Disclaim. I don't own Degrassi or Glitter in the air.

It's only half past the point of no return

-Clare-

I don't know when I started feeling like this about him, but I had to get away. He's becoming more and more dangerous by the day, and I don't know if I'm really ready to help keep him from cracking.

I just...I love him far too much to let him cling to me and become even scarier to be around.

The tip of the iceberg

I can't believe he crashed Morty. I have to get out now. That was my only thought as I left him in the hospital and my heart broke.

I had to run, so do I did. I ran until I was in a park by my house. The few flowers in the garden that could bloom with it being this cold were the only color. I sat on one of the icy stone benches and cried.

And the breath before the phrase

Have you ever felt this way?

Someone sat down next to me, but said nothing. I didn't bother looking up until I was sure my tears had stopped. I was surprised to see that it was Fitz sitting next to me. He had two cups in his hand.

"I saw you run passed The Dot. I didn't know if you liked coffee or not, so I bought you a hot chocolate," he said simply before handing me the warm cup. It was chillier out now that the sun had set, and I was thankful for the warmth of the Styrofoam.

"Thank you," I said quietly. I clutched the cup after I took a sip. Several minutes passed before I realized that it must have been late. "I have to get home," I said suddenly.

"I'll walk you home, Clare. It's late," he offered. "I just wanted to make sure you were okay."

"Thank you, Fitz, but I'm fine." I stood and went to walk away.

"I want to make sure you're safe," he pressed.

"I'll be fine. My house is only a few blocks from here." I turned around and smiled at him. He stood and walked over to me.

"Sorry, Sugar, but you're not getting rid of me that easily when I want to make sure that your safe," he informed me before starting over to me. I clutched my cup and bit back a smile before I turned away from him and started walking. He fell into step beside me.

Once we were in front of my house, I looked at him and realized that he was staring at me intently. I smiled.

"Thanks for walking me home. Good night, Fitz," I said before I climbed the stairs to my home. Before I went inside, I looked over my shoulder and saw that he was still standing there. "But don't call me 'Sugar'." He smiled back and shook his head before walking away as I pushed my front door open.

I don't usually write fluff like this, but I hope that this sort of fills a happy Clare place. I was so sad when they broke up. =/

But I feel like Fitz would have done something had he been there or something. He was trying to be nice to her after all.
