A/N: thanks to all my readers and reviewers :)

Drew's POV

WHY?

Why the hell did I just go and piss off the love of my life because of a stupid fight between Jake and my brother...?

Nope, wasn't even my fight... I just had to let the sight of my beaten up brother get the best of me and take it out on Clare. Why...?

I have no freakin' idea.

I mean, it's not like Clare was the one who'd caused my little brother to get a sprained ankle. She wasn't the one who had Adam pinned to the ground. What did Clare do...?

Nothing!

Wow, I'm an ass...

Oh, and it turns out that the whole fight was over a girl! Bianca to be exact. Apparently, Jake and Bianca are together now which had caused the fight... Or at least that's what Adam told me.

Either way, I need to find away to make up for my assanine-ness (is that even a word?) to Clare. She did nothing, and she deserves way better than the way I treated her yesterday. This is going to involve a lot of thought (and money)... Hmmm...

Clare's POV

Drew's an ass. 'Nuff said...

Wait, no! There's more:
...Drew's a HUGE ass.

Okay, I'm done.

Bianca's POV

I'm speechless. How the hell did a single kiss cause so much freaking damage?...

A fight? Adam...got into a fight. Over me?

It all just seems so unreal at the moment. But there's one real big problem here: Adam getting all jealous and fighting Jake over me... Is so freaking adorable!...which makes me like him even more! But...chances are he'll never talk to me again! Why would he even want anything to do with me after seeing me kiss Jake? I mean, I've made my feelings for Adam pretty obvious!...At least I think so. And now I go pulling this crap? I would hate my guts if I were Adam... He probably just thinks of me now as the same old "Bianca DeSousa, the slut". And I was so sure that title was long gone...

Wrong. As usual.

Ugh, this sucks... But, no! I am going to make things right if it's the last thing I do! Adam's a nice guy so if he'll just give me the chance to explain myself...maybe everything won't be over after all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I walked through the halls of Degrassi, searching every face for those signature baby blues of his. Just as I was about to give up and decide he just wasn't in school...I saw him. This was my third time passing his locker this morning and he was finally there. I willed for my feet to move toward him, but they refused. I gulped down the nervous bile in my throat.

What would I say? "Oh, that fight you got into yesterday was for no reason at all; Jake and I aren't together, I just kissed him for the hell of it. Oh, and by the way: I FREAKING LOVE YOU!"

Yeah... Not going to work.

Before any other thought could register in my mind, his gorgeously innocent eyes locked with mine.

Suddenly, a surge of confidence entered my body.

You can do this Bianca, I thought.

Before I could think through what I was doing, my feet made their way over to Adam, my hands grabbed his face, and my lips met his.

Holy crap, what did I just do?

Adam's POV

As mine and Bianca's lips parted, I just stood there, stunned. What had just happened? One minute I was leaning my crutches against the wall so that I could retrieve a text book from my locker. The next, her lips were on mine.

I stuttered, "U-um. Nice to see you too...?"

"I am so sorry", she said.

"For what, exactly?" I wondered aloud.

"For giving you a sprained ankle. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have fought Jake"

"O-oh... You know about that?", I asked shamefully. It was bad enough she'd pitied me this whole time. It was even worse that she knew I fought her little boyfriend because I got crazy jealous.

"Yes, and I need to explain some stuff to you. But first, I think it's important you know... I love you, Adam"

Whoa. Definitely wasn't expecting that...

"But, Jake-", I started.

"-and I are nothing" she completed. "Look, i care about you, Adam; alot. And i know you saw me kiss Jake and that's why you two got into a fight but, you have to understand... I only kissed him because i was trying to get over you(italics)"

I was having trouble taking all of this in. "But, why?"

"Because i thought you didn't have feelings for me and i just couldn't handle that, so..."

"So you tried moving onto Jake?" I inquired.

She let out a great sigh. "Yeah"

I nodded my head, trying to take this all in. I looked at Bianca to see her staring down at her feet shamefully.

Bianca's POV

After endless moments of silence, I heard him clear his throat awkwardly and then speak up. "So, you like...me?"

I nodded my head while hoping he wouldn't notice me blush.

"And there's nothing going on between you and Jake?" he inquired.

"Nothing at all", I assured.

Adam's POV

I paused to think for a moment. Then i finally decided on the perfect choice of words.

"There's something I've been too chicken to say for some time now... I love you too, B. I think about you all the time, and I can't get your damn beautiful curls out of my head"

I could feel myself blushing as I said this but I noticed her face was glowing with red also. She smiled up at me.

"So, now what?" She asked of me.

"Well, I was thinking..."

"Yes...?"

"That maybe we could kind of, sort of...", I teased.

"Yeah...?", she urged.

"Escape the friend zone...?"

Bianca smiled brightly before wrapping her arms around me without a thought and melding her lips to mine.

This was the freaking best.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~3rd Person~

Adam and Bianca entered the cafeteria together that afternoon. Adam hopped one step at a time on his crutches as Bianca carried his bag slung over her shoulder.

As they approached their usual lunch table, they noticed Drew sitting there alone, while Clare was seated at a table on the other side of the caf. Bianca and Adam shared glances as if making a silent agreement that they needed to mend things between Drew and Clare.

Adam spoke up. "I'll take Clare, you talk to Drew"

Bianca nodded her head in agreement.

Adam hopped on his crutches over to his blue-eyed friend. He took a seat next to her, laying the crutches on the floor before him.

Clare looked up at Adam who was now seated next to her. "Oh hey, Adam. How's your foot?" She took notice of his crutches.

"Eh, fine I guess. Just a sprained ankle"

Clare smiled weakly at him feeling bad for his injury.

"Look, I'm sorry about fighting your brother. I just assumed he and Bianca were together and it sent me a little crazy"

Clare chuckled. "It's fine. Jake told me everything. The one who should be apologizing right now is Drew...", she said bitterly.

Adam frowned. "He's tried texting and calling you..."

"So? An 'I'm sorry text' with a frowny face just isn't going to cut it... Plus I just don't feel like talking to him after what happened"

Adam sighed. "Look. My brother...is an ass"

Clare chuckled at the statement she'd been thinking in her head all day.

Adam continued, "But, he cares about you...a lot. He just has a little trouble thinking before letting words coming out of that moronic trap of his. He literally can't live without you, Clare"

Clare smiled sadly, but shrugged off the heart-warming statement.

"Just give him a chance to explain himself" Adam begged.

Clare gave in as she saw Drew approaching them from a distance. "Fine. But that doesn't mean I have to talk back..."

Adam nodded his head acceptingly. "Good enough" He rose from his seat as an apprehensive Drew approached them along with Bianca.

"Good luck, dude" Adam offered to his brother as he got back on his crutches and Bianca helped him over to their usual table.

Drew took a seat next to Clare as she stared straight ahead refusing to make eye contact with him.

Drew sighed. "Look... I'm sorry"

Clare sat there silently, awaiting the rest of his apology (because there sure as hell better have been more).

Drew continued. "I shouldn't have blamed that stupid fight on you. It was dumb of me. I guess I was just fighting my brother's battles for him...

Silence.

"But I was fighting the wrong person for him. Clare, I know that fight was between Adam and Jake. Neither of us had anything to do with it, especially you. And I am so, so sorry for blaming you"

Clare wanted to just accept his apology and be done with it. But,...messing with his head was just way too fun. So she stayed silent.

"Look, Clare, I'll make it up to you. You see, there's this Fireflight concert next week..."

That had caught her attention. Clare finally looked up curiously, making eye contact with him.

Drew continued. "And, I managed to get a set of tickets for us..."

Clare's eyes widened as he pulled the pair of tickets out of his pocket. "No", she breathed in disbelief while snatching the tickets out of his hand to examine them. "We're going to see Fireflight in concert?" She exclaimed after deciding that the tickets were legit.

"Yep! So, ya love me again?" Drew asked jokingly sarcastic while holding out his arms for a hug.

Clare squealed in excitement while grabbing him in a tight, warm embrace. "Who said I ever stopped?"

Drew chuckled while kissing the top of her head.

Drew's POV

Women. They're quite simple when you think about it. All you need is brains and money to make 'em happy.
