Okay, so I still haven't seen the newest epi. Of Degrassi as I'm writing this chapter. I hope it was good.

Anyways. Fan fiction is running really slow for me right now and not letting me upload. Sigh. So I'm writing more and more chapters while waiting. Things are going ot get juicy pretty soon ;)

Disclaimer: I don't own any of this stuff. As usual.

~ Clare's P.o.v ~

"Eli where are we going?"

"A new room. They won't find us there. I will do everything I can to protect us. You are my life now. Clare just follow everything I say. "

"okay" I knew I could trust him with my life and so did my father.

He pulled me into a room that was way under the theatre. It was fairly small, but I didn't care I just needed to calm Eli down. He was starting to have a panic attack.

"Eli! You need to calm down. Calm down. Shhhh. We'll figure this all out." I said trying to relax him while holding him tightly. he then charged away from me.

"No Clare we won't, my life is over. Don't you understand what this means? Martin is going to make sure my life is ruined and that he gets you all to himself. Of course you had to pick him to leave me for in the first place!" he was yelling now. It frightened me at first until he said I picked Jake over him. That pissed me off.

"REALLY ELI? I PICKED JAKE OVER YOU? IF THAT WAS TRUE I WOULD BE HELPING JAKE HUNT YOU DOWN RIGHT NOW, BUT NO INSTEAD I'M TRYING TO GET YOU TO CALM DOWN SO WE CAN COME UP WITH A PLAN TO SAVE BOTH OF OUR ASSES! NOW SIT DOWN, SHUT THE FUCK UP, AND THINK!"

He was the one who brought out my bitchy side, so he shouldn't be all surprised. I could tell he was surprised I had a bitchy side, because he followed my orders looking dumbfounded.

"Okay look. Jake doesn't know anything about you. All he can guess now is that there really is a phantom in the theatre like everybody else. Big deal! Everybody thinks that. I'm the only one who knows the truth about you and that's the way I'm going to keep it. Plus Martin ALMOST raped me. I can charge him for that. You are the one that saved the day and that's what I'll tell the police if it absolutely comes down to it. Sure they'll laugh in my face and not believe that there is a phantom 'haunting the theatre, but they'll it go."

"How did I get so lucky?" he asked with his smirk. That's my boy.

"Well my father kind of started our relationship in a way. And you just had to be a creep who stalked my every move until I begged you to tell me the truth." I smiled and kissed him.

"You didn't beg me. You demanded from me. You're just too gorgeous to say no to" he said.

I could feel my cheeks blushing.

"Well. Well. What do we have here?" Eli and I got up in a heartbeat.

"Jake."

"Well now I understand. Clare is in love with phantom boy. "

"Shut up Jake" I said.

"Now. Now. Do you honestly think it's a good idea to disrespect the guy who just found out your little secret and can have the police arrest him right this second?" he said pointing to Eli.

"What do you want Jake?"

~ Jake's P.o.v ~

What do I want? Haha I will tell you what I want Clare Edwards.

"I want you Clare Edwards. If you come with me right now, I will make sure the police don't find your precious phantom, and I promise your secret is safe with me, as long as you play along around the theatre that you are my girlfriend and soon to be wife as well as the mother of my children." I told her with a smirk.

~ Eli's P.o.v ~

"NO, you can't hav –"

"Okay." Clare said

"What?" I said looking at her.

"E – Angel of music. It's the only way. You know the consequences of you being found. I'm willing to do this for our love."

She said as she turned towards me. And I wanted so bad to be able to go out into public with her and say

'She is mine and I am hers. Jake Martin is a fraud and can't have my lady.'

But I was too selfish. I was too selfish to fight for our love. I grabbed her hand and placed a kiss on it and then let her go with Martin. I was a coward. I didn't deserve to be loved by such an angel who would do anything to keep me alive and well. But the truth is I would rather be dead then know the Jake martin has his greasy hands all over her instead of me being able to take care and love the girl I just lost. Now she is Jake Martin's Clare. My Clare is no longer mine. My hands balled up into fists. I'm going to get her back. The question is how though.

~ Clare's P'o'v ~

Why did I say yes? Why didn't I slap Jake across the face and run? Oh yeah, because I love Eli to death and if I didn't do this I would lose the love of my life all because he was a scared little boy who was at the wrong place at the wrong time. God I would do anything to prove Eli is innocent. I would do anything to be in his arms right now instead of Jake's. And I would do anything to be able to have an open relationship in front of the whole world. But that won't happen, not now. The only thing I can remember about Eli right now is his face when I agreed to Jake's terms. He was so heartbroken. His Emerald green eyes dripped with thick tears. But they weren't normal tears they were tears of love. He shed tears of the love he was losing. I was all he had and I promised no I swore I would never leave him. I just hurt him to the core. I'm such a horrible person. He will probably never be able to forgive me once he realizes what who I really am. A selfish and ignorant girl who has gone mad.

Jake and I had finally reached the chief of police and I stood there while Jake did what he does best. Lie. But this was a lie that he was doing for me since I agreed to his terms on letting Eli go and keeping our little secret.

~Jake's P.o.v ~

I finally got her to myself. I can't believe that Phantom legend is actually true. He looked so familiar though. Almost like I've known of his spirit as a child. I didn't think much of it though; it was probably just a coincidence.

I started to spread the rumors of Clare and I fast. I told every soul I could and they would always ask Clare if it was true. She was always hesitant, because I could tell she didn't want to do this. She always said yes though and put on a fake smile that everybody thought was real. If I didn't know any better I would've thought it was real too. It then hit me. I was starting to really fall for Clare. I didn't just want her to pleasure me. I wanted her, because she was a mystery. A mystery that no one could figure out. I loved that about her. I realized I could finally be loved correctly by a woman. By Clare.

~ Cindy's P'o'v ~

I heard the rumors about Clare and Jake. Hell everyone did. Some people cheered them on and congratulated them. Some could see right through Clare's fake smile and could tell something was up, but they didn't push her for more info. They couldn't even if they wanted to. Jake was by her side 24/7. He wouldn't leave her. If only I could help Clare and the Angel Of music. They both deserve to be happy. And I could tell she was getting to Eli. She's the only one I know that has the power to force him out of his cave. She's the only one I know who can help him live a normal life. I had to figure out a way to get Martin out of the picture. I need Clare to let Eli out. He needs to know the truth about his life sooner or later. And I'm the only one around to explain it to him.

Ruh can't be not at -no Cindy-no Jake-no Clare-no. Somebody save them all from heartbreaks,and deaths,and tears!Please oh please save them all.
