(Quick note some time pov may change) Clare's POV

Things between Eli and I were just starting to get better. Eli was so happy and I know I have to tell him about Asher soon or he will find out on his own and be pissed. I just do not want to be so selfish. I never want to make Eli unhappy I still feel like a jackass for causing him so much physical and emotional pain. I love him so much I hate myself for hurting him like that and telling him about Asher is going to be really hard.

In Degrassi Hallway
"Hey Clare! " I heard Alli yell across the hall. She grabbed my arm and dragged me into the girl's bathroom. "Have you told Eli yet he keeps asking why you have been acting so strange lately I can't hide this from him much longer you really need to tell him." Alli reminded me. Tears instantly fall down my face and I run out of the bathroom not looking were I am going and run into Eli. I can't help but thinking oh crap. "Oh my god Clare are you okay did I hurt you?" Eli asked. I interlocked my hand with his and took him outside and sat on a bench.

"Eli I don't know how to say it so I am just going to say it I got fired from my internship and." I barley said. "I began sobbing into his chest. He ran his fingers through my hair and after the long silence Eli said impatiently "what's the and part?" "Asher he um he." "He did what Clare?" Eli asked concerned. I took a deep breath and said "Asher sexually harassed me." I said bluntly. I look down at my feet getting ready to be yelled at for not telling him sooner and to my surprise I felt Eli's arm wrap around. "Why aren't you mad for me not telling you sooner?" I asked confused. Eli did not answer he looked up at me kissed my forehead and we sat in silence for a few minutes. "Clare I love you and you will not go through this alone and already consider Asher's ass dead. I am going to kill him for doing this to my Clare." He said in rage.

"No it will just make things worse what if he hurts you he can't hurt you it will be all my fault and I have this feeling that it's all my fault I got harassed I feel like such a jackass Eli for putting you through this and telling you when you are in such a happy place and now I ruined it. I'm so sorry." I barley choked out due to many tears falling down my face. "Clare I can't just sit down and act like every things okay when the girl I love got sexually harassed and Clare thank you for telling me." He said. He leaned in and kissed me he his tongue entered my mouth and I did the same. I pulled back and hugged Eli. I looked up at him. "I love you Elijah Goldsworthy and don't you ever forget it. He smirked. "And I love you Clare Edwards." He replied. We spent nearly an hour outside cuddling after words.

"Clare we already missed three of our classes we might as well ditch this place." He said. I took his hand and we went off. "We should go see a movie."Eli said breaking the silence. "Sure what movie?" "Diary of a wimpy kid." He said. I raised an eyebrow and looked at him really strangely. "Why do you want to see that movie?" He did not answer. "I bet because it's a documentary on the one and only Eli Goldsworthy". I said joking around. "Ha-ha so funny Clare as awesome as that movie sounds were going to see the Dark knight rises if that's all right with you." He said. "No problem." I answered. We soon arrived at the movie theater Eli parked his car and I was about to open the door when. "Clare don't open the door!" He shouted. I sit still a little taken back. He gets out and opens the door for me. "You are such a freak but a gentlemen at the same time you must be some unknown subspecies of men."I said. "Maybe I am a freakelmen." He joked. "Makes sense." I said. He took my hand and intertwined out fingers and kissed my hand. "Clare I love you so much." He said. I smiled and said "I love you too."

Eli bought the tickets and purchased us popcorn and one soda and of course knowing Eli two straws. We sat down and enjoyed the movie. After that Eli took me home. "Eli thank you so much I had an amazing time I love you." I whispered into his ear. He kissed me. "I love you too I have to go Clare see you tomorrow.

Eli's POV
I knew what I was doing was going to piss Clare off but I could not let Asher get away with this. I walked up to his office and opened the door. "Hey Eli right?"Asher said. At this point I was fuming. I could tell Asher saw the anger in my face. "I am guessing the slut told you she was all over me." He said. "She is not a slut she is beautiful and you took advantage of my girlfriend and you're going to pay for this." I said loudly. "Oh please if I agreed to have sex with her she would have said yes in a heartbeat. " Shut the fuck up!" At this point I was screaming at him. He looked at me and smiled he said "Don't worry I don't go for whores." I was so mad I go into punch him when I feel and sharp pain in my stomach and realize Asher just stabbed me.
