my lips. I suck lightly, his tongue goes in a little farther and I moan against him. It does occur to me that we're in the open and can be seen so decide we'd better get through this somewhat quickly. Owen knows what he's doing and as I go faster his tongue licks around faster. Within a few minutes my body begins to tremble and Owen tenses, I start to orgasm just as he climaxes and my moans are muted by his seed shooting into my mouth. I swallow and finish moaning as Owen jolts a little and then fixes my panties. He sits up and pulls me into his lap.
"That was fun; do you always get so amorous when you're frustrated?" Owen inquires.
"Yep it's a good thing you were around," I reply and kiss him before getting off his lap.
"You know as much as your brothers and the rest of us worry about you it's not nearly enough. You haven't done that with any strangers have you?" Owen asks as I look around for my bra.
"No strangers and I'm safe, much as I complain about you all watching me so closely I also use it to threaten guys who would think about hurting me," I tell him finding my bra and top. I also hand him his shirt, "You know we're all covered in dirt and leaves we should get cleaned up before going to my house because I'm pretty sure everyone is there."
"We can clean up in the school," Owen responds.
We walk back to the school, shower in the locker rooms and put on our gym clothes while our clothes are washed in the school machines. Since I get bored waiting for our clothes to dry I push Owen against the dryer and make out with him until our clothes are dry. We leave the school through the back and Owen drives us to my house where everyone else has now gathered. I see Sean's car but when I get in I don't see him.
"Where's Fitz did you get him out of jail?" I ask Sean. Some people are eating but I'm not hungry, Drew does look relieved to see me though and Adam just shakes his head at me since he probably had some idea what Owen and I doing.
"He's okay, he's in the shower, jails are dirty," Sean says.
"Is there food left?" Owen asks.
"In the kitchen," Paige answers.
"What's going to happen to Fitz?" I inquire.
"He goes before a judge next Monday; we meet with his lawyer tomorrow. He'll probably be sent to the reform school again, I won't be surprised if he graduates from there and not DeGrassi," Sean comments.
"I'm going to do my homework in my room," I remark while Owen comes out with a plate of food.
"Did you eat?" Paige inquires. Spinner isn't off work for another couple of hours yet but I'm sure he's been thoroughly filled in.
"I ate a mouth full," I reply with a coy smile looking at Owen and he starts choking on his food for my double entendre. I start giggle and rush back to my room before Drew, or anyone else, can ask any questions. I sit at my desk and do my homework but stop when I hear the washroom door opening. I open my door with my hand on my hip and Fitz looks at me once he has his shirt on. "You're going to be sent back to reform school, you know that don't you?"
"I told you I like it there," he responds with a grin and I twist my face at him. "He tried to rape Bianca he had to pay," Fitz says walking into my room and pulling me with him.
"I'm not arguing that, he should be castrated but you got arrested Fitz. At some point they'll stop sending you to reform school and you'll actually be sent to prison. I love how you protect the people you care about but I don't you getting hurt either. You were in this very room a few hours lecturing me about being reckless and then you run off half-cocked to go beat up a guy. What happens when the guy fights back or has a weapon?"
"Clare I'm fine," Fitz assures me taking me into his arms. "I did what I did for Bianca I'd do the same for anyone of you. I'll get a few months at the reform school and maybe some community service."
"I hate when you're there and gone from us. I hate losing anyone else even if it's only for a little while."
"You're seeing so many guys you probably won't even miss me," Fitz replies.
"What does that mean?" I question pushing him away to glower at him. Fitz opens his mouth but there's a knock on the door before he can answer.
"Little bro I'm going to check on Mom you should eat something, we'll sleep here tonight," Sean calls through the door.
"Don't tell her I got arrested for aggravated assault," Fitz calls back.
"Not a chance, Clare make sure he eats something," Sean says and we hear him walk down the hall.
"You should get some dinner before Owen eats whatever's left," I tell Fitz.
"Did you eat?"
"Yeah and Owen tastes good," I reply with a vindictive tone for the jab about me seeing so many guys I won't notice he's gone.
It was mean I know, I feel Fitz tensing and he walks past me. It doesn't occur to me that he could reveal what Owen and I did until Fitz leaves the room. I wait to hear yelling but I don't hear anything, I stay in my room and finish my homework. I hear Sean come back and Lucas leave for work followed shortly by Emma leaving for work and then Spin comes home. I hear Owen leave too but everyone else is staying here tonight. I finished my homework long ago but have yet to leave my room, yes I'm pouting but I don't care. I change for bed and turn out my light, almost getting into bed when I hear a tap on my window. I pull back my curtain and find Reese at my window and he grins when he sees me in the nightie I chose to wear tonight.
"I came to see if you wanted to go out again but maybe we should stay in," Reese grins.
"Let's go out there's too many people here tonight, just give me a minute to get dressed," I reply.
"How about I help you get undressed first," Reese grins and starts climbing through the window. He gets pulled about halfway through before he's pulled back and punched in the face.
"Fitz stop it!" I scold him in a whisper so no one else comes out.
"Stay away from her," Fitz growls leading Reese away from the house by his shirt and shoves him down the street before returning and crawling through my window. "Reese is dangerous, guys with good intentions don't crawl through your window in the middle of the night," Fitz tells me.
"You just did," I point out.
"Keeping him out," Fitz counters. "Good night Clare," Fitz says walking toward my door but I catch his arm.
"Stop, sleep in here please," I request.
"Did you really do something with Owen tonight?" He asks turning around to look at me.
"Does it matter?"
"Yes."
"I was frustrated and angry, the cops wouldn't let me see you and one called me young lady. I needed a release and I'm not the little angel everyone likes to think I am."
"No one thinks you're an angel Clare, doesn't mean I want to hear about you with other guys," Fitz replies.
"Why does that even matter?"
"For someone really smart you can be really dense," Fitz responds and crushes his lips to mine. It's not the first time we've kissed but I gasp when his lips touch mine. It's a more forceful more passionate kiss than we've shared before. Fitz puts a hand at my lower back and my arms go around his neck. He brushes my hair back, his tongue gently seeking access between my lips and I grant it. My lips parting and he deepens the kiss, his tongue strokes mine and then he pulls away, "We should get to bed."
"I'm not tired now," I reply.
"When are you ever tired? Sean and I have to meet with my council in the morning," Fitz informs me.
I get in bed and watch Fitz strip down in the dim light coming through the curtains. He gets in the bed and falls asleep almost instantly but I can't sleep. My mind is restless and so am I but when I start to get up Fitz grabs my nightie.
"Sleep," he commands.
"I can't."
"Roll over," Fitz commands.
"Why?"
"Do you trust me?"
I roll over and Fitz sits up, he straddles over me and sits on my butt lifting my nightie and I admit there's a moment when my stomach muscles tighten nervously. A moment when I wonder what he's going to do but I do trust Fitz. All he does do is rub my back, he rubs softly but it's very relaxing and I start to get tired. When he stops and lies next to me he continues caressing my back lightly until he falls asleep again but I soon follow. Waking up when his alarm goes off at 5:30.
"We're meeting with the lawyer dude at seven and I gotta get all cleaned up," Fitz says getting out of bed.
"Will you be at school later?"
"Yeah after we meet with the lawyer," he replies and he starts getting dressed.
He exits my room and I hear him and Sean leaving a few minutes later. I fall asleep again until Adam opens my door and tells me to get up for school. I get dressed and go out to the kitchen devouring breakfast since I didn't eat dinner yesterday. Drew drives us to school and Bianca rides with us because her car is still at her aunt's apartment. Bianca and Adam begin walking to the school but Drew grabs my waist and stops me from walking.
"Should I worry about Fitz being in your room all night?"
"Adam's not worried," I reply.
"I get the feeling Adam doesn't tell us a lot so we don't buy you a chastity belt," Drew responds.
"You don't need to worry about Fitz, he's probably the most gentlemanly man of all of you," I comment.
"Just tell me one thing, are you still a virgin?"
"Yes big brother," I assure him and he lets out a relieved breath.
Drew puts his arm around me and we walk into school, he lets go of me to go find Bianca though. I start walking to my locker but get distracted when I see Jenna and K.C. sitting on a bench.
"Hey Clare how's Fitz?" K.C. inquires.
"He and Sean are meeting with the lawyer now. So you guys talked did you decide what you're going to do?"
"No not yet we're still talking does anyone else know?" Jenna asks.
"No one that didn't know before, you guys can tell them when you're ready," I reply.
I wave to them and walk to my locker I open it and get out my English book. Jumping and gasping with a start when I close my locker to find Reese standing there, sporting a black eye courtesy of Fitz.
"That thug at your house gave me a nasty black eye," Reese growls.
"He was just protecting me, I'm sorry for your eye is it really bad?"
"I'm not worried about my eye but I don't like being denied," Reese tells me through clenched teeth.
"Then next time don't sneak through my window when my house is full of people," I reply and try to walk away but Reese leans over me and pushes me to the lockers.
"I don't like being denied especially by two bit thugs wi…"
"Clare," Adam calls from down the hall and starts walking toward us with his arm around Maya. He also uses our code whistle so anyone in our gang nearby knows to come. "You okay sis?"
Reese whispers in my ear, puts on a smile and steps away from me, "She's fine."
"What's going on?" Owen inquires appearing with Drew, Bianca, Jenna and K.C. which is everyone but Zig and Tris.
"Just saying good morning to Clare," Reese responds.
"How'd you get the black eye?" Drew questions.
"Fighting with someone at the ravine, see you later Clare," Reese remarks and saunters off past Adam and Maya.
"Clare you alright?" Drew asks.
"I'm fine," I nod, "I should get to class. Anyone heard from Fitz or Sean?"
"Fitz won't be here until second period, you sure you're okay what did Reese want?" Owen queries.
"Nothing," I reply and Adam gives me a look but I'm not about to explain what happened last night to all of them.
"We all have the same homeroom let's get to class," Adam says putting his arm around me. We drop Maya at art and walk to English with K.C. and Jenna. "So what did Reese really want?" Adam asks when we're sitting at our desks, "And how did he get the black eye and don't lie to me because I know when you're lying."
That's not a very bad cliffhanger right? Next update won't be until Saturday May 16th because next Saturday I'll be gone all day. Next update will pick up from around here and include more from Reese, Jenna and K.C.'s decision and Adam gets in a little trouble.
