Disclaimer : I do not own Degrassi or the characters. I only own the plot of this story.


Eli massaged his temples. He hated to see Clare sad..or crying. Right now he was very confused and frustrated. He did something he would regret later. Something he didn't think about before doing it.

"Will stop crying and tough it up?" He yelled at Clare. Adam stared, shocked. He knew the guy's condition and all. But still. It was only a minute ago that he saw him being sweet to Clare.

"It would much be easier if you shut your goddamn mouth, stop being a little crybaby, crying every time we have a fucking problem, and help us out here!"

Clare's eyes widened and she sobbed harder. She ran into the bathroom and locked the door.

"What the hell was that?" Adam hissed. Eli closed his eyes and said quietly "I don't know.." "What the hell is wrong with you? First you act all sweet and now you're a jerk.."

He glared at Eli. "I know your condition and all, but what you did does not justify what you just did to Clare.." Eli nodded, feeling terrible.

He didn't mean to snap at Clare like that. His emotions were running high and at the heat of the moment..he just lost headed towards the bathroom and knocked on the door.

"Clare, please open the door.. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you.."

Adam watched him with piercing eyes. 'I know he's bipolar and all, I understand that, but I can't stand seeing Clare cry or getting hurt...'

Clare sobbed, she could hear Eli asking her to open the door. 'I know he's bipolar, but it still hurts!' "Go away, you sick freak!"

Eli stepped back. Ouch. Now that hurt. ' I guess I deserved that..I did hurt her, after all..' He really didn't mean to hurt Clare. She was his fragile angel after all..

'And that's one of the things I like about her. And one of the reasons why I should protect her...'

"Clare, open the door..' He pleaded. Clare continued crying, ignoring him. She was so frustrated and confused, and he had to yell at her like that. She cried harder.

"Clare, please..." Adam went over and pushed Eli aside. "Clare,you need to open the door.. He said he's sorry.." He said, glaring at Eli.

No response. The two guys sighed. "Clare, please let me talk to you..." Eli said, sadly. The door opened. Adam went to the kitchen to give them some privacy.

Eli entered the bathroom. Clare was on the floor, wiping her tears away. Her eyes were red and puffy, her hair was messy and her clothes were in disarray.

Eli kneeled before her. "What do you want?" She said weakly. He pulled the petite girl into a hug. "I'm sorry.." He murmured into her hair.

He pulled away to look at her. "It's just that my emotions weren't stable and-" "It's okay..I guess I was really acting like a crybaby.."

He sat down next to her, and gently pulled her onto his lap.
"You were not, trust me.. I'm really sorry, baby.." She snuggled in his chest. "What are we going to do?" Eli sighed.

"To be honest, I don't know.." "I'm scared.." "Me too.." She sighed.

"What I mean is, I'm scared of what will happen to you. Mom would never hurt me. She'd just lock me in the house forever.. Who knows what she could do to you.."

"Don't worry about me, Clare..." "It's kind of hard not to.."
He kissed her forehead. "Vous vous inqui tez pas trop ..."
Her eyes widened. "You speak French?" 'He speaks French, and fluently, too...'

"So are you like part French or something?" Another smirk. And a shake of the head.

Eli nodded, satisfied that he distracted her from all her confusion and frustration. "Well, what did you say?" He smirked. "J'ai dit , 'vous vous inqui tez trop'.. " I said, ' You worry too much..'

She pouted. "I don't understand that!" He chuckled. She was so cute when she was angry or pouting. "It isn't funny!"

"Oui, il est.." Yes, it is.

She folded her arms and looked away. He stroked her hair.

"Vous tes tr s belle.." You're very beautiful.. He tilted her chin up so she was facing him. "Vous tes la plus belle fille que j'ai jamais vu.." You are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen..

"La seule fille que j'aime, le premier et le dernier, et la seule fille que je vais jamais l'amour .." The only girl I love, the first and last , and the only girl I'll ever love..

"Vous savez que, droite?" You know that, right? He kissed her deeply, lovingly. She responded by wrapping her arms around her neck.
"Okay.. Enough with the lovey-dovey stuff... Lunch is ready.." They both pulled away, Eli smirking while Clare was blushing at being caught.

Adam had a horrified face. It was like watching his sister making out with someone. He shook his head and headed to the living room.

Clare and Eli joined him , Clare still blushing, and they both sat next to Adam. Eli pulled her close to him by wrapping an arm around her waist.

"Vous avez l'air tr s mignon quand vous rougissez." You look very cute when you blush. Adam rolled his eyes, he obviously understood French.

"Can we just eat?" "You understand French?" Adam smiled sheepishly. "That's not fair!" He and Eli laughed. "Let's just eat.." Adam said, still chuckling. It was so cute and funny when Clare acted like that.

"This looks good, Adam.. Thank you.." Adam smiled. They began eating the fried chicken and spaghetti. Once they were done eating, Adam turned on the DVD player and put on a movie.

"You guys can sleep in the guest room. Mom's out with her sister and won't be coming back till next week.."

They finished the movie and passed time by talking. Then evening came and they had dinner. Then headed off to bed. "Thanks for everything.."

Eli said as he followed Clare to the room. "No prob. Goodnight.." Adam said, smiling as he entered his room.

Eli closed the door behind him and joined Clare in the bed. They both lay down. "This will all work out, I promise.." Clare smiled and lay he head on his chest. "I know it will."

He wrapped his arms around her while she snuggled in his chest. "I love you, Eli.." "Je t'aime aussi, Clare.." I love you too, Clare. And they both drifted off into a peaceful slumber.
