Sorry for the long ass wait. Hopefuly I haven't lost any readers. Well I'm gonna try to make this chapter extra long for those who have been waiting on this chapter.

Clare's point of view:

We arrived back at Degrassi when the rain came to a complete stop. Eli parked in the lot and shut off his car. Eli unbuckled his seat belt but made no other movements to indicate we were getting out. He let out a sigh. That was never a good thing. Especially with him. He always has to bottle things up. He basically only tells me what's on his mind.

"What's wrong?" I asked scooting closer to him.

"Nothing" He replied looking blankly out the windshield. Lies!

"Eli" I said in a warning voice.

"I'm fine." He persisted.

"Elijah Collin Goldsworthy" I saw him flinch at the mention of his full first name. "Tell me what's on your mind" I finished looking worridly at his eyes. His facial features softened and he grabbed me in a tight hug. I took it as a sign he wasn't going to be letting go anytime soon.

"I just..." He said his voice trailing off.

"It's okay Eli. You can tell me."

"I just want to know that you're ready. I mean this is a BIG step in our relationship. Plus I'm taking your innocence. I don't want you to regret it. I've come to far to lose you. I can't lose you." He just poured his hear out to me. This is really how he felt? He really cares for me doesn't he? I can understand where he's coming from though. I was nervous too. Then I felt something wet hit the top of my head. Then it happened again. And again. What was happening? Then it dawned on me. He was crying. Elijah Goldsworthy was crying...over me. I think I love him.

"Oh Eli baby. I wont regret it. And stop your crying. I wont leave you. PLus who said we're going to do it now? It's not like I'm going to just jump your bones when we reach your dorm." I said with an encouraging smile.

"I just feel guilty about it. Like I'm making you do this. I feel as though you feel like we need to have sex for me to stay with you." He replied solomnly.

"Honey...I don't feel forced. I want to. And I want you to be my first." I told him.

"And last?" He asked anxiously.

"Slow your roll. We'll see in about 12 years." I told him. That seemed to bring a smile to his ultra sexy face. Eli still held onto.;/4 me and I leaned into him. Even though we were still damp he was really warm.

"Clare?" Eli asked.

"Yes?"

"I love you." Eli said looking me in the eyes. He meant it. Oh My God! He just said he loved me! He just said he loved me! I then saw a look of hurt flash in his eyes. I realised I haven't responded to him yet. Say something Clare!

"R-re-really?" I asked sounding astounded.

"Yes I love you. I love everything about you. Your smile, your smell, your jokes, your hair, your lips, your curves, your kindness, your blush to everything I say, and your big blue eyes." He said smiling down at me. I smiled hugely at him.

"I love you too Eli" I said looking him straight in the eys. His eyes lit up just like the ones of a puppy who sees a new chew toy.

"I love your eyes the most"

"My eyes? Why?" I wonder why he likes my eyes the most? It's not like their something special. Even though he says they are ALL THE TIME.

"Yes your eyes. They're what got me to fall for you. One look in your big blue orbs and I was hooked." Eli said while smiling cheekily at me. I turned to him and smiled brightly. His tears had officially dried and his eyes were back to their stunning green color.

"What I like about you the most is your...smirk." I said

"My smirk?" He said with my favorite facial exspession he always seemed to have. His classic and oh-so-sexy smirk.

"Yes." I said.

"Why?" I knew he knew why I loved his smirk. He just wanted his ego boosted and wanted me to say it.

"Because it's hot." I said truthfully. His smirk widened when I felt heat rush up to my cheeks. Eli then in one swift motion captured my lips with his. I leaned into him and deepened the kiss. Eli held my waist firmly,but not to the point of where he was hurting me. I put my arms around his neck. I felt his tongue lick lower lip. I granted access for his tongue to enter.

After a few minutes of us making out there was loud obnoxious knock on the window. Eli grunted annoyed and pulled away. Standing outside of the hearse was Fitz and Bianca. Great. What do they want? Eli muttered something that sounded like 'shoot me now' before he stepped out of the car. I climbed out the other door and walked towards the others. When I joined them Eli grabbed my hand and pulled me to his side. I saw Fitz glare at him.

"Hi Eli" Bianca said trying to flirt with him while batting her eyelashes. I could tell he was holding in a scoff.

"Bianca, Fitz. What do you need?" He said a little annoyed.

"Oh KC, Drew, and I thought it would be cool to have a guys night." Fitz said. Eli raised his eyebrows in question then looked at me. He was asking me for permission. Even though I'm dating him, I'll say it. He's whipped. I squeezed his hand reassuringly and smiled, signalling that it was okay with me.

"Um sure." Eli said. "What time?"

"Is now okay?" Fitz asked.

"Yeah, i guess." Eli said. Eli then turned to me and smiled. "Sorry babe, but I have to go now. I love you." Eli said before kissing my forehead tenderly.

"I love you too." I said before him and Fitz and took off. And then there were two. I looked at Bianca and she had a little twinkle in her eyes.

"You snagged yourself a hottie there. It would be sad if you lost him." Bianca said smirking before walking off. What the hell did that mean?

Again I wanna say I'm sorry for the wait. Sorry this chapter is terribly short but I felt as though it needed to stop here. Review please.
