Guess whose back!? Oh right, me! Sorry I haven't updated in a while, it seems that I always start my chapters like this...oh well.

Lets get this party started!

"Eli, I'm so sorry. For everything." its seems that Clare has been apologizing a lot lately.

Eli caressed her cheek and wiped away a tear that escaped her ocean blue eyes. "Clare, you have nothing to be sorry for. You did nothing wrong, if anyone should be apologizing it should be me." Clare gave Eli a confused look and was about to ask what he was talking about but he continued to talk.

"Do you remember how you got here?" Eli asked.

"Faintly. All I remember was Jake barging in when we were about to..." Clare didn't know how to approach the subject.

"Kiss." Eli finished, "I'm not sure if we should talk about that right now." this angered Clare that he just wanted to forget it.

"Why not?"

"Because this is not the time or place to talk about it right now. Yes it is a very important subject that should be addressed but right now we need to focus on just you. Don't take it in a bad way, we just need to take care of a more serious situation first." Eli explained and Clare looked down and nodded her head. Eli felt bad for Clare, she didn't deserve to be treated the way she was.

"What first?" Clare asked as she played with her hospital bracelet that stated her name and birthday. She look at the time she was admitted into the hospital. It read 12:30pm, the current time was 10:30pm, she'd been asleep for ten hours straight.

"Oh gosh! I was really out that long? You guys must have been so worried." she started to tear again.

"Clare, you were in a lot of pain, you needed to sleep so you could heal and feel better. But you're right, we were worried, I was very worried that you wouldn't..." Eli got choked up trying to finish his sentence.

"Wake up? Eli, I would NEVER do that to you. Ever." she took her good hand and laced their fingers together. Even to this day, after everything they went through, Clare still feels that same tingling feeling whenever she and Eli touched. By the looks of his smirk, Eli still gets the same feeling too.

"I want to know everything that happened; from start to finish." Eli sighed and began to explain what happened in the last 24 hours of their lives. When Eli go to the part where Jake rammed Clare into the wall and her crumpling to the floor, he began to shake.

"Breath, Eli." he did as told and continued. When he was finally done telling the story Clare was a mess. She didn't understand why she let this get so far out of hand. Why she let the people she love get hurt.

"So what now?" Clare asked.

"Me, Shane, and Clary already gave statements to the police about what happened and they're waiting for you to wake up to get your side of the story." Clare looked out the window and saw a black butterfly with an elaborate blue design on its wings. Julia, Clare thought.

"Have you talked to the police about Imogen yet?"

Eli looked down and ran his free hand through his dark locks, "No. The only proof we have is what Jake said, and I don't want to listen to a guy who hurt someone I care about."

"But you're not saying you don't believe him either. You really think Imogen did it?" Clare already knew the truth, unless the whole dream she had was really just a dream.

"Honestly, thinking back to when I was dating Julia and was really close with Clary, I really didn't know who Imogen was. All I knew her as was Clary's twin sister who was never around. In your bedroom when Clary was defending her and how scared Imogen was, it makes sense now. Since I never payed her any attention then she got rid of the one thing that held all my attention. But she didn't realize how much that would affect me so she came to Degrassi to try and be with me. And she was because we broke up. I dated the girl who killed my ex-girlfriend. How fucked up is that?" Clare gave Eli a sympathetic look. She didn't know how to reply to his statement so she just stayed quiet, it was nice.

"Does my mother know why I'm here?"

"Yeah, I told her. I'm sorry if you wanted to tell her, but she was really upset and didn't understand why her little girl was in the hospital all bruised up." Clare remained quiet, she wasn't entirely mad at Eli for telling her mom. But she didn't want her mom finding out from someone else either.

"Its okay. But I did wish that it was me telling her. I should have said something sooner, so much could have been avoided."

"That maybe true, but would I have found out that Imogen killed Julia or would we have started talking again?"

"I don't know" Clare answered honestly. If she mentioned something sooner would she have met Clary at that exact moment in the bathroom? Would they have gone to The Dot the same exact time as Eli was going to be there with Adam, Fiona, Jordan, and Shane? Would she and Eli be talking right now if it weren't for Jake? Even though Jake made Clare's life a living hell for the amount of time they've been dating, she has to thank him for bring Eli back into her life.

"Where is my mom now?"

"She went home, I told her I would look after you."

"Thank you, for everything."

"I would do anything for you, blue. You know that."

"Yeah, I do." she teared up because of how sincere and caring he was being. Clare shifted to her right without getting too much pain through her body, making room on the hospital bed. She patted the spot next to her. Eli smirked and let go of her hand, the few seconds they were apart made her feel cold again. He took of his black Doc Martens and slipped into the bed next to her; she moved slowly onto her side and pressed her body against Eli's. She laid her head and arm on is toned chest and listened to his heart beat.

His right arm went around her small frame and he gently placed his left hand on her broken one and played with the fingers that stuck out of her blue cast.

"Eli?"

"Hm.." his eyes were closed and he was drifting between conscious and unconscious.

"What's going to happen now?"

"I'm not sure." he answered honestly. Clare sighed and fell asleep in Eli's arms.

Knock knock

"I'm sorry, but visiting hours are ov-" the nurse looked up from her clip board to look at the two young teens sleeping on the bed. She smiled at the romantic scene and looked back down at the clip board, Clare Edwards was written at the top and explained why she was admitted into the hospital. The nurse frowned and walked back out of the room. Even thought she didn't even know Clare, she knew Clare deserved better then what she received.

She knew that no one was allowed to stay at the hospital past 10:40pm, but she remembered Eli in the waiting room pacing back and fourth. She seen him cry and smile. She knew he wasn't the one who hurt her, he's the one who loves her.

I know this was short, but I wanted to update and didn't want to keep you guys waiting any longer. I know how much it sucks to have to wait about a month for a fan fiction to be updated. Not fun. Anyways I've looked at how many people actually read my story and its, A LOT! But what upsets me is that I have so many viewers, but so little reviews. Does that make sense? Nope. So if it isn't any trouble, please type a little review? Pretty please with a shirtless Eli on top? Haha.
