"Clare; I get that you're scared but-"

"You don't get it Eli," Clare sobbed, happy that the hallways were empty so that no one could see her in such a pathetic state. "Everything I love is leaving!" she choked out and Eli grabbed her wrist, pulling her into a very comforting hug.

"It'll be ok," he tried to soothe the hysteric girl before him. It killed him to see her in this state. She was always the strong one that wouldn't break down no matter what was thrown at her. To see her like this made him want to cry as well.

Not that he cried; because that would be un-Eli-like.

"No it won't!" Clare insisted, trying to pull away from a second before finally giving in to the hug. "Everything's falling apart and there's nothing I can do to stop It." she whispered into his red polo, momentarily shocking her. Since when did he follow the dress code?

"Sometimes things happen that are out of your control." Eli whispered into his hair, remembering the time he had seen Julia ride off into the night and not knowing that would be the last time he'd ever see her.

"I know but-it's just-I can't." she was stuttering, trying to think of the correct way to explain it even though Eli already understood what she was trying to say perfectly.

"It's all going to be ok Blue Eyes." He insisted, tightening his hold on her and burying his face in her curly hair. He didn't understand why anything bad would happen to someone as perfect as Clare. She definitely didn't deserve to be feeling this much pain and he wanted to just take it all away.

"No it won't," Clare repeated, gripping his shirt and taking a deep shuddering breath. "I told you that everything I love is leaving, and that means you're going to leave sooner or later." Eli froze and silence followed Clare's shaky statement.

"What Blue Eyes?" he asked.

"You're going to leave to…" Clare whispered, so quietly that if anyone were in the hallway Eli wouldn't have been able to hear it. But since the hallway was abandoned he heard it loud and clear.

Did she honestly think he would leave her?

"That's never going to happen Blue Eyes." He said simply and she froze as well. "I would never leave you." She opened her mouth to reply but they heard a door slam open and she instantly pulled away, not wanting to get either of them detention because of the PDA rules. They both glanced towards the sound of the noise and froze. Adam whistled to himself and shoved his hands in his khaki pants; completely oblivious to the two best friends he hadn't seen in a while. When he did notice them a bright smile lit his features.

"Hey guys what's…" he froze and stared at the two of them. "Clare… you look upset." He pointed out the obvious. After a second of processing that fact he instantly rounded on Eli. "What did you do?" Eli looked offended and Clare bit back a giggle.

"What did I do? Why do you assume this has anything to do with me?" Eli asked.

"Because you're afraid of commitment and have a habit of pushing Clare away…" Adam trailed off, his eyes widening in realization. "Oh my gosh; you two had sex didn't you?" Clare and Eli both froze.

"What?" Clare choked out.

"No!" Eli insisted. Adam's eyebrows shot up at their defensiveness and a slow smirk slid onto his face.

"Sure you didn't." he said slowly, a twinkle in his eye. "Don't worry Clare; I'm sure no one will notice the fact that you're not wearing your purity ring." The couple both looked down at her hand and, sure enough, she wasn't wearing it. "Have fun!" Adam said in a sing song tone before shoving his hands back into his pockets and starting down the hallway.

"Oh God." Eli said, his head falling into his hands.
