Odd Is the New Even;-*

Summary- Eli confronts Fiona about not showing up for Adam's party and Eli soon learns Adam isnt the one Fiona is interested in. Eli/Fiona and possibly Clare/Adam!Parings inspired by Speak Now by DustySporks

Eli Goldsworthy knocked on the condo door of Fiona Coyne impatiently waiting for the senior girl to answer. She swung open the door and a champagne glass was in her hand. Her curly black hair hung over her shoulders delicately and she had a small grin on her face. She arched an eyebrow and opened the door wider for him. "Wont you come in" she giggled plopping down on the couch taking a swig out of her glass.

"Fiona" Eli began "Adam is crushed you didn't show up to the party he planned for you and all I want to know is why?"

"Goth boy" Fiona rolled her eyes "I did go" she laughed

"It's Eli and you didn't I would have saw you"

"You did see me" she laughed throwing her head back "we danced together"

"No I would have remembered" he said getting aggravated. He heard Fiona was a drinker but he didn't think it was this bad.

"You're so silly and uptight. Have a drink," she said getting up and losing her balance stumbling around a bit.

Eli watched her stumble around a bit and it took her till she fell for him to get up and help her. Eli crouched down "are you okay?"

"Perfect as can be" she giggled uncontrollably. Eli helped her up and held onto her arm as he led her to her bedroom and tucked her into bed. "You stay in bed and I will be right back" he brought her some water and pain reliever for when she is a little less tipsy.

He went into the living room and found Fiona's phone and scrolled through the contacts till he got to Declan. He knew she had a brother a twin brother in fact and there was this whole twincest thing but he never actually met him. And Clare told him about her steamy fan fiction she wrote about him. He smirked think about it. He hit the call button and brought the phone to his ear.

"No Fiona. I will not come back and try to get Holly J. She made it clear that she will call when she is ready. As much as I love her I have to wait" Declan sighed sadly into the phone.

"uh no this is Eli Goldsworthy. I came to talk to Fiona and she was a bit drunk and I honestly have no clue what to do." Eli laughed a bit

"Oh sorry" Declan murmured embarrassed. "Well I can't do much in New York but you can call Holly J. she should be number 2 speed dial behind me" Declan said and Eli knew he was smiling. He hated narsistic people.

"Thanks I will do that. Bye now" he said and hit end before he could get a reply. He hit number two and Declan was right there Holly J's name was. He remembered Adam mentioning how her and Fiona were attached at the hip and he often saw the two together in the hallway but never thought of calling her. He hit the talk button and waited for the girl to pick up.

"Hey Fiona how is it going?" Holly J's cheeriness came through the phone

"Hi this is Eli Goldsworthy. I am a friend of Adam's and I came to talk to her. She is a little drunk and I don't want to leave her alone and I have no clue what to do."

"Oh...Kay" she replied slowly "you want me to come over?" She asked after Eli didn't say anything.

"That would be great because I don't know what I'm doing" he laughed

"Ok I will be there soon" Holly J told him and hung up.

Eli set down the girl's phone and began picking up empty champagne bottles and wine glasses. Holly J opened the door and sighed, "you don't have to do that"

"It's cool. I don't mind" Eli shrugged

"Thanks for getting her in bed but why are you here?" Holly J asked setting her bag down

"I came to ask her why she didn't go to the party Adam through for her" he stuffed his hands in his pockets.

"Oh well it's not best to talk to her when she is like this. All you get is weird answers and a lot of giggling" she smiled.

"Yea I noticed" he laughed and scratched his chin "I called Declan because I didn't know who to call and I had to leave so he said to call you"

"Oh" Holly J whispered looking at the floor

"Yes he also said that he wasn't going to come back here and try to get you to be with him again because you would call when your ready even though he loves you very much" Eli smirked. He could tell he was making her uncomfortable.

"Well you can show yourself out I can take over" she said ignoring the conversation of Declan completely walking toward Fiona's room

Eli nodded and grabbed his coat shutting the door quietly behind him.

Degrassi Community School; Monday Morning; 7:18 AM

Fiona tucked her books under her arm as she grabbed her sketchbook out of her locker. She saw Eli walking with Clare and approached the two. Clare visibly tensed being protective of Adam.

"Hi guys" she smiled weakly "Eli I just want to thank you for what you did and I have to explain later on when you're alone"

"It was nothing and how about during lunch?" he asked, "I can meet you by the stairs"

"Okay see you then" Fiona nodded and walked to class.

Clare turned to her boyfriend and raised an eyebrow "what did you do for her"

"My oh my Clare Edwards are you jealous?" he smirked

"No" she said defensively "I'm just curious"

"All I did was confront her about Adam and she was drunk so I just helped her out making sure she was safe" he shrugged

"Oh" Clare said letting out a relieved sigh "I thought I would have to be worried"

Eli laughed, "You shouldn't be so let's go to English," he said as the two walked into the classroom and sat in the back next to Adam who looked really upset.

"Hey how are you holding up?" Clare asked with a sympathetic smile

"Fine and dandy" Adam said sarcastically "I still can't believe she stood me up"

"We still don't know why so once it's all sorted out it will be okay" Eli cut in. He still had his talk with Fiona at lunch.

"Yea Eli is going to talk to Fiona at lunch and we will see why she ditched" Clare nodded and Adam shrugged.

"I have the next two periods with her. It's going to be weird" he sighed

"Just hang in there buddy" Eli reassured him as Mrs. Dawes came in and started telling the class about their assignment.

Degrassi Community School; Monday Morning; Second Block; 8:16 AM

Fiona stepped into class and proceeded to her seat in the back. Adam sat looking down at this sketchpad as he doodled. Fiona looked over at him hoping he would talk to her and maybe forgive her.

"Hi" she whispered

"Hi yourself" Adam said bitterly quickly glancing up to see the pain in her gray blue eyes. He felt remorse for a quick second and the recognized that look from his own eyes.

"Look Adam I can explain" she said desperately

"Please Fiona just save it" he rolled his eyes. As much as he liked Fiona she hurt him and he needed time to think.

Next block they had gym together. Adam's mother finally let him take regular gym class. Today they were playing dodge ball.

Fiona sat on the sidelines reading a fashion magazine. Somehow she always managed to get out of gym class and not fail. Adam thought about it and it was probably how her smile could melt your heart in a milla-second or how

her eyes look deeply into yours and you know you can't resist her. Or it's her laugh that sounds like an angels calling and maybe just maybe it's her gentle touch with she caresses your arm and you feel like your on cloud nine.

He mentally slapped himself. Fiona clearly didn't deserve his attention after being stood up like that and she ignored all his calls. He glanced up at her as she flipped the page and smiled to herself. He broke away as Drew patted his shoulder.

"Trouble in paradise?" he joked

Adam groaned and shook off his hand. The only thing he hated about gym class was being in it with his brother and changing. "It's really none of your business" Adam snorted as he caught a ball flying toward him and passing it to his brother.

"Whatever" Drew replied and walked away.

Degrassi Community School Stairs; Monday Afternoon; 12:42 PM

By the time lunch rolled around Fiona sat on the bottom of the stairs talking to Holly J before she had a student council meeting. "And he will barely look at me" Fiona sighed frustrated

"I really don't know what to tell you Fi" Holly J sighed, "you had reasons and he should understand"

"I don't deserve him," Fiona cried as she wrapped her arms around her knees and buried her face into her khaki pants.

"You deserve anyone you want Fiona" Holly J reassured her "I got to get to my meeting but we can talk more tonight" she said before walking down the hallway leaving Fiona alone.

Five more minutes passed before Eli walked up and sat down next to her "why didn't you go to the party?" Eli asked almost instant upon sitting down.

"Hello to you too" Fiona teased smiling a playful grin

Eli just stared at her searching for answers in her eyes. She closed her eyes and breathed in deeply

"Oh no I know that sigh. I should have brought some popcorn" Eli smirked bumping shoulders with her

"In New York I had a boyfriend name Bobby. He was charming on the outside and vile on the inside. Things were great" she laughed smally as tears sprung in her eyes "one night I was getting ready to go out and Bobby and I got into an argument and he slapped me giving me a black eye. Then one day he threw me down the stairs and I couldn't take it

so I fled here" she sighed and Eli gently placed his hand on hers and she made no effort to move it.

"I'm sorry Fiona" he said concerned

"Its fine but it's just that Adam is different and so was Bobby and I just don't want to go through that again. It was so hard on my family and me. I'm not even sure if I want a boyfriend right now. So that's why I didn't show up" she sighed "I'm a terrible person"

"No" Eli said "your not. You were scared and I get that and Adam will too."

"Thanks" Fiona said sitting up and grabbing her purse from between her legs.

"Anytime and Adam is different" Eli laughed

"Well different scares me and different and I don't mix" Fiona sighed "I like normal and down to earth guys like you" she smiled softly and walked down the hallway as her heels echoed when they hit the tile floors.
