Hello! For some reason I felt like updating this soon, Had a wonderful day at school and I am in a very happy mood. Oddly -.- So here's your story!

Claire woke up the next day feeling sore AGAIN. The bruises and cuts got worse and were throbbing. Claire didn't want to go to school. She'd have to face him again. At least she has her trustworthy friend Zane. Claire decided to walk to school turning down Eli's offer to drive her. When she was in the front of the school she saw Eli there. When he saw her his face lit up. She giggled.

Claire: Happy to see me Goldsworthy?

Eli: Im gonna be honest, yes very happy.

She loved his loving and truthful side. They were about to walk to school but was stopped by Zane.

Claire: Hey Zane, whats up?

Claire smiled.

Zane: Talking to you, have great news to tell you.

Claire could see a jealous Eli in the corner of her eyes, and a confused Adam- wait when did he get here?

Claire: Okay, shoot.

Zane: Well I talked things out with my boyfriend… AND WE GOT BACK TOGETHER!

Eli suddenly calmed down and Adam's face turned even more confused.

Claire: Im so happy for you!

Claire gave Zane a friendly hug.

Claire: Is he going to tell your mom about you? I mean that's the whole reason you two broke up.

Zane: Yup, tonight. Is it normal to be this nervous?

Claire laughed.

Claire: Yes, its very normal. But once you get it out of the way you'll be happy. And nothing could stop you two lovebirds.

Zane smiled.

Zane: I hope your right. Well im gonna go. See you later?

Claire: Aaa right lunch.

Zane nodded and walked away.

Adam: Who's that?

Claire: My friend.

Eli: Should I be worried Blue Eyes?

Claire laughed.

Claire: No, he's gay, and I love him!

Eli and Adam smiled and nodded and walked to the school- or should I call it, prison.

Eli walked Claire to her class. When he gave her a hug she gasped.

Eli: Whats wrong?

Claire: Nothing, its nothing.

Claire tried to walk away but Eli grabbed her lightly on her wrists and twisted her around, only to be earned another gasp. Eli looked at Claire concerned. He then dragged her to a corner where nobody could see them and lifted up her shirt a little. He saw the cuts and bruises and quickly turned from concerned to pissed.

Eli: What the hell is that?

Claire looked away, tears filling her eyes.

Eli: Claire!

Claire: There nothing, it doesn't even hurt, so just let it go.

But hardheaded Eli just had to be Eli and poke one of her bruises, Claire flinched.

Eli: Doesn't hurt huh? Tell me, who did this?

Claire: I cant tell you.

Claire tried to avoid Eli's eyes but he lifted up her chin with his hand lightly. The way he touched her, it made her crazy and love him more. He was so gentle and careful. Like if he was rough, she'd break.

Eli: Claire, please. If they threatened you, I'll make sure they don't take another step. Just let me deal with them.

Claire: That's exactly what you always do! Deal with it! This is why im not telling you Eli, I don't want you getting hurt.

Claire was crying now. Eli hated when she cried. He tried to act strong for her but inside, it hurt him deeply.

Eli: Blue Eyes, talk to me. Im here for you. I wont do anything to make you upset. I love you too much.

Did he just say he loved her! She had no idea.

Claire: Eli, I love you too.

Claire smiled. Eli smirked and pulled her in for a kiss. A long deep kiss. One that felt like possession and love.

Eli: Now will you tell me who did that?

He touched her bruises so lightly. Brushing his finger over the throbbing hell.

Claire: I cant. I don't want you hurt.

Eli stared at her. Then it was like something lit up in his brain because he jumped.

Eli: If you wont tell me I'll have to make you.

Claire was confused. But he quickly pushed her to a wall gently, and started kissing her neck. He knew she'd give in. She couldn't resist his kisses.

Claire: Uh Eli, we're in the hallway you know.

Eli: I know, but I don't care. We can do this all day until you tell me who put you through this pain.

Oh great, she was giving in. Only one second close to telling him. She gives up.

Claire: Fine, fine, fine.

Eli took his head away from her neck and kissed her lips quickly and softly. Waiting for an answer. Claire sighed, she knew she might regret this.

Claire: Fitz.

That's all she had to say, one word. One word that automatically changed his face. He was red and his eyes turned from light green to a dark, and deadly green.

Eli: Im gonna kill him.

Eli tried to walk away but Claire stopped him.

Claire: No! Eli you cant.

Eli stopped. He DID promise her he wouldn't do anything.

Claire: Please.

Eli: Fine.

Claire: Thank you.

Claire pulled Eli in for another kiss. He grabbed her waist gently so he could hold her. Claire then noticed, he didn't know about the rape. Maybe he didn't need to know. For now, she's gonna keep her mouth shut and make sure it stays her little seep dark secret.

Done! Did you like it? Happy ending for Ziley! Still more drama to come and go for Eclare :D Please review and thanks for reading!
