I couldn't move. He was holding me down. His breath smelled like beer and smoke. I hated when he got like this. I told him to stop. But he growled and smacked me, right across the face. I finally got out of his grip and ran out of my room.

"BITCH! WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU"RE GOING!" He yelled at me.

Finally, I got outside, just to see my two neighbors. I fell to the ground, Sore. I yelled for help and they came rushing over, or at least I thought so. He hit me so hard I couldn't see very well. Just then, I saw a tall black figure standing over me. Fitz.
I tried yelling for help, but nothing was coming out. He shoved me up and draged me inside, slamming the door behind us.

"Don't you EVER, run away from me like that ever again" He growled, and punched me in the stomach. I fell to the ground, in pain, thinking "this was it".

"I-I w-want to br-break u-up" I stuttered.

"You don't want anything" He wishpered.

He picked me up and threw me down the stair case. I fell on top of a glass table set up right agaisnt the wall, knocking down everything on it.

I woke up. What happened? I asked myself. Why was I dreaming about that? My parents came rushing in telling me why I was screaming. I had a nightmare. About the night Fitz abused and raped me.

"Honey, what happened?" my mother asked.

"I-I Don't know? I think I was dreaming about what happened with Fitz."

"Oh, Clare.. Don't worry about that, it's in the past and Fitz is in jail for a really long time. He won't be able to hurt you." My Dad tried to explain.

"But I still remember it Dad! He made me feel unprotected around everyone that comes near me! Its like I can't love anyone anymore." I cried with lots of emotion.

"Clare, it's okay. Now go back to sleep. Tomorrow is your first day back to school" Mom comfronted me and tucked me in. "I love you" She kissed me on my forehead and closed the door behind her.

I finally calmed down and went back to sleep.

"Goood Morning Degrassi!" Mr. Simpson pronoucned over the loud-speaker. " Welcome back to Degrassi, I hope you guys had a great summer"

"Yeah right. I had the most amazing summer ever." I said sarcasticly under my breath.

"Guys! This is Elijah Goldsworthy! He is a new student here at Degrassi, please Welcome him!" Ms. Dawes pronounced.

I turned around to see the most gorgeous human being ever. He had dark green eyes, black long hair, and a smirk that made my heart skip a beat.

"Eli, you can be seated right in front of Clare Edwards, your new English Partner" Ms. Dawes pointed out and introduced me to him

He looked at me like we were the only people left in this world. He smiled at me, and started up a converstation.

"Hi there. I'm Eli" He smirked.

"Clare... It's nice to meet you." I got really nervous. It was so obivious he was already into me. I just wanted the whole world to disapear and just let it be me and him

"Clare, do you mind showing Eli around the school?" Mr. Dawes asked politely.

"Uh.. s-sure.. why not?" I showed her a fake smile.

I noticed Eli was still looking at me. It was like he was burning holes in my face. It was quite amazing, but slighty uncomfortable.

"Come on Eli, lets go." I smirked and grabbed him by the arm.

We laughed and laughed for what seemed like hours, he was a very funny, mysterious, and a very cute guy. He made me seem like I could actually fall for him, and forget the whole Fitz inncident. I didn't
have a care in the world. Even though I just met the guy, I was falling for him.

Eli's POV

Right when I walked into Ms. Dawe's english room, someone caught my eye. She was the most beautiful thing in the world. And when I heard that she was going to be my english partner, my heart fluttered. We introduced
our selves to each other then Ms. Dawes asked a question that made my heart skip a beat.

"Clare, you you mind showing Eli around the school?"

"U-uh. Sure.. why not?" Clare faked a smile, which I could tell because she was laughing with some kid named Adam, I think thats his name.

We walked down the hallways, laughing at everything we said. He laugh was so cute. The way she blushed with I made fun of her. Her drop dead beautiful blue eyes, made me want to kiss her, so pasionate that the world would
slowly disapear around us. I've never had this feeling in a long time. Right when her hand brushed against mine, sparks flew everywhere. Then suddenly, it hit me. I was falling for a beautiful girl, Clare Edwards.

"W-well. What do you wanna do?" I asked softly. " I would love to go somewhere, just the two of us. Just to talk."

"Skip? Well I-" She started but I cut her off.

"Okay. Fine, it's a bad idea. I know.. " Eli admitted

"It is a bad idea. But hey, I want to get to know you better." Clare spoke with a wide smile.

She grabbed me by the hand and walked me outside.

"Where do you want to go?" I asked her

"Uhm... How about we just take a drive and stop... somewhere... and just... talk?" Clare said softly, thinking Eli would totally be agaisnt the idea.

"Sure. I would love to." Eli smiled widely. "Get in"

"A hearse? You drive a hearse?" Clare asked me confused.

"Yes. It's a long story, I'll explain it later." Eli clenched his jaw. Trying not to remember what happened.

No POV.

They finally got to a deserted place by the old apartment buildings a few blocks away from Degrassi.

They sat for hours, and just talked about everything. Clare told him how her parents were fighting alot, and how her sister died. She told him how her best friend, Alli, stole KC from her.. she told him pretty much everything about her life.
Except what happened with Fitz. Eli could tell that something was up, but he could't get it out of her. No matter how hard he tried, she didn't have the guts to tell him.

"Now, tell me why you drive a hearse?" Clare brought it up to Eli, and Eli looked annoyed. "It's fine you don't have to tel-" Eli cut her off.

"My girlfriend died. We had a huge argument, and she drove off in the middle of the night, and got raped and killed. The Police were looking everywhere to find her, and one day. Some guy was walking down in the creek near the Toronto Park, and found her body. I got the call right when I heard on the news that a womens body was found. My heart stopped and I..." He stopped for a second and let a tear escape his eye. "And I couldn't help it anymore. I just wanted my life to end. I wanted to be with Julia forever. I went upstiars and found a knife.. I cut myself, but not too bad. I just couldn't believe she was gone. She was the love of my life. I cared about her, It was a week before our 3 year anniversary, I was goning to ask her to marry me." Eli took in a deep breath and started sobbing. " I said things I shouldn't of said, but right when I told her something, that I wish I would take back, she was gone. That was the last time I ever saw her."

" Oh my god Eli. I'm so sorry, I had no idea." Clare said to Eli trying to comfort him.
"It's okay Clare, cause I met someone. And I really like her. Shes one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen." Eli wiped a tear and turned to Clare and wishpered something in her ear. 'It's you"

Just by those two word. Clare felt like she was loved, cared for, and that someone had her heart. Eli leaned backward and put his hands on either side of her face. "I like you, Clare Edwards."

Eli pushed his face closer and closer to hers, and when their lips touched,sparks flooded around them. The moved their lips together in a slow motion, forgetting the world around them. Eli slid his tounge on her bottom lip making Clare moan a little bit, and then she gladly opened up to him. Their tounges danced with each other, listening to the breaths between each kiss. Eli then moved his hands from her wasit, and Clare pulled away.

"Stop". Clare felt dis-comfort when he touch one of her his and put his hand around her back. She remember when Fitz threw her down the steps and causing it to leave a huge bruise across her back.

"What? Did I do something wrong?" Eli asked concerened.

" No it's just..-" Clare broke down, crying. She couldn't breathe, she just couldn't let this happen to her again, not all the pain.

"Clare. Tell me what happened. I reall want to know, So I won't hurt you." Eli wishpered.

"I Can't.." Clare disagreed.

"Clare..-"

"ELI! NO!"

"Clare, I just want to protect you.! I really like you. I think I'm falling for you, I want to be more than friends, just tell me." Eli stopped and looked at Clare straight in her eyes. " Please"

Clare took a deep breath.. Just hearing those words made her feel like Eli actually cared, that he wanted to protect her. She sighed and look into Eli's beautiful green eyes.

"I was raped."
