Hey readers! I understand this format is so hard to read but I have no idea how to write it any other way. I end up splitting things that aren't meant to be split and several other things. This is my first fan-fiction and I might continue it and it might stick to the events of Degrassi or I may wander off into my own made up events.

"Eli, I need to tell you something." His smile faded and he sat down beside me. "What's wrong Clare?" He set his hand lightly on top of mine, which calmed my nerves a little. My heart was still racing. Worry danced in his stunningly green eyes. "Asher-he-he kissed me," Intense anger flashed over his face, but he stayed quiet as I continued. It was all climbing up my throat so fast it was hardly literate as I stuttered it out. "And-and he locked me in-in his car and tried-" I couldn't continue. The anger in his eyes and the catch in my throat stopped me.

"He kissed you?" A small tear escaped from my eye although I was desperately trying to hold them back. Tears were not going to make this situation any better. "Yes." My voice was small and choked. He took a deep breath, closing his eyes. "Eli," I started but he shook his head lightly. "I can't believe he would do this to you. Why didn't you think you could tell me?" flooded his voice, too many to decipher which was dominant. Anger, sadness, and confusion all bounced around in my own head, jumbling my thoughts.

Why didn't I tell him? It all seemed so silly now. "You were so happy. I didn't want to ruin that for you." Sadness and compassion took over his features. This, I believe, is what you call an emotional rollercoaster. My stomach sure felt like I was on one. "I would rather you be safe than I happy." He said softly. Another tear slid down my cheek. I didn't bother holding them back now. "I-I'm sorry." I murmured. He wrapped his arms protectively around me.

"Clare, it's not your fault. It's all Ashers fault." I nodded into his chest. Tears streamed down my cheeks. The repulsive memories and thoughts filled my head and suddenly I felt sick. "Let me up." I said urgently. He sat up a worried expression on his face. I dashed to the restroom and slammed the door shut. There was no way Eli was going to see me like this.

"Clare, let me in." I couldn't get any words out as I coughed up my insides. I hoped he wouldn't come in when I didn't answer. The sounds of my own gagging and wretching only made my stomach churn more. After a moment I was pretty sure I was done, and the acidic taste was overwhelming in my mouth. Eli had stood silently outside the door the entire time, unfortunately, considering I was making some pretty grotesque noises. I wiped my mouth and opened the door. My head was fuzzy and I could feel my pulse pounding through my veins.

"I'll get you some water." Eli stated. I nodded and a couple bangs and splashes later Eli emerged from the kitchen with a tall glass. I gratefully took it and gulped a couple swallows down. Thankfully this rid the awful taste from my mouth. "Thank you Eli. For everything. I couldn't ask for a better person to help me through this." I murmured pulling my knee's up to my chest. Everything was going to be alright. I could find another intern job.

He took my hand and looked into my eyes. "I'll always be here." He said with a small smirk. That heartwarming, everything-was-going-to-be-fine smirk that melted away every worry that I had.

I need hardcore criticism in those reviews guys. This is certainly not my best work but it was what I wrote so I figured "Hey, why not?"

Also, if you could PM me on how to either get a "beta" (whatever the heck those are?!) or how to format that would be epic!
