A/N: Well, I may have been kidding when I said that I was going to end Alibis in chapter 36, it's finally coming to an end, and right now, I really cannot thank any of you guys enough. This story has been my favorite to update since it was published. I really didn't think that it would reach over 1,000 reviews. Since the moment I became a fan fiction author, I really didn't know that any of my stories will reach 1,000 reviews, or even over the limit. So, one of my goals has been accomplished in life. Ha ha. I know weird… anyway.

PunkKity; even though you no longer read this, you are my 1st reviewer, so you definitely deserve a spot in this thank you note.

AR-Red; you are my 1,000th reviewer. Congratulations.

Heatherpoulette; I always loved your reviews for this story. You always left the "annoying" questions that I always loved to answer in my head, but in the end I would tell you that you will have to wait until the story progresses so you can find out. Your reviews are great!

CrystalNight1; you started reviewing later on in the chapters, and you went back and started reviewing almost every other chapter from the beginning. This really made my day, and you are probably the only person that actually did this, and that's probably the most amazing thing that anybody could ever do. Your reviews always make me smile, because I know that once I post, even if it takes you a day or two, you will always leave such a long review, and I know it will be a happy one. Thank you!

empty-suitcase & thesidkidd; thank you for being one of my beta-readers, even though I didn't use you for long (as bad as that sounds) you still helped me with this story.

We-will-not-fall-down; I don't even know where to start man. You are the first person to start reading this story and review almost every single chapter. Your reviews are really amazing. Even if they started out small, I still enjoyed reading them.

Eclarerocks; ohhh, you should know what I'm going to tell you! Your reviews, SERIOUSLY always made me laugh, especially the review for chapter 31, it was WAY long, but so funny. Without your reviews, I probably would've died of non-happiness.

Clareandeli4eva; teehee, I always enjoy our small conversations on yahoo after you read the update. Even if the updates gross you out or something, you always have something good to say, and then we would trail off and start talking about how sexy and amazing Munro Chambers is, and if you haven't forgotten, the character plots we chose for when Alibis is great enough to become a movie ;) In the end, you really have been such a good critic for this story, and you always reassured me when I thought I did horribly on the chapter. Thank you so much!

EliGold-49; I don't even know where to begin, hm. I don't remember if it was you or not… was plenty of other people, buuuut, yeah. I'm pretty sure you were one of the people that has mentioned to me that I inspired you to write dark stories, if it wasn't you… then sorry for putting you out in the spot light haha. Either way, you still get a thank you because I know you've been reading this story, and it means a lot, it truly does.

To all of you other people, who review, thank you again really! Without you people, yes, you rabid fan girls are included, I would be nothing! I really do want to thank everyone who has come up to me and told me that I have inspired you to write, and asked me to help with your stories, even though I suck at giving critique… Like you guys have NO idea how much your review meant to me. I really do appreciate it! *cries tears of joy* Well, here you guys are, something fantastic to read, and finally, the ending of Alibis.

CHAPTER 33

(Four Days Later)

"Does it still hurt?"

"Just a little bit…"

"That's good."

Silence.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

"I love you, Eli. I'm sure."

"I just don't want you to feel weird with me… you've been really weird with me since… since I told you that I killed your father…"

"Eli, I told you, I'm not weirded out about it. I don't care, I'm glad you did it, otherwise if you didn't, I probably would've done it myself."

"…o-okay."

"Can we… you know—

"I just have to know one thing."

"Okay, what's on your mind?"

"You said… you won't call the cops on me, right…?"

"Eli, I said I won't, and I won't tell anybody what happened, I promise you I won't. Even though it's a really big secret that might come back to haunt you, and both of us for the matter, it is staying between us. I would never do anything to hurt you, and I promise I won't hold this over your head. You did this for me… you put the man that hurts me and my family to rest, finally, and I'm grateful for what you've done. I love you Eli. Nobody has ever done something so huge for me before…"

"I love you too Clare and I'm glad that… we're finally actually talking about this."

"I'm glad too."

"I really do love you Clare… You saved me so many times. I've waited for such a long time to find some sort of change, and you did this for me… you changed me Clare. I'm a whole different person because of you. Without you, I would be nothing… you're my light, my life, my everything… I don't think I could live without you."

Silence.

"I love you Clare Edwards… so much that it scares me, but… I'm going to put all my fears aside, and we will have the most amazing relationship. I can't say that we will be perfect, that things won't be broken, but… I swear I will do anything and everything to make you happy. I will never do anything to harm you, emotionally or physically, I will keep you the happiest girl alive. You're my saving grace Clare, and I will never leave you, and I hope… you will never leave me."

Clare smiled, wide, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Oh Eli…"

Her lips came crashing over mine. And, we kissed. The kiss was really intense, slow – soft, but intense. I moved my mouth with hers, and towered my body over her fragile one that lay beneath mine on the bed in my room. I kept my hands on either side of her head, holding my body up so I wouldn't crush her. But, Clare decided otherwise and she wrapped her arms around my shoulders and pulled me to her. She gasped and tore her mouth away from mine. We both breathed heavily through our slightly parted lips. I looked deeply into her eyes and smiled, wondering how exactly is it, that I'm so lucky to have this beautiful – amazing girl. Clare smiled a little and she leaned up and kissed my jawline. I tilted my head to the side, giving her more room and I let out a small throaty moan when she sucked on the skin just below my ear. Clare's soft lips danced around my neck. She occasionally alternated between sucking, licking, biting and nibbling, and the very sensation drove me over the edge. I cupped her cheek and lifted her chin up. She chewed on her bottom lip and I swooped down and sucked it between my teeth. Clare moaned and as I chewed softly on her bottom lip, and then traced it with my tongue.

She breathed heavily.

I kissed her forehead, and my lips skipped down to her neck where I open mouth kissed her flesh, feeling it twitch against my lips.

Clare moaned in her throat and arched her back just slightly. I left a trail of wet kisses on her bare shoulders, since she was wearing a thin strap shirt, it made this slightly easier, and the jacket that she was wearing previously had been discarded hours ago, so that was an added bonus. I kissed my way down her arm, lifting it in the process as I moved away from her and ended up sitting on my knees. Through half lidded eyes, Clare watched me. I held her wrist against my mouth as I kissed the scars there, something I always did, and always enjoyed to do. Clare smiled a little and she licked her lips. I kissed her palms, her fingertips, and lastly her knuckles. I placed her arm back on the bed, next to her side, and took her other arm, and repeated the process. The smallest whimpers escaped her throat and I found that to be very arousing. Clare leaned up and she pulled me down for a kissing. Her mouth danced over mine, and she swiped her tongue along my bottom lip.

I kissed her back with the same amount of heart burning passion and gripped her hips as I lay on top of her. Clare moaned and wrapped her hands around my neck, her fingers lacing through the hair on the back of my neck and she tugged on the roots. I moaned in her mouth and moved my hands up to her waist, and then to her sides, just beside her breasts. Clare's back arched into me and I pulled my mouth away and we both stared into each other's eyes.

"Eli, will you… will you um – can you touch me?" Clare looked away, and a blush crept upon her cheeks and I smiled a little. I kissed her again and moved my hands onto her breasts and gave them a gentle squeeze through her shirt.

She moaned and tilted her head back, causing her to break the kiss.

With one hand, I gently massaged her through her shirt, while the other, I reached down and fixed the problem in my jeans, as I tried to get comfortable. But, the tight constraint of my skinny jeans was painful, and I don't think any amount of fixing would do me any good. Clare moved and brought me back down to earth, since I dozed off, and she pulled her shirt over her head, revealing her bare breasts to me. I couldn't help it, but my eyes went straight down to her naked chest, but I still knew that she was blushing. She grabbed my hand and placed it over her left breast and squeezed her hand over mine. Clare let go and she reached up and threaded her fingers in my hair and she pushed my head down so I could kiss her again.

I groped her again, occasionally rubbing my thumb around her nipple while my free hand touched her neglected breast.

"E-Eli."

I moaned in response and leaned down, taking her nipple in my mouth and instantly began sucking and licking the hardened piece of pink flesh. Clare breathed heavily, her chest heaved as I continued to tease her nipples. Clare bit her bottom lip, trying to silence herself but I wanted to hear her, so I kissed down her stomach and sucked on the place just below her belly button and then swirled my tongue in her navel. Clare whimpered and she squeaked when I softly bit down on her hip bone. Her hips thrust up and I did the same to her other hip bone, only after I bit it, I sucked hard on it, giving her a hickey. Clare moaned, whined, and whimpered; her fingers reached up and she clenched the hair on the back of my head. I licked the love bite and placed a kiss over the bright red mark. I placed my chin on her stomach and glanced up at her. We locked eyes and she smiled a little at me. She moved her finger in a "come hither" motion and I smiled and crawled up her body.

She kissed me and her fingers pulled on the hem of my shirt. I pulled away only to remove it and I tossed it to the side. Clare's hands moved up and down my bare chest and she traced the faded scars on my forearms, my biceps, wrists, and chest. Clare leaned up and she placed a small kiss on the middle of my chest. While her open mouth kissed my flesh, her small hand reached to the front of my jeans and she stroked my cock gently. I moaned and absentmindedly thrust into her hand. Clare's hand moved slowly back and forth and she squeezed gently.

"Mmm, Clare…" I breathed.

"Is this okay? Do you like this?" She asked timidly.

I nodded and moaned again when she squeezed my cock again. Clare moved and she flipped us over, so I was on my back staring up at her. Her nimble fingers slowly started to unbutton my jeans. When the button snapped open, I watched her slowly reach for the zipper and she pulled it down. Clare bit her lip in concentration and I did the same, only from anticipation. I lifted my hips as she pulled my pants down, along with my boxers, just enough to free my cock. My eyes scanned her naked upper body and her face turned bright red as she looked away hesitantly reached up and wrapped her fingers around my cock, and stroked me gently. I let the sensation wash over me and I moaned softly. Clare gripped my cock tighter and I thrust my hips up each time she moved her fist down. She accidently twisted her hand and I moaned loud.

"Did you like that?" Clare asked.

"Yes." I breathed.

Clare's strokes grew fast and harder and I couldn't control the moans escaping my lips as I squeezed my eyes shut. Clare moved and I slowly opened them to see her face inching closer to my cock. Her lips wrapped around the tip and she gave a small tentative suck. I gasped and my eyes clamped back shut. Clare moved her mouth over me and she stroked what wasn't in her mouth. She licked me all over, and when she looked up at me with an innocent glance, I let out an uncontrollably loud moan and Clare pulled back and blushed as I spilled all over her hand. My hips jerked a little and she reached over and grabbed my shirt and wiped her hand. I slowly opened my eyes and smiled a little as I breathed heavily. I reached up and placed my hand on her side and stroked her soft skin. Clare smiled a little and she moaned when I reached up and touched her breast.

I leaned up and kissed her and removed my pants but pulled my boxers back up. Clare moved me on top of her and I smoothed my hand down her waist and onto the button of her jeans. She whimpered as I unbuttoned them and pulled the zipper down. I was moving a little fast so I broke the kiss and asked, "Is this okay? Do you want me to stop?" Clare quickly shook her hand and grabbed my face and forced her lips over mine. I moved my hand into her pants and massaged her already wet flesh through her panties. Clare squirmed beneath me and I pulled my head back and watched her face as I pushed her panties to the side and slipped my middle finger inside her. She clamped her eyes shut and opened her mouth and she let out a small moan. I pumped my finger in and out slowly and added another, moving them in wave like motion, brushing them against that one spot deep inside her.

"Ohh, Eli! Eli!" Clare moaned.

I swooped down and kissed her neck a few times while I plunged my fingers in and out faster and harder.

It was a little hard for me, because she still hand her pants on, but I managed. Clare leaned up and she kissed my neck and moaned against my flesh. I stifled a moan when she bit down on my flesh, and I pushed my fingers deeper inside her, listening to her moaning, enjoying the fact that I can get her to scream for me. Her inner walls started to clench and unclench around my fingers and I pulled them out, causing her to whimper from the loss and her hips arched off the bed. She whimpered, "Why did you stop? Eli, it feels like I'm burning, please—continue!"

"Clare, I want to try something, do you trust me?" I asked, gazing into her dilated blue eyes. She was hesitant at first, but she nodded. I kissed her forehead and pulled her pants down. Clare swallowed hard and I removed her panties as well. This wouldn't be the first time I've seen her naked, but actually looking at her most intimate spot, made my cock hard again. I caressed her naked thighs and moved so my head was between her legs. I wrapped my arms through her bent legs and placed my hands on her inner thighs, keeping them open for me. Clare whimpered and I glanced up at her before I moved my head back down and placed a kiss on the wet, sensitive bundle of nerves. Clare's hips jerked a little and I slowly passed my tongue up and down in between her velvety folds and flicked the tip of my tongue over her swollen clit. Clare whimpered again and she gasped. I moaned against her flesh when I thrust my tongue inside her, tasting her. I tilted my head to the side and sucked on her folds, tugging gently on them. Clare arched her back and reached up to clench my hair in her hand. I went back to moving my tongue inside her and flickered it in place.

"E-Eli, oh my god, Eli!" Clare cried out.

I pulled away only to place small kisses on her inner thighs and sucked on the flesh there. Clare whimpered from the loss and she arched her hips up trying to get me to continue. I complied and sucked on her clit while I unwrapped my arm from around her thigh and pushed my index and middle finger inside her. Clare breathed heavily and arched her back deliciously as I continued the pleasurable torment on her clit – sucking, nibbling and licking tortuously slow. I plunged my fingers in and out of her and licked her clit faster, trying to get her to come for me. I glanced up at her and our eyes locked; I kept looking at her as I sucked hard on her clit and curled my fingers. That alone made Clare cry out in pure bliss and her fluids pooled around my fingers. I pulled away and rubbed her wet clit, helping her ride out her intense orgasm. Her body shook as I kissed my way up to her lips.

Clare moaned when my cock pressed against her and my breath hitched.

"Eli, please… now." She whispered.

I nodded and removed my boxers and reached over in the nightstand and pulled a condom out. Clare took it from my hand and I began to protest but she had already ripped the wrapper open and pulled it out. She pushed me to my back and I blushed lightly as she rolled it on over my length. Clare lay on her back and she motioned me to move on top of her. I resumed my position over her and kept my body weight off her, so I wouldn't crush her. I nudged her legs apart and placed my hands on either side of her head as I pushed into her. Clare smiled a little and I thrust all the way in. Clare wrapped her legs around my waist and we both moaned as I moved much deeper inside her.

"Eli, move…" Clare gasped.

I flipped us over and moaned as she kept her body close to me and she moved her hips. I reached up and cradled her breasts in my hands as she thrust her hips back and forth, her back arched, and she thrust her head back. I massaged her breasts and moved with her. She moaned and moved away from me. I gripped her hips and watched as she guided her own body up and down over my cock. I closed my eyes and breathed heavily, slightly jerking my hips up to meet her own thrusts. Clare gasped and placed her hands on my abdomen and thrust her hips back and forth faster and harder. I moaned and sat up so she was in my lap. Her legs wrapped around me and I moved my hands from her hips to her ass, and grabbed her flesh. Clare blushed but she moaned loud when I jerked my hips up hard.

"Ohh, Eli, d-do that again!"

"What," I smirked and kissed her neck; "this?" I jerked my hips up and she let out a huge moan.

"Yes! That!" She cried out.

I continued doing this, until I felt her body begin to shake and her inner walls clenched painfully around my cock. I moaned and thrust my hips faster, trying to get her to come before me. Clare's arms wrapped around my shoulders and I wrapped mine securely around her waist, pulling her naked chests together. Her fingers clenched my shoulder blades and she finally let go, screaming my name. I breathed and moaned, soon falling over the edge with her. I pressed my forehead over her chest and breathed heavily. Clare's chest heaved and she gripped the hair on the back of my head and pulled me back. I glanced up at her and smiled softly as she kissed my lips.

One Hour Later.

The Dot

"Are you sure he got the text, Eli?" Clare asked.

"Yes, I'm sure of it. He's probably with Fiona; he seemed pretty tense when he called me after." I said as I continued to write. Clare scratched the back of my neck softly and I placed the pen down on the table we sat at, and glanced down at the letter I wrote back for Aiden. After the incident with Randal I had to take some time off, with Clare, and myself. I needed to get my act together. My parents didn't notice anything different in my behavior, which is good.

Clare kissed my cheek and rubbed my back as I licked the envelope and sealed it shut after putting the folded piece of paper in there. She wrapped her arms around me and I leaned over and kissed her neck.

"Ahem."

I pulled away from her and craned my neck, eyeing Adam standing on the side of the table, and he took a seat in the other side of the boot. Clare and I blushed and laughed nervously at the same time. Adam rolled his eyes and he sighed.

"So, Fiona and I broke up." He groaned.

"Again?" I laughed.

"Yeah, but I'm not worried about it. She was cheating on me anyway. Stupid rich snob." Adam growled.

"Well, let's talk about something more important, like the new school year." Clare joined in. Adam and I groaned in unison and I rolled my eyes. Clare giggled and she turned so she was facing me. She said, "I really can't wait. This is going to be one exciting school year. New friends, maybe, new teachers, and new—

"Drama?" Adam finished.

"That too." Clare said.

I chuckled and wrapped my arm around her shoulders and kissed her hard on the lips.

"The only drama that will occur is the fact that every guy in that school will be so jealous that I have such a beautiful girl as my girlfriend." I smirked at Clare's cute blushing face and she leaned up and kissed my cheek.

"Like me?" Adam muttered.

Clare and I laughed and he soon joined in.

"Look on the bright side Adam; at least you can flirt with my friend Alli now. She asked a lot about you the past few days." Clare said. Adam waggled his eyebrows suggestively and Clare rolled her eyes.

For the next hour, Adam and I told Clare the many things that she should avoid in Degrassi, the people, teachers, everything. But, she had basically threw us off telling us that she was going to be just fine, because she knew what exactly to do with being the new kid. I smirked at her and watched as she talked to Adam, telling him the plan she had formulated a while back. I realized that getting paranoid about everything would be useless, so I just agreed with her. But, that doesn't mean I wasn't going to protect her from the "dangers of Degrassi".

Having Fitz there and a bunch of other Neanderthals, as much as Clare believes she will make it in Degrassi and avoid jackasses at all times, sorry for her, but she's sadly mistaken.

It's going to be one long year, but an adventurous one at that.

"What do you think, Eli?" Clare asked.

"Think of what?"

"Having a movie night after the first day of school, my house, Adam's coming over, and I can invite Alli and we can all have some freedom together." Clare explained.

I glanced over at Adam and he mouthed yes and nodded. I chuckled.

"It sounds great, something I wouldn't miss in the world to be spending time with my girl and my best friend." I leaned over and kissed her cheek.

"Even after the first day of school, you know how it is on the first day of school in Hell High." Adam rubbed the back of his neck and I smirked.

"Well, Clare is going to make my day better, so there's no point in worrying right?" I questioned while moving my arm around her shoulders.

"Point proven." Adam smirked.

Clare smiled and she laced her fingers with mine. "I love you, so much Eli."

She kissed me chastely and I smiled against her lips.

"I love you too Clare, nothing will change that."

The End
