Chapter 21
"No…" I said and was cut off by a knock on the door.
"Who could that be?" I asked and got up to answer it.
Knock
Knock
Thump
"What the hell!" I yelled and swung open the door to find Shay standing in our doorway with nothing but jeans on.
"Oh you're not seriously here." I murmured and was about to punch him when he yelled, "WAIT!"
He looked like he was in pain since his hands were on his knees.
"Look man…I'm really sorry. I was super drunk and I know that doesn't make it okay but I just…I don't know what to say." He could barely talk without having to inhale every 3 seconds.
"You hurt my friends, I don't care. You hurt me, I don't care. But when you lay a finger on my family, I can guarantee you won't get away with it." I said and gripped the door handle.
"I- I understand." He said and started to walk away slowly.
"Wait, why are you really here?" I asked with no expression on my face what so ever.
I could tell Clare had disappeared to her room.
"I didn't know where else to go." He said and stood on the sidewalk.
"Don't you live here?" I asked and looked next door.
"No. Well, yes but no." He said.
"You wanna tell me what the fuck is up with you?" I asked impatiently.
"My parents…they're both drug addicts and they're never home. Whenever they are, it's beating after another. So after they heard about our little incident they flipped and accused me of being a horrible child. So I sort of took it to heart and left right at that second, explains why I have no clothing." He said and spread his arms out.
I didn't know what to say. This guy tried to hurt Clare. My Clare. I don't know if I should feel bad or be glad.
"Wait here." I said and went upstairs to get him a shirt.
"Here." I said and handed over a new shirt and one of my old jackets.
"Why are you giving me this?" He asked and put the shirt on.
"I know what it feels like to be left out on the street." I said.
"So what are you gonna do?" I asked and crossed my arms.
"I don't know…get a job. Leave Degrassi." He said and shrugged.
"Yeah, well have fun. And if I EVER see you near Clare again, you'll be sorry you we're even born." I said and slammed the door shut.
After 5 seconds, Clare slowly came down the stairs.
"What did he want?" She asked with a disgusted look on her face.
"Nothing." I said.
"How dare he show up here? In broad day light too!" She yelled and started to pace.
"He must have some serious balls if he thinks he can get away with this!"
"He's gone." I said and put both of my hands on her arms to hold her still.
"I promise, he's gone forever." I said and smiled at her.
Although she was still pretty pissed she just sat down and started to flip through the channels.
"So my love, what do you want to do?" I asked and put my arm around her.
"We have to- we gotta talk about this." She said with a worried look.
"About what?" Even though I knew what she exactly meant.
"This. Us." She said and shrugged and I sighed at the thought.
"Nothing we can do." I said and sat back while crossing my arms.
"What's that supposed to mean?" She asked and turned to look at me.
"Meaning we cannot tell our parents." I said and didn't look at her while she just blinked blankly.
"Then what are we supposed to do?" She asked.
"Wait till we're both out of this house." I said.
"Doesn't sound too promising." She said and sighed.
"Do you think I like this? Do you think I like treating the girl I love as my lil sis?" I asked and turned to look at her with a frustrated look.
"Whoa. Love?" She asked.
I sighed and started to walk upstairs.
"Eli! Get back here." She yelled.
"We're done talking." I said and continued to walk.
"Oh hell no, we're not." She yelled again and I could tell she was dead serious.
I turned around and sat back down.
"Good boy." She said and patted my head.
"Don't make me laugh." I said and pouted at her.
"We should tell mom and dad." She said and looked at me.
"No. We can't. Every single moment we have will be monitored and there is no way I'm letting that happen." I said and shook my head.
"What good do you think it'll do? You think we'll be able to hold hands during family night?" I said with a sarcastic tone.
"It was just a fucking suggestion." She said and sat back crossing her arms.
"Clare, I don't- I don't want to like you. You have no idea how much I've tried to stop these feelings but they just won't go away. I've tried distractions, ignorance, and simply blocking it out but nothing will work. You're permanently nailed to my head. And believe me when I say nailed." I said and tried not to look at her.
"I used to be this careless douche who never came home at night to a family dude. If that wasn't a miracle, I don't know what is." I continued and sat down next to her.
"What I'm trying to say is, with you…I can't manage some things that happen. With out you…I can't fucking breath oxygen."
"Okay Romeo, I get it." She said and smiled.
"I promise I will find a way though. You will be my girlfriend one day, I can bet my life on it." I said and slowly started to kiss her.

What's Eli's solution? Will Clare go along with it? And do you guys think Eli should of left Shay off so easily?
