A/N: This is Post-DTW. I didn't update yesterday, but it was my last day of soccer tryouts, and I had to work extra super hard, which paid off. Haha, you probably don't care, but yeah, sorry for not updating yesterday. Anyways, GoldsworthyGontierGirl123, thanks for the advice about high school, it really made me feel better about it.:) Anyways, here's the next one!

Rhythm of Love by Plain White T's

My head is stuck in the clouds

She begs me to come down

Says, Boy, quit foolin' around

I told her, I love the view from up here

Warm sun and wind in my ear

We'll watch the world from above

As it turns to the rhythm of love

I was walking with Clare along the sidewalk, swinging our hands between us, just talking about random things.

We couldn't drive because of the whole crashing my car in my crazy moment, so now, I walk. But that's okay, because Clare forgave me, and we got back together.

I was so happy when she took me back, but I made a promise to myself and to her, that I wouldn't get clingy or let my disease get in the way. I've been taking my meds, so that's helping.

Anyways, we were walking to the park and it was Friday night, so she didn't have to be home till ten-thirty. It's only seven now, so we have a few hours to hang out until then. We got to the park, and I climbed up a huge tree, leaving Clare at the bottom, frantically telling me to get down before I fall.

"Eli! Are you crazy? You can't see anything, and you're gonna fall!" she called up, grabbing the tree, as to stop it from collapsing or something.

"Clare, don't have a heart attack. I'll be fine, it's not like I've never climbed a tree before. Besides, I like it up here; it's relaxing. In fact, why don't you come up?" I offered, preparing to lower myself to help her up.

"Um . . . sure?" Clare replied, saying it more like a question. I smirked at her uneasiness.

"Don't worry, Clare. I won't let you fall," I assured her as I was helping her up.

"Thanks, Goldsworthy, but you're acting like I've never climbed a tree before." God, she can be so sarcastic sometimes; it's funny and sexy at the same time.

"It's nice up here," Clare murmured, looking at the stars. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder tightly and grabbed her hand.

"Yeah, it is. I like being alone with you." She looked up at me and smiled, leaning her head on my shoulder.

We may only have tonight

But till the morning sun, you're mine

All mine; play the music low

And sway to the rhythm of love

After we got down from the tree, we lay down in the grass and just stared at the stars, having conversations about the most random things.

"What do you want to do when you graduate?" Clare asked, looking up at my face which was looking at the stars.

"I'm not sure; I want to do either something with writing or theater," I answered, looking down at her.

"I figured it would have to do with one of those," Clare mused, playing with my hair.

"Well, what do you plan on doing after Degrassi?"

"Something with writing, most likely." She shrugged, and scooted up so we were eye level. "I do hope that you're somewhere in my future, though," she whispered, looking into my eyes.

"Definitely do I see you in my future," I whispered back. I leaned down and touched my lips to hers, slowly and gently. She responded immediately, and wrapped her arms around my neck; mine went to her waist, and I pulled her on top of me. We stayed like that for a few minutes, before we had to pull away for air.

I leaned my forehead against hers and just looked into her eyes.

My heart beats like a drum

A guitar string to the strum

A beautiful song to be sung

She's got blue eyes, deep like the sea

They roll back when she's laughing at me

She rises up like the tide

The moment her lips meet mine

We were walking around the park, hand in hand, when I stopped in front of the swings. She looked at me confused, until I grabbed one and gestured for her to sit on it. She giggled and sat, and I started pushing her. I know I sound like a total sap right now, but she changed me into this! She's the one who makes me want to do all this romantic stuff for her, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

She was laughing at a joke I said to her, and it wasn't even funny. But we always laugh when we're together. I grabbed her hips when the swing came back to me, and pulled it to a stop. I walked in front of her and stood between her legs, which were dangling from the swing.

Her breathing hitched in her throat, and I grabbed her hand and put it up to my chest over my heart. It was thumping really fast, and I whispered, "You feel that? You did that. You do that every time I'm with you. You don't think you affect me at all, but you really have no idea." I stared into her eyes and watched the blush appear across her cheeks, that seemed like it was permanently painted there.

She stared back at me and put my hand over her heart, which seemed to be beating just as fast as mine. "You're not the only one affected in this relationship," she whispered, smiling shyly at me.

We may only have tonight

But till the morning sun, you're mine

All mine; play the music low

And sway to the rhythm of love

"Well, I hope I can continue to be affected by you for a long time, Clare. I really do love you, and I didn't mean to get clingy or to scare you before. It was just too much for me to handle with Julia's death and everything, and the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder was getting the best of me," I rambled on, not sure what my point was anymore.

"Shh, Eli, it's okay. None of that matters, anymore. And if anything, I should be the one apologizing, because I left you, even after I promised you I would never do that. But please, let's try not to think about that, now. Let's just focus on us." Clare tried to sooth me, and it was working. She's right; I shouldn't be thinking about the bad things that happened, I should be thinking of ways that I can get her to completely trust me again.

"Okay, let's just have fun. I have an idea, come with me."

When the moon is low, we can dance in slow motion

And all your tears will subside

All your tears will dry

And long after I've gone, you'll still be humming along

And I will keep you in my mind

The way you make love so fine

I grabbed her hand and led her to a big grassy spot in the park, under the moon, and pulled out my iPod. I put it on shuffle, and we each put an ear bud in, and we danced under the moon. We danced to the song, Rhythm of Love by Plain White T's, and just whispered sweet nothings to each other. We stayed like that until I had to take her home.

We may only have tonight

But till the morning sun, you're mine

All mine; play the music low

And sway to the rhythm of love

Play the music low

And sway to the rhythm of love

Yeah, sway to the rhythm of love

A/N: Cliché, but I thought it was cute. Did you? I wasn't sure how I wanted to end it, so I left it there.:( Forgive me by leaving a review? And I know it's not exactly a slow song to dance to, but I didn't want to do another one and have it get all confusing.
